ALIVE INQVICK LIME Evidence of Shocking Crime Presented to the New York Grand Jury.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE NEW YORK, Dec. 1.- EviJncs Indicating that Mrs. Jane Eeeker was buried alive in :i makeshift, lime lined grave in a vacant lot after being clubbed into senselessness was submitted to the grand jury this afternoon by Dr.-Karl Kenr.ard, assistant medical examiner of Bronx county. The physician said a painstaking

examination disclosed that the mur-

der:r struck the woman, mother of four children, but once. The blow, he added, was not necessarily f.it.-.l. although sufficient to render her insensible. Dr. Kennard said the position of tha body when unearthed strongly supported his contention. The general arrangement of the limbs, he said, made It appear Mrs. Becker had been struggling violently when death and the heaps of earth stopped her. Today brought another startling discovery in this murder which fo far has involved five persons and revealed sharp cross currents of love. It -was that the Improvised sjrave in all probability had been

j lined with llmt sometime before the

body was brought to it. In preparation for the murder. The body had been covered with juick lime also after being placed in the pit. . District Attorney Glennon announced that he would demand th: r.fternoon that woman's husband, ficjused by another woman at the

father of her two year old daughter, be indicted on a first degree murder charge. Glennon expects to have called forty witnesses b?fore the jurors tonight. Perhaps the most pitiful figure in the case is Anna Ellas, who said Becker was her daughter's gather. A policeman found her walking the streets aimlessly last night after, the said, her landlord had turned her out of her room as a result of her story. She said that her sister mi her mother, too, had turned her out with a warning not to return, as the result of her admissions of her alleged relations with flecker.
