Allen—Hayes Wedding. A brilliant wedding of far-reaching interest took place in the chapel of Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va., Wednesday afternoon at 6 o'clock, Sept. 20, 1911, when Mrs. Mary Rice Hayes, of Lynchburg, became the bride of Lawor Wm. P. Allen, of Danville, Va. Rev. Dr. W. T. Hall, pastor of High-Street Baptist Church, Danville, Va., performed the coronary. It was balmy and the man's face was regilent with the fragrance from potted plplants, stately palms, azellas banked about a towering arch, entwined with Southern smilax and ivy. Promptly at . . . h. of clock the bridal party emerged from Mr. Warwick Spencer's and Mr. Jones' two handsome automobiles at the main entrance to the college building.

From the vicinity of Prentis and Leigh streets last Sunday night there came into the Second Police Station a report that a colored man had been nearly killed and would be dead by the time the police arrived. Sergeant Otter dispatched Bicycle Policeman Tiller to the scene, and within twenty-minutes he returned with the "dead" man. The latter presented a badly maudled appearance. First, according to his story and numerous women witnesses who followed him to the station to see that justice was done, he was knocked in the head with a fence palling. Then some one slammed a brick into his enput, and he dropped to his knees, with all the luminaries of heaven shining for the moment bright above him. Then for a few moments he went to sleep, his last conscious feeling being one of intense pain in all portions of his body. That was when several other negroes, all brothers in the Brook Avenue gang, proceeded to show their right to live and kill, and poured on him together and cut, slashed and mauled him nearly into eternal sleep. But several negro women saw the gang and set up a shriek and a howl. The assailants, brave men as they were, became alarmed at the female shrieks and the men. Then George slowly awoke to consciousness. There was a dull ache in his head, and no saw a red stream down his white shirt front. As he stagged to his feet front and beaked blindly around the women came to his rescue and supported him until the arrival of Officer Tiller. He was attended in the Second Station by Dr. Hutcher, of the city ambulance, and somesemblance to his former self was restored. He said that he did not know the names of his assailants. The first attack came from behind, and then he went to sleep. CORNER STREET THE VAN DE VYVER COLLEGE, N. 1st St., Between Duval and Jackson Sts. Richmond, Va. Opens Monday, October 2nd, 1911.

Dr Wm E Davidson superintendent of the Washington schools, in an address yesterday before several hundred teachers at the Central High School, stirred his hearers by praising former Superintendent of Schools Chancellor who, during his brief tenure of office as head of the Washington schools, was charged practically with disrupting the school system. Finally, condemned by the board of education he was ousted after one of the most bitter contests ever waged by Washington school authorities. He called Dr Chancellor a brilliant educator and a capable school director. Praise of Chancellor by Dr Davidson created a sensation and in view of the action of the board on Tuesday night in referring to him for adjudication the case of Rochelle Conkling. Bruce assisting superintendent of schools whom the colored numbers of the board are shaking to oust there is likely to develop a situation unattainable in the school system. COLORED MEMBERS ANGERED The colored members are angered because the board did not dismiss Bruce at the meeting Tuesday. They now insist that Dr Davidson dismiss the colored assistant. Should Dr Davidson in view of his praise of Dr Chancellor permit Bruce to remain in office in consequence of the demand for the latter's scalp, he will find himself in a delicate position. Should he dismiss Bruce, the white members of the board, it is asserted, will not accept the situation gracefully as many of them are of the opinion that Bruce is an able educator and should not be removed. The colored members of the board say they will accept no compromise. They declare that Dr Davidson's decision in the matter will be an indication of his future attitude on matters of vital importance to the colored part of the school system, and that should he slide with Bruce his action will be construed as unfriendly. HORNER MAKES STATEMENT It is a question of public duty," said Richard R Horner, who is leading the opposition to Bruce. "We are fighting in a just cause, and our fight will appeal to just people. How the white members of the board of education may act upon it I am unable to state. There is more behind the present case than appears on the surface. If Dr Davidson rules against the colored members in this matter we will regard his action as an open declaration of war against the interests of the colored" people of Washington. "The first big official action of a new superintendent is always significant and cannot help but strike a keynote which will be in accord with his future actions. We were ready and willing last night to allow Dr. Davidson please to answer his question in the Bruce. In the Bruce we believe that the deeper he delivers the more convinced he will become that Bruce is not fit to "fill the duties of assistant superintendent." "It has been intimated that Dr. Davidson will delay his report uncerer. Right here I want to say the tail the attair has had time to "blow colored members of the board, intend to wait a reasonable length of time for the report, and after that if it is not forthcoming, to force action. We cannot be pacified by any unnecessary delay, and we cannot forget, be the time intervening ever so long." While every white member of the board displays the greatest reticence in discussing (the Bruce case, it seems to be the predominant opinion that just what Mr. Horner anticipates will be the result of the affair, namely, that the batchet will be buried before the report is made. However, not the slightest intimation is made that Dr. Davidson will allow the batchet the making of the report. All the members agree that he will do his duty *A rumor to the effect that petitions asking for the resignation of the three colored members of the board will be circulated among the supporters of the Bruce faction gained credence yesterday. HIGH PLACE FOR MR STUART At the meeting held at the Central High School yesterday, Dr. Davidson, guide from commending Dr. Chancellor, said that Alexander E. Stuart was a great superintendent, and that to him was duo the greatest credit for the present highly developed public school system now in operation in Washington. Mr. Davidson said that such was the exalted perfection of the Washington system that it might fearlessly challenge comparison with any school system in the world. The statement made before the colored school teachers at a meeting held at the M Street High School last week, Dr Davidson denounced in the strongest terms the practice of currying favor with board members to gain preferment in the school system. Dr. Davidson said that the greatest asset of the Washington schools is the high ideals entertained by the teachers, and that the installing of these ideals into the hearts of the children was far more important than the daily grind and drudgery of the three "It's." Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, vice-president of the board of education opened yesterday a meeting by introducing Mr. Stuart, who, in turn introduced Dr. Davidson. At the conclusion of the meeting, each attended over one hour, the new superintendent held an informal reception on the platform of the assembly hall during which he choked the hand of every teacher present. The meeting was the best attended and the most enthusiastic held in years. (Washington D.C. Post Sept 21 1911) Very Near a 'Place Plot.

