BEATT|EE EXECUTION
IS DRAWING NEAR
Friday, November "a, Date When
He Must Pay Penalty for
Death of His Wife.

Richmond, Va. Nov. 15-The
Virginia Supreme Court has refus
ed to grant to Henry Clay Beattie
who has been condemned to death
on November Oath for the murder
of his wife ON September 9Th.
This means that the defendant
will be electrocuted on the day set
unless Governor Mann should in
terfere.
The attorneys for the defense
filed seventeen bills of exception
with the higher court.
Contrary to the expectations Of
the lawyers generally, the Su-
preme court filed no written opin-
ion giving its reasons for refus-
ing appeal.
In the presence of the entire
court Chief Justice James Keith
made this official statement to
the Clerk:
"ln the Beattie case, the court
being Of the opinion that the
Judgment of the lower court is
plainly right, doth refuse the pc
tition for writ of error"
Early in the morning II. Cheat
tie, ST., went to the penitentiary
and was escorted to the death cell
where in a faltering voice he told
the son of the court s action.
The prisoners iron nerve did
not desert him. He endeavored
manfully to comfort his old faith
err, whose grief was pathetic.
Governor Mann has not made
any statement as to what he will
do in the matter of respite, tho
lawyers of Observation-Disclosures
he has been in conference with
the lawyers of Beattie regarding
respite of 30 days in order that
the prisoner may make proper
spiritual preparation. However
it is expected that the governor
will soon make a statement.

FOUR MORE WITNESSES DIS
COVERED WITH DAMAG-
ING EVIDENCE.
EVIDENCE GROWS STRONGER
Several Witnesses Saw Preacher
and the Girl on Fatal
Afternoon.

Boston Mass, Nov. 15.-Rev.
Clarence V. II. Richeson will be
placed on trial for the murder of
Avis Linnell Jan. 18th.
Three new witnesses whose ev-
licences may be of the utmost i'm
portance at the trial of Richeson.
They are Eugene Levitan. who
until Oct. 10 kept q drug store at
so Boylston street, Cambridge, his
wife and Mrs. Bertha NJ. Girder of
Mercer, Me-. who is visiting in
Boston.
Levitan who lives in RoXbury
declares that before October IA,
the date of Avis Linnell s death
he sold a small quantity of cyan
ide Of potassium to girl. He be-
lieves now that she was Avis Lin
nell.
Mrs. Levitan says that on Sep
TENDER 29th she had a visit at the
drug store from a man she thinks
was Richeson who appeared to be
nervous and wanted some cyanide
of potassium. He was in a hurry
and left without the poison be.
cause Mrs. Levitan did not know
in what part of the store the poi
son was kept.
Mr.. Levitan is so confident that
he sold poison to Avis Linnell
that he asked w. ID. Frazier, to
whom he sold his store to look up
the records of poison sales. Mr.
Frazier did so but is silent regard
ing what he found. -
, Mrs. Girdler's story, if she is
not mistaken may furnish the last
link in the governments case re-
garding Richeson.
She says that she saw Avis Lin
nell and Richeson dining together
in O'Brien's grill, on Dartmouth
street on Saturday October l4th
the day on which the girl died.
According to her story it was be.
tween two thirty and three
o'clock.
