ed up later by negress. This gun, which Beattie alleged had belonged to the mysterious highwayman, prov ed the means of sending the young man to the electric chair.
 At the eoroner's inquest the wea- pon was identified by Paul Beattie, a second cousin of young Henry, as the weapon he had purchased for Henry with money furnished by the latter. Beattie was arrested immedi- ately after the inquest. This was on July 2l, and on August 19, one month after the day of the murder, the trial was begun before Judge Walter A. Watson, in the picturesque little Chesterfield county courthouse, six teen miles from here.
 The jury was made up almost en- tirely of farmers, and on this fact Beattie based his claim that he had been convicted, not for the murder of his wife, but because of his rela- tions with Beulah Binford, a notori- ous young woman. He insisted to the last that a jury composed of city men would have freed him. Beattie was defended by H. NJ Smith, Jr., and Hill Carter. The prosecution was conducted by L. O. Wendenberg, and L. NJ. Gregory.
 The trial moved swiftly, though many witnesses testified, and on September s, after 5S minutes of con- sideration and prayer the jury, in chorus instead of through its fore man. declared Beattie to be guilty of the murder of his wife Motion for new trial was denied and No vember 24 was set as the day for the execution.
 On November 13 the Virginia court of appeals refused to grant an appeal on a writ of error, and two days later Governor Mann. who had been appealed to for communication or reprieve, issued a statement deelar- ing that the interests of the people of Virginia demanded that Beattie should die in the electric chair

 History of the Crime.
 RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 24 - The crime for which Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., was executed today was one of the most sensational in the criminal history of Virginia. Interest in the murder was countrywide owing to its unusual features and the swift movement of justice.
 On the night of July IS, last, Beattie drove his automobile into Richmond, carrying with him the body of his wife which had a gaping shoutgun wound in the head. He de- elared that tall bearded man had aeeosted him on the Midlothian turn pike, five miles from Richmond and when he had requested the man to make room for him in the road the stranger without warning had fired the shot which killed Mrs. Beattie. He added that he had grappled with the man but was overpowered and that the murderer had fled leaving the gun behind. This story of the crime was maintained by Beattie to the end.
 For brief time Beauties story was given some degree of credence, but within day of two suspicion began to point to him and he was kept under closest surveillance. Bloodhounds taken to the scene of the crime, refused to leave the place, circling around the bloodspot on the road
 Beattie it eventually transpired had thrown the shotgun into the ton neau of his automobile after the shooting but in passing over some railroad tracks not far from the scene it had been iolted out and was pick

Each of the cards is addressed to a different city De- eupying the center of the cartoon is large stack addressed to Louis vile, Lansing, Boise City, Portland, Los Angeles, Cincinnati and Prescott.
