New York, May 28.?Joseph A. J
Shay, counsel for Lieut. Charles
Becker, convicted police official, has
completed plans and arguments look
TgOT! nnrfl a ngw trial. These -he-jp
resent a today before Supreme Court
Justice .Gerard, who it la believed
will refer thfi case to Justice Goff
who presided at the trial of Becker
for inspiring the murder of Herman
Rosen7B$Hthe gambler. 1
An affidavit by Becker makes up a '
large part of the petition of 150 ^
pages. It states that public clamor,
newspaper headlines and the Curran ,
Aldermanic committee's investiga- |
tion-played a part in the conviction. I
Mayor Gaynor comes in for special '
mention tweansp of his statement before
the Curran committee to the
effect that Becker was the "bead and
froat" of police grafting.
The Mayor of the city of New ,
York, Becker says, referring to the ,
Mayor's testimony, "made a vicious
attack on me, and asserted that 1
was the bead and front of graft in
the Police Department." He adds
that the press made "glaring use" of
the Mayor's remarks.
The petition bases the motion for
a new trial on four grounds: That
new evidence haB been discovered;
that the Juryrneh were separated
without leave of the court; that the .
verdict was contrary to law, and that
the ends of Justice would be further*
ed by a new trial. All except the sec- 1
ond are customary and technical.
The second point prefers to Samuel
Mayor Gayno rcomes In for special
