SEARCH FOR
BEATTIE JURY
Believed That it VIII be Com
posed Almost Entirely Of
Farmers
ACCUSED WILL FACE
THE COURT NEXT MONDAY
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 15.-Search
for the twelve men who will hold the
balance Of life or death. in the trial
OF Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., for the
murder of his wife, was begun today
by the commonwealth of Virginia
Out in the little Chesterfield Court
House. Judge Watson sent for Sheriff
Gill to summon thirty-two of Chester
field County's citizens for jury duty.
Out of these thirty-two, the court and
counsel Will endeavor to select the
jurymen Today's panel was made up
largely Of farmers from the outlying
districts of the county, where news
papers are scarce and little read.
This the lawyers believe will hasten
the process Of selecting the jury, as
the talesmen will have had little op-
portunity for forming Interchangeable
opinions
Under the ancient jury laws Of
Virginia, the jury to settle the fate Of
Beattie will be drawn under pictures
que circumstances.
There will be no butcher among the
twelve jurymen. The Virginia law
believes that a butcher is too harden
ed to the sight of blood to give pro-
per consideration to a brutal murder
case.
There will be no miller or worker
in a grist mill, for under the law, the
food producing workers of the COM
munity should not be hampered by
long jury service.
Men engaged in a score of other
professions are also barred-includ-
ing physicians. druggists, mail car
riers, sailors, teachers, bank officials,
militiamen and others
With the myriad exemptions in
mind, It was quite apparent this af-
ternoon that Beattie would face q
farmer jury" and that fact worries
the defense.
Out in Chesterfield county, the
country aristocracy, the farmers, the
poor whites" and even the negroes
are looking forward to next Monday,
the day for the trial, as the opening
of long, happy fete. Even old Sheriff
Gill, who presents a bewhiskered re-
production of the stage sheriff, has
donned a new suit of overalls.
The frailties of Henry Clay Beattie,
the seductive wantonness of the II
year-old girl of the streets, Beulah

Binford, and all the morbid details
of the brutal killing, strike a new
note in emotions. Chesterfield coun-
ty will make the most of it.
The Chesterfield Court House is al
most inaccessible. Normally it is
surrounded by three or four slattern-
ly houses. Now thrifty farmers have
set up mushroom settlement around
it that would rival an Arizona boom
town. Tents. shacks, lean-tos and
houses of every description have gone
up, and everything from a sandwich
to a country dinner" are available al
prices that would not disgrace .

Governor Tener, while in Philadel-
phia yesterday, was I'm conversation
with Gawthrop over the long-distance
telephone. During the talk he ex-
pressed his condemnation Of those
responsible for the outrage and pro-
missed the local authorities whatever
aid they might desire to quell future
uprisings.
1t is said that the Governor visited
West Chester late in the evening 10
discuss the lynching with officials
there. The delay In making arrests
in connection with the killing of
Walker is believed by many to be
made for the purpose Of waiting until
the participants are at work In the
mills, when wholesale captures can
be made easily.

WANT BOND
STATUS CLEAR
New York Brokers Inquire
About Street Widening Is
sue Before Accepting it

Forbes and Company, of New York,
successful bidders for the $4,000 o.
bonds for the widening of Eleventh
street TO make way for the dupont
hotel, have written TO City Solicitor
Hastings asking why the bonds were
Issued under law authorizing the is
suance Of $4,000 of bonds without a
referendum in any one year, when City
Council could have issued the bonds
under a general ordinance authorizing
the borrowing of money in amounts
not limited for street widening and
! Improvement purposes
It is believed that City Council was
under the impression that the amount
that could be borrowed for the Street
and Sewer Department was limited by
law when the $4,000 was borrowed for
widening Eleventh street under the
other law. The law authorizing Council
to sell bonds for street improvements
contains no limit, although a bill origi-
nally introduced in the Legislature
four years ago did contain a limit OF
something like 100000 a year for two
years
The point raised by the brokers
however, is not regarded as a serious
obstacle TO acceptance Of the bonds
and Mr- Hastings will explain the sit
