CHESTERFIELD COU r T.
HOUSE, Va, Aug. 21. = Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., pale and nervous
but otherwise showing no sign of
emotion, settled himself stolidly
In his chair beside an array of
consel in the little old courthouse
here today when the court refus-
ed to grant a stay of trial on the
Indictment for murder of his wife,
Mrs. Louise Wexford Owen Beat
tie, on the Midlothian pike near
Richmond, July 18.
The attorneys for the defense
urged a weeks delay but Judge
Watson overruled the motion.
Beattie was called to the bar OF
the court and his lawyers moved
to quash the Indictment. This
also was denied. Beattie then en-
tered his plea of not guilty.
Beulah Binford, the 17-year-
old girl who bore Beattie a son
and for whose sake he is said to
have killed his wife, was not pres
ent. The authorities, deeming
her presence unnecessary, left her
in the Henrico county jail.
The crowd inside and out Of
the tiny courtroom received the
courts order with a buzz of sat-
isfaction. 1t meant that their
long journeys from all parts of
the country near here would not
come to naught. They thronged
the building and gathered about
the windows and doors, intent
upon getting every word spoken.
Beattie seemed to enjoy the at
tention he attracted. He arrived
IN an automobile from the county
Jail and smiled with an air of
superiority on the throng that
greeted him.
Beattie's parents displayed the
only sign Of gloom. Their sad
expressions were In decided con-
trast to the eager countenances of
the spectators and court officials.
The defense intends to attack
the statement of Paul Beattie al
leging that he did not tell the
whole truth in saying that he
bought a shotgun for his cousin
which was later found to have
been the weapon with which Mrs.
Beattie was killed.
Ten Jurors were temporarily ac-
cepted, Counsel for the defense
asked only few questions.

President Taft this afternoon
signed the bill admitting Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood.
Only the refusal of the two ter
ritories to comply with the condi-
tions imposed by congress can now
operate to prevent them from en-
tering the Union In about three
months.
Under the provisions of the bill,
New Mexico must veto the pro-
posal of making it's constitution
more susceptible to amendment.
Arizona is required to eliminate
the recall of judges provision
from its constitution.
These steps taken, the election
of state officers and congressman
must then be held.

About fifty patrons OF the West End
School and property owners Of West

H III, school superintendent Of Fairfax
county, which was forwarded on Mon
day. The petition has for its object
the reappointing Of Miss Eva CowIing,
the former ptimcipa! in her origina
position az such beginning next term
1t sells forth that, whereas Miss CoWiing
has taught in that school fur Tie past
twenty two years and shown herself TO
be in every way capable uf holding the
position, aHd since in the previous
hearings, all evidence has been intro.
duced ir her defense, the signers holl
the opinion that it is Tor the beltarment
OF the school that SHE be reappointed.
ii will be remembered that Miss
Covlng Was dism ssed by the Fairfax
officials last December and several
meetings have been held since to in
Guire into the cause OF the dismissal
but no satisfactory result has been ac-
complishcd. The opinion is expressed,
however, that Mr.. Hall cannot possibly
gnore the petition.
