WIFE MURDERER PAYS PEN.
Atty OF CRIME.
Written Statement Given Out After.
wards-News OF Admission of Guilt
Makes Whole City Gasp-Slayer
Goes to His Death With Unchanged
StOiCism.

Clay Beattie. Jr., went to his death
at dawn today the self confessed MUIR
derer Of. his young wife. The confess
sion was not made public until four
hours after he had paid the toll
exacted by the law. He maintained to
the end the remarkable nerve he had
exhibited since first he was accused
OF killing his wife on the lone MID
lothian turnpike on the night Of July
1s. His last expression was a sneer
when he observed the chair that was
to launch him into eternity.
The confession was made public in
the rotunda Of a downtown hotel by
the Rev. Benz. Dennis one of the
ministers who had labored with Beat
tie to repent. AS matter Of fact, It
was acknowledged by the minister
that Beattie first admitted his guilt
November 8. the day after he enter
ed the death cell and before the
fruitless appeal for Communication
Of the sentence was made to Gov.
Mann. 1t was not until yesterday
that he would agree to its being put
In writing for his signature. Then all
hope with Gov. Mann was gone.
The extraordinary document follows:
Il. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., de-
nf OF xt~
and man. do on this. the 23rd day Of
November. 1911. confess my guilt OF
the crime against me. Much that was
published concerning the details was
not true, but the awful fact, without
the narrowing circumstances, re-
mains For this action I am truly
sorry. and believing that I am at
peace with God and am soon to pass
into His presence, this statement is
made"
Beattie's confession was followed
by this statement by the attending
minister's:
This statement was signed in the
presence Of the two attending minis
ters and is the only statement that
can and will be made public by them.
Mr.. Beattie desired to thank the
many friends for kind letters and ex-
pressions Of interest and the public
for whatever sympathy was felt or
expressed"
Beattie's attitude throughout the
trial and the Imprisonment that was
ended only on his death was a study
for psychologist. He read the news
papers avidly. Every reference to his
case and to the fact that he was 60
ing to the chair without acknowIedg-
ing his crime in the hope OF saving
his aged father further sorrow, ac-
cording to those who were with him
to the end, seemed to afford him su-
preme satisfaction. Apparently he
gloated over the notoriety his crime
had brought him.
Even after his confession he main
talned MS air or bravadO. What had
since November Q been considered
stoicism now Is recognized as Gym
icism. His remarkable nerve seems to
have had It's basis and support in
the knowledge that he was being ap-
plauded as a man Of Spartan courage
and infexible will.
The secret OF his confession was
held inviolate by the ministers until
today. Not even the broken-hearted
father knew of its existence, friends
Of the family declare. Not until four
hours after he had been pronounced
dead In the death chamber in States
prison were the murderer's ATTORNEYS
cognizant that he had made a clean
breast of his guilt
