of his automobile after the shooting
but in passing over some railroad
tracks not far from the scene it had
been jolted out and was picked up
later by negress. This gun, which
Beattie alleged had belonged to the
mysterious highwayman, proved the
means of sending the young man to
the electric chair.
At the coroner's inquest the weap-
on was identified by Paul Beattie, a
second cousin of young Henry, as the
weapon he had purchased for Henry
with money furnished by the latter
ter the inquest. This was on July 21
and on August 10, one month after the
day of the murder the trial was be-
gun before Judge Walter A. Watson,
in the picturesque little Chesterfield
county court house, sixteen miles
from here
The jury was made up almost en-
tirely of farmers, and on this fact
Beattie based his claim that he had
been convicted not for the murder of
his wife, but because of his relations
with Beulah Binford, a notorious
young woman. He insisted to the last
that a jury composed of city men
would have freed him. Beattie was
defended by H. NJ. Smith, Jr., and Hill
Carter. The prosecution was con

at all times and with powerful back
ing. could have achieved the success
of Mississippi College, and the same
necessary forces that have made that
success possible will be behind the
new institution located in Hatties-
burg, safe guarantee of its future.
The victory won by the Hatties-
burg delegates to the state conven-
tion and the many loyal friends from
other parts of the state, did not come
without the stiffest kind of fight, re-
quiring unfagging interest, enthusi-
asm, aggressiveness and generalsh1p.
Jackson was there with its PROPOSE
ton as it is in all things of the kind,
and following the rule of past fights
the capital city was downed by the
South Mississippi Metropolis and the
coming city of the state. Having been
through the thick and thin of many
such battles in past few months the
Hattiesburg representatives were de-
termined on victory in this case. To
Rev. E. D. Solomon and M. P. L. Love
is due much of the credit for the sue
cess of the undertaking. These gen
tlemen were ably assisted by the local
delegates and were given valuable as
sistance by Rev. L. P. Gates of Laurel
Prof. Hardy, of the A. & NJ College
and others.
The proposition placed before the
convention was that Hattiesburg give
the church the old South Mississippi
College site, now the Mississippi Wo
mans college, the two dormitories
and fifteen acres of land; ten acres
adjoining the present property and
four acres located nearby; all free
of debt or incumbrances. When the
proposition was laid before the con
yention by M. P. L. Love, 1t was sucf
an attractive one that Jackson's prop
osition was withdrawn and a motion
made to refer the whole matter to ;
committee to be reported at the mex
convention, which would have giveI
Jackson a chance to renew its propo
t sition at the next meeting. It wa
around the motion to defer actor
that the fight waged for four hours
victory finally coming to Hattiesburl
, by vote of 103 to SO. The vote to re
fer the matter to a committee wa
, / lost by the close vote of SO to S4 AM
as this was the crucial test, it may b

2 votes 1t is reported that some of
the delegates who fought Hattiesburg
hard tried to make a motion that the
selection be made unanimous, but
were prevented by Rev. Solomon
gloriously singing praise God from
Whom all blessings flow," being join
ed in the praise giving by the other
delegates, which no doubt constituted
the unanimity.
The securing of the college for Hat
tiesburg has a double significance, in
that it will make for greater success
for the encampment, which. will be
held here every summer and the two
will be of incalculable benefit to each
other.
At today's session of the conven-
ton, 81 trustees for the new college
will be appointed, nine each to serve
for terms of one, two and three years.
The management, control and policy
of the institution will devolve on this
board of trustees and the church will
select them from the leading mem
bers of the denomination. Just when
the church will take charge of the
school has not been decided, but the
offer carried with it immediate con-
troll, or that it be turned over to the
convention at the close Of the pres
ent session. Nor is it known what
will be done in the way of an endow-
ment for the first year or what i'm
provements will first be undertaken
However it is a certainty that the
school will be amply provided for, new
buildings erected as needed, and
the work will be of the highest
standard. The present value of the
property is estimated at many thous
and dollars and is magnificent ini

Band of Boys Faces
A Charge of Robbery

Following a series of depredations
and robberies that have puzzled the po-
lice of the Fifth precinct for six or
aght months, and upon occasions have
made it necessary to call in the aid of
Central Office detectives, a band of five
white boys, whose ages range from ten
10 sixteen years, will tomorrow face
charges of robbery in the Juvenile
court.
The boys were arrested at their homes
shortly before midnight last night. They
are Charles Reed, sixteen, and Harry
Reed, fifteen, of 40S Fourth street south
east; Truman Beckett, thirteen Will
fam Beckett, twelve. and Lawrence
Beckett, ten, of 3l3 street southeast.
Petty robberies have been frqunt in the
neighborhood of Fourth and d streets
southeast for several months. The
latest complaint was made by j. T. ID.
Pyles. In the past three weeks Pyles'
store at 412 Fourth street southeast. has
been entered through broken window
a score OF times. Soar, groceries, and
meats have been stolen
An investigation OF the robbcries by
Policeman Smith led TO the arrest of
the five boys. The police say some
confessions have been made. More ar
rests are expected.
