Becker's executioner said that in
his opinion the man had died instant-
ly at the first contact. .
An autopsy on the body of Becker”
was performed according to law im-
mediately after the execution. After
Becker‘s body had been removed from
the electric chair Samuel ’Haynes, a,
negro murderer, was brought into the
execution room and electrocut'ed. One
of Becker's last requests to Warden
Osborne was that'lle be put to death
before the negro Haynes.
A statement credited to Mrs. Beck-
er was given out' here shortly after
her husband’s ‘dsath. '
“i shall net's? rest," she was ducted
as sayingH‘until I have exposed the
methods ‘which were used to convict
my husband. Whether he was guilty
ctr innocent, there was no justification
for the means employed to convict
him. '
V“I would rather lose all the other
members of my family, as dear as
they are to me, than lose Charlie. No
’onelcan take his place. In all of the
ten years of our marribd life I never
had occasion once to regret that I was
his wife. ' _ _
“Charles was no angel. lie-made no
pretense ’ of ‘beingcne. He was just
an ordinary human «bioingl—and per-
haps that: is why T loved him so." \ , -
Dr. W. O. Stillman, of ‘Auburn,.who
