Mole Hope I. lea la Oereraer.
NBW TORK. July .-The sole hope of
saving Charles Becker from dying In the
electric chair at Ring Ping prison to
morrow mernlng lies In Governor Whit
man. Counsel for the condemned man
announced today that they had aban
doned the Idea of appealing to Judge
Hogan of the court ot appeals at Syra
cuse for a stay of execution.
The attorneys added that the only
course remaining open for them to pur
sue was to appeal to the governor to re
prleve Becker until October, when the
court of appeals reconvenes. Rhould the
governor grant such a stay of execution,
counsel us Id they would enter an appeal
from the decision of Supreme Court
Justice Ford, who last olght declined to
grant a new trial on the ground of newly
discovered evidence.
Derision of J as t Ice Ford;.
Justice Ford announced his decision at
10 o'clock last night In his chamber where
he had labored for several days and
nights on the briefa submitted for and
agalnat tha application for a new trial.
He called the waiting newapaper men into
, hie chamfers and. as his secretary handed
them copies of his typewritten decision,
the Justice mid:
"I have denied the motion for a new
trial, end thla la my birthday. I'm 53
today. It'a a pretty tough way to spend
vour birthday. Isn't ItT"
"1 virtually arrived at my derision Tues
day night," said Justice Ford, ''but spent
many hour alnce then phrasing and ar
ranging the opinion."
Then the Justice chatted for several
mlnutea on the law Involved In the case
he had Just decided. . Mrs Becker was
said at thst very moment to be visiting
her doomed husband in Ring Sing.
Justice Ford's decision covered five full
pages of legal rap paper and contained
about 1.600 words. It goes Into tha de
tails of the affidavits filed by the at
torney for Becker and declares that the
evidence proffered "Is for the most part
cumulative and hence Insufficient."
Has Sack) Power.
Referrmg to tha plea of W. Bourke
Cock ran, chief counsel for Becker, that
the right to grsnt a new trial Is Inherent
in the court, the decision says: .
I cannot find anywhere In the au
thorities even a suggestion that this court
possesses any such (inherent) power. On
the contrary as has been pointed out.
the power Is granted by statute and must
be exercised iri strict compliance with it"
In conclusion the 'court says:
. "As I studied the authorities and ea
mined the affidavits, tha conviction baa
grown upon me that tt (a new trial)
could, not be granted without disregard
ing the law and attempting to usurp
the functions of another department of
government
"The motion therefor is dan led."
