Future Conviction.
New York, Feb. 24.?'The convictio
of Charles Becke:. former police liei
tenant orf the murder of the gamble]
Herman Rosenthal, was anntiled tc
rinv- hv thf. r-nnrT of anneals at A!
fcany, the highest in the State. He i
entitled to a new trial, but it seeme
probably tonight that lie might g

v.ill have to die in the electric chaii
probably in March except in t'a<
event of executive clemency.
"The district attorney is the las
man in the world," said Mr. Wiiitma]
tonight, "who chould want a -convie
tion to stand which is not justifiable
by law. That is all the comment tha
J care to make."
His Hopes Small.
The district attorney had not re
ceived the full text of the opinion to
night, but it was learned that, form
ing his judgment on such of it a
was available, he had little hope o
presenting sufficient evidence to con
vict Becker ai a second trial. A
3tir. Whitman was said to have inter
preted the opinion, the testimony o
the three chief witnesses agaiiis
Becker?.John Rose, Bridge Webbe
and Harry Yallon?self confessed ac
ccmplices, had not been held by thi
court to be credible. Though it ii
known that the dis:rict attorney 'ha:
new evidence he could not bring forth
the testimony of these three?th<
gamblers who said they hired th<
gunmen to kill Rosenthal at Becker'
behest?was t::e foundation of th<
r.ase.
Sclsepps Also I'nder Ban.
Mr. Whitman also was under thi
impression tonight that in effect tin
court had held that Sam Schepps, wh<
corroborated the trio, also was ai
accomplice.
"If i'o men were in the conspiracy
to muraer, a lawyer ciose io me uis
trict atiorney said tonight, "and 1!
of tliem were turn State's evidence
against the 20:.i, the 20:h could no
be convicted u der this decision. I
would be futile to bring Becker t<
Trial again."'
The Suggestion made tonight tha
the four gunmen, now that their onl:
hope lies in executive clemency, migh
turn S:ate's evidence was not receive<
by the district atto' ney as one tha
field out hope of aiding a conviction
fie tncugnt tneir testimony wuuia n<
in the same category as that of Rose
"Webber a-d Vallon. It was the con
sensus of opinion among those in tin
tlislrier attorney's offic^ that if ac
tion is taken by Becker's counsel to
wards obtaining a dismissal of :h<
ease. Disrict Attorney AVhitmai
"vvruld not oppose it.

When Mrs. Becker was informet

immediately ieft her home and wen
to Shay's office. There l."> reporters
Becker's rwo brothers. Jackson Becke:

waiting for her. When Mrs. Becke:
opened the door and her eyes fel
upon S.:ay. she ran through two of
fleers to reach him. The woman threv
"her arms around Shay's neck an<
kissed him.
.Mrs. Becker's mother died yester
clay. She will be buried tomorrow
Despite this fact. Mrs. Becker's fac<
was wreathed in smiles. "1 am tli<
happiest woman :n the world,"' sh
said. "I don't believe my husbani
will ever be tried again and neitliei

Asked what she believed to hav<
been the cause of Becker's conviction
. she siad:
'There was a hue and cry to 'get
some one for the murder of Roseen

catrgiit in the net."
"While Charlie has been in th
death house/' she continued, ''11 me]
