FIRST DEGREE
DECKER VERDICT
Jury Finds New York Policeman
Guilty of Murder
DELIBERATED NEARLY 8 HOURS
Three Mlnutea Before Midnight Ver
dict Is Rendered by Jury In Cele
brated Caae Appeal Will Be Taken.
"Guilty of murder In the first de
gree" was the verdict in the case of
former Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, charged with Instigating the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, a
gambler. In New York city.
The Jury had been out exactly seven
hours and fifty-seven minutes. The
length of Its deliberation and the fre
quency of Ita requests for exhibits, to
other with unmistakable signs of hot
arguments In the Jury room had led
mct of those who waited late at the
criminal court building to believe that
there would be no agreement.
So that when the blow Anally fell
upon the defendant its force was all
the more crushing. Even the district
attorney himself a few minutes before
midnight had said It looked like a dis
agreement. Becker's lawyers had
grown more confident as the hours
sped. Becker himself, chatting pleas
antly with his wife, the Plltt brothers
and a former reporter, Frederick S.
Hawley, who had testified In his be
half, was serenely confident that there
rould be no answer from the Jury room
rave "not guilty."
The convicted man bore up under
the shock with the grlmness that had
characterlred him all through the trial.
When the momentous announcement
came and the question of the clerk of
the court "Gentlemen have you agreed
upon a verdict!" the lieutenant turned
calmly toward Harold B. Skinner, the
foreman, and displayed no emotion
whatever as Mr. Skinner pronounced
a few snort woras mat spenea nis
fate. The only sign of agitation, the
only visible appearance of shock was
a grayness that spread over his dark
face and the narrowing of the fierce
eyes and a contraction of the muscles
of the throat.
Presently when he lifted his right
hand and gave oath to the facts of his
age there was not a quiver of the arm
or waver of a finger. His voice failed.
He could answer the formal questions
put to him only In husky tones barely
audible a few feet from where he
stood at the bar of the court.
No less remarkable was the forti
tude with which the wife of the con
victed man withstood the worst of
news. She nad come to wait in ine
chambers of Justice Goff. When th
verdict was delivered she was In sight
and hearing of the spokesman for the
Jury. She did not flinch, she uttered no
sound. Her right hand went swiftly
to her breast, paused there for a
moment and fell to her lap. But she
looked calmly at her husband as he
stood at the bar and even summoned
a smile for hi encouragement. It
was later thought that ahe succumbed
to the natural reaction. The bitterest
of disappointments broke down her
strength she fainted.
Justice Goff's charge was a shock
to the defense. In effect, It expressed
a doubt that Jack Rose could have In
vented such a story as he told against
Lieutenant Becker and that there was
no evidence to show that Sam Schepps
waa an accomplice.
Lieutenant Becker, under sentence
of death, will await in Sing Sing pris
on the decision of the court of ap
peals as to whether or not he la en
titled to a new trial. No action by
counsel can prevent sentence being
pronounced by Judge Goff next Wed
nesday but the appeal will act as a
stay of execution.
Becker's chief counsel, J. F. Mcln-
tyre, whose desperate fight to save a
lad case persevered until the words
were uttered that pronounced Beckr
the real murderer of Rosenthal, seems
confident that out of more than four
thousaad exceptions he had taken to
the rulings of Justice Goff sufficient
grounds would be found to Justify a
new trial. District Attorney Whitman
and Justice Goff feel that Becker had
a fair trial.

BULGARS HAVE
TURKSON RUN
Crushing Defeat of Moslems
Predicted From Vienna
ALLIES LOOK TOWARD CAPITAL
Demoralization of Sultan's Soldiers
Believed to Assure the Continued .
Success of the Allied Balkan Armies.
The correspondent of the Vienna
Reichspost telegraphing that paper
from before Adrlanople .tays there
are the most sanguine predictions
as to the Bulgarian udvan?e which
has Constantinople as Its objec
tive point. The present operations
aim at the complete Investment of the
Turkish forces along the .Maritza river
and the total destruction of those re
treating from Klrk-Killesseh across
the river. Every nerve Is beina
strained In the pursuit of the flee ng
Turks and the men are allowed only
the briefest spells for reBt, notwii It
standing the fighting they have taken
part in. Speed Is trumps and Turkey
must not be given time In which to
bring up reinforcements, make en
trenchments or take the army to Con.
stantlnople.
Every man in the Bulgarian army
Is convinced that the beaten Turks
will be annihilated. The moral con
sciousness of Bulgarians haa enorm
ously increased In the last few days
and they now believe themselves to
be unconquerable, as Indeed they are.
One wing of General Dimltriff's pur
suing army Is moving from Venldze te)
Baba Eskl ami Is already as far south
as Yanlkeul. The left wing, which Is
wheeling via Rnnar Hlssar and ZUa to.
Luleburgas, will be at Tchorlu tomor
row (Saturday) and It will then be on
the flank of the Turkish main body,
Some of the Turks retreating from
Kirk-Kllllsseh are still north of the
railway.
The Bulgarians Intend to cut off the
Turkish army entirely from Constan
tinople by an advance on the eant wing
and by a simultaneous attack from the
west and thus drive them toward the
sea and force them to capitulate.
A general attack la Imminent and a
cataclysmic defeat of the Turks is re
garded here as beyond all doubt. The
fall of Adrlanople Is also a question of
the shortest time. The Turkish re
treat from this place southeastward
along the Constantinople road has al
ready been cut off by the Bulgarians
who are advancing on Skenderkeul.
The operations against Adrlanople
and the field army, says this corre
spondent, who Is a well posted Aus
trian military officer, will be terniln
ated during the coming week. Tho
next objective is Constantinople.
Sofia, Oct. 2R. It Is reported that
Bulgarians have captured Bulla Eskl,
about twenty-five miles southeast of
Adrlanople. It has been understood
heretofore that In case of defeat at
Adrlanople the Turks planned to fall
back on Baba Eskl.
