=, year-old Raymond Beck. the
'angel-faced choirboy," was
the most promising OF all his com
panions in school, in Sunday school
and in the church. where his voice
rang out so beautifully clear every
Sunday
The "angel,faced" boy is now
eighteen years old. and is perhaps
the most dangerous. most persist
ent and most promising burglar OF
his age in New York.
In the seven years between little
Raymond's last appearance in the
robes OF the church choir and his
arrest in Brooklyn the other day
the "angclfaccd choirboy'' has
lived through an amazing career,
which includes over one hundred
burglaries. nine arrests, five con.
Victions for various crimes, two
terms in penal institutions and
three escapes from Jail. OF the past
four years he has spent three years
and three months in jail. two and
q half months as a fugitive from
Justice and six months at liberty.
Raymond Beck has been the
despair of the police. but at the
present moment they breathe 2
sigh Of relief because he is now
under indictment for such Il col.
lection OF crimes that the maximum
penalty for all of them would en-.

faced burglar to eighty-two years
in jail.
1t was in 1908, when little Raw.
mond was eleven years old, that his
friends In Public School 10 and in
the parish were astounded to learn
that the petted and promising
young choirboy had stolen a gold
watch from his teacher in public
school.
For that offense he was taken to
court and admitted his guilt. but
his youth his guileless appearance.
his irreproachablo record up to
that time and his fervent promises
never to edo it again" combined to
secure suspended sentence for
MIN. Raymond Beck was then
1afr-headed, blue-eyed. red-chcekcd
boy, as bright as a steel tran and
about as good, apparently, as BOYS
are made.
