Father’s son jailed for perjury amid counterfeiting case
Augustus Becker was sentenced by Judge J A Riner to one year and one day in the Rawlins state penitentiary and fined five dollars after pleading guilty to perjury. The case stems from accusations against Becker’s father Herman Becker for counterfeiting, with the principal witness being Becker’s son who later admitted being unduly influenced to misstate facts.
