New York. July 24.—With the near
approach of the date fixed for the
I Becker execution, all New York is
1 awaiting with intense interest for any
I new development in the celebrated
hope of revenge,
Becker's first trial was set asido
and a new trial ordered by the higher
courts on February 24, X914. The
second trial began May 26 and like,
wise resulted in conviction and
sentence to death. On May 25 last,
the second conviction was upheld by
the court of appeals. On June 18 the
same tribunal denied the application
til-council for Becker, for a reargu.
ment of the case, and the condemned
man was resentenced to die on July
12. On July Governor Whitman
granted a reprieve until July 26.
In the meantime the -'gunman"
had been put to death in the elec-
tric chair, the date of their execu-
tion being April 13, 1914. The "in-
formers" Rose, Weber and Yatlon,
were given their freedom after lick,

By a peculiar coincidence, the week
in which the Becker case reached its
climax, makes the third anniversary
of the arrest of the police lieuttenant,
on charge of instigating the murder
of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal.
For this murder, four men already
have paid- the death penalty, while
a fifth is in the death house awaiting
the march to the electric chair. For
three years the successive trials, the
execution of the four gunmen, and the
persistent efforts to save the life of
Becker have drawn up to the surface
«^ut r;f the hidecjis muck of New
York's "underworld," such revelations
of crime, of graft and police protec-
tion. of the operations of the "gang-
sters"—as have fairly entitled the
Rosenthal murder to be termed "the
crime of the century."
The now famous case obtained its
first publicity on July 12, 1912, when
a morning newspaper published an
affidavit by Rosenthal, accusing Beck,
er, then a police lieutenant in charge
of the "strong.arn:" squad, with ac-
cepting protection money from gam-
blers. According to the statements
