After breakfast in the tiny hotel the strolled on the green singing. It was not song of mirth but had cadence in it and the defendant heard it. Friends call them God-fearing men and declare they are of the ilk to weigh evidence carefully.
 The defendant as he rested his chin Ion his hands told his friends he hop ed to be at home Sunday. He peered out at the newspapermen on .ne lawn la few feet away.
 Do you expect an acquittal sure enough" he was asked.
 "To be entiray frank with you. do not at this time," replied Beat tie. My guess is a hung jury, ' for conviction and five foI acquittal. However I do expect to get out at the next session. I am innocent and cant feel any other way"
 The defendant chatted and seemed glad of the opportunity to talk. He had been confined in his cell all day.
 'It is said Beulan Binford Is going on the stage. what do you think of that?"
 q do not know what she could do there"
 she has no voice and so far as l know no talent. l do think that q skit with BeuIah and the sheriff, without ringing the bell for a curtain would make an immense hit in vau- deville. It is rather hard on Beulah to hold her in prison and not let her go on the stand to advertise herself
 Do you thing the defense would have used ner?'
 Certainly, and why not; had she not been held in incommunicsdo in Henrico county jail for a long time, '' replied Behttie. "Mr. Smith would surely have put her on.'
 What do you think of the testi- mony in rebuttal?"
 Nothing to it." said the prisoner. He then laugned.
 Dinnek came at this iuncture and Ithe hypothetical questions ceased.

When she learned of the investigation made today she was greatly irritated, as she had hoped to gain her freedom tomorrow.
 The report which the investigation is based. came first in a telegram from the West, which alleged that Beulan had knowledge of plans to the tragedy.

The committee has been wrestling with the problem for 1.-two days and having made no afi- |nouncemeht Of the nature of its de- Alterations, Chairman Kramer's state ment was taken as an indication that the committee was exerIing to pr,ra out peaceful settlement of the diffi- culty. s@ Late in the day J.

 The argument over tha instructions to be kiven to the jury occupied three hours The instructions are brief and will not be made pubic until delivered to the jury tomorrow They are similar, however, to those given in lhe famous murden case against Mayor Mcclure of Cnanottes- vile, Va, six years ago when the Virginia supreme court set a prece. dent in determining not to thrust aside what is regarded as an evident ly fair verdict merely on legal techni- calities.
 The conference today took place in law library here and ponderous volumes were heaped on the table where counsel argued.
 The final draft made by Judge Watson included the usual perfume tory request of the defense that the indictment be quashed because or
 the reasonable doubt a singlar instruction of the commonwealth that the jury find the accused guilty of murder upon the evidence given by Paul Beattie as to Henry's alleg- ed confession.
 Judge Watson declared tonight that after delivdring the instructions to the jury tomorrow he intended to ask how long time was desired by the counsel for the argument and If it was not an unreasonable period nc would grant it. He addad however, that he would suggest 10 counsel the completion of the argument by tomor- row night and if the jury did not appear to be very fatigued he would ask them to retire al once and find verdict.
 It is not considered likely that the lawyers will be able to finish their speeches tomorrow.
 It is now quite certain the case will go to the jury not later than on Friday noon.