Mr. Wendenburg Brands Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., as Slayer of His Wife. the get a good look at him, good job done nicely? refocused mind. SMITH PLEADS FOR ACQUITTAL VERDICT Skillfully piecing together the doubtful or beclouded issues of the case of the Commonwealth, and throwing into the shade the more prominent features, the opposing an objection and well-developed plea for the life of his client, Henry Clay Bentz, Jr. at the hands of a jury in the Chateheld Circuit Court It was a miraculous presentation of a poor case. Ably he used what points the defense had been able to pick up from day to day in an argument, not of the innocence of his client, that was never once claimed, but that a reasonable doubt had been raised as to his guilt under the evidence which doubt, under the courts' strictures, would subdue to secure an acquittal. Much time was devoted by Mr. Smith in denunciation of the methods of paid detectives in issuing evidence. In interviewing and coaching witnesses and in presenting evidence not only as it fit their case MIGHT HAVE SHOWN MUCH But at the height of the denomination of their methods Mr Smith admitted that had he had at his disposal a corps of men as well trained and as vigilant he could have brought before the jury vastly more evidence than he had and have further to advance his plea of a reasonable doubt. The poor weakling Paul Bentle was held up to derision and a jury dared to send any man to the chair on his word alone. The motive for the crime a mere girl for whom no man could have more than passivity, regard was rallied and the work points in the armor were found one after another. It was his especial knowledge that the boys from the Bon Air dance-rammy, clean-minded boys as he was glad to admit had been coached and trained into giving evidence which all but convicted it not been for the accidental finding of Kastelberg the unwilling witness whom the attorney for the defense admitted had told Mr. Smith said frankly that he did not believe that Kastelberg did not know this woman companion. He boldly charged that the lie was told because Kastelberg feared the husband and the brother of that woman. Final Bentleh he essentially exorcated Efforts were made to show big venom and animus against his more successful relatives and to show that no man of the evident intelligence and manner of Henry Bentleh have been such an idiot as use so weak an instrument to work his ends. Earnestly asserting his belief in the unreca- onableness, the unbelievable qualities of the cases the Com- munalish presented, Mr. Smith yet paused long enough to be shocked to see that he had been charged painted. Asserting that it staggered human belief that a man such as his client could have done such a deed, he asserted boldly that hell heil no flend more brutal than one who would stay the wife of his bosom and the mother of the child to deliberate proclimation after nights of planning and days of preparation MR SMITH'S ADDRESS "When court opened at 9:20 A M H M Smith, Jr of counsel for the defense, began at once his closing argument, which occupied about four hours. When he concluded at 1 15 o'clock, he said, "I congratulate you, gentlemen of the jury," he began, "that your arduous labors are nearly over. I thank you for the manifest patience with which you have conducted yourselves--for the fair and diligent attention that you have given to the evil counselor," he said, "he a fair and conscientious verdict. No one in this county doubts that." "I congratulate Mr. Carter and myself that the admissible duties which have for so many weary days rested on our shoulders, are now about to be transferred to yours. His masterly argument has made it unnecessary for me to detain you. I don't think in all my life I ever before heard him speak more than an hour and a half. Imagine my embarrassment when I come before you in a case to which Mr. Carter has finally agreed. If you worry hardy and conscientiously efforting to throw light on this case, pot appalling too passion or prejudice, but to intellect and conscience he pointed out to you the path and duty and the path of reason. NO APPEAL TO PASSION "I shall not appeal to improper passion or prejudice. This is a case filled with meat—with food for reflection. We know that upright, intelligent conscious men may well differ as to certain features of the evidence. "We do not anticipate what we fear to prove. What we fear is a hung jury. Those of you who may hesitate may feel that you cannot give your assoct to a vordict of not guilty. It shall be my effort to convince you that we are entitled under the instructions and your oaths to such a verdict. It is not for us to point out the guilty man. We are convinced that this young man" laying his hand on Henry, Beatty's shoulder. "If you after reviewing all the evidence are not convinced beyond adventure of the guilt of the accused the verdict under the instructions must be not guilty. How must you have felt when you heard the evidence of the defense? It shows the evidence of the murder by hurting full of making up their minds about the case without hearing all the evidence. Two car loads of boys were coming from Bom Air Dutryman's调训 of meeting a young man in an automobile with a yellow top - He described the actions of that young man, and he added to present reminded you of a chicken with a broken wing leading an enemy from its nest. Mr Sydnor said he met that auto shop after sunset going as slow as it could go. We are left to imagine their theory for the counsel for the Commander has not given us the benign of their case, we have not had the advantage but are left to shoot in the dark. DOESN'T KNOW STATES THEORY A though this young man is on trial for his life we do not yet know the theory of the Commonwealth as to the exact manner of the crime or the relative importance of the evi- dence of the crime losing counsel a great advantage. I take it for granted that it is the purpose of Mr. Sydnor's evidence to show that this young man went out and hid a gun behind a stump. I cannot imagine, why the stump and the tracks, leading to the stump have not been put in evidence. This young man has been proved to have been the victim of a good education. He is a graduate of McGill's University School than which there is no better, and certainly none stands higher. At his early age, he has taken charge of and control of the men's formatting and show departments two of the largest departments of his father's store. He has seen the buyer and manager and has conducted the sales. You saw him on the witness stand to look every detail of this case under a rigid mercurial and I may say he hurtless cross-examination. He stood it all. He must have impressed you as a man of great intelligence. Yet the theory of the Commonwealth would make this young man out a shame and idiot in his preparations for the murder. It would make him the greatest brute that has ever displayed the annals of history. NO FOLIER FIEND IN HELL. If the charge he true that he did this thing no fouler lend calis in hell. They want you to believe that this kind-hearted, intelligent, tortuose young man conceived so disastrally a murder it staggers him man belief in the challenged an investigation of his character along these lines. We throw down the guillemot so to speak when we put his chilacter in issue. We told them to bring any man of Chesterfield county here to say what manner of man he is. With all the array of detectives at their disposal no attack could be made on the character and integrity of Henry Beattle. What manner of man is it that is charged with this crime? The punishment good character may in itself raise a reasonable doubt of guilt. We claim a nuisance on that instruction: ONLY BY AN IDIOT. "No one but an idiot could have conceived this crime. He goes out here at sunset and hides a gun behind a stump on the Midlothian road the most popular drive out of South Bend, man who concocted the crime they popped up more nor less than an idiot. "Leading from this turpike are many lonely and unfrequented roads; roads not traveled and running through an uninhabited section, accessible and convenient for the purposes of a dehumanizing Yoyo. You believe that he picked out this popular, much-travelled pike at the scene of his crime—that he courted spectators, planned to have witnesses: "According to the theory they will present, he goes out to plan the crime. He goes out to the dalryman Sydner, lets Mr. Sydner get a good look at him, goes beyond him, turns around and comes back by him and gives Mr. Sydnor three good looks at him. He hides a gun behind a stump. If he had conceived this plan—thought it over for a week—why should he have used a shotgun when a platoal could have procured and more easily concealed? Is it the part of common sense to put yourself in the power of another man and not even ask him to say anything about it? There seems to have been a sort of feud on Paul's part against the Bottle family. He is a weakling, easily led, easily frightened. In a room with a set of detectives he would probably sign a statement you wanted. It is absurd that Henry Bottle should have conceived this crime and then put himself in the power of a man with whom he had no relations except that second cousin. There was a feeling of superiority on Henry's part. Paul was poor. There has been something wrong in him. He puts himself in the power of another man when there was no need for it. RIDICULES THOUGHT OF IT Henry if he planned this crime, is responsible for having paved the way for the police to follow. Think of lying a gun in a pawnshop and leaving it there half a day with the name on it - an old second-hand gun usually identified. He goes out on this popular thoroughfare and hid it behind a stump. The chances are that he told you about, and found that they are not Henry Beattie's. That's the danger of private detectives, not under the responsibilities of official life. It it took one track to get to the stump and put the gun there and another to get back to the road. It seems to me there should be two more traces when he got the gun again later. He said the proof that he didn't leave his home that night until after No clock. It was never depleted until in the closing hours, of the case. That Sydnor could not identify him or his machine is positive and conclusive proof that this isn't the man. If it had been the identification would have been certain, as Sydnor saw him two or three days later at the inquest. They are not at the inquest. They are not at the inquest. We are. Was that Henry Bouton out on the plane that night at sunset? With that mass of doubt, we ask what we have a right to, and that you give us the benefit of