It le reported that she has only a very @hort time to live, possibly a few hours, and it te impossible to soften this tline @r to comfort her because she cannot ‘understand why her youngest son does Rot come to see her. She inoane and @alls for him constantly and it requires all the @iplomacy of her other children to quiet her at <imes. he does not know he is in prison or has ever been im trouble. Becker htmseit onty knows that bia mother is él] and does not know that her end ts eo near, Word of Mra. Becker's iliness came to the prison in the efforts of Becker's family to find some way by which he might see hig mother, #o that her life may be prolonged. The inquirers Rave been told that there is no euch way. ‘The code, while committing the con- damned man to the custody of the war- den, expressly stipulates that euch: ao Prisoner never be allowed to leave the prison. Only one exception has ever been made, and that was with Albert T. Patrick, who, as his own counsel, ap- peared before the courts in Brooklyn end Manhattan. ‘The situation is all the more trying te meinbere of the Beoker family, cording to reports received at Sing Decauge the mother does not know her son was ever arrested, ever tried er condemned. She has been bedridden for four years and that enabled her other children to keep the newspapers from her and to satisfy her longing to @ee her son with one excuse after an- @ther. She has been told he hag been away on police business, is in the West, fs in one place or another, and the mother has been content until now, Joseph A. Shay, counsel for Becker, objected to talking about the case to- Gay. He admitted that Mra, Becker te eeriousty ill. “But it io impossible for them to think of giving Becker an opportunity to see his mother and eo I have told them.
