When Henry Beattie lay in his cell
last Sunday night and heard the Jurors
singing hymns, he must have seen his
finish. These simple old farmers God
fearing and awabidng. who filled up
their leisure with songs OF devotion
and who opened their sessions with
prayer. were not the men to look with
leniency upon the crimes OF a boy like
Beattie. They were just the type Of
men like Stonewall Jackson, who

The Conviction of Beattie.


The prompt return of a verdict OF
guilty in the Beatue trial gave an
added touch OF the dramatic to the
unfolding OF the shocking details Of
the most hainous crime which has come
before the Virginia courts in years.
The end came as no surprise. az COURT
room sentiment had rapidly crystallized
during the closing stages of the trial.
Where conflicting opinions had held
the boards from. the outset, there now
was TO be noted settled conviction
that the defense had failed on every
vital point in the case, and that but
one theory was supportable on the evil
dence.
The Jury evidently did not come with
In the radius OF conflicting opinions
that assailed the public in the course
of the trial as to the prisoners guilt
and the probable action of the twelve
men IN the box. Beattie's failure to
make the facts as to the gun square
with his story OF a bearded stranger
firing the fatalShot marked the turning
point in the trial, and the equally dam
aging fact that he. could bring out not
the slightest reason why he should have
killed his wife lost him any sympathy
that might have been aroused on that
score.

Justice was to be done. The trial of
this case was remarkaiole from the be-
