That is the assertion of the former volice lieutenant’s wife. Mrs. Bédcker said it in a matter of fact way late yestérday afternoon in the office of Martin T. Manton, her. husband’s lawyer. It had just been decided that an application would be made this week for a federal writ of habeas corpus—the first stéep in Becker's last fight to escape the electric chair—and for the first time since his second con- viction Mrs. Becker talked freely to reporters. Has Nothing to Tell. In the first place, Mrs. Becker branded as absolutely untrue the pub- lished story that her husband would’ i become informer to save | Becker, she said, has nothing to tell. his life. Though bearing a. heavy load, realizing that the court of appeals decision last Tuesday was the hardest blow his case. has received, he is the same calm, re- served, self-possessed man that he al- ways was, his wife said. “I am going to carry the case as far as it can go,” Mrs. Becker continued. “I shall not leave a stone unturned to save my husband’s life, because he is innocent and there is ~nobody who knows that better than the governor himself.” “What about the story that would confess ” she was asked. Tells of Immunity Offers. Py “There is absolutely nothing to it. “We have not talked about it lately, bt we agreed on it from tne start. My husband could have obtained im- munity from prosecution on the very day the first trial began. In fact, he refused, two such offers. He was told that the murder indictment.would be dismissed if he would tetl what he was supposed to know about certain persons.” “Who made the offer?” “An emissary ffrom the district at- torney. The offer was made to him in the /Tombs—4directly, not through his lawyers. The same offer was repeated when the second ‘trial started. T am not quite sure whether it was the first day then; but it was early in the trial,” Supposed to Involve Police. “Was it police officials he was sup- posed to involve?” “Yes,” answered Mrs. Becker, “and other persons in the city. He was to {urn over.to the district attorney any- tody he' wanted—persons outside those directly interested in the trial.” (Stich as Rose, Webber, Vallon and Schepps, whose names were mentioned to Mrs. Becker.) “Did your husband refuse because he had nothing to tell, or because he did not want to?” “He refused because he had nothing to tell.” he Never Made Offer. “Did he at any time make an offer to confess to the district attorney?" “He told me he never did,” said Mrs., Becker, and addea significantly, “ ana he had told be everything. Yes, 1 believe he has confidea everything to me. Any action that has been mken in his behalf has been taken by me.” Mrs. Becker was asked about re- ports that others involved in the case bad gone to the district attorney’s office offering information in Becker’s behalf. - She said she did not know about that, but that if anybody had done so it was done without Becker’s knowledge - and authority., Mrs. Becker saw her husband, in the death house on Sunday, she said, and they talked mostly about what might be done in a legal fight for his life. This fight will begin in the federal courts this week. +Legal Move Announced. The legal move in Becker’s behalf was announced after a conference in Mr. Manton’s office, which was attend- ed by Mrs. Becker and Mr. Manton’s associate, John B. Johnson, who was {n Washington recently, presumably on ‘business connected with the case. Mr. Manton has made an exhaustive study of the recent decision of the court of appeals. The first step will be an application to a United States District Court Judge for a writ of habeas corpus. It will be ‘based on the ground that Becker's constitutional rights have been in- tringed. It will show, that Becker’s rase was prejudiced against him by stories published before and during his mecond trial. Stories Involved Brother. Some of these circulated stories in- volved Police Lieutenant John Beck- er, the condemned man’s brother, and some involved both. Another story on which it is believed argument for Becker will be based concerned a peti- tion which was circulated through the Tombs in May, 1914, while Becker was held there for ‘trial, Xath- erine B. Davis, Commissioner of Cor- rection conducted an investigation of the petition which was said to lead off with Becker’'s name and which asked her to rescind the rule forbidding in- mates from- getting food served to them from outside. It was charged at the time that Becker was respon- sible for the petition and that he was breeding a conspiracy in the Tombs against the administration. In the event that the - application for the habeas corpus writ is denied— as precedent would seem to indicate that it will be—the district court judge may grant the right of appeal from his denial, which privilege will the United States supreme court. - If the judge who hears the application for the ha- beas corpus writ denies the right of A cooling Shower Bath after a hot day of hard work will tone up your health and key up your spirits.

