BECKER TRIAL RECORD FILED
2,-KM) Printed Pages, Exposing Perjury
to Save Gunmen's laves
Xew York, Dec. 4.—William Pennv,
Uirk of the Criminal Branch of the
Supreme Court, forwarded to the Clerk
of the Court of Appeals in Albany yes
terday the printed record of the case
ot Charles Becker, to be used in the
second appeal of Becker from convic
tion for the murder of Herman Rosen
thai.
The record comprises four volumes of
600 pages each and has been in prep
aration six months. Its completion
opens the way for the argument of the
appeal, which probably will he made in
January. John B. Johnson, who, with
Martin T. Manton, is working on the
brief, announced yesterday that a copv
soon would be given to the District
Attorney.
Assistant District Attorney Taylor,
in charge of the Appeal Bureau, will'
have ten days to frame an answer.
When the argument is made District
Attorney Whitman, who prosecuted
Becker, will be Governor, and Justice
Sea-bury, before whom Becker was last
tried, will be an Associate Justice of
the Court of Appeals.
The record is remarkable in that
much of it is formed of newspaper clip
pings which were injected into a motion
for a change of venue. These tell of
the last efforts to save the four gun
men, who wore executed shortly before
Becker was tried. They describe the
manner in which the perjured testi
mony offered in the gunmen's behalf
was obtained.
An important point in the Becker
brief will be the exclusion of the jurv
during argument over the admissibility
of the evidence regarding the confes
sion "Dago Frank" was said to have
made before he died.
MANY OBSERVE PATRONS' DAY
Some Schools Recognize It as "Agri
cultural and Rural Life Day"
All of tho ■public schools in Dauphin
county, with the exception of those in
Harrisburg, Steelton ami Middletown,
observed today as Patrons' Day.
■Many of the schools in the rural dis
trict recognized it as "Agricultural and
Rural Life Day, this being suggested
by Professor Frank E. Shambaugh, su
perintendent of the schools of Dauphin
county. He also suggested that the
teachers arrange a display of the fruits
of the farm and stimulate a friendly
rivalry among the pupils in the matter
of making the best display. The su
perintendent adds:
"I hope you will realize the impor
tance in the work in which you aro
engaged. You will to a certain degree
direct the destiny of our country
through the bovs and girls—our future
citizens—whom you have in your
charge. It is yours to make or mar
the young lives entrusted to yon. A
love for your work, a broad sympathy
and a perfect understanding of child
life are all very essential if you hope
to be successful. It is a lamentable
fact that so many who are engaged in
teaching are merely time-servers and
are not in (he work from a sense of
service, but for the remuneration it
offers.''
