With the shadow of death upon him
Charles Becker who will be electro
cuted tomorrow morning for the mur.
der of Herman Rosenthal, gave way to
a paroxySm of rage when he read a
dispatch of the death of his first wife
which cast reflections on him.
The Rev. Cashin, the chaplain at
Sing Sing was in the condemned
mans cell when the newspapers were
brought to his cell. When Becker's
eye fell on the paragraph from Albany
that the death of his first wife had
been attended by mysterious circum-
stances peaceful serenity went off his
face. With curses on his lips he rag
ed and stamped in his CELL The efforts
of the priest to quiet him were futile.
Shaking off the priests soothing
hand Becker said. Governor Whit
man was responsible for that. 1 am
on the threshold of my grave but he
is still trying to blacken me In the
minds of the people"
Resigned to his fate Becker spent
the greater part Of the morning in
prayer. Over and over again he knelt
and repeated the Acts Of Contrition.
the prayer for departing souls. and
the litanies. Sometimes he prayed
with Father Cashin, who rejoiced at
the sincerity of the penitent.
Priests Efforts Fail.
But the priests rejoicing was turned
to sorrow by Becker's outbreak and
1t was a long while before the scowl
left the prisoners face and he could
control his voice
The story which enraged Becker
stated that the doomed mans first
wife died in bath tub under suspic-
ious circumstances and that he had
neglected to provide for the support of
his child by his second wife, who di.
vorced him on statuatory grounds and
married his brother.
You surely wouldn't go to your
Maker with bitterness and rage in
your heart" said Father Cashin.
Becker unable to control himself
thrust the newspaper into the priests
hands.
Look at that" he fairly shrieked."
Look at that lie. They are trying
to damn me and blacken me when
am on the very threshold of my grave.
Could anything be more cruel"
Father Cashin whose wonderful in
fluence over Becker had transformed
the doomed man from a swashbuck-
ling blasphemer, profane fighter into
a meek Christian failed to curb the
anger of the prisoner
IF it's the last thing do on earth
l want to deny that lying statement"
declared Becker. Il was in no way
concerned with the death of my first
wife and did support my child"

PRETTY HOLLANDER
WEDS SWEETHEART
after he RECEIVERS

After John Sterling had been pro
nounced entirely recovered from pneu-
monia which confined him to Reid
hospital since the middle of June by
his physician. he and his little sweet
heart, who journeyed here from The
Hague, Holland, to attend his bedside
and who has waited patiently for his
recovery, were united In marriage
shortly before noon today.
After they were welded, they were
asked at the Arlington hotel where
they are staying. the name of the
minister who united them in marriage.
Neither was able to tell. They did not
know however that they had had a
church wedding" but could not say
where the church was situated or its
name.
Neither Mr.. Sterling nor his wife,
whose name was Anna Eimerins,
speaks English fluently. OF the two,
he is understood the better but his
conversation is broken and his ques-
TONERS were unable to CLEAN much in
formation concerning the tying Of the
nuptial knot. It was presumed that
after obtaining the license at the
county clerks office, they wandered
around the streets until they came to
a church which offered them their
opportunity
At the clerks office, Mrs. Sterling
gave her age as 80 years. Her father
is civil engineer in The Hague, Hol-
land. She was born in Gorkum, Hol.
land
The bridegroom left his native coun-
try to become an expert florist in Fal-
mouth, Indiana, promising to send for
his sweetheart later. He was taken
ill with pneumonia and sent to Reid
hospital where he was bedfast until
two days ago.a
With Miss Eimer1ns stating her resi-
dence as Richmond, it made her
eligible to the receipt of license not
withstanding that she has not lived
in this country.

Splinter Wound Causes Dan
gerous Condition of Eu-
gene Rush at Hospital for
Treatment.
ANTI TOXIN USED
Injury Caused When Wagon
Crushes Foot of Clifton
Norman Allows Disease
to Enter.

Richmond physicians are greatly in
terested in watching developments In
the grim fight now being waged to
save the lives of two children, each
one being victim Of tetanus, or "lock.
jaw" as it is commonly called. Teta-
nus cases have been rare in this local.
ity and until few years ago, until the
discovery OF tetanus serum. was re-
garded as absolutely fatal. Even now
the serum does not always effect q
cure.
One victim of the disease is Eugene
Rush, aged IL, son of farmer living
near Hollansburg, o. He is a patient
at Reid hospital, this city.
The other child who is suffering
with tetanus is Clifton Norman, aged
4, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Norman,
School and Harris streets. Fairview.
He is being cared for at his home. IS
In Critical Condition.
Yesterday attending tphysicians re-
ported that both Of the little sufferers
were in a critical condition and the
life of Eugene Rush was dispaired OF.
Today, however. an improvement In
the condition OF each child has been
noticed.
The two little boys have been suf-
fering excruciating agony for several
days and during spasms OF pain their
screams are terrifying. Each child is
acutely nervous and the slightest noise
startles them. sending them into par
oxysms of pain.
Young Rush, while walking bare
footed through the barn yard Of his
fathers farm, ran a splinter in his
foot. Although tetanus germs are
most common in such places nothing
was thought of the boys injury, but a
few days later he became critically Ill
and his jaws began to lock. He was
then hurriedly removed to Reid Hos
pital and tetanus anti-toxin was at
once administered to him. 1t is be-
lieved that satisfactory results from
this treatment are now being mani
tested.
Wagon Crushes Foot.
The little Norman boy one day last
week was playing in the street of his
home when a wheel of a gravel wagon
ran over the great toe of his right
foot, crushing it. In a few days teta-
nus developed. Shortly after. this
child's accident his younger brother,
Carl, was knocked down by an auto
mobile, but the machine passed over
the baby without a wheel touching
any part of his body. He was consid-
erably bruised but not badly injured.
The anti-toxin which has been ad-
ministered to Clifton Norman in he
roic quantities is apparently bringing
about satisfactory results although his
Jaws are still tightly locked. The two
young tetanus victims are receiving
only liquid nourishment, sucking it
through tubes.
The last case of tetanus in this To-
cality was two years ago, the anti
toxin effecting a cure.
