You scoundrel! law.jrank.org/pages/2780/Charles-Becker-Trials-1912-14.html And there are plenty of photographs relating to his trial, conviction and punishment here: www.flickr.com/search/?q=Becker&w=8623220@N02

The guilty verdict in Becker's original trial was overturned by an appeals court in 1913, but a retrial found him guilty again. He was the only policeman in U. S. history to die in the electric chair.

The photo title is mislabeled. It is the Rev. Clarence Virgil Richeson. He was executed May 21, 1912, for poisoning Avis Linnell, a former fiancee who was pregnant, according to news accounts.

Thanks both captainslack and lmharnisch! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.