This is precisely the that was followed in the Frank case. The first application referred to does not act as a stay of execution, but a justice of the supreme court may or- der a stay. If the federal supreme court justice upholds the writ of er- ror the entire case may be reviewed by the whole supreme court. These steps will be taken before a decision is reached on a possible appeal to the governor for executive clemency. “Do you intend to appeal to the governor?”’ Mrs. Becker was asked after she had outlined her husband’s future fight for life. At first she said | “No.” Then she modified it by saying she would adopt every course that was open to her—not leave a stone un- turned, was the way she put it. Legal Prospects Not Bright. Mrs. Becker admitted that the legal prospects are not very bright. As for! Becker himself she said. . “He feels the same way as I do. Of course we both feel that it was a hard | blow——the decision of the court of| appeals—certainly the hardest blow in my life. Neither of us expected it. But it is not true that my husband is bit- ter or hysterical. He is not bitter at Mr. Manton because I, assigned the house (her own house) to Mr. Man- | ton as part payment of his fee. I wouldn’t do that unless I was broke, would I? And I wouldn't be teaching school either if I had any money.” There have been reports that per- sons who would be likely to be in- volvéd in any confession that Becker might make hard offered to help finance Becker's legal fight. “No one has put up a cent,” Mrs. Becker, me.” Mrs. Becker also said she did not know whether an application would be made for a new trial on the ground of newly disclosed evidence. She re- fused to say whether Mr. Manton has any affidavits that would help Becker, said “except my husband and | proceeding |* but she admitted she has not heard from any of the witnesses against him § or others involved in her husband’'s case.

DIARY OF FIGHTING Repeatedly Demanded Help to Hold Positions Near Lorette Paris, June 2, 11:50 A. M.—An ac- count of the fighting In the vicinity of Notre Dame De Lorette as written in his notebook by Captain Sievert, of the German army, is given out today in the recital of the “eye witness at the front.” The purpose is to serve ac a comparison with the French of- ficial statements concerning combats in this vicinity. The body of Captain | Sievert was one of 4,000 round on the slopes of Retta, His otebook covers the fighting from May 10, the day af- ter the French attack to May 20, the day the captain was killed. An order issued on the evening of May 9 provided for the holding of the positions on the plateau of Lorette end along the Ablain-Carency line. To carry out these instructions Captain Sievert was able to dispose of one bat- talion of only 272 men, or one-third of its normal fighting strength, befora going into battle. His notebook con- tains repeated demands for nelp. Needed Hand Grenades. “We absolutely need a supply of hand grenades,” is an entry in the diary under date of May 11. The number which Captain Sievertreceived was insufficient, and he could not carry out his attack. Furthermore, the lack of projectiles prevented all chance of success. Later there was more trouble for the captain. Orders badly given and confusion of sectors made necessary marches and counter marches under French artillery fire. “The way from Souchez to Ablain is impracticable,” the captailn wrote, “exposing us to incessant artillery fire. Ablain, like Souchez, is nothing but a heap of ruins. Our guide is unable to lead us further, and wet with sweat, we grope along. Our men decamp at each shell which falls, and it is nec- essary to threaten them with court- martial.” Wrote Situation Was Hopeless. / Reinfarcements failed to arrive, fur- ther difficulties arose, and Captain Sievert wrote that the situation was hopeless. The last page of his diary was written at 10 p. m., of May 20. In it the captain said: “The bom- bardment today completely destroyed what remained of ‘our trenches, The men have been withaut support for three days. It is impossible to hold this position with such a feeble force. I ask that an officer be sent here to report an the situation. 1 ask again that the Fourth Company of the 111th Regiment be placed at my disposition. .The artillery fire of the enemy is | frightful, especially that of the heavy We can hear the projectiles the air. Every man is watchful and tense, and he wonders where this par. ticular shell is going to fall. The parapet trembles, and a cloud of earth and pieces of shell rain down on us. How long must we remain in this rat trap? I believe now that my nerves are gone. The fire of the enemy has attained its greatest vio- lence. Indeecribable—"" Tragic Notes Ended, Here the tragic notes of Captain Sievert came to an end. This diary, says the eve witness, indicates the ‘‘gréat success of the French artillery and infantry, At the same time it shows the super- human efforts Germany is obliged to demand of its army, and this even before the participation of Italy which,. on a new front, will hereafter take part in the siege of German and Austrian fortresses.” PARIS BIRTHS LOWER.