the doubt. They throw a doubt on his being late in getting to Tom Owen's place the night of the murder. The fairest stand was Tom Owen the uncle of this girl. We are willing to rest this case on his testimony. He was the first man to whom Henry told his tale, and Tom Owen says that Henry mentioned then that he had had a busted tire. The first three to whom he told his tale of the hold-up were to have told the police. We have Wren and they all three agree as to what he said. All the discrepancies were discovered in what he alleged to have told others afterward. Men came here—doubless honest in fact the great majority of the witnesses in this case have told the truth as they thought it was true. If the prosecution had had confidence in the case it had worked up. It would not dwell on these lesser details. They tell us that the fact that he didn't take any others with him that night was a suspicious circumstance. There was no one to go. Mrs Owen was sick. Tom was not charged by the charge of the baby. Is there anything remarkable in that? They might have carried the baby, as they had done before, but the hour-was late. CANDY-BUYING INCIDENT "They go down to have the prescription filled—this murderer, they have pictured with his head filled with brutal instincts. He stands outside on the running board talking to his wife. One would have thought that he would have been stealing himself for that dreadful crime. This murderer—whose victim would be alive only a few minutes—for her missing husband. That is how unnatural yet it is paraded here as a damming circumstance. They left the drug store at 10:27 o'clock. Henry Fleattle has said from the beginning that he met three automobiles coming toward town. They were the two Bon Air boys and Kastellborg. They are a very good set of boys, from what I know of them, young and easily influenced, and they have been involved in the things they did. If they had been left alone on conclusions, they would not have seen. It is very easy to lead a witch. "Here was the most damning circumstance in this case. When those boys told of seeing a car by the road with a man standing down in front and a woman on the running board — boys whose fathers I had known — they were telling the truth—the case looked ugly; it looked very black. Mr. Carter and myself were worried, while we didn't believe this testimony. Henry has said that his wife was not on the running board. He knew there would be ten or a dozen close-looking boys whose appearance gave you confidence in their testimony; it looked black. KASTELBERG'S BIG PART. "But God moves in a mysterious way. Like a lightning flash from a clear sky came the message that it had been discovered who was on that road that night. Men who knew the secret of that ride, when a human life was at stake, came and told it: 'You have been discovered the happiness of a home. Kastelberg came here with reluctance. He deserves no credit for coming. He was forced on the witness stand. Richmond would have been too hot for him in after years if he had been silent when a life was at stake. He was out there in a Know car. No, from a pump bake a store when those two carloads of boys passed by. I am frank to say I don't believe a word of Kastelberg's story about that woman. I believe he knows who that woman was, who her husband is, and who her brother is. He knows too much to do was to tell you that he picked her up on the street. But I do believe and know that it was Kastelberg's car those boys passed with the woman on the board. These boys passed but one car. There's the danger of circumstantial evidence. This man might have paid the penny for testimony alone if Kastelberg had not been forced to come here. That evidence was damning almost conclusive. How would you have felt, after this chair, if six months from some compunction of conscience had made that man or that woman compounded the circumstantial index in that it shows the dangers of a circumstantial evidence. CERTAIN HE KNOWS WOMAN All that about his picking up a woman about 'his being drunk about his not showing the time that was all done to get peace at home' at his own home and at some one else's home I don't believe a ward he said about that woman 'and I don't ask you to believe it. John D. H. Bair Jr came here and said he had said that night it was a Knox ar D-11, that he had seen in Smith's garage. They did not know Kostelberg Passall recognized it. He was in the second car. He saw the number. D-11, and so told M. scherer the next morning that nothing in it that the number of the Beattie car was 820. It was a mere accident that we got hold of that testimony. You have been given a terrible mistake. The responsibility would not have been upon you, but on those objectives. But you would have had to undergo the suffering consequent on that mistake. Some great and good men have the taking of human life for any cruelty we cannot take it on circumstantial evidence and they point to sage experience for this. Our mail has been flooded with clippings giving accounts of wrong convictions on circumstantial evidence. The responsibility rests on you for yourself, individually, not collectively the mistakes you make by twelve you answer one by one. What we fear is a hung jury. It is better to have a defense than to doubt, we have right to demand that doubt. Better that ninety and nine guilty men suffer than that one innocent man suffer STRONG CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE We have already admitted that there was a strong case of circumstantial evidence. Mr Wendenburg will undoubtedly make a strong picture in closing this case. If you believe that Henry Beattie committed this crime, there can be but one murder in the first degree; there can be no intermediate ground. We need not discuss instructions on other than premeditated murder. "The evidence falls to show a motive. The hew want to kill his wife for that woman they have had in jail and were afraid to trust on the witness stand." We are asked to be before the judge. We are asked to show you that he employed Paul Beattie to buy him a second-hand gun. I have asked you to consider whether it is reasonable. The evidence appears to contradict Henry and corroborate Paul as to that Thursday night meeting. The night is immaterial, and that Henry met him for such purpose is imminent on the sole testimony of Paul Beattie. "Nobody says there was any: incriminating circumstance in the meeting with Paul on Thursday night even if they did meet. The story of Mrs. Houchons and Mrs. Paul Beattie of hearing a telephone conversation, 'meet me at Short and Main streets,' is unnatural and improbable. There are many unusual circumstances. Haven't these women got some motive for their statements? They have no fault. Paul Beattie was the top of the car was yellow, Nobody doubles but that Mrs. Paul Beattie would have corroborated her. The detectives know she would fall into the same error, and she admitted having 'talked with Schorer during the dinner hour. Don't these things make you a little doubtful? AS TO THURSDAY NIGHT. "I say that all that Thursday night is 'immaterial' testimony. We don't." adult it, but even if they met that night there is nothing incriminating in it, and on its face it is unbelievable. It doesn't cut any real figure after all. You have only the testimony of Paul Beattie, and if the testimony of Paul Beattie, you wouldn't hold Paul Beattie's testimony as sufficient to convict on. You cannot convict in this case unless you believe Paul Beattie. Are you going to take a human life on the testimony of Paul Beattie? Henry knew when he went on to be convicted, yet a forty-mule team couldn't have kept him from that witness chair. You may call it nerve it was a consciousness of innocence that sustained him through that ordeal. He couldn't have been contradicted if he hadn't taken the stand. It is consistent with innocence and is absolutely inconsistent with guilt. "When they undertook to prove Paul Beatie's character Mr. Carter has shown you how they have been contradicted. We boldly challenged his reputation for truth and veracity, and proved by his old granddaughter that he was Paul's testimony has grown. He didn't say at the inquest that the gun was taken in three pieces. Now he says. Henry got in the back of the machine with the gun, as though to hide it. He told them at Weinstein's pawnshop that he was buying the gun as a watchman on Mayo's Bridge. The. Weinstein boy who knew the gun pieces didn't know the stand how to take it apart. How are you going to take a human life on such testimony, when it is changing all the time?" After the gun was put in the car according to Paul Beatie, the first man they met was Policeman Green the officer who refused information from the attorney under instructions from the attorney. He fitted his evidence as to the time to fit the case. That's the way this case has been worked up STATE AFRAID OF BECLAI It is very remarkable, isn't it, that Boulthin Hinford has been loaked up for a month. She was in the car that Saturday night. She ought to have known whether there was a gun in the back of the car that night, yet they haven't gotten any testimony, and she didn't know why they visited her two times and get statements from her. If the gun was in the back part of the car, why was Police Officer Green invited to get in and ride with them? Hilly Sampson started to get in the back that night, and he didn't see any gun. No living human being has ever seen that gun in Henry Beattie's possession. We don't even know that she said that. "We do not say that Paul Beattie is guilty of this crime. It is dangerous to advance theories in a case of this sort. We are under no obligation to do it. The failure of the evidence to disclose any other criminal agent that the accused does not affect us according to the instructions. We are not called on to vengeance in innocence by naming the guilty person. It isn't a burden that rests on us. "Suppose Paul Beattie did buy that gun to use on Mayo's Bridge?" Suppose Neblett is telling the truth that Paul did have that gun on Sunday morning. Suppose some one stole that gun from the cement-house, and it got into the hands of some tramp and that person killed Mrs. Beattie wouldn't Paul fear to tell that tale for fear he would not be believed? Suppose he was lost in On Henry and threw the weight of an influence in that direction. Suppose that swarm of human bloodhounds had taken a trail against Paul instead of Henry, just imagine the case they would have had against him. BANKS ON NEBLETT. He certainly bought the gun on Saturday night at Wetnstein's. He told them he wanted it to use on Mayo's island. He cannot say now he wanted it for his Consin Henry. On Sunday morning he is seen with a single barreled gun. He denies it, of course, but Ernest Nebelt comes forward and says, "I saw him." He fails absolutely to account for himself on Tuesday night of the crime. There. He is not alone. He except that Rafter said he saw him coming from the river on Monday on Tuesday night. There is a chain of circumstantial evidence even without the roleness pursuit. What is his defense? He says he bought the gun for Henry. The first statement is the one he is bound by—that he bought it for his own use. "Suppose Henry were to change his statement and say now. I did go over to Richmond to see Paul on the train to Beulah I didn't want made public, that we did like a drink at MeEvoy." "Let it be your rallying cry that you are not satisfied that Henry had the gun in his possession, Paul had there. There is no evidence that Henry had the gun in his possession, Paul and he has made unreasonable and conflicting statements. THE 80-CALLED CONFESSION. "We come to the confession. 