lawyer with many gray hairs, and who has
prac,iced in this ity ever since the fire, was
sentenced yesterday by Judge Jameson to q
YEARS. imprisonment in the county jail, and
TO pay fine of $500
The charges against Beattie were, in brief
as follows: Some time ago Mrs Ada E. Cor
don sued for a divorce from her husband
The case came up in due time, and decree of
divorce was ma ie out, but not entered,
owing to charges on the part of the hus-
band that the evidence upon which
the divorce was granted was false Beattis,
it seems, had promised Mrs. Gordon the di.
vorce by certain day, and as it was not OBJ,
tainable by that time he gave the woman a
copy of the unentsred decree and assured her
that it was all right Another charge
against Beattie was that he had written a
letter to Mrs. Cor don referring to the fact
that she had based her cause upon desertion
and cruelty, but afterward psrjured testi-
mony to the effect that Gordon had been
guilty of adultery was introduced
The judge was very severe on the lawyer
in pronouncing sentence. Referring to the
letter mentioned bove he said: Liars should
have good memories, and they should not
write letters Nobody knows how
many women there may be, who, on account
of these fraudulent divorces, are neither
maid, wife, nor widow"
Then Beattie wis called to the bar and SEN
fenced His lip tl'embled and tears glistened
in his eyes. He was a pitiable sight as be
stood there with the sunlight glancing on his
silver-gray hair. After the judge had an
nounced the penalty the lawyer bowed and
walked back to h S seat. A stay of sxecu-
ton was granted to give time to prepare q
writ of error in be half of the accused
