Slayer of Baf
Sentenced to Die
Cohen To Be Electrocuted
in October; Graft Gets
2O-Year Term

Joseph Cohen, former policeman
known as the "King of the Chicken
Pullers" Of West Washington Market
was sentenced yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Tompkins to die in the
electric chair some time during the first
week of October. Cohen was convicted
on July II of instigating the murder
Of Barnet Baff, his business rival.
Cohen is a bigger man physically
than Charles Becker was and has
shown even more nerve in facing the
death sentence than Becker did. When
Justice Tompkins asked him whether
he had anything to say in his own
behalf, he replied:
al was born in America and [ have
always had the greatest respect for
the courts of my country, but | did
not believe that it was possible to find
twelve men in these United States who
would believe the word of degenerate
witnesses, gangsters, gunner and
thieves against the word of a reputa-
BILE citizen and business man. ! am IN
nocent, your honor, and | hope that
some time the opportunity will be given
me to prove it,"
Goes to Death House
With only a slight trace of pallor
that may have been due to his con-
fnement in the Tombs, Cohen listened
TO the sentence. Hat in hand, ne
turned TO shake hands with Frank Moss
and Harry Kopp, his lawyers, and then
he strobe out of the room between
Deputy Sheriffs Levy and Jacobs to be
taken TO the death house at Sing Sing.
Before sentence was pronounced Mr..
Moss moved that new trial be granted
for Cohen on the ground that Justice
Tompkins had accepted the verdict
against him when the jury came in for
instructions, and that the court accepted
| separate verdicts for Cohen and Abra-
ham Graf. Graf was tried jointly
with Cohen, and convicted OF man
| slaughter in the first degree. By per
| hitting the jury to retire and DELHI
crate on a verdict for q lesser degree
| in the case of Graft. Mr.. Moss con-
tended, the court had foreclosed any
chance for the jury TO bring in YER
dict in lesser degree in Cohen's case
Justice Tompkins denied the motion
| Mr.. Moss will appeal.
Graf Gets 2o-Year Term
Graft was sentenced yesterday by
Justice Tompkins to state prison for
, a term not less than ten and not more
( than twenty years. Justice Tompkins
| told him that the jury had been len
! lent with him, because they might
easily have found him guilty of murder
in the first degree.
At the conclusion of the sentences
: counsel for Giuseppe Arichiello. the
left-handed gunman who confessed and
was convicted of firing the shots that
killed Baff. submitted motion with
out argument for new trial. The mo-
| ton is based on new evidence fur
njshed in part by Antonio Cardinalei
| the procurer of the gunner and the
| principal witness against Cohen and
Graf. Cardinale swore at the trial OF
Cohen that Arichiello did not fire the
shot that killed Baff. He would not
tell. however, who did the shooting.
Deputy Attorney General OMalley,
who at the request of District Attor-
| new Swami has taken complete charge
of every phase of the Baff case, did
not oppose the motion for the new
trial. Justice Tompkins reserved de-
! cision.

One Will Be Taken

Plans for a permanent American baI-
LET after the style of the Russian I'm
nerial Ballet were discussed yesterday
at a meeting called at the Booth The
atre by a committee of the American

The initial step for the permanent
ballet will be taken By Adolph Bolm

Monday in New York, a percentage
from the proceeds of which goes TO the
ambulance fund. Mr.. Bolm admitted
that he hardly expects Congress to es-
tablish the ballet as a national instl-
tuition, as it is in Russia, but said that
the society will launch a pub bile cam
paign for funds in the near future.

LEARN IN HEAT OF BATTLE
College Course, Writer Holds, Does
Not Fully Fit Men for the Bur-
dens They Must Take Up.

The reason so many college boys fail
is that they are full Of theories; they
think they know it all. A college
course is a good thing, an excellent
thing, but it must be given to the
right kind of youth. Quite number
Of the highest positions are filed by
men who went through college, but
who had no false notions as to what
was required of them when they en-
tered business. No man is worth any,
thing until he has gone into the heat
Of battle and had his theories subor-
dinated to practice.
The son Of rich parents is handi-
capped in his youth. He gets no ex-
perience of doing things, and no oppor-
tunity to benefit from hard knocks such
as come the other fellows way.
When a boy comes to ask me to put
him through college, I tell him it
would be the worst thing that could
happen to him. say: "You would
not only have burden of debt on
your shoulders when you finished col
lege, but you would have the additional
burden Of getting experience-and it is
pretty hard to get experience and earn
money at the same time. You can
earn money only after you have had
experience -Theodore Vail in Amer.
