Attorney Charles J. Schnabel, of this
city, is working hard 10 his efforts to
free William Beckmann, an elderly man
who was arreeeted I ere last July under
peculiarly distressing circumstances.
He is charged with the murder of hi
stepson, 11 years sgo. Bex k man is now
the Roeeburg jail, snd a strong peti
ion is now being signed by the princi
pal taxpayers of Douglas county pray
ing that .he District Attorney snd Cir
cuit Court there do not place Beckmann
on trial. Beckmann was indicted in
Iftm for killing his wife and stepson.
Robert Ring, almost simultaneously.
He was tried on tbe charge of killing
his wife; wss convicted of murder in
the second deeree and sentenced to im
prisonment for life. Io lt02, owing to
extenuating circumstances, he wss
pardoned by Governor lieer.
Beckmann went at nee to his foimer
home in Wisconsin, later entering the
soldiers' home at Milwaukee, Wis.
Owing to his age, about years, he
was sdvised to leave that rigorous
climate and enter the soldiers home
at Los Angeles. It was when he was on
his wsy to the latter place, via Portland,
then e by steamer, that he was again
arrested, presumably upon the ground
that he had violated the terms of his
anion. That being without founda
tion, the old iudirtment brought in 11
years ago, charging him with murder
ing his step-son, was resurrected and he
is being held in that place for trial at the
October term of court. Emm evidence
brought out at his trial in 1S8, it was
shown thst his home life was far from
happy, that continual "nagging" by the
members of his family and otheia made
life a burden and that early one morn
ing after a particularly distressing sceue
the double murder was committed.