'So far from hurting Henry Beatle, I think it the best thing that has happened or that could have happened. It shows Paul's unreliability; the way in which he is going about this whole case. If this confession was made on Thursday night, as he says, and he on the Saturday following went on the stand and swore to tell all he knew, what is his position? He told his wife on Thursday night about the purchase of the gun, but didn't even tell his wife about the confessions he had to teach him to tell he didn't like to tell on his flesh and blood. Thea he told it as his duty to the public. Does that sound like Paul Beattie—'his duty to the public?' "Remember what Gentry and Bolton said Paul told them on Friday; think of a confession made under those circumstances when he had just referred to his blood kin. As he told them, he said, 'I'd identify it put this thing on him, it is a doubtful species of evidence, as the court well says.' 'When his wife' and mother-in-law said that things looked black for him why didn't he tell them Henry had congruded to him? A man who would come into a courtroom and manufacture a confession is just as bad as one who would commit a crime. And then the temple of justice. The other only shows the degradation of the human kind under certain conditions SMITH'S FINAL WORDS I have endeavored to impress you that you where there is any doubt we should have the benefit, that the instructions should be carefully read. The greatest weakness of the Commonwealth case is that of no father and no son where the bond of question was closer. You have been told how the door of hope opened to that old father's heart at the birth of his grandchild. He says it made the world look young and fresh again. This boy has testified that here he was born, that between his self and his wife. That is his home life. Now what is the motive? Is it this girl Beulah Blinford? I do not, and Mr Carter does not undertake to justify this young man's conduct with Beulah Blinford. He shall have no apology at my face. But admitting every word of it that doesn't account for this murder. "The death of this boy at your hands not only means degradation and disgrace to that white-haired father to that stalwart brother, that gentle little sister, but remember that little baby too young to lisp his prayers. Its mother gone now, you are asked to brand his father as the secondborn child of the twentieth century. May God aid you in your deliberations and give you wisdom and strength to do your duty." In the most masterful argument ever presented to a Virginia jury, L. O Wendenburg, assistant prosecutor, by the express wish of relatives of the dead woman, yesterday convinced twelve men that Henry Clay Beatle巾 months-old bride, and fifty-eight minutes after his final word was spoken the jury so rendered its verdict. In the opinion of all that crowded courtroom—a courtroom packed and jammed as it had never been before and as it probably never will be again—Mr. Wendenburg made the effort to Toughshod. he code over the objection, the number of his opponents, and clearly and convincingly argued from the evidence that none other than the prisoner at the bar could have been on the Midlothian Turnpike at that exact spot and at that exact hour on the night of July 18, when Mrs. Beatle巾 another could have had that gun than the young man who sat, cold and silent, listening to the lawyer's grumbling words. BROKEN. BIT BY BIT Hit by hit he broke down the barrier—that barrier of "reasonable doubt"—which counsel for the defense erected around their client, and showed, without fear of contradiction, the importance of their opportunity, that Henry Bontle alone had the desire, that he alone had a motive to stay the unprotected woman. The assistant prosecutor laughed to scorn the attempt of the defense to bring · in other · shaggy, but not a perpetual, perpetual perversity of the awful deed. ] "Why did not the defense bring them on the scene at the right time?" he cried; and then, with a finger that did not waver, he pointed at the defendant and said: "There is the man who committed the crime. There is the man who must pay the penalty with his blood." Through all the history of crime Mr. Wendonburg ranged, comparing this deed with others of its kind, and said that therb was none other, even in the dark ages of the past, which could equal it in all its hilarious features and cold-blooded brutality. In which therb was none other, milita as a merd abred of a child thirteen years old, the attorney found the motive—the motive which the State declared it was not forced to prove. DEAD GIRL'S MOTHER He pointed out that the dead woman's lonely mother had stated on the stand that her daughter's married life was not as happy as it had been pictured by the witnesses for the defame, and here told, with bitterness, that she had been upon the witness stand. It was a daughter's confidence in her mother that he told—a story, that could not be denied. And Henry Beattie, Mr. Wendenburg argued, had to rid himself of his wife, and there appeared rid himself of one woman that he might warm himself in the glow of another fireside. And that way was by the assassin's hand, and it was Henry Beattie, the lawyer shrieked, who took his unsuspecting wife out on that ride which ended in her death. And how could it have happened, he asked, that the "bearded high-warrior" knew that Henry Benttle and his wife were to drive along that road that night, when the prisoner at the gate that it was at the prisoner on the stand that it was at his wife that they took the spin? And how was it, he asked again, that the same gun which Paul Benttle swore that he bought for his cousin, could have been the same weapon which was found on the Boll Line crossing, and Benttle himself at first acknowledged gun with which his wife was slain. NOT KASTELBERG'S CAR Beyond fear of contradiction, Mr Wendenburg showed that it was not Charles Kastolberg's car which those boys coming home from a dance at Bon Air saw standing on the road, but he asked, given a description of the man and woman they saw, which did not tally with the description of Kastolberg and that nameless woman he took with him on a joy ride! Then, too, Kastolberg's car was seen more than once, and the murder was committed, while that other automobile was seen almost on the very spot. Almost with a gesture he broke down that part of the fabric of the defense which lay in the story admitted and told by Kgs. With a record of the testimony before him, Mr. Wendenburg argued before the jury, displaying the strong points brought out by the prosecution and-showing the pitiful weakness of those points on which the client was accused. The jury sat cold and silent. JURY MOVED TO TEARS At one time he moved them to tears. His own voice broke, and the vast crowd inside the small courtroom and all those who could hear him from the courthouse green weep with him. It was when he referred in a broken voice, to the babe left motherless by the slaying of the wounded father of her hand. He pictured the double face of an emerald infant, and in words painted a picture of that baby holding out its arms for the hands that never more would fondle it, reaching for the breast on which it can never lie again. And under the storm or words and tears young Beatle covered. He bowed his head, and for words he bowed in all the days he has been on trial, bowed that somewhere beneath his ankle his soul could be reached. "And, ahi!" said Mr. Wendeburg, "they speak of his old, gray-haired father. My sympathy goes out to him. But what of that young woman? think of her on that dark and snowy day. She saw the assassin's gun. in the hands of the man who had sworn at the nitar to love and protect her. Think of the agony of that moment." By some grace of feeling the lawyer spared his hearers a further penalty of that young woman's last night, the crowd sighed with approval as he drew the curtain over that hour. FAIR EVEN TO MURDERER Even in the most heated moments of his argument Mr. Wendensburg was fair to the prisoner. He read from the instructions of the court to the jury that part of them which gave the prisoner the benefit of the "reasonable doubt" to which the defense clung from beginning to end. But he asked the twelve men before him how to prove he any reason to the jury to the prisoner. He shouted them and flaunted before their faces the bloody garments in which Henry Boatte died, himself for that errand of death. "These mute witnesses," he shouted, "cannot perforate themselves. This shirt shows that Henry Boatte Jr., did not place his left arm around his dead wife's waist when he took her home. This coat also shows that he supported an effort when he took her home to her mother dead." And the inference he drowns is what the state has charged—that Boatte sat on his wife's lifeless form when he returned with her to Tom Owen's home. LINES BATTERED DOWN Advertising to the fact that Beattie had said that he did not know at first that his wife was dead, and that he hurried home, because there, was a physician, he asked why it was that his wife was dead. He said he stopped, to fix his lights, and yet when they were looking for the gun he said, "To h—I will with the lights," as they went out. Morcellessly Mr. Wendensburg went about his ua SONU Ler RR URE Ie Ae ee ea as eae at 2 oe ae ae emu re ne eae sis i LTR EN Te ORG RTECS Ma RSG (hia Seen Meena NG SUR eA ESE ee OE one pears aNrsass ee es a eee SENET ad ee Gi MOND: PLANET RIGHMONDOVIRGINERS ace Ee ee ie Eos * * oth ; gee: ve ee nuff HREE be a etl ay a if Ry y x a s e Y i mn a 3 ga TURDAY: + |SEPTEMBER 30, ‘11, the time when he cowered unwér the heeusing Aiiger directed at hin, the Vrlvoger manifested little concern.

