The excursion train had barely left
the curve and small viaduct over the

MANY CRANKS ARE
WRITING LETTERS.
tuberculosis Victim Ready to be
ElectrOcuted for S5,0O0.--One
Writer Says He is the
Guilty Man.

Richmond, Va, July 29.-Dctec
tives who for fifteen days have beer
gathering evidence for the prosecution
against Henry Clay Beattie, ir., &C
cused Of numbering his wife, were to-
day formally called off the case. De
tective L. L. Scherer issued forma
statement declaring that the prosecu.
tons case was complete.
1t was also announced that Judge
Walter A. Watson, before whom Beat
tie will he tried, has agreed to sidetrack
all other cases before him, and place
the Beattie trial at the head OF the
docket. This vas taken TO mean that The
accused man will be arraigned within
three weeks.
Beattie still maintains the calm in
difference that he has adopted since his
arrest. When his aged father came to
Richmond jail today to hiring Henry
some fruit, he found his sou tilted back
in chair strumming his guitar and
shouting out a coon song in 4 voice
that could be heard all over the Jail.
Richmond, Va, July 29.-An un-
precedented crop Of cranks has been
developed throughout the country
from the Beattie murder case, accord
ing to letters which are pouring into
Richmond Jail, addressed to Henry
Clay Beattie, jr, the husband charged
with the murder OF his wife, Beulah
BiDford, the Other Woman, and Paul
Beattie, cousin Of the accused man.
OF the lot, the most unique was
today made public by Attorney Harry
Smith, counsel for Henry Beattie. It
twas from farmer who offered to go
to the electric chair for the crime, in
consideration Of $4,000. The writer
said he was 4 victim Of tuberculosis
and his family needed the So 900 more
than him.
Another missiye, which came to the
chief OF police, was from IN unknown
man who declared himself guilty
OF the crime and wrote minute
account Of how it vas committed.
He asserted that when the time
came, he would appear at the trial and
prove bis own guilt. The police are
inclined to regard the letter one oI
the crank variety, but detectives are
today searching for the writer.
Practically all of the investigation
by the authorities has been completed
and they said today that the prosecu,
tons case was almost ready for the
trial.

Erie, Pa, July 29.-Gilbert B. Per-
kins, head OF the Perkins private detec-
tive agency, and Charles III. Franklin,
manager OF his Philadelphia branch,
we're today found guilty OF misuse OF
the United States mails.
They were arrested some weeks ago,
charged with having sent threatening
letters through the mails to the family
of Charles H. Strong, the local million
aire, whose mausoleum was despoiled
by ghouls last winter. The govern.
ment claimed that Perkins and Frank
lin, whose detectives were originally
hired to iun down the grave robbers,
and were later discharged, conspired to
frighten the Strongs by means OF q
letter demanding the payment oi
money in the expectation that they
would be engaged again to guard the
mausoleum.
This Perkins and franklin denied
and they alleged that their arrest was
due to conspiracy on the party Of
Burns's detectives because they had
been hired by labor men to prove J. j.
Mcnamara guitless of the Los Angeles
Times explosion.

, franklin to live years and Perkins tc
three years in i.eaN Nenworth prison

To prevent the running of fifteen pei
cent interest and for the benefit OF othe,

THE FRANCO GERMAN
SITUATION IMPROVING.
Report in Vienna that the Trouble
Has Been Settled. Dissipation
of War Cloud.

London, July 29.-Emperor William,
OF Germany holds the centre OF the
stage in Europe today. On the result
OF his attitude in the conferences with
his chancellor at Swinemunde tomor-
row hinges the question OF peace or
war. Uuless Germany shall recede
from its demand and that it be given
territorial concessions in Morocco the
French German negotiations must come
to an abrupt end.
While it is generally believed in dip.
lomatic circles that this will be the
outcome, it is also conceded that the
wish is father to the thought and no
one is in position to determine what
the kaiser will do.
The intimation today that France
and England both plan to send war
ships to Agadir. OF equal armament
and tonnage to that OF the cruiser
Berlin and The guuboat Pan
ther, is not confirmed. Such IN
act, il is conceded would greatly com
plicate the situalio: il ii was not i'm.

tinnes to demand ten percent premium
