When Becker was first confined in

Becker Is forty three years old. He
was born in New York city and received
a common school education there. He
adopted police career almost upon
attaining his majority. In 1893 he be-

one of the most remarkahle features
about the case is the great nerve

death This is especially true during
the weekly visits by his wife.
