Becker Case Sparks Denials and New Trial Talk
Harry Appelbaum, once secretary to Big Tim Sullivan, says Becker had no motive to kill Rosenthal and that no proposal was made for Rosenthal to leave. Appelbaum corroborates Becker’s death house story and recalls meeting Becker. Denials came from several men named by Becker, while officials note Becker’s tale adds little new. An application for a new trial may be filed. Sing Sing prisoner Murphy’s letter is cited as alleged corroboration.
