Sept. T.—For five long hours in a_hot and murky courtroom, Attorney Hill Car- ter, With a plea of both pathos and argument, sought the hearts of. twelve jurymen in an effort to secure: the ac- quittal of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indicted for the murder of his wife. Verdict Expected Tonight. At sunset Mr. Carter concluded and tomorrow the great battle-of the trial, the “clash between Harry M. Smith, Jr., of the defense, and L. C. Wen- denburg of the commonwealth, close friends and notable lawyers, is sched- uled, a verdict being expected some time during the night. Denounced Paul Beatti From the depth of an argument in which he unsparingly denounced Paul Beattie, cousin of the accused and principal witness against him, as a weakling and falsifier, Mr. Carter at times fairly shouted to the jury as he leaned over the bar, but when the day was drawing to a close his voice sank to & whisper of impassioned appeal. Spare the Father His Son. “If you gentleman of the jurs said in a measured tone, “can within the sanctity of your oath prevent the pressing of the poisoned chalice to the 1ips of this aged father, his heart already Dleeding from the stab of a dagger which took away a life, if you can, 1 say, spare him the son whom he loves so dearly, T ask vou within merey to bring in a verdict of not suilty. Elder Boattie Greatly Affected. The lean man of wrinkled brow and sunken cheeks who sat beside his ac- cused son dropped his eves and raised his fan to conceal the trembling -of his lips “and the huge gulps of emotion that followed. Young Beattie Speflbound. Young Beattie started hard at the | jurymen, his face w ike and still. For a moment there was silence in the courtroom. Then Judge Watson 1ook- ed at his watch, glanced through the windows at the long shadows on the greén, and without further comment, adjourned court until nine o'clock to- morrow morning when the final lap in the race for the life of Beattie will be run. The Judge’s Instructions. The day began with the reading by Judge Watson of the instructions to the jury, More vital than usual were they, particularly _as attention was drawn to the frailty of the allezed confession of Henry to Paul and the manner in which it came—in jail from an incarcerated witness to the com- monwealth's attorney. Other points in the story of Paul which related to the conversations of Paul or meetings of the two cousins alone unsupported by witnesses were held up as requiring a careful scrutiny. Stress on Beattie's Dissipation. J. M. Gregory, who opened the ar- gument for the prosecution, laid par- ticular stress on the awfulness of the crime, the admissions of the accused himself on the witness stand as to his relations with Beulah Binford, and his continuance of them, notwithstanding is marriage and the,birth of a child. The prosecutor appedled to the moral and religious senses of the jurymen and Dbespoke in bitter terms the aver- sion of society and the nation to the life of dissipation depicted by young Beattie, his thum Sampson, and nu- merous other witnesses. Beulah Binford the Motive. Quoting from the Scripture and pointing out wherein the character of Beattie had been most revolting in its departure from the accepted standards of morality, Mr. Gregory reviewed the details of the double life admitted by the accused while on the witness stand and held forth Beulah Binford, the girl of the underworld, as the motive for the crime. He concluded with the question of how the gun bought by Paul Beattie for his cousin happened to be the identical weapon that was used in killing Mrs, Beattie. Carter's Plea in Roaring Voice. His speech occupied barely an hour and a half, but the one that followed by Mr. Carter for the defense was many times as long. A man of girth and ‘great- stature, Mr. Carter over- towered the har, occasionaHy empha- sizing his remarks with wide, sweep- ing gestures and a roaring voice. Attack on Paul Beatti Most vigorous was his invective against the testimony of Paul Beattie. He characterized as childish the col- Tapse of Paul at the coroner's inquest and attempted to show that even the b grandfather had testified as to his poor reputation for truth and ve- racity. Many were the hypothetical questions he propounded to assert the improbability - of the murder by the young Husband. v Why Was Not. a Pistol Used? “Why,” he asked, “should this young man, if we are to believe Paul’s story, have someane else buy a shotgun and g0 about the attack on his wife in"this biundering, senseless fashion; why could-he not” have employed a pistol, practically an invisible weapon, and one to which he had easy access? And does hé look to you like the cold- blooded brute that committed this crime ?” Paul Feared He Would Be Blamed. Discrepancles—to his_mind—by the score, were instanced by MF. Carter as showing the inconsistency of Paul's story. The one explanation which I offered for Paul's course of action was the fact that Paul did buy a shot- sun for use on the hridge where he worked as a watchman and was alarm ed fouy days'later at ihe possibility of the crime heing “raced to his door, Clung to Highwayman Theory. ionaire Smuggle New York, Sept. 7.—Demand was made today by United States.

The gun was about to be traced to him. He was put in jail. Feur days afterwards he blossoms out with a statement which he said was the Whole truth, but which he subsequently: amended with a remarmable confession,. said to have been whispered to him by Henry. “Dare you convict an innocent man on the palsied words of a such & per- son? Verily, if you do_such a-thing, his spirit will rise like Banquo’s ghost and haunt you to your dying day. “Gun Never Given to Henry.” “The gun, T belleve, was hidden in the cement house and never given to Henry at all.

New York, Sept. 7.—If the protests that are-going up from prominent: clubwomen, actresses and other women well known in this city are to be tak= en as a criterion of the fecling of womankind in general, Beulah Binford will not_be heartily welcomed to the metropolitan stage as “an actress” oe anything else. When the news reach- ed here today that the young girl who has become notorious through her con- nection with the Beattie murder trial at Chesterfield had been liverated from jail at Richmond and had started north* to “go on the stage” many of the leaders of women in this city protest- ed that such an exposition of Miss Bin< ford would be “an insult to all woman= kind.” A 'local booking agent is credited with the statement that the Binford girl will appear at a Philadelphia the- ater next Monday. Asked as to her histrionic abilities, he sald her -mct probably would consist of a couple of songs. “It really does not matter she does.” he is alleged to have added, “so-long as the people have a Chance s to look at her.” A AMERICAN MAIL ON % WRECKED STEAMER Ovar 100 Pouches Destined for Bolivia on Board the Tucapel.
