THE GHOST BREAKER"
 SCORES AT POLTS

The superstition of the Spanish peo- pie might be said to be the real basis of the unusual play, "The Ghost Breaker" in which the Poli Players are appearing this week. The castle of a Spanish princess Is supposed to be haunted by ghosts and the manner in which dashing young American braves the storm and settles the Ques- ton, after being warned that his life is in danger, furnishes the thread of the story. No play in which the Poli Players have appeared this season has been so replete with farcial thrills as "The Ghost Breaker" and the large audiences are daily manifesting their of the play. Dudley Ayres is appearing in the Warner role and is cementing his popularity with the Poli patrons. MT. Ayres is admirably equipped to present such part as that of the daring young American who fears no danger and who is will ing to go anywhere that he thinks the princess might want him to go. Poli patrons are agreed that Mr. Ayres is a capable, talented actor. Miss Skir- win, in the role of the Spanish prin- cess, is also we'll cast for it is one of those characters that fits the popular leading lady of the players excelientiy

grouped around him, put his right hand on the original copy of the opinion. which lay on the desk in front of which he was sitting and, turning his eyes upon it steadily, he said:
 "I have denied g. new trial"
 His face was not set in an expression, of unusual f1rmness, but his voice had that quality. He did not follow that statement up with another for about half a minute. Then he looked up and said:
 .:You'll find everything you want, I guess in my written opinion"
 "When did you reach 3 decision 2" he was asked.
 .'Last night he said, "so you can SC how utterly unfounded that AL bany report was"
 Decision on Birthday.
 Gradually he relaxed. He mentioned that yesterday was his birthday; that he was fifty-three years old. He had planned weeks ago, he said to spend his birthday with his family at his country home near Peekslill. A few minutes later he departed for his apartment.
 
 ed under the common law Justice Ford says in opening his opinion. The power to grant it was conferred by statute in the laws of 1859, Chap ter sS9. That power now exists by virtue of Sections 462-466 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The particular provision of the statute un- der which this motion may be enter tained is as follows
 Following the quotation of the sec- ton, the opinion continues:
 Thus it is seen that the granting of new trials in criminal cases is strictly limited by statute and it not at all based upon inherent right in the court as in civil cases. The req son fer this difference seems to be that in the fcrmer class of cases the pardoning power is the safeguard re- lied upon to prevent injustice, while in the latter the courts themselves are the only recourse for the injured liti- gant.''
 Becker's Affidavit Disregarded. . Then is quoted what a defendant must show to obtain a new trial. The opinion continues:
 Does the evidence set forth as newly discovered in the afzidavits pre- sented on behalf of the defendant meet these requirements of the statute and of the court Of appeals? That is the question. and the only question before me. -a,sg..-

REMINGTON co. TO REINSTATE STRIKERS
Everything Involved in Bridgeport
 Labor War Definitely Settled

Bridgeport, July 2s.-J. J. Keppler, vice president of the International as- sociation of Machinists, who will ar rive in this city today from New York, wired George c. Bowen, local buiness agent for the machinists late yesterday that everything pertaining to the strike at the local plants of the Remington Arms & Ammunition company and the Remington U. M. C. company plants, had been settled and that all the men who went out would be reinstated by the company.
 The number who were refused their old places back on Monday is placed at from 25 to 50 by the machinists, but manufacturers say the number is much smaller.

that what 1t tended to prove had never been mentioned upon the trial.
 Benham Case Different.
 Here the facts sought to be shown. for the most part, had been litigated and the proffered evidence is merely cumulative. The resemblance between the Benham motion and this is that the defendant there as here had knowledge of facts sought to be prov ed at time of final trial and was not permitted by his lawyers to testify concerning them. But it appears that there was a new evidence. aside from that of the defendants which warranted the granting of the motion.
 At page .4S7 the court says that in view of the other important evi- dence which has been discovered since the trial, this application should not be denied for the reason that tho testimony which the defendant can give was known to himself and his attorney at the time of the trial,
 That is true on this application also but the trouble is that there is not such important evidence aside from that proffered by the defendant personally, which would warrant the granting of the motion; and, as I have studied the authorities and examined the affidavits, the conviction has grown upon ne that it could not be granted without disregarding the law and attempting to usurp the func- tions of another department of gov ernment.
 .The motion is therefore denied"
 Justice Ford, answering the ques- tion of what effect the decision in the Benham case had on him, replied;
 .The Benham case contained some features similar to this, but in the main points is dissimilar."
 Ford Early To Work.
 Justice Ford reached his chambers on the thirteenth floor of the Emil grant Bank Building at g o'clock yesterday morning. He had left them for his home less than seven hours before.
 For an hour he turned his atten- tion again to the Becker case. Then, at 10 o'clock, he went to his court room, in Part I, Special Term, to dis pose of a number of motions. After that he went back to his chambers.
 Late yesterday afternoon, in re- sponse to a request made by the jus tice on Tuesday evening, District At torney Perkins sent to him forty eight-page brief on the case of R. c. Benham, of Batavia, case re- ferred to orally and in briefs when Justice Ford heard argument on the Becker motion on Monday.
 w. Bourke Cochran, of Becker's counsel; contends that the cases are analogous. Benham was convicted of murdering his wife. The Court of Appeals affirmed conviction. A motion for new trial was made be- fore Justice Hooker, in the Supreme Court, and he granted it on the ground that evidence Benham had concealed from his attorneys during the trial and when the appeal was made would probably have changed the verdict. Benham was acquitted on new trial in 1900.

BECKER DENIED NEW TRIAL;
 TO DIE IN CHAIR TOMORROW
Justice Ford Seals Fate of ExPolce Lieutenant Holds
 No New Evidence in Afidavits-No Ap- !, peal from Decision.

New York, July 29.-Cha-les Becker must go to the chair.
 At 10:15 o'clock last night Supreme Court Justice John Ford announced that he had denied BeclSer''s motion for new trial.
 There is no appeal from this de- c:sion. Governor Whitman holds Beckers life in his hands. but as MT. Whitman has repeatedly said he will not commute the condemned, mans sentence, the former police lieutenant will be executed at s5:45 o'clock to- lnorrow morning.
 No New Evidence.
 Justice Ford finds that Becker s statement and the affioavits submitted along with this to the court do not constitute new evidence, are without weight, and that, for the most part, this evidence is cumulative.
 Furthermore, Justice Ford holds, lie is without power to grant a new trial.
 to newspapernlen last night the justice said
 Power of Court Limited.
 ''The power of a court in 8 criminal case of this kind Is limited. When came to look Up the authorities I could not find that I possessed the power to order a new trial. suppose there are reasons of public policy why this should be so.
 We are all familiar with the de- lays in obtaining convictions. If trials could be granted on motions of this kind, supported by afadayits such as these, there never would be any executions. I suppose that is the reason that we are restricted in our. powers.
 This is very serious situation that presented by this case But I have hewed to the line, let the chips fall where they may. This, proceeding belonged before the governor, and that is where it should have been taken. -
 Finished Opinion at 1U O'Clock.
 By suggestion made earlier in the day by Justice Ford, the newspaper men gathered in the reception room of the chambers of the justices of the supreme court, on the thirteenth floor Cf the Emigrant Bank building, 51s Chambers street, at 10 o'clock last right. Michael Ford. brother of the justice and his secretary, came out and said:
 His Honor is just finishing the dic- tating of his opinion"
 TItchael Ford giving no Intimation O. what the decision was, left the circle of waiting reporters and re- turned to his office. Ten or so minutes Inter he reappeared.
