I Efforts for New Trial.
The last avenue of hope for the four
gunmen was closed six days before
their execution, when Governor Glynn
refused to grant a stay, pending the
second trial of Lieutenlint Charles
Becker. who was convicted in the
Jower courts of having plotted the
murder of Herman Rosenthal to pre-
vent him from making graft revels
tions to District Attorney Whitman
i'l‘he Court of Appeals, in reversing the
decision for Becker, declared tself an
convinced that he had directed the
murder, but upheld the judgment ‘of
the lower court that the four gunmen
had been the instruments. Motions
for a new trial. on the ground of new
evidence, made by tlleir attorney, were
denied and they were sentenced to die
during the week beginning April 13.
Four days before their execution a
delegation of New York rabbis visited
Governor Glynn and pleaded in vein
with him to postpone the execution un-
til after the second trial of hacker.
The governor remained fixed in the
opinion that he had already expressed ,
that Becker's guilt or innocence could
in no way affect the guilt of the gun-
men who had been Judged guilty by
two courts. ‘

The crime for which the four gun-
men paid the death penalty started a
wave of police reform, from which the
ripples have not yet subsided.
Throughout the revelations made at
the time and subsequently. stalked
the vague. sinister monster known as
the "police system."
Rosenthai was shot down early on
the morning of July 16, 1912, in front.
of the Hotel Metropole in the heart or
the Tenderloin. 0n receiving an an-
nouncement from a man who came
into the hotel, he walked out and fell
dead before a fuslliade of bullets. Tho
murderers leaped into an automobile
and escaped. Weeks later after Beca-
er had been arrested the gunmen were
found in a list In Brooklyn.
Their conviction and Becker's were
based chiefly on the testimony of three
go-betwaens. who turnodstato’s evi—
dence. These mom—Jock Rose, Bria.
gay Webber and Harry Vallon—declar—
ed that they had hired thegunmen to
kill the gambler, Rosenthai, at Back-
er’s request.
Sam Scheppa. a little gambler, cor-
roborated their testimony, and was nut
adjudged an accomplice.
'Becker was a pollen lieutenant in
charge of the "strong arm sound,"
whose duties were to keep in spbleo-
tron the gangs of the city and to roam

Booker was arrested July so. 1912,
but nearly two months elapsed bolero
the apprehension of the gunman. Their
