BEC KER GUILTY roBvieled for Second Time of Instituting Murder of Rosenthal?Appeal or Pardon Only Hope. New York, May 22.?Twelve men today decided for the second rime that Charles Becker was <rhe arch-conspirator responsible for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, which nearly two years ago awoke New York to a realization or corruption in the police department and opened a new era -cf police reform. Becker, once a police lieutenant. , was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Only a pardon /or interference again by the court of appeals can save him from following to the electric chair the four gunmen who shot Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, early on the morning of July lt>. 1912. The jury today decided that the gunmen were Becker's agents. The fifth ballot decided Beckers fate. It was taken almost immediately after the jurors returned from lunch MIMNAUGH': f ?
