BECKETT REALIZES
 HIS PREDICAMENT
Alleged Slayer of Taft Gave Vermont Prison Officials
 Much Trouble.

That Luman c. Beckett is depraved rather than insane, was the opinion voiced by Chief William J. Rawlings today following his return from Windsor, Vt, yesterday where, with Captain Robert Hurley of the state police the brough back the former local boy, who is alleged to have confessed to the murder of Charles Taft, the night owl'' jitney driver in this city on March l, 1917. Beckett was turned over to the Connecticut officials on completion of a two-year prison term for highway robbery.
 Chief Rawlings said that during his trip back to Connecticut Beckett had but little to say in regard to his confession. but his general demeanor was that of being thoroughly cogni- zant of his predicament.
 At the prison, the officers found Beckett rounding out the final days of his incarceration in solitary con- finement. Officials at the prison said that about a month ago Beckett violated some of the laws of the in stitution that caused his being placed in very close confinement. That the infraction followed some seIious break of prison rules can be detected in the fact that the prisoner was placed in a cage in the death house of the prison. behind doors heavily barred and locked. Beckett however in some manner managed to break two of the locks off the cage door. On getting out into the corridor. he called to one of the guards. re- quest that the door be opened so he could get a drink of water. The guard however sensed it was a ruse on part of Beckett to make a dash for freedom.
 For several months. Becketts be- havior has been anything but ex- emplary for a prisoner. Beckett was yesterday lodged in the Hartford county jail on Seyms street, Hart lord. It has not been definitely de- termined whether he will be ar rafgned at the December term of the superior court. or the case 20 over to the March term.
