EXPECT VERDICT
IN BEATT|E CASE
( DURING NIGHT
Trial Of Young virginian For
Wife Murder Nearing End
PAUL AND BEULAH RELEASED
Man viii Become Vaudeville Actor
and Woman viii Pose for Moving
Pictures

Chesterfield, Courthouse, VT Sept
S,-Attorney Hill Carter with plea
of both pathos and argument yester
day, for five hours in hot courtroom
at Chesterfield Court House, Va,
sought to secure the acquittal OF
Henry Clay Beatie, Jr, indicted for
the murder of his wife. At sunset,
Mr.. Carter concluded, and today the
great battle OF the trial, the clash be-
tween Harry NJ. Smith, Jr, of the de.
tense and l.. c. WendenbuTg of the
commonwealth, close friends and not
able lawyers, is scheduled, a verdict
being expected some time during the
| night.
j. Nj. Gregory, who opened the argu-
ment for the prosecution, laid particu-
lar stress on the awfulness of the
crime, the admissions of the accused
| himself on the witness stand as to
| his relations with Beulah Binford
and his continuance of them notwith-
standing his marriage and the birth
of a child The prosecutor appealed
to the moral and religious senses of
the jurymen and bespoke in bitter
| terms the aversion of society and the
nation to the life of dissipation de-
picted by young Beattie. his chum,
Sampson, and numerous other wit
nesses.
Quoting from the scripture and
pointing out wherein the character of
Beattie had been most revolving in
its departure from the accepted stan
dards of morality, Mr.. Gregory re
viewed the details OF the double life
admitted by the accused while on the
witness stand, and held forth Beulah
Binford, the girl of the underworld
as the motive for the crime. He con
cluded with the question of how the
gun bought by Paul Beattie for his
cousin happened to be the identical
weapon that was used in killing Mrs
Beattie. His speech occupied barely
an hour and a half, but the one that
followed by Mr.. Carter for the defense
was many times as long.
Beulah Binford and Paul Beattie
detained as witnesses for the common
wealth in the case, were released
from Henrico county jail yesterday
by order of Judge Walter A. Watson
OF the CHeSleTntlu circuit COuIN. Idu
Beattie went at once to his home ant
remained there all the morning will
his family, greeting neighbors an'
friends and enjoying his liberty to TIT
fullest degree. He says he intends L
do nothing else for a month and thel
he is going to New York to so int
vaudeville, having received offer
that he is too poor to refuse"
Beulah Binford remained in prisol
until later in the day, packing he
clothing and toilet accessories. 500
after IL o'clock the cause of her dc
lay was disclosed in the appearance
at the Jail OF agents OF the New Yor'
film company. They held privat
conference with the woman and In
little while she announced that sh
had signed a contract with them an
would go with them to New York I
pose for moving picture production:
She left the Jail at 11.S5 a. m. an
took the noon train for New York.

Second Defeat for Claimants of Base
ball Championship Of State
of Vermont

The former Bennington baseball
team shut out Brattleboro yesterday
by score of to 0. The Twin State
Champs" were outclassed in every
department Of the game which was
marked by some brilliant fielding on
the part of the visiting team. Brat
tleboro made but four hits off Burns
while Williams who was on the
mound for the Champs" was touched
up for seven singles. The game was
remarkable in that Burlington who
caught Burns didn't have a putout.
Burns himself had five assists which
would tend to show that Brattleboro
] was hitting the ball into the diamond
but was unable to put the sphere on
safe ground.
AS the former Bennington players
have won two out of the three games
the little scheme whereby the Brat
tleboro association attempted to man
age a state championship all by itself
and annex Vermont title has fallen
through: Under the circumstances 1t
looks as though 1t were up to Brattle-
boro to declare the former Bennington
players to be the champion baseball
team of the state, what? The score:

ThereAre at least three reasons why
a man that smokes cigarettes is less
desirable EN- ploye than the man who
does not smoke them. First, because
it takes considerable time to make
and smoke the things. Much valu-
able time is lost to the employer in
this way. In the second place a man
who smokes cigarettes endangers prop
erty. Many mysterious fire could be
explained if cigarettes could only talk.
And then in the third place cigarettes
render the smoker both inefficient and
undependable The day is already up
on us when the man who smokes cigar
cites is finding it hard to secure and
hold a job. And it will get harder.

GYPSUM DEPOSIT
NEAR WABUSKA

Matt Guthrie has located what may
prove to be valuable gypsum deposits a
couple of miles north of the Nevada and
California railroad tracks in the north
end of this valley. The ground lies
about three miles northeast of Wabuska.
and if the stuff proves valuable it can be
easily handled as it will be close to a
railroad. Samples of this gypsum can
be seen at this Office. They seem to be
of cement nature as they are tough
and not easy to drill. If the material
should be natural cement there would
be good market for it, as cement mills
are all over the country are having a
hard time to fill the orders they are re-
ceiving, and the demand for the mater
ial is on the increase.

Matt Penrose has fixed up fine dairy
room at his ranch and installed an en-
gine to run his separator and churn.
Bees are doing remarkably well this
season and crowding the keepers to
furnish supers for them to deposit the
honey in.
Some of our ranchers are very care
less about running water i'll the public
highway. The poorer the rancher the
more water he runs in the road.
Wabuska is very slow town; very
little drunkenness and no arrests on the
glorious Fourth. Nothing fast about
the place but the timepieces. 1t is also
a very classic town, many of the resi-
dents now being able to speak Greek
and Latin.
Judge Young has called the attention
of the Commissioners to the condition
of the Wabuska Jail He says the steel
tank where prisoners are confined is not
quite hot enough to roast beef in but it
is too hot to keep human being III,
The Judge obtained an order to have
the tank and Jail ventilated.
