Though Governor Whitman repeated
Yesterday that he would give audience
n any orc associated with the case
Who wishes to appeal for executive
clemency for Charles Becker, the TACT
that the condemned mans attorney
Martin T. Manton, has little nope OF
succoss was indicated at the lawyers
Office bv the preparation for new legal
move. r:..J
The case will be taken to the united
c+ates Sunrcme Court, il is more than
iikelv. but not until Governor Whitman
hos rendered his decision, following the
nublic hearing to be given Mr.. Manton
and. probably, Mrs. Becker in Albany
next week. :. L;.L
In this connection n dispatch when
raacbed The Tribune from Danbury'
Conn. last night is interesting. Mr..
Nanton early Yesterday had SAID that IN
onnIvinq to the United States Supreme
Court for a writ Of error the posses
sion of what he called new informa-
tion" would be prominently mentioned
Rut he would not say what that new IN
formation was. The Danbury dispatch
seems TO cast some light on that.
Edward c. Ginty, formerly deputy
sheriff and once head of the Danoury
noIice force, said that last year ne ana
Tack Rose. one of the informers, had a
conversation, in which Rose said Becker
had not ordered Rosenthaps death:
:" have known Rose for eighteen
wears" Ginty said, ever since he was
associated with the Danbury state
League baseball team. Last year, whlie
Twas playing in vaudeville IN New orA'
I met him again. We talked OF the
Rocker case. and Rose said, IN erect,
that Becker desired to have Rosenthal
discredited. so that his charges against
Becker would not carry weight was
convinced by what Rose told me ina.
Jack believed Becker to be innocent OF
plotting Rosenthal's death
Ginty said there was mucn more 10
the conversation that referred 10
Rocker. but. he added, he would not dIS-
close il in its entirety except in an
oficial move TO save Becker's life.
Mr. Nanton did not see Governor
Whitman Yesterday, although 1t mad
beon stated that they were to meet 70
discuss the date next week when the
nlea for executive clemency is TO be
made TO the Governor. Mr.. whitman
said he had no engagement with MT
Manton. The lawyer said he Will TAX
with the Governor before the latter
leaves this citv. tomorrow evening
As The Tribune announced on
Wednesday, the Governor recogn yes
that it is his constitutional duty TO
| hear pleaders for Becker, though tne
| circumstances have made II plaln
enough for several weeks that so tar
as the State Executive is concern 8
Becker will go to the chair at the time
| set. g., i'll ,
It is with no confidence but with a
desperate energy that the hght, TOT
Becker is now being waged. Mr.; NJ n
ton and his legal associate, BourKe
/ Cochran, have been digging into the
case together and have been inter.
viewing persons who figured IN inc
trial. but whatever legal move IS to DC
taken will be taken with mainly the
purpose of showing that the doomed
mans legal defenders will not give up
so long as the law suggests step;
Mrs. Becker went to Sing Sing late
Yesterday afternoon and was in con,
versation with her husband for ABOUT
/ two hours.
