NEW YORK, July 3.-(Special)--
While the attorneys OF Charles

lieutenant. doomed to the electric
chair for procuring the murder OF
Gambler Herman Rosenthal. were
making a great show today OF pre-
pairing TO take his case before some
supreme court Justice, II Is known
their real hope Is that one or more
of the chief witnesses against the
prisoner will recant. Ever since
yesterday runners have been flying
thick and fast about Jack Rose,
Harry WALTON. Sam Schepps and
Bridge Weber. and II is said the
attorneys for Becker are trying to
find some loop-hole whereby some
or all Of these men can recant their
Testimony and still be safe.
At the time they originally turn

Weber were voluble yesterday In
their denial OF statements attributed

PARIS, July 3--Gen. Porfirio
Diaz, former president of Mexico,
died at o'clock Friday evening.
Gen. Diaz's wife, Sonora Carmen
Romero Rubio Diaz, and their son,
Porfirio Diaz, Jr., and the latter's
wife, were at the bedside when the
end came.
Gen. Diaz had been In failing
health since reaching Europe In
1911 after his resignation from the
presidency of Mexico, following the
successful Madero revolution. Last
fall he was Ill at Biarritz, France,
but was reported to have recovered.
He had consistently declined to
comment on the passing phases OF
the Mexican situation.
Gen. Diax began to fail rapidly
about three weeks ago and while his
death was not unexpected. owing to
his advanced age and recent falling
health. the crisis came suddenly
Friday afternoon.
Porfirio Diaz. Jr., and his wife
were hastily summoned and arrived
at the bedside only few moments
before the end. which came at Z
o'clock Friday night.
Col. Diaz. I'm announcing the death
OF his father. said that he was UNI
able to state the nature of the
mslady. but expressed the opinion
that complication OF diseases due
TO advanced age was the cause.
Two tragic circumstances marked
the death OF the exiled ruler. Owing
to the troubled state in Mexico. II
has been judged impossible to send
the body home with all that cere-
mony which would have befitted one
OF the greatest figures in Mexican
history. and further. Col. Porforio
