Prisoner Hears Verdict Without
Flinching hut His Wife Swoons
W Ib ii Sin* Hear* flu* l)*»-
iiision of the Jury.
New York, Oct. 2.1.—Police Lieu*.
Charles Becker was found guilty to-
night of murder in the first degree
by the jury which has been trying
him for instigating the death of
Hi email Rosenthal, the gambler.
The verdict was pronounced at 12:02
o'clock il|is mornisg.
The verdict read:
“Murder in the first degree." and
v as pronounced exactly at midnight.
Becker was remanded for sentence,
to the Tombs by Justice Colt until
Oct.
Mrs. Broker sitting outsidp the
door of the court room, fell in a
swoon when the verdict was an-
nounced.
Becker did not flinch when lie
hoard the verdict pronounced by
itlaroid B. Skinner, foreman of the
jury.
John !-. McIntyre, Becker's chief
counsel, tinnounoed that lie would
take an immediate appeal, but add-
ed beyond this lie had nothing to
say.
The twelve jurors with solemn
faces add measured steps filed into
the court room at II:.".2 o'clock. A
moment later the defendant was
brought in from the Tombs. Justice
Goff hail not yet entered the room,
and for a moment Becker look a
side seat.
As he waited, he scanned with
anxious eyes the faces of the jurors,
hut none of them returned tiis gaze
A tense silence prevailed.
At 1 I :7 o'clock Justice Goff en
tered the court room. and. bowing
low to the counsel, took his seat.
The jury roll was called. The clerk
then asked the jurors if they had
reached a verdict.
"We have.'' announced Foreman
Skinner.
Tlte jury rose to its feet.
"We find (lie defendant guilty as
charged In the Indictment." Mr.
Skinner said slowly Tud evenly,
looking squarely at Justic Golf.
"I)o you find the defendant guilty
of murder in the first decree as
charged in the indictment?" asked
the clerk.
“We do." the foreman replied..
Tlte court then directed that the
roll of the jurors he called for their
individual verdicts. • As lie repeated
the question. "Do you find tlte de-
fendant guilty of murder in (he:
first degree as charged?" each juror
answered, “I do."
Becker stood at the bar with
squared shoulders, head erect. Not
a muscle moved in itis face, hut he
swallowed hard. Thai was all.
When the last juror had answer-
ed Justice Goff Instructed the clerk
to take the defendant's pedigree.
Becker answed tlte questions in a
low. firm voice. A court officer
brought the i|uestions to him, writ-
ten on a slip of paper, and ns the
prisoner read them to himself he
replied:
'•Forty-two years old. American
citizen, horn in Germany, address
2220 Atidobon avenue: lieutenant
of police; married: Protestaat:
mother living: habits temperate;
never convicted before."
When Becker's voice had died
away Mr. McIntyre, who itad cov
ered his face with his hands as the
verdict was given, rose and asked
that all further proceedings he de-
terred for one week "until I can
prepare the proper motions for ap-
peal."
"I will defer sentence." announc-
ed Justice Goff, “until Oct. 20, and
remand the prisoner until that
date."

Washington. I). ('.. Oct. 22. The
United States battleship New York is
to he launched at Brooklyn
yard next week and President Taft,
Secretary of Hie Navy Meyer, Gov-
ernor Dix, Mayor Gavnor and many
.other notables are expected to lie
on iiand to watch the most powerful
vessel in the United States navy
take her first plunge into the water.
The New York and her sister ship,
llie Texas, are each 2,Odd Ions heav-
ier titan any other warship that has
ever been launched in litis country.
The NevK York is ti.172 tons heavier
titan the battleship Florida, the last
warship constructed at the Brooklyn
navy yard and which * was Hie big-
gest ship of its class afloat tit the
time of Iter completion only two
years ago.
The* battleship New York was au-
thorized by Congress in I did. At
first bids were asked for. but later
these were rejected and it was de-
cided to build Hie vessel Lit tlte gov-
ernment yard at Brooklyn.
The keel was laid on September
it. ltd I. and a board hoisted near
the site where the ship grew says:
"F. S New York. Battleship No.
2 I. length. 272 feet; breadth !)2
feet 2 2-X inches: displacement 27.-
oini tons; mean draught. 2X feet (1
inches." Since then the huge vessel
has grown steadily and when she
takes the* water she* will he nearly 70 j
per c ent completed. Early next fall
site is to lie completed and ready to
lake* her place* as one of the five
units in the first division of the* At-
lantic Fleet, of which she will prob-
able lie the flagship.
Not only in size lint in the calibre
of the guns at their main batteries
were the* New York and Texas de-
signed to lie the most formidable
battleships ever built, Fp to the
present time the 12-inch gnu. which
has not been usc-d on any of Hie
newer ships of the uavv. lias been
the limit in caliber of naval guns.
The New York and Texas, however,
will carry ten t 1-incn guns, mount-
ed two on a turret, and so arranged
that ai! of them cun he fired in a
broadside, or forward, of aft, at tiie
same time.
The arrangement of three turrets
aft and two forward of the bridge is
lie work of tiie Naval .-Construction
t'ovps of’ the Fnitecl .states- navy,.
real Britain lias followed this de-
sign in her new dreadnoughts, and
litis is considered out* of the highest
compliments over paid Vmerican de-
signers and constructors.
The New York's engine's will he of
X.Udu he rse* power. 2.otiu more
than those of tin* Florida. If tlte* ex-
pectations of Iter designers are ful-
filled she will lie able* to maintain
speed of 2 1 knots an hour or hel-
ler. The* engines are triple expan-
sion. four cylinder reciprocating en-
gines.
Tin* armor of the new battleship
will In* of sufficient thickness for
fense against torpedo boat attacks,
and there* will he strong bulkheads as
an additional protection against
mines and torpedo explosions.
Tin* New York and the* Texas will
he ol tin* same type as the dread-
iic'm* 111■ • Oklahoma and Nevada,
which have been authorized by con-
gress. Tin* Iwo-lasl-named, how-
ever, will ho about ten, feet longer
and of 200 tons greater displace-
ment than the* New York and the
Texas.
The launching of tin* big battle-
ship is an important event in itself,
hot in the case of the New York the
ceremony will he more notable he
cause the navy department will have
demonstrated that it Is fully equip-
ped anil competent enough to con-
struct lite largest battleships iu its
own shipyards without assistance
from private concerns. True, the
nrngress in the construction of the
New York has not been so rapid as
that cm Iter sister sitip Texas, now
ni‘iring completion at Newport
News, but tlte* fault lias not been
with the officials or workmen at the
Brooklyn navy yard. After the keel
of the New York was laid down the
work on the ship was stopped for
a while by Secretary. Meyer untll'lt,
could he surely ascertained that Ib-c
St;.ooo.nun provided by congiWtflf
would be sufficient to cover the ex-
