# HE'LL CONFESS
Prosecution Offers Thirty Days
More Life as Inducement
to Slayer.

RICHMOND. Nov. 2O.-Henry Clay
Beattie, jr.'s aged father and his sister
and brother are clinging to a last shred
of hope that the young murderer's life
ny yet be saved through a
ton of the sentence by Governor Mann.
This final resort exists in a second ap-
peal to clemency to be made to Gov
ernor Mann today by a corterie of
clergymen and women who are mill
family opposed TO capital punishment.
The rumor. is strongly current that
he wife-slayer has made a. confession
to his clergyman. but Mr.. Dennis re-
fuses to say whether Beattie did or did
not confess.
Oh said Beattie to one of his keep
ers, "I1l be where some of these people
who denounce me so much will never
get; I'm going to heaven. l feel sure
of it,
The only hope that Beattie may have
for a respite of thirty days rests with
himself. IL he should see At to make a
clean breast of his crime and announce
his repentance Ind remorse, 1t K highly
probable that Special District Attorney
W~endenburg and Louis Scherer, the
railroad detective who brought him to
Justice, will personally go to the gov
ernor and s that he be given an
other month of life In which funsher.to.
prepare himself religiously for his
death.

and heartfelt prayers for the eternal
repose of the sou of u departed
friend and brother. This is in accord
with the S%criptural injunction that it
is a holy and wholesome thought to
pray for the LEAD that they may be
loosed from their sins.
However good and worthy a mans
life ma have been. there will always
be some sins to be expitated before he
can hope to be admitted to the enjoy
ment of the beatifc vision. Scripture,
traditions and the teachings of the
church assures that we, by our pray
ers, can be of avail to shorten the
period of suffering to be undergone by
those who have preceded us through
the portals of death. In this spirit
we have assisted at the offering of the
holy sacrifice for the soul of our be-
loved pastor, fellow citizen and friend.
Our arnes prayer has been and will
long continue to be eternal rest, grant
unto him, o Lord, and may perpetual
light shine upon him.
Monsignor Kelly himself. the most
modest, amiable and genial of men,
would have been the last to admit that
he had n especial merits either as a
priest or as a citizen. He would have
deprecated and deplored any words of
eulogy in his regard. But on ar oc-
casion such as this we are justified in
.disregarding his wishes, for his life,
character and achievements are a mat
ter of public record. They are a pre-
cious legacy and we, his heirs and
legatees, have q duty to appraise them
at their true value so that We may
feel duly grateful to h donor and
utilize them for the same high and
noble purposes which animated and in
spired him throughout his useful and
all too brief career.
why is his death a Loss to all our
fellow citizens? We must remember it
of the priesthood, such as I have men
toned, hat Monsignor Kelly mani
Tested the depth and the breadth of hts
Christian faith and love. In becoming
a priest, he had not laid aside his hui
mainly he had not tempted to stifie his
generous emotions of sympathy for the
sufferings and sorrows to which multi
tudes of men, women and children are
subject in the midst of a world in which
the passions of pride, avarice and sen
suality so often induce the strong to
Cypress and exploit the weak. the poor.
the unfortunate who comprise so large
a portion of mankind. However, vivid
ly he realized the meaning of the words
of Christ: What doth it profit a man
to gain the whole world and suffer the
loss of his soul. he nevertheless bore in
mind that the same divine Saviour had
as the evidences of His divinity
works of mercy and beneficence to the
and needy and had declared
Whatsoever you do for these My least
ones, We do unto Me-" AS a priest and
a follower of Christ, therefore, has felt
ii his duty from the very beginning of
his career to labor for the temporal, as
we'll as for the spiritual welfare of his
fellow creatures"

WEDDING SECRET 2 YEARS.

TRENTON, Nov. 20.-Although it
took place two years ago, the wedding
of Miss Hannah Riley, a prominent
Trenton girl, and Harry ]. TANNER, has
just been announced.
Fearing ridicule because of their
youth, the couple kept the marriage a
secret even from their most intimate
friends. At the time of the wedding,
June "a, 1909, the bride was 16 years
old and the bridegroom two years her
senior. A peculiar coincidence in con-
nection with the delayed announcement
of this marriage was that the brides
sister, Catherine I. Riley, told her
friends hat she had married Wilbert
Eiseley, october 8. 1910. The announce
ments came within a few minutes of
each other.

by the publication of official statistics.
These cover tn, first six months of

in the same period in 1910 the births
exceeded the deaths by 21.1S9.
