Ell detenido vic pasar sobre 81 diez
%acusaciones y no obstante que su abo
gado insistio en- todos los tonos sobre
que Beck y Smith eran dos personajes
distintos, ell resultado fue desastroso.
En- efecto, toda la defensa result
taba inadmisible porque ell defensor
~sostuvo que los crimenes de 1877 y
los de 1895 que eran los que estaban
~ventilandose, habian sido obra del
mismo individuo, con 10 cual hizo in
admissible las pruebas de que Beck
habia estado en- ell Peru durante los
primeros fraudes.
Por otra parte, las diez acusadoras
unanimemente declararon que ell acu
sado era ell autor de los fraudes de
que habian sido victimas, y asi Sc
sentencio al pobre sujeto a siete amos
de trabajos forzados por las hazanas
que habia realizado ell elusive Mr..
Smith.
Sin embargo, cuando en- 1901 fue

Beck, victima de aquellos caprichos
del azar, considerandose con derecho
a una rehabilitation, Sc puso a mo-
yer cielo y TERRA en- busca de alguien
que lie ayudara, pero como general
mente ocurre en- esos casos cuando
una persona Sc encuentra sin dinero,
fueron vanos todos los esfuerzos rea-
lizados por la victima.
Els verdad que en- 1908 ell case de
Beck reapareci6 con cierta prominen-
cia en- los periodicos, como resulta-
do de una de esas agitaciones pasa-
jeras EN- favor de la justicia, pero
NADIA de provecho consiguio, y de
pronto, en- forma sdbita y dramatica,
ell desastre lie abati6 nuevamente.
Els verdad que va tenia noticia de
que algo grave lie iba a pasar, pues
en- los primeros dias de 1904 reci-

bio un anonimo en- que Sc le preve-
MIA que iban a repetirse los episo-
dios que va antes lie habian llevado
al preside.
En- abril del mismo m fue apre-
hendido nuevamente por Scotland
Yard, porque para entonces ell Lord
Wilton de 1877 y de 1895 Sc habia
puesto de nuevo en- campana, no
mediatamente cayera sobre Mr..
Beck.
Los agentes de la autoridad Sc ha-
bian estacionado, con la dana que
formula la acusaci6n, frente a las
habitaciones de Beck, y cuando este
salio, Embellishments lie reconcile y
Sc mantuvo despues inconmovible en-
aquella identification.
La sentencia fue aplazada hasta ell
siguiente periodic de sesiones del tri-
bunal, pero antes de que Sc la die
tara Lord Wilton, gracias a la Provi-
dencia, habia entrevistado a otra mu
jer y habia sido detenido cuando es-
taba vendiendo las pobres joyas de
su Ultima victima.
Pero aun asi, es probable que Beck
debio su salvation al inspector John
Kane, quien contra viento y mares
habia estado sosteniendo que Smith
y no Beck era ell v~erdadero criminal.
ell 10 de julio de 1904 Beck fue pues-
to en- libertad y antes de que termi-
nara ell mes Sc lie habia indultado
de los diversos crimenes de que evil
d~entemente era i%nocente.
A SUI debido tempo, Mr.. Smith fue
s~entenciado a cinco amos de trabajos
forzados y entonces fue cuando hizo
explosion la indignation del pueblo
ingles. Como resultado de esa con-
moci6n popular, ell Tesoro ofreci6 pa
gar a Beck dos mil libras esterlinas
La opinión., 1935-08-25

para consolarlo de sus penalidades
pasadas, pero sus amigos lie aconse-
jaron que rechazara tai ofrecimiento,
consiguiendose al fin que ell Minis
terio del Interior nombrara una CO.
mission que investigase todas las cir
cunstancias del case. La conclusion
a que llegaron los INVESTIGATORS fue
substancialmente como sigue:
No podfa encontrarse nj omission
nj negligencia de parte de los j%ueces,
de los acusadores o de la policfa en-
conexion con ell case. No habia ra-
zon tampoco para suponer que 81 la
causa hubiera sido Nevada a un tri-
bunal superior habria resultado de
clio alguna v~entaja para ell quejoso
de la injusticia cometida.
Pero aparte de ESQ, la comisi6n del
Ministerio del Interior Sc declare en-
teramente satisfecha acerca de la inc
cencia de Beck, y entonces ell Tesoro
Pdblico lie concedi6 la suma de cinco
mil Hbras esterlinas como compensa-
cion por habersele condenado a pre-
sidio a causa de identification erro-
nea.
