Governor Whitman Maintains Becker Guilt Despite New Statement
Albany July 21 Governor Whitman said a study of former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker’s death sentence statement did not alter his view of Becker’s guilt in the Herman Rosenthal murder. He noted the only new element was an allegation that Alfred Henry Lewis urged framing, but questioned why Lewis was not called at trial. The governor said Becker’s remarks largely echoed Rose’s tale that Becker pressed Rose after the murder not to reveal what he knew. Bernard Sandler, Rose and Schepps’ attorney, said Rose would not waver from his testimony. Applebaum, Tim Sullivan’s former secretary, conferred with Whitman but added no new evidence.
