Question of a Confession
Matter Of Divergent opin-
ions-May Save Father
bHUlAH B|nFORD MAY
MAKE SCENE At BURIAL
Sacrament of Lords Supper Admin
istcred to Condemned Man in Death
Cell Yesterday-Beattie Prepared to
Nest His Fate Calmly.

richmond. Va. Nov. 23.-Beulah
Btnford, the II year old girl for the
love Of whom Henry Clay seattie is
alleged to have murdered his wife, Is
said to have appeared here today. II
ID reported that the Beattic family
are afraid the girl will make a scene
at the simple funeral. A search is
being made for her.
Beattie awoke at the usual time this
morning on what by law was his last
day Of life. Shortly after daybreak
tomorrow he will go to the electric
chair for the murder Of his wife.
There were no signs Of a breakdown
today. the young man dressing with
the same fastidious care he has taken
since entering the prison and the
death cell. Neither Beattie's attor-
neys nor relatives believe he WILL con-
fess. Rev. John A. Fix, Beattie's
spiritual adviser. seems to take an
other view. Today he said:
IF he is guilty. feel reasonably
certain that he will acknowledge ali.
TO go to his death with q lie on
his lips would be sacrilege and Beat
tie Is at peace with his Maker"
Beattie, from the first, however,
has sought to spare his aged father,
and 1t is question whether the con-
denmed man does not consider that
he owes 1t to his father. to whom he
has brought the pain and disgrace,
to die with sealed lips.
Beattie yesterday received the sac
rament of the Lords supper. He
professed religion and told his spirit
ual advisers that he faced the un-
known with composure. Although
Beattie is subdued in demeanor, the
wonderful nerve that thus far has
sustained the condemned man re-
mains.
The sacrament was administered to
him with all due solennity in the
death cell In the penitentiary.
Reports that Beattie's iron nerve
had broken have been disproved.
During the desperate efforts made for
a new trial and for a reprieve at the
hands of the governor Of the state,
the high teflalpn under which the
convicted. man labored stretched his
urally he was irascable and given to
sudden fits Of anger. But these have
disappeared.
That Beattie now is resigned to his
fate is proved by remark to his
guard today, when the suggestion was
made that Governor Mann might
grant reprieve at the eleventh hour.
LET us get it over WITH" Beattie
is declared to have said. IF 1t has
to be, the sooner 1t is ended the bet
ter"
The elder Beattie within the past
few hours has paid a secret visit to
Governor Mann in a final despairing
effort to gain the governors inter-
ference. 1t was unavailing. Cover.
nor Mann will let the law exact its
toll. unless within the few hours be-
fore the younger Beattie is led to the
chair he should experience a change
of mind. This is regarded as almost
outside the hange of possibility.

MINERS ARE LOYAL.

In obedience to orders issued by the
national board 10000 miners in eastern
Ohio and the Pittsburg district removed
their tools from the mines Saturday and
will not return to work until the oper.
ators who have mines in the Tuscarawasi
Ohio, field settle the strike which started
there year ago next month, when the
companies, after settling on the terms
of the Cincinnati agreement. repudiated
the contract and closed their mines.
Many of the 10000 miners thus called
out are not in sympathy with the strike,
having no grievance against their EN-
ployers, but are loyal to their organiza
ton and quit. although they know il
means 100000 weekly in wages and a
possible lockout, as the companies at
fected threaten to close their mines and
buy coal for contracts from the non-union
fields of West Virginia.
The strike was called by the national
miners board because the operators In
this field have filed orders for their Tus
caravans mines with coal mined here on
the same terms they refused to accept
in the Tuscarawas field.
