Received Sacrament Of Lords Supper in
 the Death Cell Yesterday
NOW FULLY RESIGNED TO HIS FATE
"The Sooner it is Ended the Better,' He Tells Jail Guard-Father Makes Final Dsspairing Appeal to Governor-Jury of Twelve to Witness Execution To- rnorrow-Numerous Murder Trals Now in Progress

Richmond, Va, Nov. 22.-Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., the youthful wife mur- derer, received the sacrament of the Lord Supper today. He professed re- that he faced the unknown with equanimity. Although Beattie is sub dued in demeanor. the wonderful nerve that has thus far sustained the con demned man has not deserted him.
 Sacrament in Death Cell.
 The sacrament was administered in the death cell in the state penitentiary this afternoon. Rev. John J. Fix, the Presbyterian minister, who has labOred with Beattie since his condemnation, Dennis of South Richmond. The only other person was the prisoners aged and broken n-hearted father. The viz ilance of the death watch was not the guards withdrew to the corridor.
 Resigned to His Fate.
 Reports that Beattie has broken down have been disproved During the desperate efforts made for new trial and fer . reprieve from the gov convicted man labored was of the ut most character. Naturally he was irascible and given-to sudden fits of anger. But these have disappeared. That Beattie is now resigned to his fate is proved by a remark to his guard today when the suggestion was I1ade that Governor Mann might grant a reprieve at the eleventh hour.
 Let us get it over with,'s Beattie is said to have said. s'If it has to be, the sooner it is ended the better.'
 Father Appeals to Governor.
 The elder Beattie within the past few hours has paid a secret visit to Governor Mann in a final despairing ence. It was unavailing. Governor Mann will let the law be carried out unless within the few hours before the younger Beattie is led to the death chair he should Experience change of mind This is regarded as almost outside the range of possibility.
 Twelve Men to Witness Execution.
 Invitations have been sent to the the jury in the death chamber Friday morning. Under the law, the witnesses must present themselves at the prison before seven o'clock that morning. shortly thereafter Beattie will be led from his cell to the chair Within ten minutes at the most the jury will be trooping from the chamber of death.
 GoverRor Delused with Letters. The same mails that bore the invi- sAtions to the witnesses brought more than 100 letters to Governor Mann. Some of the writers commended his policy of non-interference with the ma ndate of the law. Others hysteri- caIly called upon him to intervene. To none or them was any attention paid.
 Still Reads Sporting Page.
 Beattie spent the day in reading. While much of his reading is of a re- Iigious nature, he maintains still his keen interest in the daily newspapers paying especial attention to the sport ing pages His appetite, so his guards say, is excellent and he displays no abnormality either mentally or phys ically. Unless there is a sudden break 1 down Beattie will walk to his doom unafraid.
