LAWYER CHARGES PERJURY
In NOTED BECKER CASE

Hartford T. Marshall, a pominen!
New York lawyer, who was counsel
for Bridge" Weber, one of the chief
witnesses against former Police Lieu
tenant Charles Becker, sentenced to
eloctrocution in the week ending July
70, at Sing Sing, declares that Webber
aum1tted to him he had committed
perjury in the testimony he gave
against the policeman. Mr.. Marshall
has kept silent for two years, but on
the eve of the execution of the police
man he has spoken, and he has thus
thrown a bomb that has startled all
those connected with the case. For
unlike many lawyers practising, in the
criminal courts of New York City, he
is a responsible and able attorney oil
fine standing.
Becker had absolutely nothing to
do with the murder of Rosenthal %
declared Mr.. Marshall. "Bridgie' Web
ber, when he employed me as his
counsel at the first trial, admitted this
to me and said that he and the others
were perjuring themselves in order to
save their skins.
when Weber told me that I told
him to get another lawyer.
81 think the case is a damned out
rage. Becker is an innocent man. I
never would have entered the case had
not known from what .Bridgie' Web
ber told me that Becker was deliber-
ately framed up by Webber, Harry
Vallon, Jack Rose and Sam Schepps -
HAS Weber consented to let you
reveal confidential communications be
tween counsel and client? Has he
agreed to waive his rights in that re
spect?" was asked of Mr.. Marshall.
81 am going to take chance on
that" replied Mr.. Marshall with rims
of determination in his voice.
"Have you communicated with Web
Der recently regarding the matter?"
"I have not. I have not seen him
since the first trial.
"Do you expect Webber to permit
you to disclose what he told you?"
| 81 do not know, but I expect him to
deny the story because of his immun-
ity agreement. I do not intend te
make public Webber's conversations
with me until have laid them before
