Several other liquor cases are scheduled for trial and sentences will not be passed until all have been heard. Several prominent business men are among those convicted. By Associated Press. Albany, N. Y Teb. 4, A new trial was granted Charles Becker, the for mer .Ne York police lieutenant, un der death sentence for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, by tbc r-ouri ,.t appeai?- The court stood G to i. JusLice Wer ner riling the only dissenting opinion. The convictions of the tour gunmen who appealed with Becker were uuau imoubh afiirnsed. The crime for which. Becker and the four gunmen received sentences oi deaf- stirred every 'stratum of New York society. Herman Rosenthal, a gambler, was shot down early on the morning- of July BJ, 1011', in "front of the Hotel Metropole in the bean, or the tenderloin, lie was sitting in the hotel cafe " hen a man told hut ne was wanted oulsid'-. iff wtill.-pd to th door and fell dead before a. fusillade of -hols. The mpfi who killed him jumped into a waiting automobile ynj sped away. The jolice- failed to trace the car until Hie clerk of the Elks' Club nearby lold Ihciu its number. The car was found, its owner and its chauffeur were arrested and other ar re i. followed rapidly. i i:.c convictions oi Becker auu (he guumeu were chiefly based on the tes timony of Jack Rose, a gambler, ' Bridge? "' Webber. Rose's partner and Harry Vallon, one of their agents. This trio turned states evidence and de clared they bad hired Hie four gun men to kill Rosenthal -at Becker's rc quest. Becker was a police lieutenant in charge of the " strong arm squad", whose duties wer.- to keen in subjec tion gangs of the city and' to regulate gambling places and house of ill fame. Rose. Webber and Vallon said that the police lieutenant made use ci his position to collect money from these houses as the price of letting them do business Rosenthal known of Becker, ;was about to turn over his evidence to the district attorney. The state's witnesses "nsisted' that Becker urged and threatened them .un til they agreed to do his bidding, Becker was arrested July 29. 1912, but nearly two months elapsed before the police found" the"' gunmen r The reversal was based entirely on errors held to ha e ben committed b Justice Goff during the trial. The ques tion of the evidence against Becker en tered in no. way into the opinion though it was discussed. Judge Werner held that the convic tion should be affirmed because the main facts tended to prove Becker's guilt. He said that the fact that the main witnesses were gambleYs, crim inals, degenerates and murderers, should have nothing to do with the decision. He said there was nothing to authorize the court of appeals to invade the province of the jury, ' nor to decide in advance -what must be done upon another trial upon a similar state of facts," The judge discussed the case fully as to the facts and then the ruling of the trial justice. He declared that there was no error of law committed at the trial which would justify a reversal. FRANK'S ATTQRMEYS FILE PLEA FDR NEW TRIAL! Bi Associated Press. Atlanta. Ga..
