Prosecutor Thinks Jury Will
Have 1t Friday Night.
Defendant NERVES FOR TEST
Goes on Stand in Trial for Wife Muir
der Today-Prosecution Not
Decided About Calling
eeulah Binford.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
4.-Strenethening himself and being
strengthened against the supreme test
when he is to take the stand to plead
for his life, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
spent many hours consulting with one
of his two lawyers.
Lewis Wendenhurg, commemorative
prosecutor, INDUCED in prophecy as
to the length of time still remaining
before the jury will get the case for
its ultimate decision. He said he
thought the defense might keep Henry
on the stand for four hours in direct
examination. He Gid not know how
long lie would he in cross-eXamination,
but he believed that he would not fin
ish with the prisoner before Tuesday
morning. Then, the dcfer-se having
rested its case, witnesses for rebuttal
will be put on by the commonwealth
and Wednesday night this phase of
the trial will be completed, Wenden-
burg thinks.
Thursday will be taken up by .argu-
ments of counsel upon the instruc-
tions of the court, according to Vir-
ginia practice Friday will be occu-
pied by the summing up on each side,
so Wendenburg thinks, and the case
will go to the jury Friday night
There is little likelihood that the
jury will get the case before Friday
nieht and * is possible that the
twelve men will not retire to the lit
tie closet in the cid court house called
by courtesy a jrryroom before Satur-
day.
Wendenburg would not say whether
or not he will call Beulah Birford to
the stand in rebuttal He admitted
that there was strong possibility
that he would decide to put the girl
before the jury after Henry Beattie
steps from tie stand. Everything
would depend en- what the prisoner
himself states when he is his own
witness. There is no installing the
fact that the prosecution is not at al
satisfied what the girls position would
be OF the stand. Henry Beattie must
testify without having the benefit OF
knowing how greatly or how little BeU-
lab Binford might harm him by her
testimony. lie cannot know which of
his statements she will be called upon
TO Tefute. He does know that from
the mouth OF Beulah Binford the
prosecution has drawn much of the
material they have launched against
him.

Greatest Production Per Miner on
Record-Fifty Per Cent Was
Mined by Ma
chimes

Indiana's production of coal in
1910 was 1S,3S9,S15 short tons, val
uod at $20.513,659, gain7of 3,555.556
tons and $5,65S,97S over the figures
for 1909, according to E. w. Parker,
Of the United States Geological Sur
vey.
While some of the coal miners of
Indiana suspended work in 1910, In
sympathy with the strike in Illinois
and in the Southwestern States, the
idleness in Indiana was not general
nor was is by any means so prolonged
as In the other States affected. OF
the total number of men employed in
the coal mines of Indiana only about
so per cent quit work on the strike
call and these remained idle for an
average of but "a days, whereas in
the other, fields the idleness extended
from April to September ID and the
effects lasted for fully six months.
Indiana operators and miners as a
whole therefore benefited from the
strike, as is shown by an increase In
production from 1909 of "a per cent.
Moreover, on account of the fuel
shortage occasioned by the strike, the
prices for Indiana coal advanced, the
average in 1910 being $1.13 per short
ton, against $1.O2 in 1909, and the
total value of the coal produced In
creased 1874 per cent.
Greatest Production per Miner on
Record
Of the total production in 1910,
$3.50, 495 tons, or nearly 50 per cent
was. mined By machines, of which
there were Gas in use. The coal mines
gave employment to II 1878 men, who,
Notwithstanding the average of "a
days lost by 1888 me ID strike,
made an average Of 900 liking days
each. This was 80 days better in
working time than in the boom year
1907. and is the best record made in
the history of Indiana coal mining
The average production per man was
also a record breaker, the the aver
age for 1910 being S41 tons to each
employee for the year, and 3.67 tons
for each working day.
