PRIDE LED TO HIS FALL.
Bcckcrt stole Clothing to Appear
We'll 10 His Sweetheart.

Justice Walsh, in the Adams Street
Police Court, Brooklyn, to-day held
Edward II. Beckert, nineteen years old.
OF 9s Ryerson street. the head usher OF
Holy Trinity Church. In 1850 ball for at
tempting to swindle Smith. Gray & 60.
out Of $50 worth of wearing apparel.
At first II was decided to turn the
prisoner over TO Supt Byrnes. as the
goods were sent to the Marlborough
Hotel. and the arrest made there.
Justice Walsh was in a quandary. and
messages were transmitted to the Dis
attorneys Office until noon. before
the case was finally settled.
Beckert obtained clothing upon a
forged letter. purporting to come from
Edwin r. See, Secretary OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, in Brook
iyn. IL was supposed 70 be Tor a
S ee who , was Recker na'"ea James Nc
For this reason Justice Walsh thought
charge or forgery ought to be pre-
ferred against the prisoner. but as Mr..
grand larceny was pressed by Sales
man G!ngelle and Manager Henry
Randolph.
All efforts on the part Of the detec-
tives to make Beckett tell something
about himself. or what had prompted
him to attempt the crime proved fruit
less.
The detectives learned from his father,
however who was In court, that there
was a young woman in the case.
Mr.. Beckert refused TO give the young
woman's name. but said she lived on
Franklin avenue The young man was
very attentive to the girl. and 1t was
his anxiety to wear fine clothes in her
presence. II Is believed, which tempted
him to the act.
The young man. his father said. had
always been regular In his habits. He
had devoted his spending money to pur-
chasing trinkets and ice-cream for the
young woman II was his ambition to
wear patent leather shoes and carry n
silverhcadcl cane.
Beckert's parents are highly respect
ed by their nsighbors. His father Is
