little explorers and was at the top OF
the quarry when suddenly she slipped
and fell into "a deep hole filled with

So frightened were the children that
they did not scream. For some time
they watched Julia clinging to the rock.
Gradually the chiId's strength faileu;
then she released her grip and sank.
John and Emma Fisher ran to their
home and told their mother. Mrs.
Fisher aroused the neighborhood and
men began to drag the big pool Then

hole above. a rake was fastened in

They simply advertise a pictorial
discourse pertaining to Beulah Bin
ford and omit altogether the name OF
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.
The inscriptions on the films allude
to bad young man bearing another
name.
number of young people figure
in the pictures, but their names are
not revealed. The real Beulah ap-
pears, however, and her interesting
personality pervades the whole show.
Outline OF the SHOW"
The first picture represents q gay
and innocent birthday party, in which
the hostess, a lass of thirteen, enter
tains a number of her childish friends
Then the scene shifts and an auto
mobile honks into view and the in
nocent begins to tread devious paths.
Last of all comes the prison and it's
youthful, utterly abandoned inmate.
The homicide, 1t appears. is not given.
and, as has been said, Beattie's name
is not mentioned.
Mr.. Scherer has advices that Beu-
lah Will appear on the stage in Madi-
son Square Garden tonight. and the
chances are that the people there will
also flock to see her.
Mrs. j. II. Binford. the girls moth
er. informs this paper that Beulah
has been working desperately hard in
the great metropolis. According to
10 was designed to advertise q lecture
the girl intends delivering.
When seen by representative of
this paper Mrs. Binford said that she
did not expect her daughter would
have the discourse we'll in hand for
nothing about the West Virginia
shows. 1t may be. however, that Beu-
labs manager intends working the
Autograph both ways.
To Sketch for Her Audiences.
Mr.. Scherer is under the impress
sion that Beulah will entertain her
New York audiences with some
sketch work-that is. that she will
draw i'm public. The girl has some
artistic capacity and perhaps II has
been recently developed in New York.
Beulah may not be a Rosa Bonheur,
but the masses. in all likelihood, will
be eager TO see her sketch anyhow.
Mrs. BinfOrd's Attitude.
Mrs. BinfOrd seemingly is very
proud of her daughter Beulah-at
least. she was before the West Vir-
ginia shows were given-end she says
that the child" is surrounded by the
best of moral influences. Her mana
ger frequently has her in his home
with his family and a young preacher
is looking after her spiritual welfare.
The mother of the young lecturer,
reformer. artist and pictorial heroine
innocence of Henry G. Beattie, Jr.
She says that he was always Kindness
itself to her and her family, and that
he never referred to mis- wife save in
the most respectful terms.
Beulah, she says. went auto riding
with him the night he is alleged to
have procured the gun from Cousin
Paul." and she never saw anything
sven remotely suggesting a gun in the
machine.
But the thing which most convinces
Mrs. Binford of the prisoners inno-
cence is the fact that he had an en-
gagement TO meet her daughter at
the local ball park on the Thursday
following the murder, which was COM
mitted on Tuesday.
This, in the mothers opinion, is
proof positive that no such thought
as murder was in Henry's mind when
he made the engagement for the ball
game.
