tation of the 25-year second de
gree murder of the man whose
friends labelled him as "the Pacif

a parole while the IWW'i convict
ed with him gained freedom by
that means, and labor and other
sympathetic groups; rallied to bis
cause. v . j"
He was one of seven men con

was held at Montesano. An eighth
was adjudged insane and later was
released. Becker has served It
years and three months in prison.
The Rev. Fred W. Shorter and

reported to have provided. Jobs for
some of Becker's paroled co-defendants.
Four World war veterans were
killed In the Centralia outbreak.

contention that the veterans were
lttemptlng to raid the IWW hall
after leaving the parade forma
tion, and the shootings were in
telf-defenSe.
Becker's age was listed as 27
