The meeting within the hall was

Cook and applauded his efforts.
Others hissed continually, with the
result that the two sides almost came
to blows.
The lecture, illustrated by means

MARTINsRURe, VIVA. FRIDAY NOVEMBER II. 1911
His Last Hope Gone

Richmond, Va, Nov. l5-With the
frank and emphatic statement that he
believed absolutely in the gunt Of
Henry Clay Beattie, jr, convicted in
Chesterfield county on September s Of
wife murder, Gov. Mann today refused
to commute the prisoners sentence to
life imprisonment or to grant him a
respite
The refusal of the governor TO inter-
fere with the sentence, which the su-
preme court declared on Monday to be
plainly right, means that Beattie will
die in the electric chair at the State
penitentiary on November "a.
Being aware that final decision
would be reached in his case today,
BeattIe, in the death cell, waited ex.
pectantly for some word from the gov.
ernor's office. His gray. haired father,
utterly broken in spirit and strength,
who notified him on Monday that an
appeal had been denied, was spared
the ordeal of conveying second mes.
sage that all hope was lost.
The Rev. Benjamin Dennis, an Epis-
copal minister, who had interceded in
the young mans behalf, went quickly
and quietly to the prison to inform
him that every possible effort TO save
him had failed. Beattie heard the an
nouncement in silence, though he was
visfbly affected.
Later in the afternoon his father, his
brother, and his young sister called TO
see him, but remained only short
time. What passed among them only
the guard knows, and the penalty for
disclosing the informotion is dismissal
from service.
Unlike the supreme court, which
filed no written opinion in refusing a
writ of error, Gov. Mann gave out
statement in which he said that Beat
ties appeal was made with purpose,
if possible, of avoiding the consequences
of crime of when he knows he is
guilty. The governor also stated that
the so-called affidavit of Paul Beattle
was not worthy of consideration as
evidence
