(Special of the Journal) NEW YORK, May 6. Three hun dred tabsmen were today drawn for the second trial of Ex-Lieutenant Beck er, charged with being implicated and instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Justice Seabury denied a motion of Becker's attorneys for a change of venue and the case will be carried along as rapidly as possible. Dresner Makes Statement Carl Dresner, the perjurer in the gunmen's appeal for a new trial, made a full statement today in which he charged he had been suborned and bribed to lie for the four murderers by Police Lieut. John Becker, brother of Charles, who is to be tried again tomorrow for the killing of Herman Rosenthal. Dresner declares he was informed by John Becker that if he could tell a story that would gain a new trial for the four gunmen it would leave the prosecution "without a leg to stand on in the Becker case," and that, as a result, Becker would never even be tried the second time. He says -he was induced to tell the story, made up by John Becker, by the latter's promise he would be "taken care of," which he understood to mean that Charles Becker after being freed, would set him up in the saloon busi ness. ' To thii cupidity there was ad ded the motive of fear, Dresner says, for he was given to understand that if he did not swear in court to the statements prepared for him he would be killed. Charges Put in Affidavit . ,! the hands "of the district attor ney there is an affidavit covering the pblhts touched on by Dresner in his tlak with the neswpaper men yester day. Although Mr. Whitman would say niothing concerning the matter, he regards as strong corroborative evidence, and that immediately after Charles Bekcer's case has been com pleted he will take steps to bring to punishment tho.e involved in the ex posure made by Dresner. At least one of the persons mentioned by Dresner as havine carried mes sages between himself and John Beck er has admitted to the District-Attorney the truth of the perjurer's con fession, and further support has been adduced from others implicated in the perjury. The prosecutor wishes to take no steps at, his time that might becloud the issue in the murder trial. Becker Given New Cell At his own request, Charles Becker, whose trial for the murder of Her man Rosenthal began today has been transferred from his cell on the first tier of the Tombs to the. fourth tier. The change was made because Becker feared some of the enemljs he made while a member of the Strong Arm Squad who are now in the Tombs might attempt to take his life. When Becker was brought back from Sing Sing he was placed next to a prisoner said to have been a "squealer" to the District-Attorney. This displeased the former lieutenant, who feared he wold be spied on. He was transferred to Cell No. 110, for merly occupied by W. J. Cummings, the banker now in Sing Sing. About ten days ago Becker was taking exercise in the corridor he was struck on the head with a hard-boiled egg thrown from above. He called a -keeper and an investigation was made, but without disclosing the culprit. ' The next" time that Deputy Com--' missioner . Lewis made an inspection of the Tombs Becker,- spoke . to ' him. The former lieutenant declared there ' were many men about" him-whom he had arrested. He said he was afraid to take exercise lest he be struck with ' one of the heaby Crockery cups'Used" by the prisoners. Mr.- Lewis ordered the transfer made. f Jl'Mr. 'and Mrs.DrrWV: Richardon '' Misses Fr& rinaBylh' Richardson - and Mrr hnftie,''Jonsonip)fs Dover . were 'visitersno' the city yesterday.' s '"A
