CHESTERFIELD. Va, Sept. \. Henry Clay Beattie. IT,. tonight, was found guilty of murder in the first degree on the charge of murdering In, wife on the Midlothian turnpike the night of July 18th. The jury wa. out js minutes when they re turned with verdict and Judge Watson instructed them to rcadjourn to the chamber to agree upon the degree and that was done requiring only a few minutes
 Counsel for the defense moved to set aside the verdict on the ground that 1t was contrary to the law and the evidence in the case and mis- direction by the court. because of various rulings on the evidence ob' iected ,o by the defense. The court overrued this and motion for a new trial Judge Watson stated that the trial consisted almost entirely Of questions of fact and that no que'. tions of law entered materially into the iury's decision. The defense ask ed forty days 10 file petition for writ of error in the supreme court of appeals of Virginia. Attorney Wendenburgh asked that the defense be restricted to within few days of the meeting of the supreme court next November and Judge Watson decided that because the trial proper had been expeditiously conducted the defense request for delay was req sonable and granted n thirty days stay of execution. He then sentenced Beattie 10 be clectrocuted in Rich mond November 2ith.
 When told to stand up Beattie said "I have nothing to say" Later he told friends. "T have not vet lost hope" Court adjourned at 7s2. Q clock.

Jurors Pray


 The jurors kneeled in prayer before taking the first ballot and again prayed after reaching a verdict. When they reached the court they shouted "guilty" in unison instead of the GUS. tomary foreman's report. The prs. oner gayed steadily ahead. His eye. lids were sagged hut not blinked. After the perfunctory motions for n new trial Judge Watson delivered an impressive speech to the prisoner. He told the young man that such actions as the testimony showed had stained his (prisoner's) life and the com. munity in which he lived. He said when the trial was first started he had hoped Virginia would he cleared of the stigma attached to the crime and had hoped that the prisoner wonld be proven innocent but the evidence was overwhelming.
 "You have had a fair. impartial trial, Mir. Beattie. The jury has done what they considered their duty, there. fore you have been convicted of mur. der in the first degree and November 24tb, between the hours of sunrise and sunset, you must forfeit your life to the community May God have mercy upon your soul"
 Prosecutor Wendenburgh concluded his address few minutes after ! o'clock The jury began considera. tion of the ease at 5:2s P. m. with no doubt left but that their minds were already made up when they left the eonrt room. While out they spent the time praying, unburdeninp their conscienees and one another. While the jury was ont Beattie sat beside his aged father reading the sport page of q newspaper After s few minutes he folded the paper and concealed his face beneath if.

Nothing? The warning had been given
before the fact. yhe government had
taken the alarm. Bureaus were buzzing
already. Sooner or. later the accusation
would be running through the street,
swiftly and stealthily, from noble to mer-
chant, from cooiie to beggar, from end
to end of this seething oriental city
wherein he was a marked man! What
mattered it whether there were evidence
on which court would condemn him 2
The story of his huge coup i'm the bourses
would be told-woud rise up against him.
He remembered suddenly a tale he had
heard-of traitor to Japan cut to pieces
in tea house. An icy sweat broke out
on his limbs.
Where was there any refuge? On a

always ready for use. He could reach it
in an hour.

chauffeur. I'll drive, myself"
He took the wheel the other resigned,
threw on the clutch, and the clamorous
monster moved off down the quiet lane.
Past ranks of darkened shoji, with here
and there a barred yellow square; by
lanterned tea houses, alight and tinkling,
past solid, pacing watchmen in white
duck clothing, and sauntering groups of
night-hawk students chanting lugubrious
songs-faster and faster. till the chau-
feur clutched the seat with uneasiness.
The fever of fight was on his master
now. He began to imagine voices were
calling after him. From police-box
ahead a man stepped into the roadway
waving a hand. 1t was no more than a
worning against over-speed, but the ges-
ture sent a thrill of terror through the
big man at the wheel. He swerved

She had no feeling of awakening. but
all at once the visions were gone and
she lay open-eyed, swinging to the move

She fwSsted back the tawny brown

hastily as she could in the lurching space.
Then she opened the door and passed into

peril nearer, more fearful even than that
from which he had been flying.
There was an instants shocked calm,
like the silence which follows the distant
squirt of blue flame from the muzzle of a
Krupp gun. Then like it's answering de-
tonation-in such a nenacing roar as
might arise from the brink of an inferno
the silence of the quiet street burst
into awful sound.
Ten minutes later but a single lighted
shoji glimmered on the darkened thor

glass, in the midst of which lay an
inert, shapeless something that might
have been a bundle of old clothes fallen
from a scavenger's cart.