The Rev. F. B. Meyer, a nonconformist minister, who is well known in America, started the opposition to the match, urging a variety of troops among which color question is of the chief, and by strenuous efforts, has enlisted the support of a large number of prominent persons, including the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London. The Home Secretary, Winston Churchill, is in Scotland, and does not seem inclined to come to London to receive a deputation, but Mr. Moyer is getting up a petition to send to him in his northern retreat. Several papers support Mr. Moyer in the argument that the Home Office should interfere to prevent the proposed "exhibition of degrading brutality," among them The Times and The Daily Telegraph, and even Lord Hondale, who is such a lover of boxing that he has a private ring fitted up in his house in Carlton House Terrace, declares that no good can be done to honest sport by an encounter between Johnson and Wells under the proposed conditions. Pending the hoped-for interference by the authorities, Mr. Meyer has attempted to persuade Mr. White the promoter of the contest, to withdraw from it, and has offered to collect enough money to recoup him for his out-of-pocket expenses. Mr. White has agreed that if he be financially reimbursed he will drop the affair at Earl's Court; but he has placed the solatium he is willing to accept at a figure which Mr. Meyer considers extravagant. This phase of the matter has boon the occasion of much verbal and optatory argument on both sides, with the result that Mr White took to his bed toward the close of the week, and Mr. Meyer confessed that he had missed a sleepless night. It is unnecessary to recite the arguments advanced for and against permitting the fight to take place in so far as they relate to public boxing matches. Still, in this particular case, great stress is laid on the fact that "Bombardier" Wells, although a promising young fighter, cannot be a match for a world's champion like Johnson, and that the encounter will consequently be nothing more than a brutal exhibition of how much pummeling on one can stand at odds with another. In its aspect as a contest between a white man and a nogre, the controversy has especial interest for America. The Archbishop of Canterbury diplomatically referred to in his letter to Mr. Meyer, in which he said: "I share to the full the indignation which found expression last year as to the brutalizing and degrading scene in an American priceing—indignation which was, of course, fully shared, if it was not chiefly felt, in the United States." Major-General Sir Alfred Turner said: "The Home Office should prevent the exhibition, which may lead to lamentable racial, disturbances, not perhaps in this country, but in the United States. I hope for the fair fame of London that the fight will not be allowed to proceed. The Rev. Dr. Jowett, who sailed this week for America, said before his departure that he did not think that a fight similar to the Johnson-Jeffries fight would ever be permitted again in America, and he hoped that the English County Councils would prohibit the cinematograph reproductions if the Home Office did not stop the fight. It is on the ground of public policy that the Home Office is chiefly urged to intervene by the most authoritative opponents of the fight. Great Britain, it is pointed out, possesses many colonies whose black populations would be affected by the knowledge of such a contest between a negro and a white man. One paper in South Africa has voiced a protest on behalf of the white population there, and both The Times and The Daily Telegraph argue that the relations existing between the whites and blacks in many parts of Africa at this moment are such that Great Britain cannot permit here at home an encounter which is bound to cause a ferment of racial ill-feeling such as was provoked in America after the Reno affair. The columns of letters which some papers, without 'editorially countenancing the match, admit to their pages, prove that there is a considerable body of the public that clings to the opinion that boxing is a noble sport and that there should be no interference with a contest properly regulated and referred. In regard to this latter point a significant statement is made by Eugene Corri, to the effect that he has not been asked to referee the fight, and that if he were, he would refuse to do so. the London. Jackson continues working hard to reduce his Weight. Although he has already lost one and a half stone (or twenty-one pounds) since his arrival here over three weeks ago, he is not satisfied, and says that he will enter the ring at fifteen stone, which means that he must lose from now until the date of the fight over one pound a day. To a correspondent, who saw him, he said that he could not understand why such a fuss was being made in England, as it was not the first time that colored men had fought white men in London. When told of White's reported intention to have Eugene Corri as referee at Earl's, Court, Johnson said: "Corril isn't going to referee any fight I take part in, and that's definitely settled. I am the world's champion boxer, come to England, as a stranger, to defend my title, so I am going to have a say in the choice of a referee, and I don't regard Corri as impartial, as he has already formed his opinion of the fight and expressed it in private conversation. "I am not going to have a repetition of Reno, where the referee was all the time in favor of Jeffries because he had backed him with a large sum. No, Corri won't referee this fight." The greatest interest is being taken here in Johnson's preparations for his approaching match with Wells and his public practice at Magic City attracts large crowds every evening. Inquiries made in sporting circles here show that he is considered by experts to be somewhat out of condition, and that if it were a matter of physical-form chiefly the result of the contest might be doubtful. Otherwise what taxed with his shortcomings in this respect, declares that he will boat Wells on the strength of his experience alone, which will, he says be more than sufficient. Parisians are entirely of his opinion, and while in England the question of color is causing many sportsmen to lay bots on the white man, here the is a foregone conclusion, and in consequence there is practically no betting, public takes the view that the issue as no one can be found to back Wells. Johnson is taking his training rather seriously, however, and sallies forth every morning from his quiet villa just outside Paris, which he took a short time ago, on a long walk, sometimes for ten miles in the course of which he astonished the natives by sparring with his companions, taking occasional short runs, and flinging a heavy ball about. His evenings are spent in boxing at Magic City with his partners, or with any good boxer who cares to stand up to him. Meanwhile his partners. "Kid" Cutler, "Bob" Armstrong and Carpenter, the French premier wolverweight, are having their work cut out, and an addition to the staff is being made by the engagement of Henri Plet, the French champion, who gave a good account of himself in the United States last year. JOHNSON—WELLS FIGHT IS NOW OFF London, Sept. 20.—The fight between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells is off, as Home Secretary Churchill ruled yesterday that the contemplated match is illegal. The Home Secretary stated that unless the contest is voluntarily abandoned steps will immediately be taken to prevent it. The home office has been besieged with complaints against the coming fight, and Mr. Churchill telegraphed Rev. F. M. Moyer, who is leading the agitation against the affair, that the protests had been given full consideration, and that unless the proposed match was voluntarily abandoned the home office would apply to the Bow Street Court for a summons against the promoters to show cause why they should not be bound over to the peace. The meeting between the two principals in the proposed fight to agree upon a referee, which was scheduled for yesterday, was postponed until today. ANOTHER CASE ADDED TO SUICIDE RECORD Choosing a bench as secluded and as far as possible from the glare of the nearest electric light, Eugene Peay, of 2200 M street, a locomotive engineer, employed for fourteen years by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, committed suicide in Chimborazo Park Sept. 21st, by drinking a quantity of carbolic acid. The man was forty-one years old and leaves a wife, four daughters and one son. He was sent to Newport News several days ago by the rainy day, and nb member of his family he was back in Richmond until the police notified them of the suicide. According to the police records, this has been one of the most fruitful years in suicides in the history of the city, no less than fourteen people having killed themselves since January 1st. Unless it be later discovered that Pony was in financial difficulty no one can account for his act. Those who know him say that he was a man of good habits, steady and industrious. His pocketbook, found on his person, disclosed a great many promissory notes. All were marked "paid," but the dates indicate that Pony had been in the habit of borrowing considerable sums, with more or less regularity, and the theory is adduced that others falling in the man may have found himself able to meet obligations still outstanding and in despondency killed himself. This, however, is but a theory. Besides the notes and a good many receipts from the local secretary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers were found, and a heavy gold ring, some keys, several railway passes and two or three English coins. - Subscribe to The PLANET. Ben Hubbard, who shot and killed Dr. James A. Pettit at Lovington today, was brought here at 10 o'clock tonight by two deputies and lodged in jail for safekeeping. He refused pointblank to make a statement. He appeared to be, torribly agitated. The trouble, it is stated, grow out of a grudge Hubbard had against Dr. Pettit, who was called in to attend Hubard's wife eighteen months ago by Hubard's father against the soner's desiro. He is declared to have stattd then that he would kill Pettit, and left home this morning, it is alloged vowing he would kill him if he was at Lovington during the day. Lovington, Va., Sept. 25.