Portrait of Murder Suspect Martha Beck
(Original Caption) Lovelorn Preying Couple Face New York Trial, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Mrs Martha Beck (left) and her partner in crime, Raymond Fernandez bear the same deadpan expressions they have maintained throughout questioning on the "lonely hearts' slayings of a suburban Grand Rapids widow and her daughter and the bludgeon-strangling murder of a New York widow. Mrs. Beck and Fernandez are to lose the sanctuary of Michigan where there is no capital punishment, to face death in New York in the electric chair. According to Nassau County district attorney Gehrig, he will start extradition proceedings to bring the couple to New York to stand trial for the slaying of Mrs. Janet Fay, Albany widow, in Valley Stream, L.I, on January 4.
