Do Your By Mrs Bills Ends In Tragic Double Death
A married dancer Clemence Becker and her husband Ed Becker were found dead in their Brooklyn room after a confrontation that ended with both shot. Police say the couple, recently separated after wartime service, had moved in with Clemence’s mother and struggled with career choices and housing. Becker, a plumber by trade, feared other men’s attention on Clemence’s dancing. The deaths occurred after a final meeting with Clemence’s father and a brief hallway kiss that preceded the gunfire. Augusta Ferla, Becker’s sister, rushed to the door upon hearing the shots. The scene and background reflect a struggling postwar couple’s conflicts.