—While seated on the porch of the Virginia Hotel, during the dinner recess of court today, Dr. James A. Pettit, one of the best known physician of this section of the State, and a member of Governor Mann's staff, was shot down and instantly killed by, Ben Hubard, also a well known citizen of this county, Hubard, with the smoking revolver still in his hand, was seized from the rear by Porter A. Balf, who secured his weapon, and aided by others who had rushed to his assistance, took him to the jail, less than 100 yards distant. When court reconvened in the afternoon, following the coroner's inquest, Judge Gordon summoned a special grand jury, the regular grunt jury having been discharged after the morning session, and within a short time Hubard had been indicted for the crime, and his case was immediately set for trial on October 6th. Late this afternoon, on account of the wrought-up condition of the people of this community, and desiring not to take any chances, the authorities decided to remove Hubard to Lynchburg for safekeeping. In custody of a number of special guards, he was taken to Shipman, the nearest railroad station, and from there to Lynchburg, arriving at the latter place at 10 o'clock. SHOT WITHOUT WARNING Lovingston was stirred as it has seldom been before by this apparently cold-blooded murder. Dr. Pettitt was sitting on the steps of the hotel, making settlement with a negro when without warning Hubard approached him from the rear and began firing. The first shot caused Dr. Pettitt to fall to the ground, and while he lay prostrate he was shot five more times in raid succession, and before any of the large number of bystanders could get to his rescue and wrench the deadly weapon from the hands of the assailant. Any one of the shots, it was declared by a physician who examined the wounds, was sufficient to have caused almost instant death. His face was badly bruised and mashed. The last five shots were fired from a distance of less than three feet Immediately scores of people many of whom had witnessed the killing, but were almost stunned by the suddenness and shock of it all, made a rush for the murderer. Mr Ball being the first to reach and disarm him. He was quickly surrounded by a wildly excited crowd, and for awhile it appeared as if there were danger of his being roughly handled, but aided by several in the crowd, the officials formed a cordon about him, and he was rushed to the nearby jail. To prevent the possibility of any attempt at summary action a strong guard, especially detailed, and heavily armed, was thrown about the prison. Early in the afternoon a coroner's inquest was held over the body of Dr. Pottit, which had been carried into the hotel, and it returned a verdict fixing the crime upon Hubert. INDICTED BY GRAND JERY After the reassambling of court Judge Bennett P. Gordon, who was presiding, at once summoned a special grand jury, which immediately took up the consideration of the case. Within a short time an indictment, charging Hubard with the killing, was returned, and Judge Gordon set the trial for October 6. Friday of next week Hubard then was taken back jail, where he was kept until he left for the custody of officers. He will be held probably until the time he is brought back to Loydinson to stand trial. The only possible motive for the crime, so far as is known at this time, grow out of a grudge, which it is said Hubbard has been harboring for a long time against the physician following his attendance on Hubbard's wife when she was ill about eighteen months ago. At that time it is understood that Dr. Pottit was summoned to attend Mrs. Hubbard, who was in a serious condition. When the physician arrived Hubbard is said to have refused to allow the physician to enter his home. But Mr. Hubbard's father, who was present, insisted that the physician should see him, and the physician, which he did, still over the protests of Hubbard. Out of this incident is said to have grown the grudge which resulted in the killing of today. Dr. Pottit was about forty years of age, and he long had been regarded as one of the leading physicians of this section of the State and one of its best known citizens. On the occasion of the inauguration of Gov. Mann he named Dr. Pottit as a member of his staff. His home was at "Roseland," where he owned one of the finest estates in the county. He had practiced his profession for a great many years, and was a graduate in medicine from the University of Virginia. He was held in the highest esteem by people of all classes, and especially among the poorer people of this county, for whom he did a great amount of charitable work. His farm is a valuable one, and he was generally regarded as a man of some means. Dr. Pottit is survived by his wife, who was a Misa Fitzpatrick, and three children—James A. Pottit, Jr. Mary and Emma Pottit—ranging in ages from eleven to three years. He had a large and prominent family. connection in this county, and was one of the members of the Democrat- to Committee of Nelson. Ben Hubard is the son of Colonel James L. Hubard, at one time the Democratic nominee for the House from this county, a prominent citizen, who lives about ten miles from the county seat. He is a brother of R. T. Hubard, of Buckingham county, and is first cousin of Edmund W. Hubard, Commonwealth's Attorney of Buckingham. His wife and several children are living. His farm is near that of Dr. Pottit's, and the men long had been near neighbors. Hubard was regarded as a very eccentric man. PETTIT'S SLAYER DECLINES TO TALK Lychnburg, Va., Sept. 26.—Ben Hubard, who yesterday shot and killed Dr. J. A. Pattit at Lovington, again refused when seen at the jail here today to make a statement as to the cause of the tragedy, though he admitted frankly that he did the killing. Further than that he could not be made to talk. He says he will make no statement until advised to do so by counsel. None of the man's friends has been here to see him yet. As to the motive for the shooting, it was learned today from a relative of the murdered man, who is a resident of Lynchburg, that Dr. Pettit was called in last spring to attend Hubard's wife, who was in a delicate condition. Hubard had arranged for a negress to attend his wife, and did not want a physician. Hubard's father learned of the woman's precarious condition, and sent for Dr. Pettit, who did not want to attend the patient because of her husband's objection, but finally was persuaded so, and it developed that the woman should have died but for his attention. After this occurrence Dr. Pettit stated that Hubard had threatened his life for this, but he did not fear him. The physician stated a short time ago that he was not afraid of Hubard unless he should slip up from behind and attack him, and this proved to be the case yesterday. WILL NOT TALK With unusual adrofitness Hubard checkmated every effort to draw him out this morning, the effort being directed to ascertain from his lips what was the cause of the grudge he held against the man whose life he snuffed out yesterday afternoon, but he always came back with the reply that 'when he had counsel his counsel could prepare a statement 'so much better for him than he could talk it' That was all he would say. To show the skilful manner in which the man was able to take care of himself, when he was asked if he did not have a brother or sister at one time in one of the State insane hospitals, he said: "Would it delay you much for you to get that information from some other member of the family?" And that was all Jon Hubard would say, excepting that he did not enjoy being confined in one of the small cells of the city jail, though at the same time he had not found the place so uncomfortable. This morning he was without the heavy cont he wore at the time he was locked up here last night, and the blond which spatored on him he was firing the last shots into the head of the victim had been removed. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Warrenton, N.

William Renfer and his wife, aged residents, living near DuPont, ten miles from Wilkes-Barre, Pa. were attacked and so badly beaten by burglar that they are now in a precarious condition. Doubless believing that Renfer had a considerable sum of money in his house, due to the sale recently of a large property, burglarised in Renfer was dragged from bed, and when he refused to tell where the money was he was clubbed into insensibility by two of the burglar, while the third choked Mrs. Renfer until she was insensible. The burglar got but a small amount of money, while Renfer and his wife are so badly injured that their recovery is doubtful.

Whirling about in midair, his body a flaming torch, Frank Miller, a Cleveland aviator, was burned to death and dropped to the ground, a charred and lifeless mass, in the sight of thousands of horrified spectators at the Miami county fair, at Troy, near Piqua, Ohio. Miller had just completed a flight around the fair grounds about 200 feet from the ground in his Curtina biplane. As he made a final sweep towards his landing place there was a blinding flash, and his gasoline tank exploded. A twist of the steering wheel sent the plane up in the air, and then Miller lost control and the flaming gasoline enveloped him. Like a shot out of a cannon the aviator and machine dropped to the ground Miller was dead, his machine consumed by flames. Six Hacked to Death With Axe. The bodies of a man, two women and three children, all with their heads split open, were found in a house on West Dale street, in Colorado Springs, Colo. They had been murdered a week or ten days ago. The dead were identified as Mrs Alice E May Burnham and her six-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, Henry Wayne, his wife, Blanche Wayne, and their one-year-old baby. The killing was done with an axe borrowed from a neighbor.

