Becker himself said nothing He went through the usual routine ana took his exercise, attended services and went to his cell. His face was drawn, his lips a hit closer together, hut to those who watched him he gave no outward evidence of his thoughts. There were no visitors except news paper men. To these he refused to comment on the decision of Justice Goff or th approaching death of the four men who. Rose.

Becker’s counsel said that what happened to the gunmen could not possibly have any effect on the case of his client and hli plans for the second trial were so far along that he would have disregarded Saturday’s proceedings before Justice Goff If Becker hadn't Insisted that every bit of them should be gone over.

LIND BACK FROM HIS MISSION (Continued from page one.) It was understood Mr. Lind brought the President information that has not been communicated through press dis patches or official telegrams but that was said to he descriptive of general conditions and In no way affecting trie diplomatic status of affairs. Rigorous Censorship.

After Wild Shots,Clasp Hands Chicago.—A bloodless revolver duel, fought yesterday morning In a grove near Riverside Park, re-established friendship between the participants, two Chicago newspaper men, accord ing to stories told by their friends and seconds. Christian Botker, editor and pub lisher of the Revyen, a Danish-Nor wegian newspaper, and Edward Peter aon, local correapondent of the Chicago Poston, a Danish paper published in Minneapolis, were said to have been the principals. An article published In the Revyen attacking Peterson was said to have led to the trouble. Each duellist was given a revolver and placed with his back to the other when, with their seconds, they reached the duelling ground Easter morning. At a giver word each walked ten paces, wheeled and fired. Roth shots went wild, according to the witnesses. A second time the men stood back to hack, walked ten paces, turned and fired. A second time the shots went wild. The principals then were said to have clasped hands and to have re tired for refreshments. CONFESSION NOT MADE; FOUR GUNMEN DIED AT J)AWN Continued from page one. An anaemic moon still hung In the sky when those who were to witness the executions gathered in front of the prison. Faint lights glimmered at corridor ends of the buildings, but no sound came from within. The hideous noises which convicts have heen said to emit when one of their nhmber Is to die were spared those who waited. Dawn Was Breaking. Dawn was breaking over the hills when the witnesses were admitted to the hare courtyard of the death house. Many were ashen-faced ami trembling. From a printed list a clerk read off the names of those who were to see the first man die. A mo ment more and the door of the death chamber had closed behind them. Warden Clancy had announced that "Gyp the Blood" would die first, fol lowed by "Lefty "Dago Frank" and "Whitey Lewis.” But as It trans pired. the man who first came through the little Ison door at the right was "Dago Frank." He had shown signs of collapsing and It was deemed ex pedient to shield him from the ordeal of waiting. , Current Tested. State Electrician Davis carefully tested the electric current. "Two of these men have told me that they will make a statement,” an nounced Warden Clnncy, "hut under no circumstances must anyone ask them any questions.” The head and leg sponges were then wet and Head Keeper Mclnerney, act ing r a signal from the warden, went to tha death cell. There he found "Clrofici in prayer with Father Cashin. The condemned man clutched a cru cifix In each hand as he was led Into the presence of death. He had to b* supported by two keepers. In the cells could be heard the murmur ofo the other slayeors .'n their suppli cations. The warden and attendants stepped back from the rubber mat. “1 Meet My God.” “Oh. God, I meet my God," gasped the Italian. The state electrician turned the switch. Tlgo first contact was gradually re duce,., then a second shock was given. The prison physicians. Dr. Farr and Dr. Meremo, with several other wit nessing doctors, applied the stetho scope. “I pronounce this man dead,” whis pered Dr. Farr. It was 5:43 o'clock. The group of witnesses left the death chamber and the body of "Dago Frank" wns removed to the autopsy room. The doctors said Clroflei had made little resistance to the electric current, which registered 1,920 volts and be tween 9and 10 amperes. Of the four he died the easiest. He had Intended making a statement, but his mental processes had failed him. Filed In. A new lot of witnesses filed In. Then through the little door came "Whitey Lewis.” The statement that he never finished was on his lips as he entered. The attendants, fearing a shock spectacle of hysteria, sought to soothe him. A current of 1,920 volts with a slightly- higher amperage than had been used on Clroflei took his life. The switch was first closed-at 5:46:36 and he was pronounced dead at 5:52. At 5:56 "Gyp the Blood" was brought in. He had a Jewish prayer hook In his left hand and Rabbi Goldstiein walked by his side. "Listen, Israel. There Is only one God," mumbled "Gyp the Blood" in Hebrew. Two shocks were given and at 6:02 o’clock physi cians pronounced him dead. Laat of tha Four. "Lefty Louie," the last of the four to die, entered the chamber at 6:07. He handed his Jewish prayer book to Rabbi Kopfsteln before the 'guard strapped him in the chair. Like "Gyp," he mumbled a prayer In Hebrew. The theory that the strongest shall die last, "Lefty" bore out by his uncanny resistance to the current. The first contact was given nt 6:08. At 6:17 he was pronounced dead. The only relatives of the gunmen who were In the prison at the time of the execution were "Dago Frank's" mother, sister and brothers, and "Whitey Lewis' '• brothers. Mrs. Clro flcl was borne to her carriage In a col lapae an hour after the electrocution. Bodies Claimed. All the bodies of the gunmen will be claimed by relatives. Mrs. Clroflei remained with her son as late as 4 a. m. This is an unusual procedure. She had thought until the last moment that on her son's plea for mercy the governor would grant a reprieve. She believed in his inno cence to the end. She pleaded with Frank to confess, but he said he had told all he knew and that he had not been present when Herman Rosenthal was kilted.

