Pearls from _The Outlook_ for August 11, in regard to the Becker
trial:
What can we learn from this story of trust betrayed, of dishonor
in high places, and of a three years’ legal battle over a crime
which demanded immediate retribution? Certainly the law did not
come out unscathed from this controversy. It is a familiar story,
but it will bear repetition until it is remedied—we are very much
behind England in our administration of criminal law. The
efficiency of punishment as a deterrent to crime is largely based
upon the swiftness and sureness of justice rather than the
severity of the penalty inflicted. Becker is dead; but who can
deny that whatever social effect may result from his execution
would have been trebled had his death come within a reasonable
interval after the commission of his crime? The case is
significant, not because it is an exception, but because it is
typical of the process of American law.
