Three Years of u

OSSINING, N. Y, July 80. -
When the big steel lever in Sing
Sings death chamber crashed ON
the current which drove the life
from the body of Charles Becker,
the most bitterly contested fight
for life in the annals of this state
ended.
1t was just three years ago
that Becker was arrested and H.
dicted for aiding in the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, gambler
who had "squealed" to the dis
trict attorney, Charles Whitman,
that Becker was CRATER.
Two hard-fought trials. several
delays and stays of executions,
and final plea to Gov. Whitman,
who was raised to his position
because of his successful prosecu-
ton of the ex-police lieutenant,
by Mrs. Becker, were outstanding
features.
Gray Car Waiting.
Rosenthal's fateful statement
to the district attorney was to he
made formally after he had issued
several charges through the LEWIS
papers. But the night before
Rosenthal was to meet whitman,
he was summoned from the grill
of the Metropole hotel, where he
was dining, and as he stood
silhouetted against the brilliantly
lighted interior, four men stand
ing on the curb fired together,
and Rosenthal fell dead.
The men dashed across the
crowded street to powerful
gray car, which stood with motor
running. and made their escape.
But the number was caught, and
with the subsequent arrest of the
owners came the clues which
brought about the arrest of

O'Neal explained that the deal

the conditional contract as some
thing of a God-send.
