WORDS AFFECT EXECUTIVE
Wire of Doomed Man Wins Mr.
Whitman's Admiration by Her
Composure, Shedding Only
Pew Tears During1 Meeting.
FOUGHKEEPSlE, N. T.. July 29.
In a dimly-lighted room of the Nelson
house here, Mrs. Charles Becker,
whose husband must die tomorrow
morning at Sing Sing for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, tonight pleaded
futilly with Governor Whitman to
commute her husband's sentence to life
imprisonment.
Weeping slightly, but maintaining
uch control taht the Governor later
remarked concerning her composure,
she based her appeal solely on her be
lief in her husband's innocence. There
was no offer either by her or John B.
Johnston, one of Becker's attorneys
who accompanied her, to expose any
thing in exchange for the convicted
man's life.
"God knows Charlie is no saint." she
said, "but he is not the foul murderer
he is branded."
Governor Visibly Affected.
The Governor was visibly affected,
tut he shook his head negatively.
"I cannot," he said, "but I want you
to feel free to tell me everything. If
there is anything that you know, that
you have not told, that you tpink would
help, your husband or that I should
know, you may tell it to me now with
the fullest assurance that It will be re.
garded as absolutely confidential."
"There is nothing to tell," Mrs.
Becker replied. "I only know he is
innocent."
The conference between Mrs. Becker
and the Governor lasted about 15 min
utes. Mr. Johnston and Major John
Stanley Moore, the Governor's mili
tary secretary, also were present.
Attorney Pleads, Too.
Prior to seeing Mrs. Becker, the
Governor conferred for more than an
hour with Mr. Johnston. The attor
ney appealed for a reprieve in order
that the case might be taken to the
Court of Appeals, and also asked the
Governor to permit Justices Edgar M.
Cullen and Charles Andrews to pass
on the appeal for a commutation or
reprieve as specially apointed com
missioners. The executive declined both re
quests. When asked to grant a. re-
' ' ' ' - ' - .lick . 1 L . W1UCU,Q U tZ
submitted, the Governor Bald there
was none.
The conference here was arranged
only after the telephone wires between
Albany and Camp Whitman, where
the Governor had gone to review the
New Tork State Militia, had been
kept busy for several hours in an at
tempt to locate him.
He left Albany about 10 o'clock this
Johnston arrived there shortly after
11:30. They remained at an Albany
hotel until about 4 o'clock this after
noon, when the Governor, who had
uu iuuiiu uy ins secretary, agreeu
to meet them here.
- Silence Maintained AH Day.
Nearly all day Mrs. Becker main
tained silence. Wearing a black taf
feta suit and a black hat trimmed with
white wings she sat quietly in the
corner of the hotel or in the trains,
gazing out the windows into space.
. Few recognized her and she recognized
no one.
A crowd as large as tfcat often seen
In front of the hotel on regatta days
had gathered about the Nelson House
when the Governor's car rolled up
about 5:30 o'clock. Ten minutes later
a car bearing Mrs. Becker and Mr.
-Johnson arrived.
.Airs. JBecKer, unsupported, stepped
briskly through the lobby to the ele-
.vator and ascended to the second floor,
where the Governor was waiting. For
more than an hour, while Mr. John
ston pleaded his points of law with the
Governor Mrs. Becker stat alone In a
darkened room. Meanwhile the halls
outside filled with newspaper men,
photographers and curiosity seekers.
Included among the latter was one
man who was quite certain that if he
could whisper one word in. the Gov
'ernor's ear Becker's life would be
caved. He was admitted to the Gov.
ernor's presence.
Friendly Advance Sporncd.
Two women who were about to have
tea walked into the door of the room
Mrs. Becker occupied and asked her if
' she would like a cup of tea.
"No, no," she murmured, under her
- lowered veil, "please leave me alone.
That is all I ask."
When the Governor had completed
his conference with Mr. Johnston, the
rnnrs of the room were nnpnpH nnri
the Governor walked over to Mrs.
Becker. She rose immediately and
began to talk to him.
Mrs. Becker's nerves appeared to be
under better control even than those
. of the Governors. His face was
flushed, his collar wilted and he stood
wearily clasping his hands when he
. saw several newspapermen soon after
he had left heq.
"t, suppose," he said, slowly, "that
. you want to ask me if I have seen
Mrs. Becker. I have and I have told
her that I cannot intervene."
Governor Sorely Tried.
Turning then to Mr. Johnston, the
Governor said:
"lou had better make a statement
now."
Mr. Johnston then explained the legal
, point of the case which he had raised
" and the Governor told on what ground
he had refused to consider them Just
cause fore his Interfering with th
execution.
As the Governor finished talking he
i inuvu ur iq a cnair ana sac aown
limply.
It has been a very trying experience
for me," he said. "I thought I had
gone through everything possible in the
District Attorney's office, but I know
now that such was not the case."
"Are you in favor of the pardoning
- power being placed with a commis
eion?" he was asked.
"No," he replied, quickly, straight
ening up, "I think the pardoning
power should lie with the Governor."
Trip to Sing Sine Begun.
Mr. oJhnston bade the Governor
good-bye and passed into the darkened
room in which Mrs. Becker still sat. A
moment later, the hall being cleared,
she slipped out a side stairway and
entered a waiting motor car to go to
Sing Sing for the last farewell with
her husband. Within "ten minutes the
Governor was on his way to Albany.
The Governor denied vigorously to-

