Becker's path has not been strewn
with roses since no entered the Police
Department. He has trod upon unusually
sharp thorns, but In almost every In
stance his troubles were brought on by
his seal or lack Of judgment. He had
scarcely begun his career before
charges OF assault were made against
him.
His first serious case was when John
Fay. a plumbers helper. who lived a.
No. 1882 Third avenue. was shot dead
during a burglar chase. Becker testi-
fed at the inquest that he and PATROL
man Carey chased Fay through Thirty
seventh street and both fired shots at
him because he refused to halt when
ordered to do so. One of the policemen
hit him.
