perience with Nelson At Goldheld

was a sharp. hard man to deaf with.
He went after Tex Rickard, VINO was
promoting tho fight at Goldfsld. and
demanded that Nelson be given $500
for training expenses. Tex had to
fork over the money. too. In order to
show fairness Riokard then gave Cans
1900 toward his training expenses.

out on tho coast ne had q manager by
the name of TED Murphy. After one
o. the nights with Jimmy Britt. Murphy
left Frisco with oil the money. Bat
got out a warrant and had Murphy

Murphy told Bat that he was Ju,st
hurrying home to give Nelson's mother

It was a stare of manifest anxiety.
but the jurors held their secret. Some
carefully the full gestured speech of
the tall man at the bar, earnestly be-
seeching them to consider the past
good character of the accused and the
inconceivability of the murder being
committed "by a man of Beattie's
alertness and intelligence" Others of
the jury looked distantly through the
window opposite them, wearied of
meeting OF the eyes Of a gaping crowd
which for a fortnight had concentrat-
ed its observationon them
Mr. Smith reviewed the evidence in
detail and continued the peachment
OF Paul Beatties testimony as the key
stone of his argument. He spoke for
four hours.
Have you not thought" said Mr.
Smith in conclusion, that a verdict of
guilty means also the death of tho
father and the disgrace of the little
sister. Moreover, near here there is a
little boy who cannot even lisp its
prayers. Its mother is gone and now
you are asked to brand the father as
the coldest blooded assassin of the
twentieth century.
