Chesterfield Courthouse, va-Henry
Clay Beattie. Jr., was convicted of the
murder Of his young wife. Louise
owen Beattie, on the Midlothian turn
pike on the night Of July IS last. and
unless a higher court than that In
which he was tried intervenes he
must die In the electric chair In the
pentitentiary at Richmond on Novem-
Der ~.
Just one ballot OF the jury was 70
quired to seal Beattie's DOOM. The
Jurors retired for their deliberations at
$3.50 o'clock. The oficial verdict was
handed In at 6:43. although at 6:2s
the Jurors entered the courtroom and
handed in 4 verdict of guilty as
charged in the Indictment"
This did not satisfy Prosecutor
wendenberg, who demanded that the
verdict be specifically fixed. The next
verdict was guilty OF murder In the
first degree"
Beattie heard the verdict without a
tremor. He faced the twelve men at
the order OF the clerk. and looked d.
rectly into the eyes Of those who
would return his glance. The court
room showed the nervous. tense strain
under which everybody has been la
boring for days. the crowd bending
forward as the foreman OF the jury
spoke the fatal words.
But II was q popular verdict A
burst of approval came from the spec
tators. and Judge Watson was COM
PEELED to rap for order. Beattie rested
on bis right hand. which seemed
nailed to the desk in front OF him. His
left hand was placed on his hip In an
attitude OF defiance. Not a trace OF
fear. emotion or sorrow came to his
features.
The lips OF his father trembled. and
the old man settled back as far as he
could into his chair.
Beattie's senior counsel. Harry N.
Smith. asked that the verdict be set
aside as contrary to the law and evil
dence. The Judge refusec to grant
this motion. which was. however.
mere formality to pave the way for
the appeal which IL to come to the
higher courts.
Then Attorney Smith made an ap-
peal for a stay Of sentence. Again be
failed. Judge Watson ruling that he
thought sentence should be pro
nounced Immediately. and thereupon
sentenced Beattie to death. setting the
date as November "a. The Judge. how
ever gave the defense ray OF hope
by announcing. over the protest OF
Prosecutor wendenberg. that he would
grant a stay OF execution OF the sen
tence for ninety days.
We'll, Il lookJ as n II was all up.

shortly after the Jury had rendered Its
verdict

Hartford, Conn.-President Taft IN
an address here scored the majority
of the senate foreign relations com
mittee for its narrow view" In regard
to the senate's power to make treaties
and defend the peace pacts now pend
ing before that body.
simultaneously there was made pub
lie in New York an article by Col
Theodore Roosevelt in the Outlook
characterizing these conventions as
silly and impractical: protesting
against the binding Of the United
States to arbitrate questions Of nation.
al honor. declaring that the American
people would not observe such an
agreement and that advocacy OF II,
therefore. was hypocrisy.
He declares there are certain things
In the proposed agreement that the
United States never would attempt to
recognize and that the document Ia
constructed SO loosely that II never
could be determined Just what certain
parts Of It meant
President Taft endeavored to show
the benefits that would accrue to the
high contracting parties from COM
plete arbitration and the support
which his movement was receiving
from peace societies and commercial
organizations.
Perhaps the most significant part Of
bis address was as follows:
Il call your attention to the unfor-
tunate consequences. not only to our
selves but to the whole civilized
world. not only for today. but for ages
to come. II the final adoption Of this
reasoning by the senate committee 10
to prevail.
Steadily throughout the world the
burden of the creation OF armies and
fleets has grown heavier and heavier.
steadily tfs competition has grown
more fierce that is crushing the life
and the hopes of the people.
But steadily. too. and Of late even
more rapidly, has grown the hope
that an escape from these burdens may
be found, that In some measure at
least the peaceful methods Of settling
disputes among individual men may
obtain among nations. In some meas
ure. say. let us not be too extrava-
CANT In our dreams and our prophe-
cies. and yet who can say what the
end Of such a movement may be?
Now. wherever good men and wom-
en- the world over are looking and
praying for the dawn Of this great day
of peace. their eyes turn FIRST with
hope and confidence to the great re-
public of the west. to the land whose
ideals are of peace and Justice. indus
try and freedom. to the land which
more than any other has used the
peaceful method OF arbitration for the
settlement Of its difficulties with other
nations.
In this great movement we are the
hope Of the world. These hopes by
the proposed narrow construction OF
the senate's power to make a treaty
we are now to strike down To the
men and women who are struggling
and longing we say. Look not to us for
We cannot even follow
For remember. II the senate cannot
now bind US to abide the judgment OF
an arbitral court as to whether
question is justiciable II can never
bind us. and II the senate cannot bind
US. the nation cannot bind US. and this
people is forever incapa-
Bile OF taking a step along the great
path which all the world wishes to
Tread. and along which all the world
thinks America best fitted II lead"
