The Virginia supreme court of ap-
peals in Richmond has denied the pc
tition for a writ of error by Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., convicted of muir
dering his young wife last July.
This decision on the appeal from
the judgment of the Chesterfield
court, which sentenced him to die in
the electric chair on Nov. "a, is final
Clemency or reprieve by Governor
Mann only can save the condemned
man.
Beattie's last hope of judicial inter
ference was dashed when the supreme
court announced that "the trial court
was plainly correct in its ruling. and
the appeal is therefore denied"
No further comment was made upon
the case All five judges were seated
when James Keither, the president,
handed the decision to the clerk None
of the interested lawyers was present
Powerful influences are said to be

ELOPES WITH WRONG TWIN

Man Planned to Wed Mary, But Took
Sister by Mistake.
Captain Harry r. Edwards, of the
schooner May H., eloped from Kent
Island, near Annapolis. Md, Sunday
night with Miss Betty Harrison, the
daughter of G. F. Harrison, a farmer.
Edwards spent his vacation last
summer at house near that of the
Harrisons, who had twin daughters.
People living on the island have often
mistaken one of them for the other
and that was what Edwards did when
he eloped. Edwards landed from the
schooner intending to elOpe with Mary
Harrison. He met Betty first, and,
thinking she was Mary, hurried off to
a parson and then went aboard the
schooner
The schooner is now somewhere in
Chesapeake bay, with Edwards and
his wife aboard, headed for Baltimore,
while Mary is mourning the fate that
leaves her a single woman.
It was reported last summer that
Betty was jealous of the attentions
paid her sister by Edwards, and it IS
believed she learned that Edwards
was going to marry Mary and decided
the best way to stop it was to marry
him herself.

TURKS CONCEDE

Gdgm9nt Of Suzerainty.

The headquarters of the Young
Turk party in Geneva, Switzerland
were advised from Salonika that two
delegates from the party of Union and
Progress had been sent to Port Said
to seek an interview with King
George, who is on the way to Cal
cutta on board the steamship Medina,
and to ask him to intervene and end
the Turco-Italian war.
The Turks are prepared, it is said,
to concede the loss of the city of Tri-
poll, but wish a heavy indemnity and
an acknowledgment of their suzerain-
ty in Tripoli as in Egypt
