Story of RosenthaN Murder
and ConUiction of MurdererS

Ossining, N. Y, July 3O.-Charles
Becker's three.year fight for life,
which ended today when the big steel
lever in Sing Sings execution chamber
crashed on the current that drove the
life from his body, was the most bit
terly fought in New York court annals.
Twice had the convicted police lieu
tenant had his hopes raised only to see
them tumble about his ears. Since
June IS, this year, however, when the
court OF appeals that once had saved
him from the chair, refused to grant
motion to reargue the appeal, he had
been rather resigned to his fate, al.
though he profecsed hope to the end
1t was exactly three years ago last
Sunday that Gambler Herman Rosen
thai made the utterGnces that sealed his
fate--when he first publicly accused
Becker of being a CRATER. Rosen.hal,
in a published statement swore that
Becker was his partner in the Forty.
fifth street gambling house. The police
lieutenant, he said, had invested $500
with him. Ampification Of these
charges followed daily from then until
June a. when Rosenthal made an afti'
davit OF his charges, which was pub.
lished in New York newspapers. The
next day he agreed to 60 before the
grand Jury the following day and tell
what he knew Of New York 5 police
graft.
Story of Rosenthal Killing
Shortly after midnight of the 10th,
Rosenthal wGs eating a late supper in
the grill room Of the Hotel Metropole
