KidnaDDeF Blows Out Brains.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 1S-Rather
than serve 20 years in the peni-
tentiary for kidnapping Kenneth
Beasley, the 9-year old son of
State Senator S. NJ. Beasley, of

temple and blew out his brains
this afternoon in his room at the

arrest him for the North Caro-
lima authorities, for being a fu-
gitive from justice.

Carolina yesterday denied Harri-
son a new trial. He was out on
So, 900 bail. The chief of police
of Norfolk this afternoon receiv-
ed a telegram from Solicitor
Ward, of Elizabeth City, author
izing the arrest af Harrison as
a fugitive from justice. Five
minutes after the chief received
the message he sent a detective
to the Gladstone Hotel. The
telegrama stated that Harrison
had threatened to kill himself
and that the officers had best be
careful and disarm him if posi-
BILE. A bell boy was sent to Har-
sons room to tell him that he
was wanted at the telephone.
He refused to come.
Before the bell boy reached
the stairway to tell the officer, a
pistol shot rang out. The officer
and hotel employer rushed into
the room where they found the
man lying across the bed with a
bullet wound in his head. His
brains were oozing out on the
bed clothing. A physician was
called and the injured man rush
ed to st. Vincent's Hospital,
where it was declared he coulC
not survive.
When told of the shooting,
daughter of Harrison. Maggie
Gallop. broke down and became
almost hysterical. She declared
that she had been expecting thai
something would happen. Har
r.ison's wife was also in the city
with her daughter, Mrs. Gallop
She said that her husband wa;
J innocent of the crime. my
husband was at home asleep the
night Kenneth Beasley was kid
mapped. He knew nothing
about the crime, declared Mrs
Harrison.

Under Bond for BlockadIng.

Newton Dorset, who lives
several miles north of the city
and is now sc years of age, was
given a preliminary hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner
Moye Wednesday morning. He
was sent to the federal court un-
der bond of $100, which was
given and he was discharged.
This case developed several
days ago but Dorsett was not i'm
mediately arrested. The reven-
ue officers found a still on Mr..
Dorsett's place, this still not be-
ing very far from his home and
it is said that from the still to
the hog pen there was a well de-
fined path. The officers arrest
ed Eugene Dorsett soon after the
raid. but as the mother of Eu-
gene and wife of the man tried
Wednesday was very i'll the elder
of the Dorsetts was not arrested.
Since then Mrs. Dorsett has
died, her death occurring sever
al days ago and a notice of the
death appeared in the Recorder.
Wednesday followed the arrest
of o d man Dorsett. He made
no attempt to escape, in fact the
officers did not think that he
would leave and fer that reason
his arrest was not as prompt as
otherwise would have been ne
case.

CATTLE-Receipts or cattle were very
large this morning but trains were so late
that at 10 o'clock In the morning not to
exceed half of the estimated receipts were
In sight. AS result the market was pro-
longed through the day, IL being late In
the afternoon before anything like CLEAR
ance could be effected II was midday
before the buying and selling was really
under way.
Owing to the large receipts and the none
too favorable advices from other selling
points the market on beef steers was slow
and anywhere from weak to 10c lower than
yesterday. The fact that the quality OF
the cattle was generally poor and of the
kind not calculated to stimulate free buy
ing added to the dullness.
Cows and heifers were also slow and
generally 5q1oc lower than yesterday.
The most active department of the mar
ket was the trade In stockers and feeders.
The country is still eager for good. fieshy
feeding cattle and the demand for such
was very brisk There were a good many
country buyers in, besides local spectators,
so that the market opened early and the
desirable cattle changed hands about as
fast as they were ready to be shown and
at steady prices. Inferior kinds of feeders
and trashy stock cattle as matter of
course were slow. owing to the number
here and TO the dullness prevailing in other
departments OF the trade.
