Mrs. Hlldur C. Becker, Who West Hospital for Inxane to Prevent Publicity of Her Husband's Alleged Perfidy, Will Sue. After living two years at the Illinois Northern Hospital for the Insane, separated from her husband and children, Mrs. Hlldur C. Becker has been ,.u!iEofl mi narole and left yesterday to
go to the home of her brother In Min
nesota. Her attorney, O. C. Hoegsteai, said yesterday that she will soon file a petition for divorce, based on affidavits filed in Judge McEwen's court a month ago which charge the husband, Ernest Becker, with too intimate relations with Miss Gertrude Larson, his wife's Bister. These affidavits were filed in a senatlonal habeas corpus suit in July in an attempt to secure Mrs. Becker's release. At that time she went back to the asylum voluntarily in order that the evidence against her husband be not introduced and their home be thus broken up. Now she has given up all hope of reconciliation. Becker Is a foreman at the Illinois Steel company's plant in South Chicago and lives at 7502 Sangamon street. Last week Edward Larson came to Chicago from Minneapolis and began efforts to secure the release of his sister.
