BEATTE JURORS HUNTED
IN BYWAYS AND HIGHWAYS
OFFICERS Arc Securing the Country In
the Hope OF Finding unpreju-
diced Men.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 22.-Half
score OF sheriff's deputies secured
the outlying districts Of Chesterfield
county today for sixteen veniremen.
from whom the four remaining ten.
tative jurors will be chosen to try
Henry Clay Beattie on the charge OF
wife murder.
Close behind the deputies worked
the score of detectives employed by
the defense. Every precaution is be-
ing taken by Harry M. Smith and
Hill Carter, Beattie's attorneys, and
IL they can help II, no man who has
ever expressed an opinion as to the
charge against their client will take
his place in the jury box. The rec
ords of the twelve men already chos-
en- were scrutinized by detectives fol
the defense today, and II any of them
prove unsatisfactory. the precious
peremptory challenges of the defense
will be used.
Henry Beattie's exclusion yesterday
to the little brick court house, IA
miles away, frightened him up more
thar anything since his arrest, and
he hummed popular songs In his cell
at Henrico county jail today with
great zes.. But the strain Of confine-
ment il telling on his nerves and the
prison pallor shows in his face.
BeuIah Binford, the girl In the case,
today, pleaded for an automobile
ride. She grew restless under the
strain or her incarceration and beg.
ged for fresh air.
"You wouldn't let me go to Ches-
terfield yesterday" she complained
TO her jailor, when all those people
were out there TO see me. think
you might get permission to take
me out for an automobile ride, so
can breathe a little fresh air"
But the jailor was too busy.
Seek Anonymous Writer.
Detectives employed by the defense
searched for the author OF an anony-
nous letter received today The writ
err, a man, says he bought the gun
with which Mrs. Beattie was muir
dered. and declared he could prove IL.
He wrote detailed history OF the
weapon and closed his letter with the
confession that he killed the woman.
The remarkable detail exhibited In
the confession, such as the distance
from which the man says he shot
Mrs. Beattie, interested counsel for
the defense. E
The writer asserted that "at the
proper time he would take the stanl
and make public confession" and thar
he would have done so before, except
that he desired TO wind up his AFFAIRS
before giving up his liberty.

Wants Law Improved.

The Baltimore News. while favoring
direct primaries and the corrupt practices
act sees room for improving our present
laws along this line by limiting campaign
expenses. In this connection the News
says;
The opponent of the direct primary will
doubtless charge that method of selecting
candidates with the heavy expenses Of
campaigning, and it is true that it was
cheaper to hand a boss $40. 900 or SO for
3 campaign fund and let him pick out
candidates instead of having free-for-all
But It is useless to quarrel with the direct
primary. The people will never consent
TO 60 back to the old system No matter
what II might have offered in the way Of
economy before election, it was too costly
for the taxpayers after election. what
we need is more stringent corrupt
practices act. one that does not permit so
large an expenditure and the provisions
of which cannot be SO easily evaded. If,
then, the direct primary is found 10 be
too costly for the poor man there will
come demand for the State itself TO pay
larger share Of election expenses