" Becker's so-called press agent, that he
intended to pardon Becker if he be
came Governor.
"The statement," he said, "ia too ab

examination of the prisoner at noon.
They reported that his pulse was nor

on himself." said Dr. Farr. "When we
entered his cell be half smiled and
said. 'Well, I suppose you've come to
say good-bye.' "
Composure Declared Remarkable.
Becker tonight seemed coldly re
signed to his fate. The prison officials
reported that while he awaited the ar
rival of his wife somewhat impatiently
his composure was remarkable.
"He was seated in his cell smok
ing a cigar," said Leon C. Winstock.

Becker in the deathhouse at abouc 10

Becker was to be followed in the

The change came in the last hour of

NEW YORK. July 29. Herman Ro
senthal, the gambler, for whose mur
der Charles Becker was sentenced to
die in the electric chair, was shot to
death by hired gunmen in the early
morning of July 16, 1912, In front of
the Hotel Metropole on Forty-third
street a few steps from Broadway. "Iie
murder was the swift culmination of
sensational charges made a few days
before by Rosenthal against Becker. In
which Rosenthal asserted that Becker,
then head of the strong-arm squad of
detectives, freely sold police protec
tion and had accumulated thousands of
dollars of graft money.
Rosenthal went further than that.
He swore that Becker was his silent
partner in a gambling enterprise that
failed and that Becker, angered by
losaea where he expected large profits,
raided the Rosenthal establishment and
drove Rosenthal out of business by
stationing uniformed policemen on his
premises day and sight.
Murder Preveata Meeting.
These charges were published, and
District Attorney Whitman began an
Investigation of them. He summoned
Rosenthal to the Criminal Courts build
ing and listened to his story. Appoint
ment was made with Rosenthal for the
next day. Before the time came, Ro
senthal was murdered.
When the assassins had done their
work they ran across the street,
jumped Into a gray automobile which
was waiting at the curb, and whirled
away uptown. A bystander caught the
license number of th car.
District Attorney Whitman, notified
by telephone of th murder, reached the
police station, where Rosenthal's body
lay. before dawn. He aroused me de
tectives from their sleep and spread a
dragnet over the city for the murder
car. It was found before nlgnt. its
driver, Iewls Shapiro and Tunuis Ub
bey. part owners, were arretsed and
Mr. Whitman asserted openly in an
emphatic statement that the police had
abetted the murder.
Becker Openly Sopc-ted.
New York City, already Interested
in the charges of police corruption,
responded to the news of the murder
as if to a call to arms. Becker, wno
had been the chief target of Rosen
thal's accusations. was openly sus
pected. He was relieved of his com
mand of the strong Arm Jquaa and
transferred to the Bronx. Jack Iloje,
his graft collector, walked into the
Criminal Courts building the day after
the murder and surrendered to the Dis
trict Attorney, declaring that be had
nothing to fear. Harry Vallon and
Bridgte Webber, gamblers and friends
of Rose and Becker, were arrested as
witnesses. Tho grand Jury began its
Investigation.
Rose was in prison 12 days without
word from Becker, and, believing bis
chief had deserted him, confessed.
Vallon and Webber corroborated
Rose's story. He told of bis long as
sociation with Becker, of police corrup
tion which existed as Rosenthal had
charged, of thousands collected by
Becker for police protection, and finally
of his commission by Becker to ar
range to have Rosenthal killed by gun
men, a commission that he executed.
Grand Jury Called mt 'lht.
That nliht, July 29. 1912, District
Attorney Whitman summoned the grand
Jury by telephone and telegraph, laid
his evidence before it and within two
hours obtained the indictment of Becker
on a charge of murder.
Four East Side gangsters were In
dicted as the actual murderers. Kuse
had testified that these men were as
signed by "Big Jack Zeltg. a gang
leader who had been arrested by Beck
