Mr. Manton was not at his office, but when his secretary reported to him at midday that no reply had come from Gov. Whitman to the tele- gram Mr. Manton sent yesterday, the lawyer released the statement, which he had prepared in advance. It le as follows: “The World yesterday morning, in a dispatch from Albany, attributes this statement to Gov, Whitman: "To Beckere denial that he had agreed to make revelations of graft- ing, the Governor said Martin T. Manton had given him a statement containing the names of five men, two dead and three living, who were implicated in the grafting” “Immediately on reading {t I in- quired by telegraph, addressed to the Governor, whether he had actually used this language, His failure to answer renders it necessary that I should state exactly what happened during the interview to which he refers, “I had sought the Governor for the purpose of asking him, in view of the fact that he was the Prosecutor who had brought about Becker's convic- tion, to take the advice of some eminent citizen eoncerning the action which should be taken by him as Gov- ernor with respect to enforcing tho sentence of death. Coupled with this I ed that Becker would answer any questions that might be pro- unded to him by such commis- sion: The Governor said: “‘Manton, you need not answer this unless you want to, but can Beoker give me anything on this municipal administration? “I said, ‘I do not Khow; you had better get that at first hand from Becker's lips.” “He then went on to mention four names, three of which he sald were of men not now important, but one was that of a person actually holding high office ins the city government. Con- cerning that one, he said, ‘Did he (mentioning his name) have anything to do with this?’ “I said, ‘I do not know, Becker had never told me; but he sald he will answer any questions that your cum- missioner will ask him.’ “He sald he would tuke ail this uu der advisement. This subject was no? referred to at the second interview when he simply announced his re- fusal to appoint a commissioner and at the same time grant Becker a re- prieve to afford an opportunity for asking for a writ of error from the Supreme Court to bring up for review the judgment against him “It would give neediess pain to tow persons mentioned to give t mes to which the Governor reterred.’ Mrs Charles Uecker was left alone | with her dead to-day arly in the morning she succumbed to exhaustion and slept several hours op a couch alongside the box in which tne tor (Continued on Second Page.) i { Letter Received Just Before Ceremony Causes Excite- ment Among the Guests.