(Continued From Third Page) by a more child. Instead of looking at her with the eye of desire as he did he should have helped her this slip of a child even it she had made a mistake in her young life. When a man gets to loving babies and robbing the cradle something must be wrong with him. He is influenced by the devil. And then Mr Wendenburg went on to recount the story of Henry and Bentah's life together. And, ah, he went on with something of fury in his voice, he grew tired of his matrimonial alliance, he grew tired of the sweets of home life and he forsook his bride for an abandoned woman he exchanged the glow of virtue for passion's feeble tapers. A ministerial friend of mine suggested that the deeds of Henry VIII. of England formed the greatest blot on the exultation of England. And I say that this crime of Henry Boattie has formed the greatest blot on the exultation of Virginia." He read the Kid" letter," "The idea." he spoke out, "of a man writing that sort of letter to a woman of that kind writing it in his own home with his wife and baby by his side. He should not have forgotten that woman at his side he should not have forgotten her motherhood he should not have forgotten that power of creation and that love instinct in her, which is greater than all religion and all churches—and older than all. And he gives you a feeble excuse that he took this other woman only for its desire. It is past understanding HIS WIFE'S SORROWS. That lone mother, who came here and went upon the stand before you, tells, you in a voice that rose mercifully above a whisper of the circumstances of her daughter's sorrows, of how she was weeping three weeks before she went down to her death. And that lone mother convicted Henry Bentle of violating his matrimonial vow. We find him snaking in the glow of another woman's smile—and there is the end of happiness. He was not fit for a wife's embrace, and three weeks before she had repulsed him. He realized then that something had to occur; and the thing which did occur was the murder of this girl at the hands of a criminal husband "They tell you to let him go free let him go free, and I tell you that every unpunished murder takes something away from the security of every man's life. Let this man go free, and I say to Virginia: 'Go to the grave of Cluverius; go to the grave of McCue, and do the grave of Jeter Phillips; dig up their bodies and appologize to them, and place a band around' the ecstacion of Virginia, to remain there through all ```markdown ``` VII. CARTER PROTESTS . Walter shucked out the words Walter is the arrogue with an objection to the language at an exception we need. But Mr. Wendelburg went on almost without interruption. Let's see the aftermath of this crime he said. The crime is ostent and the Commonwealth has been trying to get evidence to help the jury determine who committed the crime. This young man knows that but one human being has in his breast the evidence to send him to the electric chair. He knows but one woman who has the secret which will send him to the electric chair. The one is Paul Beatte the innocent agent of his crime and the other is Beulah Binford the partner in his crimes. Those gentlemen of the defense with all their sophistication, can't explain the presence of this gun Paul delivers a message to Henliah, and Henry tells Paul to come back and tell him what she said. And he is so anxious that Douglas telephones that Henry wants to see Paul. The boy goes to see his cousin and finds that the cross is too heavy for him to bear and he says. This thing looks black to me. I feel sorry for you! And Henry says that he wishes to God he hadn't done it. Then he was thinking about Henry Clay Beattie and about the relentless hands of the law. And then he uses one of those buts. He says. But she didn't love me. She married me for my money. THUR THURDAY NIGHT FIND HIM QUILTY.

Is not you but the law which in Phoebe the just penalty The defense has told to win your sympathy for that gray-haired man. My heart goes out to him He has my sympathy. But I saw that black robed mother and as I see no sign of sorrow in that man's life I look on the other side. There is that little baby who never more will cling to its mother's breast that breast now gone dry. No mother's arms will be placed around its neck for the mother lies cold in her grave. There will be no mother to teach it to prattle out its little prayer. God bless papa and mamma for its mother is gone to the great beyond and its father is here before you charged with her murder. No, you must not forget that innocent little baby, and you must not forget that mother who was now beneath the soil. Mr Wendenburg's voice broke, and tears streamed down his face. The jurors wept with him, and from far and near there was a gentle sound of weeping. A minister of the gospel seated near the court, chased his hands and moaned, "God help us." Justice must be satisfied, said Mr Wendenburg recovering himself somewhat and a broken law must be vindicated. Go, gentlemen of the jury and tender your decision so that the verdict of this State will be Well done than good and faithful servants. Combining Foods The art of combining food is the art of doing well what should not be done at all but there are comparatively few of those who are convinced of the soundness of the arguments in favor of the monolayer who will be so willing to put it into practice as the gentleman who has eaten only whole wheat bread and nuts for dinner and prunes for supper for two years, even though convinced that it means greatly increased efficiency and invariable health. We have to recognize the influence of habit and of heredity and the claims of conventionality, which sometimes compel us to do what our judgment forbids. There are some foods which alone would not support life, and some are better in proper combination than alone. Milk, for instance, is made more digestible by mixture with malted cereal, and oil hashes the passage of fruit from the stomach and inhibits the secretion of gastric fluid, which is not needed for sugar fruits, which digest in the intestines. Embroidery Hoops Here is a wrinkle which is not generally known and will be useful to the woman who hates to embroider on hoops. Baste your material very firmly on stiff brown paper in such a manner that there is no danger of slipping. You may bend and crush your work to your heart's desire without danger of disturbing the design. If the paper catches in the stitch it need not cause you any uneasiness, as it can easily be torn away after the work is completed. You will receive courteous attention and your patronage is earnestly solicited. Out of Town Orders Promptly Attended.

New Jersey Concern Accused of Cutting Up Dead Horses and Diseased and Emaciated Animals For Export, Trade. That New Jersey has within its borders an establishment engaged in the business of canning and pickling horse flush, shipped to Holland for food purposes, was officially brought to the attention of the state board of health at its meeting in Trenton, N.J. The board referred the case to Attorney General Wilson, requesting him to take such action as the circuit stances would warrant The complaint was presented by Dr. R. B. Hitz-Randolph, head of the pure food department of the state board, and was based upon evidence furnished by the bureau of chemistry, of the United States department of agriculture, which has had the horse pleckling establishment under surveillance for several months. The federal authorities had succeeded in collecting evidence which satisfied them that the 9 in brothers company, of Kearsay, had been carrying on an illicit business in horse flesh. The government alleged that the most unsanitary conditions prevailed at the plant, and that carcasses of diseased and enriched animals were packed for the export trade. According to the evidence obtained by secret service men, dead horses were cut up for food on the same floor occupied by animals which had glanders and other diseases communicable to mankind The investigation started by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau, had to be practically abandoned by the government because of a leak through which Schwarz brothers were warned that they were being watched. After this, it is alleged that, no more shipments were made abroad, and the government being left without jurisdiction the case was turned over to the state authorities for prosecution under its laws. The case worked up by the government was outlined generally in a letter from Acting Chief L. Dumlap, of the bureau of chemistry, which was submitted to the state board of health by Dr. Fitz Randolph. In this letter Mr. Dunlap said: "Confirming the bureau's telegram of Sept. 14, announcing that Inspector Wagner would confer with you in regard to an apparent violation of the state food laws. I beg to acquaint you herewith more in detail of the circumstances which indicate that Schwarz Brothers & Co. of Kearney, N. J., hold in their possession a consignment of horse meat intended for food purposes and adulterated within the meaning of section 3, paragraph 6 of the state law. The above firm is engaged in rendering fat and in exporting tallow. The tankage is sold to fertilizer establishments. The meat from which the fat is rendered is obtained by the purchase of dead animals and those live animals, which, because of disease, age or general debility, are unit for further domestic service and can be purchased for a pittance. "On or about June 10, 1911, the hu roau was advised that the firm exported pickled horse meat to Holland, that this meat was entered at Rotterdam and was distributed throughout Holland for food purposes. "This information was confirmed by inquiry of the inspectors, who immediately began an investigation to procure evidence necessary to institute a prosecution." * HYPNOTIZED HIS WIFE Girl Says She Was Under a Magic Spell When Married. A divorce petition presented in the Blair court) court at Hollidaysburg, Pa, by Adon Burke, a prominent young farmer, in the sequel to a romantic marriage of last Christmas Burke eloped with Miss Sadie Hielsel, the pretty daughter of Peter W Hielsel, of East Freedom, to Cumberland, Md, where they were married. Upon their return the girl deserved her husband, declaring that he is a hypnotist and that she was under a magic spell when she repeated the wedding vows. Mr. Hielsel has sent his daughter to Ohio, beyond the range of the alleged hypnotic power. The national board of censorship of moving picture films in New York notified the police of all the larger cities of the country that they had condemned the films posed for by Beaulah Blinford, one of the figures in the Battle murder case at Chesterfield, Va., and requested the authorities of other cities to follow the example of New York and forbid their exhibition.

