The Girl Beat.

At a county fair held in Massachu-
sets, prize of $25 was offered to the
victor in pony race. Nine boys and
one girl entered for the event, and
the girl came out so far ahead that
some of the boys rode off the grounds
in disgust. Perhaps we may see the
day when girl will beat boy throw

Prosecution Takes Final Hand
In Grilling Youth Accused
of Murder.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Sept. s.-Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., on
trial for the murder of his wife, today
searched with unbroken gaze for hours
the expressionless faces of the twelve
country folk who hold his fate, for
some manifestation, however remote,
of yielding to the deep voiced appeal
of his attorney, Harry M. Smith. Jr.
1t was a stare of manifest anxiety.
But the jurors held their secret Some
of the eyes in the jury box followed
carefully the full gestured speech of
the tall man at the bar, earnestly be-
seeching them to consider the past
good character of the accused and the
of the murder being
committed "by a man of alertness and
intelligence"
Others of the jury looked distantly
through the window opposite them,
wearied of meeting the eyes of gap
ing crowd which for fortnight had
concentrated it's observation on them
Mr.. Smith reviewed the evidence
in detail and continued the impeach'
ment of Paul Beattie's testimony as
the keynote of his argument. He
spoke for four hours, concluding just
before the luncheon recess.
L. O. Wenderburg, Of the prosecu'
tion, began the closing speech of the
trial this afternoon.
Have you not thought" said Mr.
Smith, in conclusion, that verdict
of guilty means also the death of the
father and the disgrace of the little
sister? Moreover, near here, there is
little boy who cannot even lisp his
prayers. His mother is gone and
now you are asked to brand the faith
er as the coolest blooded assassin OF
the twentieth century. May God give
you wisdom to do your duty"
The ending Of the argument for the
defense at, the recess hour indicated
taht the case would go to the jury
about 5 or 6 o'clock tonight. Prose
cutor Wenderburg said at noon that
he would occupy the rest of the after
noon with his speech.
