Court of Appeals Denies Beattie
New Trial.

The Virginia Court of Appeals
on Monday denied the petition
for a writ of error by Henry
CLAY Beattie, Jr., convicted Of
numbering his young wife near
Richmond last July. This decls-
ion on the appeal from the judg-
ment Of the Chesterfield court
which sentenced him to die in
the electric chair November
oath, is anal 50 Tar as the courts
are concerned. Only clemency
or reorievc by Governor Mann
can now save the condemned
man Beattie's last hope OF judi
cial Interference was dashed when
The Supreme Court announced
that the trial court. was plainly
correct in It's ruling, and the APP
neal is therefore denied. The
court made no further comment
ON the case. Early that after
noon Il. C. Beattie, Sr., father
of the condemned man, went to
the penltenuary, ana was e9coiCcu
to the death chamber, where IN
faltering voice he notified his
son that the appeal had been de-
MED. The son did not seem to
feel or comprehend the meaning
Of his fathers words, but en-
deavored manfully to comfort
his old father whose grief was
intense.
Since the foregoing was put IN
type, Governor Mann yesterday
declined to interfere in any way
with the sentence Of the court,
making the frank and emphatic
statement that he believes alb
solutely in the prisoners guilt.
The refusal of the Governor tc
interfere in any way with the
sentence which the Supreme
Court on Monday declared to be
plainly right means that Beattle
will die in the electric chair al

TO PLAY
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Baltusrol, N. j., Oct. 9.-The
eyes of all women who are interested
not merely in golf but in any form
of outdoor athletics for women will
be turned during the present week
upon the links of the Baltusrol Golf
Club. Here, beginning today and
continuing throughout the week. will
be held the annual competitions for
the women's championship of the
United States Golf Association and
it is safe to say that never before has
such deep and widespread interest
been manifested in this great annual
event, the crowning contest of the
season in the field of feminine ath-
letics An important factor in
arousing in the highest degree, pop
ular interest in this years golf clas-
sizes is the participation of Miss
Dorothy Campbell, of Hamilton, Ont.
at present acknowledged to be the
foremost woman golfer of the world.
Miss Campbell, who already held the
British championship, came to this
country last fall and annexed the
championship of the United States.
Her decision to return this year and
defend her title has added greatly to
the interest in the present tOurna-
ment.

WHO WILL SUCCEED
DENNY AT w. & L. u?

Richmond, Oct. 6.-No one here
alDuts has any idea what steps will
be taken by the trustees of Washing
ton and Lee University to fill the va
cancy in the presidency of that in
situation, which will be caused by
the resignation of DR.. George H.
Denny.
The position is a desirable one, mot
only because it pays a neat salary
and allows the use of house for a
residence, but because Washington
and Lee enjoys dignified and hon
orable position among the educa-
tional institutions of the country.
The university, however, is not a
State institution in the sense of re-
ceiving appropriations from the Com
monwealth, or being subject to the
management or supervision of the
department of education.
Its trustees are self-perpetuating
body and upon them will devolve the
duty of selecting a new president.
Doubtless this work will take them
several weeks. DR.. Denny does not
retire until January LIST.

BRING INDICTMENTS
AGAINST NEWSPAPERS
Beattie Trial Gets Two Richmond
Publications Into Trouble

Richmond, Oct. 6.-The grand
jury in the Federal Court has return
ed indictments against the News
Leader and the Evening Journal for
having printed and circulated
through the mails alleged obscene
matter. 1t is understood that the
indictments, which were returned
several days ago, are in every way
identical and the offense is that the
reports of the Beattie murder trial
which took place in Chesterfield
county some weeks ago were objec-
tionable.
These press reports were very full
and elaborate, the Journal having
one of its most careful and conserva-
tive men on the trial from beginning
to end. 1t is not understood where
in the offense against the Journal is
alleged, and it is though that mis-
take has been made. No one knows
on whose information or complaint
the indictments were returned or
when the cases will be called for
trial.
The court has been in session for
several days, and it was not until
late this afternoon that it was learn
ed that the indictments had been re-
turned. The two papers will fight
the charges to the end, it is said.

Charles w. Morse, the New York
financier, serving a fifteen-year sent
ence in the Federal penitentiary here,
came up again today before the Unit

this city. In the present proceeding
it is cOntended that Morse should
have been sentenced on but one count
of his Indictment and that he should
have been sent to New York Jail
instead of the penitentiary, where
hard work is required. Federal
Judge Newman ruled adversely on
this contention some time ago, but
an appeal was taken.

COAL CART RUNS
OVER LITTLE BOY
Fve-year-old Howard Shaffer
Has Close Call from Death

Has Close Call from Death
While taking turns riding veloc-
ipede with his little cousin, Sue Bar
rett Smith, on the granolithic side
walk at the upper end of Central
avenue, little Howard Shaffer, Jr.,
who was visiting at the home of his
uncle, Mr.. Walter s. Smith, during
his mothers attendance upon the
Daughters of the Confederacy con-
vention at Roanoke, met with dan
gerous accident Saturday morning
at about nine o'clock.
The little girl had just made her
trip down the sidewalk and back and
Howard, a child of about five years,
was ready for his ride. Going
down to about Clem's ice factory, he
turned around and was coming back
at a good tilt when cart with ne
gro driver came out of the alleyway
next to the Augusta County Cream
cry building, neither seeing the ap-
proach of the other, and Immediate
ly the child and velocipede were un-
der the horses hoofs. A witness
says that the horses front foot
struck the child, one hind foot
stepped on his chest and the heavy
wheel of the cart passed over his
shoulder and neck. The velocipede
was reduced. to scrap. The negro
got down from his cart, picked the
boy up and Mrs. Dorsey Hisey car
ried him to- Mr.. Smiths home on
the corner. Here it was found he
had suffer ed a bad cut under the
chin and was quite badly bruised
up. Apparently no bones were
broken, b,ut how they escaped nc
one has been able to figure out.
Mrs. Sha1fer arrived from Roa-
noke last night and was of course
very much worried when she heard
of the accident. Last night the
child seemed to be doing very well
and it is hoped will soon be entirely
recovered.
