ARL BECKER and James Cregan, who were convicted of being concerned in the bank affair, have been sentenced to Imprisonment for life by Judge Wallace of San Francisco: The aliases of Becker were "Blosh," Bader, and the Dutchman. He lived in East New York. Cregan was known sometimes as Joe Howard, and both were arrested in N.

on 13. The crime for which the men are about to commence their life Imprisonment was forgery committed Dec. 18, 1895, on the Nevada bank. The amount secured by the three men (for Franklin Seaver, alias A. H.

Dean, was associated with them), was and this one-fifteenth of the amount the gang has made In this country and Europe in three years. Forgery was always- the method.

Charley Becker first came Into notoriety as an expert forger on account, of his knowledge of engraving and which trade he learned when a young man. The first known of Becker in the forgery line In the East was about 1870, when he connected with George Engel, alias "Dutch George;" George Wade Wilkes, Ed Hall, alias "Pins;" Walter Pattereon, and old Ira Garsides. About the time Inspector Byrnes was promoted from captain to inspector of detectives one of the first arrests he made was that of Charley Becker and ills father-in-law, Clement Hearing, for forging scrip of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company.
