Birth, education, and career
Born in 1907 in Richmond, Virginia, he attended public schools in Tennessee, Alabama, and Chicago. He attended the University of Chicago, earning his bachelor of philosophy in 1926 and continuing graduate work into 1928. From 1928 to 1930, he was a member of the staff of the Johns Hopkins University Institute of Law, returning to the University of Chicago as a research assistant and to write his thesis from 1930 to 1933. From 1933 to 1934, he was a member of the staff of the Brookings Institution. In the summer of 1934, he was a consultant in the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury Department; in the summer of 1936 and spring-summer 1939, he was again a consultant at the Treasury. From the autumn of 1934 until the spring of 1939, he taught economics at the University of Toronto, remaining a member of its staff on leave for several years thereafter (in his testimony, Coe says "4, 5, or 6 years"). Beginning in 1939, he worked adviser to Paul McNutt, then head of the Federal Security Agency, and in 1940 as assistant to Leon Henderson in the Office of Price Administration (then known as the National Defense Council).

Biography
Benjamin Franklin Coe was born in Missouri, and ventured to New Mexico Territory in 1871 with his cousin, George Coe, where they would work on the ranch of a cousin. For a time during this period, they lived near Raton, New Mexico. In July, 1876, Coe and Ab Saunders tracked down and killed outlaw Nicas Meras in the Baca Canyon, it is believed due to the latter rustling cattle. On July 18, 1876, Doc Scurlock, Charlie Bowdre, Frank and George Coe, and Ab Saunders broke into the weak Lincoln jail and freed horse thief Jesus Largo from Sheriff Saturnino Baco, then they took Largo outside of town and hung him.
When the Lincoln County War broke out, Coe joined the Alexander McSween Faction, following the murder of John Tunstall, facing off against Sheriff William J. Brady, and hired gunmen from the Jesse Evans Gang and the John Kinney Gang. He would be present in the Gunfight of Blazer's Mills in which Buckshot Roberts was killed by the Regulators, and had attempted to convince Roberts to surrender before the shooting started. His cousin George supposedly fired the fatal shot, although that has been disputed. Charlie Bowdre, John Middleton, Billy the Kid and Scurlock were wounded in that shootout, with the Regulators leader, Richard "Dick" Brewer being killed.
