Osslning. N. X., Oct. 31 Convict
2,738, under which number Former
Xaeut. of Police Charles Becker is now
known in the old gray prison on the
bill south of this town,' awoke in his
cell in the death bouse, this morning,
after what the guards declare was a
night of perfect sleep. Today, he be
gins the routine that will be his un
til he is either granted a new trial
by the court of appeals or is . led
through -" the "little door" into the
square chamber adjacent, to be shock
ed to death. ,
The convicted murderer of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal was very confident
' that he would be granted a new trial
and he asserted to Principal Connaugh-
ton, who is in direct charge of the
.condemned prisoner, that he would
give - no trouble ' to ' anyone.
Although Becker donned the prison
uniform, today, it was stated that he
would be given his own blue serge and
bis underwear as soon as it has been
passed through the prison laundry and
been disinfected. Beyond the brief
period which he will be permitted air
j. in the corridor under the eye of a
guard, Becker must spend all of his
time in the 8 by -'10 cell assigned to
him. The lights never go out in the
death house. Zay and night they burn
in- front of thu cells where the con-
, detuned are held so that the. two keep

"GAI3GSTERS" HELD
FOR SUPERIOR COURT
Toughs Who Beat up- George
Naw Held in $300 Bonds
Victim Was Stabbed
; Share Dosbol and George - Lemak,
who murderously, attacked George
Naw, a Tesident of Carpathian street,
three weeks ago as he was returning
home in Spruce -street, after- a vain
attempted to prove an - alibi - before
Judge Wilder in city court this morn
ing were both held for the Superior
Court-under reduced bonds of $300.
Although it ia alleged by the prose
cution that another victim as well as
others who might furnish valuable in
formation have been coerced by
threats of violence to disappear "tem
porarily from the city, the evidence
of . Naw with that of Officers Oross
man and Beamer was such as to satis
fy the court that both accused were
implicated in the assault.
Naw testified that while walking
through Spruce street near1 Hancock
avenue he was followed by the pair
.. who after Insulting remarks beat him
upon the head with a black-jack.
Crossing to the other side of the
street he was followed by- Lemak who
stabbed him six times with a knife.
Several witnesses in behalf of the
defense testified that the prisoners
were - continuously in the saloon of
Mike Priski, on Spruce street during
the evening, but their evidence was
badly shattered by cross-examination
of Prosecutor DeLaney. '
At the conclusion of the trial both
prisoners were greeted by a number
of friends, among whom were' wit
nesses for the prosecution. The au
thorities assert that both men are the
leaders of a gang of touhs who have
long terrorized the neighborhood in
which they live and on several occas
ions have "rough housed" the Ricaz
si's dance hall on Bostwick avenue.
The leader has boasted he once "beat
i up" three policemen in Cleveland, O.,
and would do the same here if occas
ion presented itself.

Vienna, Oct.. 31. A three days bat

garians and' Turks, 40 miles south
east of Adrianople, has ended in the
overwhelming defeat of the Turks, if
messages from Sefia are true.
: Tliough'it was-thought they 'might
be somewhat exaggerated, the .Bul
garian reports were generally accept
ed here as substantially accurate. The
Turks made - some small successes
further east, near the Black Sea ooast
but' they were of trifling importance
compared with the demoralization of
the main Turkish army which has
opposed the Bulgarian advance to
ward Constantinople.
' Not ' only -were the Turks beaten,

a Good Time and Will
Get It -
Members of the famous, lively. Jolly
and original Third Ward organization
of Newark, N. J., came here today on
their annual outing to look over the
city, "meet the boys," and spread a
bit of the Newark spirit about. The
visitors arrived . shortly after 12
o'clock, 260 strong, headed by Mayor
Jacob Haussling and the Suenderhaft
band. They were greeted at the depot
by a reception committee and a squad
of police and escorted from there to
the city hall where they were re
ceived by Mayor Wilson. . Then the
march continued with the Stratfield
hotel as their destination. A dinner
was served at 1:30 o'clock and after
that sight-seeing trips about the tity
served to give the guests a good op
portunity to size, up Bridgeport, the
Industrial capitol of Connecticut.
Frederick C. Mullins, John H. Splt

received the visitors at the depot
when they lstepped from a specia

Mr. Schussler had charge of arrange

nothing undone to extend the hos

line was formed at the depot. Each
visitor carried a red and yellow color,
ed umbrella, wore badges from which
dangled small nutmegs, and radiated
the typical Newark good cheer. Big
chrysanthemums were worn in the
coat lapels and the visitors made a
fine appearance. Alderman Frank
Diener, president of the association
was presented with a bououet by Mr.
Mullins.. This he carried in the
parade.
Mayor Haussling of Newark an
Elmer A. Day, city treasurer, rode
from the depot in an automobile and
at the city hall Mayor Wilson joined
them. Mayor Haussling is one of the

ately af ter $he recent conversation held
with Mattio and Pizzichezni in a room
at the County Court house immediately
adjoining that in which the coroner
was questioning Bnonorao Wednesday
night, the state and city police be
came particularly active and- immedi
ately began- the search of various
houses in - Bridgeport known to foe oc
cupied by characters in touch with the
White Slave fraternity.
Among these were the apartments
formerly , occupied by Mattio on.-1 State
street and an apartment now occupied
by a Greek woman at 659 Main .St
corner of South avenue and. almost di
rectly opposite the address which per
sistently crops out in the investiga
tion, 105 South avenue. . There it Is
known three trunks were found, the
content of which are believed to be
long to the murdered girl,, and to have
been sent to Bridgeport from Chicago
but recently. e
It was at first denied by the police
that the trunks were in any way con
nected with the case, but it has sub
sequently been learned through private
sources, that not alone did they wish
to ascertain what is beneath their
covers, but that every effort has been
made to gain an entrance to the apart-'
ment where they are stored. It Is
stated that admittance to the room
wae refused the local officers, who were
sent to seise the trunks, and that when
the officers left to telephone their sup
erior, a lock was placed upon the out
side of the' door to bar entrance by
means' of keys. '
It was further learned that the wom
an who is reported as maintaining the
lodgings was. formerly located in an
other place in Bridgeport, but that
uporf the removal ef the ;principal to
Hartford she assumed control and has
since remained open. The quarters at
Aiai-and,footb avenue-are ever oc
cupies dining the tk xr early night.

private sleeping and meeting place for

reception or the evidence they expect
to unearth. . It te believed that in the
event of no one returning to open the
apartment today the State's Attorney
will be appealed to for a-searcn- war
rant of the premises. ,
a very, efficient one-and his popular
itv was attested to only, last nighi
