LETTERS FROM HIS FRIENDS
REcITE THE RUIN THAT HAS BEEN

NEW YORK, May m-The CONNER

WHY MRS. BEATTY WANTS
HER HUSBAND HANGED.
SONS THAT LED HER TO SIGN
THE PETITION.
TO LET Law TAKE ITS COURSE
SAYS HE ONCE STRUCK HER, WAS
OF VIOLENT TEMPER, AND
THREATENED HER LIFE.

Special to the Register
CUMBERLAND, Md, May 11.-Mrs.
Catherine Beatty, of Terra Alta, w.
Va, who has the distinction of being
the only woman in the country to sign
petition to have her husband hanged,
is out in statement. Some months
ago, near Terra Alta. Wesley Beatty,
a wealthy farmer, went to a field
where his brother-in-law, David Nine,
was at work and shot him dead, be-
cause the latter had caused the arrest
of Beatty's son for stealing cider.
After Beatty was convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged his friends circu-
lated a petition to have the Governor
change the sentence to life imprison-
ment. The dead mans friends circu-
lated a counter petition to have the
courts sentence carried out. Beatty S
wife refused to sign the first petition
but signed the one to have her hus-
band hanged.
Having, as she says, been censured
for her conduct toward her husband,
she is out in public statement justi-
flying her conduct She stated that the
nlgnt before her brother was killed her
husband was up and down all night,
and was very angry, but she was afraid
to speak to him on account of his mean
disposition. Sixteen years ago. she al
leges, he struck her twice with his fist,
knocking her into a wood box. She
then told him that she wouldn't live
with him any longer. He secured a
gun, and in order to save her life, she
promised to remain with him.
She further alleges that her husband
tried to get a gun one time to kill a
man named Golf, but failing to secure
the weapon he threw hammer and
struck Golf in the back.
She refers to her dead brother in the
highest terms and as an instance of his
goodness says that the day before his
death, he gave a minister eleven ell
lars
She concludes her statement by say
ing: This is why | cannot help Yves.
| did not expect to ever tell these facts,
but l am compelled to do so in self
justification"

THE FORMER ARCHBISHOP
Wanted at Manila by Practically All
the Native Priests.

the Native fffests.
MANILA. May 11-A petition is on
its way to the Pope, signed, practically,
by all the native priests against the re-
turn here of Archbishop Chapelle as ad-
mlnistrator and favoring the return of
Archbishop Nozaleda, who although in
Rome, is still Archbishop of Manila, his
resignation never having been accepted.
The opposition to Archbishop Chapelle
is chiefly on account of his expressed
intention to encourage the establish
ment of American priests in the Philip
pines. The petition cites an American
military order prohlDiling the placing
of ecclesiastics over people who are OPP
posed to them. There is no probability
of Archbishop Chapelle's return or his
transportation from the Archbishopric
of New Orleans.
The petition indicates a change of
sentiment with reference to Archbishop
NozaIeda. The question is whether the
people will approve of it. The friar
issue is dwindling. If the friars return
to the few localities where they are
wanted it is believed this will not con-
Germ the government, unless unlawful
acts are committed. The question of
the ownership of the friars' lands will
be settled through suits brought by the
complaining towns, rather than on the
governments initiative.
Aguinaldo's life is quiet. He seldom
goes out and is always accompanied by
a guard, as there is some apprehension
OF his assassination by friends of Gen
Luna or personal enemies

were married at midnight.
When they returned to college the

This was like torch to a powder

was disgraceful. He added that they

LOST IN THE SHUTTLE.
Governor Nash and the Ohio Con-
gressmen Completely EcIipsed by
President Mckinley.

President MCKINNEY.
DEL MONTE, Cal, May 11.-Ohio
Congressman and Governor Nashis
party en- route to San Francisco for the
launching of the battleship Ohio, have
clashed over question OF precedence.
Aalifornians have been cordial in their
reception of the Ohio party, but, nat
urally. President Mckinley has receiv-
eu the most attention and Governor
Nash and his party, who were travelling
on a separate train, have been little
in the background.
The special bearing Governor Nash
and other Ohio people arrived here be-
fore daybreak and joined the presiden-
tial party. The chagrin that the guber-
Material party expressed over its al
legged mistreatment at Los Angeles be-
came more intense during the trip OF
the last twenty-four hours, and broke
out into open revolt at conferences in
the Hotel Del Monte.
Special cars bearing the Ohio Con-
gressmen were attached to the Ohio
special at Los Angeles. This seemed to
add to the ill-feeling of the Governor s
party, who complained that they had
been an annexed section to the presi-
denLld1 party anu now were given tHiIu
place. The Congressman seemed equal
ly dissatisfied with the new arrange
ment and finally it was decided that the
congressman should travel hereafter as
they had done before reaching Los An
geles. The cars OF the Congressman
accordingly were taken out Of the Ohio
special here and they left for San Fran
cisco at noon, while Governor Nash and
party left at 2 p. m. for San Francisco.
AS the two trains have different
routes on returning from San Francisco
there will be no more trouble with the
railroad schedules and receptions along
the way, but the Ohio people insist that
Governor Nash shall not be ignored
hereafter, as they insist he has been,
during the past three days.
