BEATT|E GUILTY OF MURDER
When Sentenced to Die on November
4, He Betrays No Feeling and
Tries to Cheer Father.

Chesterfield Court House, Va
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., was on Fri
day found guilty by a jury of having
murdered his wife, and sentenced to
be electrocuted on November "a.
The twelve Virginia farmers who
held his fate in their hands took only
%ifty-seven minutes to find him guilty
of murder in the first degree. They
were SO eager to make known their
judgment that when asked for it they
did not merely allow their foreman
to reply, but they chorused it, all
twelve: Guilty-guilty-guilty!"
Young Beattie stood motionless
with his hands at his sides, hi. shout
ders squared, his head thrown back,
his eyes directed straight forward.
Not a tremor. not a blink betrayed
fear or regret. He was magnificent
In his defiance of death.
A few minutes later, when Judge
Watson, with a tremble in his voice,
solemnly sentenced him to be electro
cuted Friday, November 4, he stood
quite as steadily, and at the conclu.
sion OF the pronouncement nodded
easily as though to say: Yes, quite
So"
He was actually smiling and trying
to cheer his white-haired father as
the old man, with his arm about the
boys neck, walked across the lawn
with him, after all was over to the lit
tie Jail in the rear.