They separated t« years ago and in January, 1913, Miss Held was granted a divorce here. street, Just off Broadway. Rosenthal had caused the gambling world of the metropolis to quake with terror by his conference with the Dis trict Attorney, Charles S. Whitman. His promised confessions were a sequel to a gambling war In which the other underworld Interests had tried to drive him from the fat field of the upper tenderloin. Bomb outrages, slayings and assaults had marked this con flict. Believing he was to be de serted by Charles Becker, police lieut enant In charge of a "strong arm squad” nnd a partner in the Rosen thal gambling house, the desperate man was now about to expose the whole illegal conspiracy of police and crime. Sitting in the Metropol*. The gambler was sitting in the Metropole about 2 o'clock in the morn ing of July 16, 19192. A man entered and asked him to come outside. Lurk ing in the shadows were "Rridgey" Weber, "Bald Jack” Rose and Harry Vallon. Nearby stood a motor car with engine running. The policemen sup posed to be on the station nearby had been lured away. In the glare of bright lights and within 100 feet of Times Square four men shot Rosenthal to death and leaped into the motor ear. A fifth man also entered, It Is said by some, and urged the driver onward by holding a revolver to his head and striking him. The ear disappeared in the di rection of Fifth avenue. But so sure were the murderers Charles Beckef would protect them, that they left the correct license number on the "murder car" and this was noted by a man who Jiappened to be a witness to ths shooting. In a Turmoil. The next day New York was in a turmoil. The district attoiViey and Becker were both on the scene long before daybreak. There were ugly rumors of police attempts to cover the murderers’ trail. It was recalled that Rosenthal was to tell a complete story to Mr. Whitman the very day of his death. The motive of the murder could not have been more clear. Not for several days were the names of the four put to death today men tioned. The "murder car” was found and the two owners, one of whom had driven that night, were arrested. A general alarm was sent out for "Jack'' Rose, who lay In hiding in a fine Riv erside apartment. On July 18 he strolled into police headquarters non chalantly and was locked up. On July 20 a newspaper published the names of “Lefty Louie” and "Whitey Lewis” as two of the four gunmen. Then Sam Paul, head of an organ ization of gamblers which had had an outing the Sunday previous to the murder; "Bridgey" Weber and “Jack Sullivan," who had been with Becker the night of the murder, were lock ed up. Sent to the Bronx. On July 22 Harry Vallon was taken into custody and Becker was trans ferred from his headquarters squad to Bronx desk duty. Only now w'ere “Gyp the Blood” and “Dago Frank" brought into the case as suspected principals. There began a country-wide search for the four gunmen and Sam Schepps. a hanger-on of the gamblers who had arranged the murder. "Dago Frank," stupid with opium, was found in Harlem on July 25, the day Alderman Curran demanded a spe cial police Investigation.

Becker was thrown Into the Tombs without bail. Th# Actual Murdare r s. Rose also named the four actual murderers of Rosenthal. They were members of “Big Jack" Zellg’s East Side gang, an organization which poli ticians had often found useful. Rose had hired them through Zelig. Rose told of telephoning Becker a few minutes after the murder and say ing: “Good, God, this is terrible.” "Don’t worry, I'll protect you," he de clared Becker replied easily. Rose also exposed New York's police graft, which he figured at $2,400,000 a year. He said Becker, a civilian In the police department and two inspectors handled this. “Whitey" I.ewis fled to the Catskills, where he was arrested on August 2. “Gyp" and “Lefty" were found hiding in Glendale. Queens Borough, hut they said they had gone about the city openly nany times. In the meantime Governor Dlx bftd appointed Justice Goff to try Beeker for murder. Sam Schepps had been caught at Hot Springs, Ark., and brought back to New York. On Octo ber 24 Becker was found guilty. Two weeks before "Big Jack" Zelig had heen murdered in a street ear. His death may have heen an outcome of the Rosenthal case. In Eleven Days. The four gunmen came to trial on November 8. They elected to be tried together. Eleven days later the Jury, after only a short deliberation, found them grilty. They were taken to Sing Sing and lodged in the death house, whither Barker had preceded them. All* five eases were carefully argued on ap peal. The highest eonrt in the stnte found that Beeker was entitled to a new trial, blit the four gunmen had been justly convicted. A few weeks later the four gunmen gave out a long appeal to the public. In which they said they couid not understand why the evidence that fail ed to convict Becker should have con victed them. Their wives and rela tives were pitiful figures in their pleadings to the public and to various officials. ‘COLD FEET’ FOR TOLLS ANTIS (Continued from page one.)
