through Bennington county, posing as
an agent for the Saturday Evening Post

nan, it is said, offered as an induce
ment or premium with the publication,
an edition of Poor Richards Phil

complaints, or himself became suspicious,
for be communicated with the magazine
proprietors and found that Wilson was
not their duly authorized representative.

land, and has been selling reading mat
ter. If he sold the Saturday Evening
Post while he was here, however, it
has not come to the attention of the
authorities. When arrested the agent de-
clared that he had never handled The

DOUBLE MURDER

fear of possible mob violence.
According to Marches he went home

to become known, Marchesi went to q
woodshed, procured an axe, crept into
the house and chopped off the heads OF
the two lovers.

the arms of his slain wife, Marchesi
washed the blood from its face. carried
it to the home Of his brother and said

Few Months Ago.

Richmond. Va, Nov. 2T,-By the grave

buried in Maury cemetery shortly after
sunrise yesterday There was brief
service at the residence, attended only
by members of the family and eight
friends, who served as pail bear
ers and then the procession moved
through the silent streets of South Rich
mond. The Rev. John j. Fix, who prayed
with Beatte just before he was led into
the death chamber at the penitentiary
Friday morning, read the service of the
Presbyterian church.
To guard against possible annoyance,
the exact hour of the funeral was kept
secret until midnight Saturday night and
consequently there were no crowds
around the Beattie home or cemetery.
Police were on duty, but the hearse and
seven carriages had reached the grave be-
fore the city was astir When the bur-
ial was concluded, H. G. Beattie, sr., left
with Douglas, his son, and Hazel, his
daughter and two aunts of the murder
er. The fathers grief was intense.
The pail bearers, boyhood friends Of
Beattie, were asked by him to serve.
Several of them had testified in his de-
Tense at the trial and one was his best
man when he and Louise Wexford Owen
were married, exactly one year from
the date he pleaded not guilty of muir
der in court A florists wagon, com
pletely filled with flowers, entered the
cemetery gates just after daylight and
yesterday the mound of earth was hid
den beneath chrysanthemums and inn
mortales.
After it became known yesterday that
the funeral had already been held, a
tremendous crowd visited the cemetery.
Double ropes were stretched around the
Beattie section, and two mounted police
men in addition TO officers afoot kept the
crowds back. There was no disorder,
however, and no attempt to take away
the flowers.

Because He Has Found Sister After Half
Century.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 27 Separated
for more than half century, but re-
united through the efforts of brother
and sister who live across the ocean,
William Wilson of Island Pond. Vt, and
his sister, Mrs Catherine Wallace of
this city. are spending a few days to-
gether at Mrs. Wallace's home, TIA
Wilcox street, N. r., Baltimore.
It was in 1860 that Mr.. Wilson, just
then arrived at the age of manhood,
left his home in County Tyrone, Ire,
to tempt his luck in America. His little
sister, Catherine, bade him good bye He
went to Massachusetts, and afterward
took up farming in Vermont. His sister
followed him across the ocean seven
years afterward and made her home in
Philadelphia. In the meanwhile she had
been corresponding with her brother and
had hopes of seeing him soon.
She continued writing to him while
she was in Philadelphia, but a short
time before her departure for Baltimore
Mr.. Wilson moved and though Mrs. Wal
lace was given his new address, she lost
it. Mrs. Wallace was unable to send her
new address to her brother and the let

That was 35 years ago and in all the
intervening years no word passed be-
tween the two. In the meantime Mr..
Wilson was prospering and becoming a
man of influence in his community. By
his thrift he managed TO make his way
in the world and become the possessor

his section of the state.

sister. but all in vain. A short while
ago he celebrated his 72nd birthday and
determined to make final effort to find
his sister. He wrote to his brother in
England, Isaac Wilson, 76 years old,
who in turn wrote to his sister, Mrs.
Martha Busby, who was still living on
the old homestead in the north of Ire
land. Through her it was learned that
Mrs. Wallace was living in this city, and
this information was sent to Mr.. Wilson.
A few weeks ago he came to Baltimore.

ATTACK ON NANKING
BY GREAT FORCE

Swarm With Revolutionaries, De-
termined to Take Stronghold

Nanking, Nov. 27.--After more than
half century of silence the hills over
looking the walled city Of Marking, the
ancient capital of China, swarm with
rcbellious forces eager for its occupation
and determined to take the stronghold
where the Manchus are making their
last stand south OF the Yang-Tse.

hours Sunday morning big guns spoke
repeatedly, while further up, along the
northeastern range from the top Of Pur-
pie mountain, overlooking the Ming
tombs, for Is mile semi-circle west

list is not large. General Wong, second

those killed
During the earlier part OF the day

view to recapturing their positions and