er's men on a trumped-up chartce. to do
the murder. They were to receive $1000
and Zcllg wa to be released. 7.elig'a
orders had been issued from the Tombs
to the gunmen.
These gunmen, known In the streets
of the East Side as "Uyp the Blood
Horowitz. "Lefty Louie'' Itorer.berl.
"Dago Frank" Ciroflcl and "Whitey
Lewis, were rounded up one by one.
The last two arrested. "Gyp the
Blood" and "Lefty Louie." were not
found until September, hiding in a
Brooklyn flat. With them were found
their young wives, who, to divert sus
picion, had dyed their hair black.
To give standing to the testimony
of Becker's three accomplices who had
turned informers (Rove. Webber and
Vallon), a corroborating witness who
was not implicated was reeded. Sam
Schepps. a dapper little gambler who
bad fled the city, was the man who
could do this. He was found at Hot
Springs. Ark., brought back to New
York and the people's case against
Charles Becker was complete. It went
to trial on October 7, 1S12.
Verdict of Guilty Result.
A verdict of guilty of first degree
murder wa returned at midnight Octo
ber 24, 1912. after the Jury had delib
erated 7 hours and 57 minute.
Becker was sentenced alx days later
to die in the electric chair during the
week of December 9, 1912. Within
less than a month the four gunmen
were placed on trial as the actual slay
ers, found guilty and sent to the death
house. More than a year later, on February
24, 1914. the Court of Appeals decided
that Becker should have a new trial.
The gunmen's conviction was upheld
and they paid the penalty with their
lives on April 14. 1914. One of the
number. "Dago Frank." confessed the
guilt of his three associate, but main
tained his own Innocence. His confes
sion, made on the eve of the execution,
became known the day they were put
to death.
Becker was brought back to the
Tombs. His second trial wa begun
May . 1914. and ended. May 22. with
a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced
to die during the week of July 6, 1914.
An appeal was filed but the convic
tion was upheld by tho higher court
In a decision handed down May 25 last,
and the date of the execution was set
for the week beginning July 12.
Becker Make Statement.
On July 20 a 15,n00-word statement
by Becker waa forwarded to the Gov
ernor. The statement was said to con
tain new facts, and made public men
tion for the first tlmo of the name of
the late Representative Timothy D. Sul
livan In connection with the rase. The
Governor declined to commute Becker's
sentence after reading the statement.
Becker's attorney thereupon appealed
tn Supreme Court Justice l'hllbin for a
third trial, and on July 23 the Justice
signed an order for District Attorney
Perkins to show cause why a new trial
should not be granted. The order waa
returnable before Supreme Court Jus
tice Ford on July 26. The Justlco re
served decision and devoted nearly all
of his time for the next two days tn
going over papers In the case. Shortly
after 10 o'clock on the night of July :S
Justice Ford announced he had denied
the application, and Becker's only hope
remained In poa&IMe executive clem
ency by Governor-Whitman.
Wife Loral Tbrooanout.
Throughout Becker's troubles his
wife remained loyal to him and was his
constant adviser. She labored appar
ently without tiring in his behalf, as
sisting his counsel in every way pos
sible. Mrs. Becker appeared to be crushed
when the Court of Appeals upheld his
second conviction, but soon turned her
energies toward the eleventh-hour
work to save him. It was largely at
her urging that ho Joined in the plan
to ask Governor Whitman, his prose
cutor, for clemency.
There waa one other woman who. If
reports are true, followed Becker's
career through the courts as closely aa
his own wife did.
This was Herman Rosenthal's widow.
Soon after Becker's second conviction
she disappeared. Not long ago she
was found, broken in health and spirit,
and living with an old-time friend.
"1 am living for only one thing," she
was quoted as saying, "to see the day
that Becker pays the penalty."
