ROSE WOULD HELP BECKER IF HE COULD Denies Conviction of “Charlie” Was Result of Frameup New York, July 1.—“If a word from me would free Becker from the death house 1 would say that word gladly,” said Jack Rose, the bald ex-gambler and jinformer, as he sat last night in the home of Reginald Wright Kauffman, the playwright, ang denied with all the force of his unique personality that A Becker's conviction was the result of a “frameup.” “I testified at three trials and I told {he truth,” Rose said, leaning forward and emphasizing his words with levelled forefinger. “I told the truth and I say it again, Becker instigated the murder of Rosenthal I am sorry for him, sorry as I am for any man in the death house, and if I could help him I would. But what can I do? Becker’s persecutor, neither am I his liberator. I merely have told the truth.” Pours Forth Tale. Then the desire to answer all the at- tacks that have been made on him during the last stages of the fight to save Becker’s: life broke down the barrier of reserve that Rose has main- tained so long and he poured forth a tale that held the writer of fiction silent in admiration of its climaxes. Rose told of the weeks in which meéssenger ‘after messenger ' from Becker's friends came to him with fipfifi, to do something to aid the man he had help send to the chair, his emotions as he refused them because he felt he could do nothing without committing perjury, anu finally of last Sunday when Mrs. Becker went to him with a final message from ‘“Charlie,” a message which was never delivered. Talks About Meeting. ; Rose was moved tc reveal this be- cause of the publication in an evening paper yesterday of a story that he had et Mrs, Recker an dpromised to go to Governor Whitman in an attempt to get clemency for her husband. Rose characterized the story as preposterous the way it was printed, and then made I am not ‘his own explanation of the meeting with Mrs. Becker. I had not been in New York for 've weeks until last Saturday” he said, “having spent all my time in Med- ford, Mass., and Boston, working in connection with my moving picture | But all this time agents and messengers from the Becker .camp have come to me asking mé to help Becker. They never took the at- titude that he was not morally guilty, y out could be found for a | Jegal technicality. 20 think that I. might ‘M. ‘Would Help Becker. “It was not in my agreement with the ‘district attorney that I should have any connection with the case after ‘I finished testifymg, that T should help in carrying out the order of the court. Time heals all wounds and I would gladly help Becker, but I was forced to tell them that I could do nothing. “Then last Saturday I came here on business and I,was met that afternoon by another agent of Becker's. I.can- not tell who he wag except to the dis- trict attorney. I will tell him if he wishes to know. The next day, Sun- cay, Sam Schepps called me up at my hotel and asked me tc come over to hig jewelry store in Seventh avenue. I went over and there I found him talking with anotfir man, another one from the Becker camp. “I talked with them sb6me time, leaning on the counter, my back to the door ,and then I noticed that the men stopped talking and turned teward the door.” His Voice Breaks. Rose's voice, which is deep and rescnant, and which had been swing- ing alone in the cadences that makec him one to whom it is a pleasure to listen, broke and he gulped a mo. ment. “I turned around and there in the doorway saw Mrs. Becker,” he went on. “You can imagine how I felt, it was the first time I had seen her since the trial. I stood there facing her. unable to talk. I don’t know how long it was but it seemed ages. Fin- ally I spoke to hér and she came for- ward and began to cry. Refuses Mrs. Becker's Plea. “ ‘I wanted 'to see you,' she said, and she asked me to do something for Becker. I told her as I told all the others that I could do nothing. ‘But you know my husband is inno- cent,” she said. ‘If I believed that— you know how I testified three times— you know it would make me out to be a penjurer,’ I told her. “I have admired you for your loy- alty for your love for your husband,’ I said to her, ‘as every one has ad- mired and respected you. But this meeting was none of my choosing, and now you must stand for the conse- quences,’ 1 said. ‘You know that Becker is guilty as hell,” I added. “ ‘You must have a dictograph in here to talk like that,’ she said, and I told her that I didu’t have a dicto- graph, that I didn’t even know that I was coming there until Schepps called me, and that I had no idea of seeing her. After a while she said: ‘I want to talk to you, outside or up at my I can’t talk here.’ 1 asked her why, and she leaned forward and whispered, ‘I have a message from Charlie.” ” Silence Reigns Supreme. By this time Kauffman was leaning forward, forgetting to smoke, listen- ing with all his might Rose was "They seem perched mervously on the edge of his seat, his deep’ voice trembling and broken. He stopped under the atres-l THE LIBERTY BELL \Children of San Francisco Pleaded For Liberty Bell ar Big Exposition Cl [LDI?EN SIGNING BELL ¢ In the accompanying {llustration Is showp gchool children of San Fran- cisco §igning a petition for the Lib- erty bell.

Rose heard it too, and listened for a mo-} ment, then straightened up and went on: ‘““Gentlemen, I am human and there | are some situations that are almost | too much to bear.

Explains Telephone Cail. “But when Monday came I could not do it,”” he went on. “T waited all day trying to make up my mind to telephone, but couldn’t. Then the next day I asked Finch, my friend here, to call up the number and tell whoever answered it that the person who was to have called up the day be- fore would mot call up . and could not meet her. That was all there was ta the story that I called up Mrs. Becker and offered to go to Gov. Whitman. I would have given anything to have avoided the meeting. I could not help her. How the meeting was arranged I do not know yet. Schepps said he didh’t know anything about it. “As for the charge of ‘frame up, these people forget all that I did at first in trying to exculpate Becker. The day after the shooting Becker told me to go into hiding, and I did. T signed an affidavit saying that he had nothing to do with it. ~When I gave myself up I still denied that Becker was implicated. At the Dis- trict Attorney’s office I said the only statement I wanted to make was that I did not know Becker except as a man who raided my gambling house. “In the Tombs Plitt, Becker’'s mes- senger, kept coming to me, and I told him to tell Charlie not to worry. Il had been raised in an environment in which it was the law that ‘Thou shalt not squeal,’ and I intended to live up to it. Does all that look as if there had been a ‘frame up?’ Told The Truth. “I did not turn against Becker un- til T found that everybody was get- ting from under, that he felt safe behind that affidavit of mine, that T was being abandoned, and the instinct of self-preservation asserted itself. I went in with Webber when he de- cided to tell, and from that time on I told the truth.” ELECTRICIA STRIKE. Rochester, N.
