Strange Death
On Saturday last, August Beck, a German, who along with Joseph Harrel and
Henry Becker, resided in a small frame tenement near Sq. Joseph Kaufman's
) died very suddenly and strangely. He complained of being unwell at noon,
and his companions left him about (?) o'clock, P.M., leaving him in bed and
fastening up the house; at 6 pm they returned and found him a corpse. No
attention whatever had been paid him, and these fellows left him to die alone,
without a friend to hear his last words. Such conduct on their part in
inexcusable.
