He got nailed his 3rd term, they gave him life and that is he did, as he would die after being transferred to Folsom. He got ticked off with a man and a quarrel broke out over a broken flower plant ensued and he was stabbed by a man who was convicted of murder. Here's the newspaper clipping.

I tried to trace his family history and came up empty. There was a John E. Beebe who was adopted and married his adopted sister. But he died later. I also found a Harry Cady in Leavenworth Prison, possibly could be him.

What a life.
