BECKER WILL
GET NEW TRIAL,
ALBANY RUMOR
Condemned Man Hopefully
Awaits Decision of JUS
tice Ford.

NEW YORK, July es.-Charles
Becker was to have been electrocuted
today Instead, the convicted police
lieutenant, buoyed up by his wife, his
cheerful as he sat in his cell in the
Sing Sing death house, waiting for
the word from Supreme Court Justice
Ford that will either send him to the
electric chair or grant him a new
trial and give him the chance to tell
his own story of the killing of Her
man Rosenthai.
Rumors were current here and in
Albany that Becker's attorneys had
been successful No confirmation
could be obtained.
Justice Ford, it is thought, will rem
der his decision this afternoon or to-
night. Becker is doomed to die Fri
day morning at 5:45 O'Clock.
Scores of letters and telegrams
many of them containing threats and
some asserting the writer's possessed
information that would favor Becker,
were received today by Justice Ford
telegram signed Jack McAuliffe,"
from Bangor, Me-. said:
Have heart In the Becker case"
Locked in his chambers the justice
worked far into the night on the case
and he was at jt again early today.
The situation is unique. For the first
time in the history of New York
criminal annals a prisoner doomed to
die must apply for clemency to the
man whose efforts convicted him
Governor Whitman. as district attor-
ney. having prosecuted Becker. Never
before has man been convicted
twice and the death sentence passed
on him each time.
Justice Ford may refuse to grant
Becker q new trial, but decide to hear
witnesses, including Becker himself.
That. his friends admitted today,
would please the doomed man i'm
mensely. as he wants to tell his story
In open court.
when asked IL he was prepared to
announce his decision at midnight,
Justice Ford shook his head and re-
piled in the negative.
mo. [ have not decided. My mind
is still open. | am still at work
studying up the law. I certainly cam
not announce my decision tonight"
Justice FOfd llSleneu 10 report ts tndt
he will either hear witnesses in
Becker's application or grant him a
third trial, but declined to make any
comment
ALBANY, N. Y. July 2s.-Gover-
nor whitman was not at the capitol
today and It was explained by Secre-
tary Orr that he was resting at the
executive mansion. The current be-
lief is. however. that he has retired
to the executive mansion largely to
consider the Becker case and to re-
ceive communications regarding It,
II is not improbable that Justice
Ford will ask for a further reprieve
for Becker In order to give the court
more time TO consider arguments for
a new trial. Such request, 1t is
generally believed. would be readily
granted by the governor.

the Narew, holding up the German

southward through Serock.

but the Russians have been unabis

the German offensive.
South of Warsaw the Germans. who
reached the Nistula east of Gorakal-

the capital, and are attacking the
Russian lines on thirty-mile front
extending from near Blonie through
Nadarzin and Plaseczno to the vis-
tula.
At no point on this thirty-mile
front are the Germans more than SIX
teen miles from Warsaw.
General Mackensen, according 10
