pursed In a smile of happy self-gratl-flcatlon,
and with air of modest triumph
and with the aid of a ihalr, swung
a bare, pudgy leg over reporter's

his plump little back, shook his blond
curly lo.-ks sagely and began to talk.
"Bllgy days, son," he laughed, hap
pily borrowing the reporter's handker
chief to dry his perspiring forehead--you,

Justice Got! to Continue the Extra

Police Lieut. Charles Becker took, hb first step toward an appeal
from the verdict of guilty of muflfi'TTieiirsrTegreeTerriered against
him at midnight when he conferred with his counsel, Ms wife and V
brother, Lieut. John Becker, in the Tombs this af ternoon.
The convicted man was cool and confident during the brief talk St
had with his lawyers and his brother. Mis emotions overcame him wtatn
he greeted the game little woman who had stood by him with such amaz

minutes by themselves and the lawyers and the prison guard stepped to .
one side.
WIFE'S EMOTION AFFECTS BECKER.
Mrs. Becker was weeping convulsively and her emotion shook fiva
iron nerve of the condemned man until he could steady himself and strive
to console her. For her sake he cut the visit short and his brother led
her from the prison. She was heavily veiled and requested that no inter
viewers he allowed to talk to her.

Commissioner Waldo this afternoon dropped Becker from the police
rolls under the provisions of section No. MM of the City Charter.
While Becker has borne himself with stoical calm under the un
expected shock of the verdict, the tour gunmen indicted with him tor
the murder of Herman Rosenthal were thrown into a panic and are
to-day in a state of grovelling fear.
The desperate plight of these assassins for hire was borne home to
them when word came ihat the District-Attorney would under no circunv
stances accept a plea of guilty from any one of their number. Tbty
must be tried separately tor murder in the first decree in the same court

PREPARES FOR TRIAL OF GUNMEN.
District-Attorney Whitman announced his plans for the trial of the
gunmen immediately he arrived at hi-; otli.-e at 10 o'clock to-day. He
was pleased with the convi. ti m of Becker, but refrained from any
comment save the brief statement, "The verdict as in accordance with

stated that he would move the trial of one ot the lour on Nov. 7. He
