HARRIS HOPEFUL
He Il LBEFREED
At NEW TRIAL
Case of Mistaken Identity,
Says Convicted Slayer
of D. c. Gambler

Charles Harris, with the sen
tence of death upon him. believes
he will get another trial, and
eventually, liberty.
Convicted yesterday by a jury
in the District Supreme Court OF
the murder of Milton Henry, local
gambler, last April, Harris insists
it is a case of mistaken identity
interviewed today in his death cell,
he said:
"My trial was impartial and
fair.
"Justice Daniel w. O'DOnOu-
ghue who presided could not
have been fairer.
"The jury-well, / don't want
to say anything about that
for fear it might be misunder.
stood.
I'm TOUGH SPOT"
"At present, I'm in a tough
spOt-and all because of a
mistaken identity. / firmly
believed, up to the time that
the jury returned to the court
room, that I would be declared
innocent. had no fear Of
conviction, and have no fear
nOw-if the case is retired. /
waived extraditiOn because I
felt sure an innocent man
would not be found guilty"
It has been remarked that
Harris, when he addressed the
judge. at the close of the trial,
asking that he be not committed
to the death chamber until after
sentence is pronounced, spoke
flawleSs English.
Harris, whose right name he
says is Charles Bernstein, is a
likeable chap, and he has no
grudge whatever against society
many years of his life
have been spent behind barred
windows. He said:
"It's rather disagreeable to
suffer for the crime Of some
one else. 1t seems strange how
fate paws a man around. Even
though it has dealt unkindly
with me, have no fault to find.
Some day the scale will bal
ance."
Walks Like Cagney
"SOme of these aliases they
attribute to me are fiction. I
never heard of them. And they
refer to me as a PhiladeIphian.
I was born in the Bronx, New
York.
Harris walks like Cagney of the
Screen-his chin drawn in, his
chest stuck out, like a pouter
proud little man, not
much more than S feet 7 inches
in height, strong physically.
AS the interview ended Harris
wife came into the jail-a beauti-
full blonde woman, her eyes welled
with tears.

since Knox had bought the ma