Bahia, Brazil, Aug 31, 1911, Mr John Mitchell, Jr., Banker, Editor and Publisher The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va, U. S. A. Dear Sir, -May I say a few words through your columns upon the much-discussed subject of the Negroes of the United States of America having one man as their race leader. I have thought very much on this subject, and have come to the conclusion that this demand is a sign of weakness, rather than one of real progress, and it is not to the best advantage of the race. This, however, is from my observations of the race in various parts of the world, such as I have been privileged to meet. For several reasons I am brought to these conclusions SUPPORT LACKING One is that the man of education in the race has not enough support from his own people nor could he expect to have to keep above the temptations of the enemy. And the man who would not yield to the temptations and even threats of the enemy would very likely not have sufficient education. Although I may be wrong, I believe that a character like that of Mr. Jack Johnson would be less seductive ten times over that of a Washington. But you all would agree that such a man could never, from an educational point of view, saying of his social rank, be entrusted with such great responsibility. And if such a man could be found among the more desired classes, I am sure that if he were honest to both the race and himself he would in no wise accept such empty honors for what you could afford to give him even though you would be giving him all that you could. MANY HANDICAPS And again, he would soon find himself under the most painful cross fires that mortal man has come. Why you would be kicking and spurring him from behind to more and you would not have the geyes, sary means to snarble him in your own demands. There would be your rich enemies offering him fabulous sums to serve them in his office. And his life would be at stake from both sides if he did not accept. Finally the best way out would be to call out to the enemy who would guarantee his protection from you and give him a great name for the world to honor. You would be entirely helpless to do anything about it either. That same man could with his personal abilities make for himself and family a very affordable living in a state other of life. ENAMP LS CITED You have some of the most striking example of the now under your immediate observations, namely Marco de Cuba the recent President of Mexico the present President of Havana Dr. Hosser T. Washington and your grand united Order of True Reformers. If one will only study the reasons of these failures he will soon find the comparative impractibility in the other. To take any one man from among you today as you now stand and put him as your absolute head would be doing one of four things namely changing a valuable life uselessly, teaching an otherwise honest man to be dishonest, giving the enemy a greater opportunity to forever control you or put yourselves in a condition many times worse than your present one. In all cases it shows a desire among you to shirk from your individual parts of the present responsibility. This is not a good sign. THE PROPER THING TO DO The proper thing to do in your society meetings is to give some time to the discussion of this subject until you have gotten it under headway far enough to call special meetings for this purpose and then draw up resolutions as to the best things to be done far that particular time, and appoint a committee and pay them money to do your bidding, bring you positive reports us to results. According as they work you could further trust them if need be with other matters. And in this way a man or some men, could see the use of composing himself well. Even in this a man can make himself dialkled by your enemies. Are you ready to protect him if the worse comes to the worse? And further, if he is willing to censure all? Then what shall become on those who depend upon him for a lying? Are you ready to say to him that if you win you shall be amply rewarded? And if you lose even your life, your family and business shall be cared for during the rest of their natural lives. SHOULD BE MADE INDEPENDENT If you so inspire envy from our common enemies, you shall not or any who belongs to you, should ever be compelled to ask favors from such persons during your natural lives. But I admit that something must be done; and it has not got to be an extraordinary thing either to inspire hatred, and even death. For an example, look at the Geo-Sundaers case; and this poor man who has life for simply speaking for the right, in the city of Richmond, Va. Your great trouble has been that you pay too much attention to burrying the dead; and the living must be sick and helpless before you give him your least attention. LOOK AFTER THE LIVING But what you really should do is to look after your living, who are healthy and strong, and who can do your some good when they are rightly placed. And help your women and children upon which rests your future interest and hope. You must really make business and work for your own people, and when he is worthy promote him in his particular walk of life. But now you all seem to be trying to get all you can at the expense of some one else. And thus you will race interest among you. This is one of the first things to stop doing. Let every man shoulder his own responsibilities, and if possible help some one else with his. And at this, and this alone, you can come to the front. You must never think that a thing is good enough for your people. And always seek to serve them cheaper than anybody else for their money. This in itself would make each of the contracting parties interested in the other. One other thing which helps you the absolute folly of this teach is that are neither in country nor colony to yourselves. What could you do with ever so good a leader? If there in any request you wish to make to your government, it would in all cases be better to do this in a body, hold your conferences regular in your particular districts, and as necessary call your general conferences where you only send your best and wisest counsellors. SOUND ADVICE GIVEN What you really need more than all is to know your changes in other countries and make use of them. Quit acting like so many children but just more like men. The world loves the man who thinks well first and then puts his thoughts into action for the general good. From an economic point of view if nothing more I tell you all that the S.A is dead against you and there seems nothing you can do to better your conditions just now. Therefore I say seek refuge in a country where you will have greater economic advantage. If there was nothing else to consider you could not hold your own against the great financial combines on the one hand and the flooding of the country with the sum of Europe who have been used to much closer living than you have. And see they are given all the best and paying positions in work. They help to lechlate laws for you to live under. They make themselves friendly and use you as long as it pays, and when they can afford if they help to kill you and all the laws are in their favor. OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS Your properties are subject to all kinds of abuses. Your children have not the equal privileges in school that we are made wealthy in every other kind. A child can no longer look to her as a parent to protect it. The woman no longer looks to a bit of colored husband for the protection do. Your daughters are exposed to the most little shame, and if you cannot protect your own lives and protect the how date you that you can protect the honor of your wife to daughter. Your 0-1 year barred mothers must lay the heads down in shame when treating their last. Your money counts, nothing now and pretty soon you will not have any to count. Leader malthing: God is your leader (not out and beyond and God will help you Banking one and all for these privileges to talk to you, I beg to knowledge myself your servant A PARTING SHOT I S. With every ship I see loads of white Americans visiting South America on exploring expeditions. I have only seen one Negro who seemed to be on the same business errand. And does this not condone all you say on your own behalf? I tell you men I pity the poor women and children more than I do the men. The Negro lost his last right as a citizen in America when he lost his last representatives. The further talk of a leader is more child's pay. Now, some of you are pleased to death just to have one man on the Supreme Court bench. You all are too easy to please—which you will find out some day ```markdown ``` Temperature Industrial and Collegiate Institute.

Falling from a scaffolding, which gave way September 25th in the afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock at the works of the Richmond Guano Company, Port Powhatan, below Fulton, Luther Simmons, about twenty years old, struck upon a crowbar, which had preceded him in the fall. It pierced the lower part of his back, passed through his body and came out of the side of his neck. The accident was one of the most horrible imaginable. With the huge piece of iron still in his body he was rushed to the Retreat for the Sick He was believed to be in a dying condition. An operation was after performed by Dr. H. Stuart*MacLoan and the bar removed. With other men, he was at work on the exterior of one of the fertilizer company's buildings. The frame work, which was not very high, collapsed, and all were thrown to the ground. Simmons had been standing near the crowbar, and when the supports gave away it fell before the young man. BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS. It struck the ground in an upright position, and just as it hit Simmon landed upon it. He uttered a shriek, and his fellow-workmen were almost panic-stricken when they gazed upon his form pierced by the six-foot levor. Blood was streaming in all directions and the injured man became unconscious a few seconds later An automobile was brought into service and he was hurried with all possible speed to the hospital WAS STILL LIVING. The condition of Luther Simmons, the young man from Wilmington, N. W., who was probably fatally injured Monday afternoon when he fell upon a crowbar which pierced his back passed through his body and came out of his neck last Tuesday night was said to be unchanged. Simmons is at the Retreat for the Sick and was said to have a slim chance for recovery. He was hurt when he fell from a scaffolding, which collapsed at the works of the Richmond Guano Company at Port Powhatan below Fulton. ```markdown ``` Typhoid Vaccine For Local Boards. Richmond Va., Sept 20, 1941 County boards of health desiring typhoid fever vaccine as a preventative of disease can hereafter get it from an accredited manufacturer through the State Department of Health, but they are cautioned not to use this newest weapon of science for any other purpose than to prevent disease This announcement made today by the Health Department, comes after careful deliberation. Experience has shown that typhoid vaccine if properly administered, will give a person immunity from typhoid fever for a limited period of time and is in consequence health officers say very helpful where typhoid appears in a community. The medical use of this vaccine at the first appearance of an epidemic will protect those who have not been exposed to the disease. The vaccine should never be used except for this purpose and is positively dangerous if administered to a person already suffering from typhoid fever. Under the arrangements just completed by the Health Department a stock of this drug will be kept on hand for sale at wholesale rates and can be ordered by local boards of health. Will it be tendered directly by the manufacturer. The vaccine will not be shipped to private practitioners except upon order of the local board of health. If the people will appreciate the powers and limitations of typhoid vaccine, said an official of the Health Department today "they can derive great benefit from its use. Our own field inspectors as well as a large number of the National Guard in the State have been vaccinated for typhoid, and the treatment has been attended by comparatively small discomfort. Unlike vaccination for smallpox, which gives immunity for a number of years the protection given by typhoid vaccine is for a limited period. The immunity varies with the person vaccinated but is seldom less than six months and may continue for two years. It must never be forgotten however, that vaccine is for the prevention of typhoid and not for its cure." $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Norfolk Va Sept 22 1911 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell Jr. Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias, N.
