Especial Dispatches 10 the GaZetteI
Richmond, Va, Sept. s. Additional
returns from the senatorial primary of
Yesterday show that the majority for
Martin and Swanson will exceed the
figures predicted by the supporters. At
tue headquarters OF the two senators
the statement was made that the ma
jority for Martin would reach certainly
3S, 900 and that Swanson would go
5000 higher. 1t Is not understood
why there is such discrepancy be-
tween the vote for Jones and Glass.
There are some fifteen counties from
which complete returns have not been
received, but with the figures already
ia hand it looks like the vote will
easily reach $1,000 for the candidates
for the Senate. Senator Strobe, OF
Amherst, author of the statewide pro-
hibition bill, of last session is defeated.
Richmond, Va, Sep. S.-Though
returns are still incomplete, latest re-
ports are to the effect that Senator
Claude A Swanson was re-nominated

Beulah's theatrical career remained
unsettled. 1t was said that if NOV

BEATT|E CASE
NEARING CLOSE.
Arguments in Progress---The Case
Will be Given TO the jury
Today.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Sept.
I7.-Hoping to place the fate of Henry
Clay Beatlie jr before the jury who hold
the power OF life and dea.h over him
before nightfall, Judge Watson today
convened court full hour ahead OF the
usual time.
Today was the day for the final round
of the gordy warfare which will con-
clude the case. Harry NJ. Smith, the
keen witted chief of the defense began
the day to place before the jnry the
last words they will hear in favor OF
the prisoner. Then will come the mer-
ciless Wendenburg who will tear at the
argument of the defense for hours. 1t
was when court opened that the argu.
ments would be concluded early this
evening, and that a verdict will be
reached before the jury was locked iup
for the night.
A greater crowd than usual gathered
at Chesterfield Courthouse today to
bear Smith and Wendenburg who are
known as the best lawyers and the best
pleaders in the state. Judge Watson
again barred women from the court
room, but score Of them stood about
beneath the open windows listening
eagerly.
When Beattie entered the court room
he held a hurried conference with
Harry Smith They went over the
notes. Beattie suggested some change
after which Smith began his final plea
at $50.
Under the indictment charging Beat
tie with the killing of his wife but two
verdicts are possible. The jury hold
ing power of life and death over the
accused man, can either find him
guilty of murder in the first degree as
charged in the indictment" or mot
guilty" There can be no verdict OF
lesser degree OF murder Of menslaueh-
ter. Following the verdict Of guilty,
the Law prescribes the death penalty
although the jury can recommend
mercy. a third possibility is that OF q
disagreement or a hung jury.
