Special hu rntteG Prsss WIRE.

Richmond, Va, Aug. Formal
demands that Henry Clay Beattie
face the electric chair for the murder
of his young wife were made today
by the commonwealth of Virginia
The Virginia farmers composing the
grand jury returned an Indictment
charging Beattie with murder in the
! +; !f;,Is1--deQ eQsFna-v y u 49,
and they heard but rev witnesses.
Beulah Binford and Paul Beattie
and Coroner Loving and Detective
Sherer made out the case against
Beattie.
Immediately after the jury report
ed an Indictment Judge Watson ad-
journed court until 2 O'Clock, when
the time for trial will be set.
Farmers in the neighborhood OF
the Chesterfield county court house
reaped a rich harvest today trans
porting the hundreds of morbid visi-
tors from the terminal of the trolley
line to the court house, a distance OF
four miles.
Concessions similar to those at a
county fair were taken out around
the court house. A lemonade stand
and lunch counter and other petty
business ventures were scattered
along the fence about the yard. In
side the court room scores of news
paper men were crowded about the
platform, only about seventy-five
spectators were able to crowd into
the little courtroom.
In a light summery gown and a
new bright blue hat Of the umbrella
type, Beulah Binford appeared with
the sameb happy care-free air that
characterized her during her stay in
Henrico Jail.
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., will be
tried during the present week on the
charge of having murdered his wife
by shooting her with shotgun while
riding with her at night In an automo-
bile. H. NJ Smith, Jr., his chief Of
counsel, said that he believed there
would be no occasion for a request
of delay on his part. L. o, Wenden-
burg, the prosecuting attorney, said
that his case was complete and that
he hoped to have the trial ended
within a week. He said that there
was no reason for doubt in so far as
he saw the evidence in the case.
The man is guilty and | believe that
he will be sent to the electric chair. "
Beulah Binford, the girl with whom
Beattie is said to have been in love
and for whose sake he Is alleged to
have killed his wife, will be the chief
witness at the trial. She is alleged
to have burned many of the letters
from Beattie the night the death OF
the young woman occurred. Beat
ties father is supplying funds lib
orally for the defense.
Beattie's defense is that his bride
was shot by a rough looking man in
the road, irritated at the presence OF
Beattie's automobile. There is great
interest in the case throughout Vir-
ginia, and the diminutive and historic
courthouse in Chesterfield will be
packed with spectators during the pro-
ceedlngs.
Those who have followed the case
predict that a week at least will
elapse after the Indictment before the
selection Of jury is begun.

HOLD UP WORK
On PAVEMENT
Smith Street Asphalt Block
Delayed on Account of the
Public Service.
POOR TRACK FOUNDATION
Aldermen Will Order Work
Done at Corporations Ex-
F3nse Unless 1t Starts.

Work has been stopped on the
new asphalt block pavement on
Smith street between State and High
streets. because the Public Service
Railway Company has not placed a
sufficiently good foundation under
its rails and up 10 date il has not
signed Its contract with the Hast
ings Pavement Company for laying
the pavement between and for a
short distance on each side of its
rails. Members of the Board Of Al
dermen have noticed that a proper
foundation was lacking from under
its tracks, as they were seen to VI
brate when cars passed over them.
The city fathers want a perfectly
workmanlike Job on that stretch OF
Smith street, as Il is one Of the most
used portions Of street In the city
Aldermen May Take Action.
Most OF the aldermen are a loss
to know why the Public Service rail-
way concern has thus far not signed
its contract for paving about its
tracks. They notified its roadmaster,
F. H. Gordon, to meet them in this
city today to confer on the subject.
Alderman-at-Large William D. Voor-
hees stated today that if the Public
Service did not sign the contract
within day the city would order
the work done at the railway com
pany's expense.
The laxity Of the railway company
in attending to these matters was
explained by one alderman thls
morning to be due to the fact that It
almost invariably tries stunts 10 es-
cape expenses. He stated that P. s.
G. must do a perfectly good Job and
1t must be done without further de-
lay, as the street is much needed for
traffic

Beginning to Desert.

Newark, Aug. 14:-Adherents of
the Democratic machine in Essex
county are filled with disquietude
and apprehension as result of the
action of the state committee in
ousting sits chairman, James R.
Nugent. Nugent Is not only the
county boss, but the whip hand of
the organization in Newark. His
downfall will be severe blow to the
machine, both in city and county.
Already his allies are beginning to
desert.
AS In the state, so In the county,
many of the old-time organization
supporters have been utterly out Of
sympathy with the Nugent policy for
some time, and have been only walt
ing for a chance to show their dis
approval. That chance has come for
the state leaders, and it will come
locally with the primaries and the
election. Even some of the staunch-
est adherents of the ex-state chair
man have been heard to admit that
in rendering a public gratutious in
suit to the governor of the state he
has made the mistake of his life.
The consequences of that mistake
Nugent himself does not appear to
realize If his words are TO be taken
seriously.
Nugent Has No Redress.
He has treated the situation with
a show of braWdo, declaring that the
meeting of the committee was IT.
regular and that the action taken
was, therefore, null and void. Con-
sequently he maintains that he is
still the chairman, and that future
meetings of the committee are SUBJ
ject to his call.
Nugent was ousted by a vote OF
fourteen of the twenty-six members
of the committee, a majority of one.
So far as can be learned, the state
committee has no constitution and by
laws. The secretary, William X.
Devereux, is said TO have declared he
has been unable to find any. This
has a very important bearing upon
the situation, because If there had
been constitution and bylaws they
might have provided rules under
which such a proceeding as voting
the chairman out of office should be
conducted. In the absence of such
rules, 1t is maintained, the action of
q majority of the committee should
be final. With no constitution and
bylaws to govern it, the committee
at each meeting should be a consti-
tuition and bylaws of itself.
Selecting a New Chairman.
The anti-Nugent majority is not
worrying, therefore, at the attitude
of the deposed chairman, and is pro-
ceeding with the task of selecting
the proper man to fill the vacancy.
Who this will be is not yet apparent
Among the names mentioned are
those of Judge Howard Carrow, of
Camden, and Edward E. Grosscup, of
Gloucester, member of the State
Board of Equalization of Taxes
Both are members of the committee
One Of the committeeman, Dan Eel
lowse Platt, of Bergen county, a
leader In the anti-Nugent movement,
wants Representative William Hugh
es, of Paterson. Mr.. Platt says he
believes there is precedent for going
outside of the committee He also
says the congressman would be able
to bring about harmony between the
warning factions better than any
other man who CO. d be selected.
Now that the& ommittee has got
rid of Nugent. there is a disposition
