Becker Case - Watching bridge of Sighs (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Joe said:
Bearing only a slight resemblance to its Venetian namesake, New York City's Bridge of Sighs connected the Criminal Courts Building with the House of Detention (popularly known as The Tombs) across Franklin Street. New York City police Lieutenant Charles Becker, was the first American police officer ever executed for murder. The verdict of guilty in his first trial, in 1912, was overturned on appeal, but he was convicted again in a 1914 retrial, and was executed in 1915.
