Defense Overruled.
Chesterfield Va, Aug. 25.-The
defense in the Beattie trial met with
two set backs at the opening of court
here to-day. Judge Watson quickly
overruled motion to exclude the
Dear Kid" letters, written by Beat
tie to Beulah Binford and introduced
yesterday.
Court convened at 1890. The
crowd was even larger than yester-
day and hundreds gathered about the
yard to catch a glimpse Of Paul Beat
tie, the Commonwealth chief wit
ness.
Before any witnesses were called,
II. NJ Smith, Jr., for the defense OBJ
jectcd to the Introduction yesterday
OF Beattie's letter to Beulah Binford,
identified by the prisoner at the cor
oner's inquest. AS Beattie at that
time was not under arrest the de-
tense cited a ruling barring the use
at trial Of testimony not in tho de-
fcndant's own behalf and given by
him while a witness previously. Not
withstanding Mr.. Smiths argument,
the court ruled that the letter should
not be excluded
Hill Carter for tho defense then
took up the point that the indictment
against Beattie refers to the wound
in Louise Beattie's face, rather than
to the skull or brain and that all
testimony relating to a wound other
than In the face should be excluded.
The court held that inasmuch as the
Indictment specified penetration Of
the face there was no ground for
sustaining the defense's cont ention.

A Glimpse Behind
The Prison Walls

The lenitentiary to the Wis 'tor
seems CHEEKY The sunshine bright
ems up the surroundings and hun
dred canaryabirds sing happily. These
little prisoners are far happier, how
ever, than their sober looking com.
panions. The place s kept very
clean, the cells smell fresh and aside
from the loss of freedom and the &C.
companying disgrace, the state peni-
Tertiary would make very comfor-
able hotel. The surroundings are far
more pleasant and more sanitary, we
might say than in many homes. There
are prisoners in this institution, for
whom the outside world holds NO
charm, who would rather remain
there than be given their liberty.
This has been demonstrated in num-
Der of instances, where prisoners
shortly after serving their sentences
committed some depreciation in order
"to be sent back home" Walter
Rockhold, who was given fifteen years
for assaulting the Plaza school teach.
er, was in the pen before under the
name of Bert Wilson. He committed
crimes in number Of states since he
ing given his freedom, and In every
case where arrested, he told the off,
GERS that he was an escaped convict
from the Bismarck penitentfary, which
was not the case. Warden Hellstrom
says that Wilson must be glad that
he's coming back home.
Many of the prisoners take great
pride in decorating their cells. In
some are hand made picture frames
surrounding the pictures Of dear old
mother sister, father or brother, the
home Of iboyhood days back on the
farm. What sad story one may
read by gazing at the pictures on the

Immediately after the prisoners
were turned over to the warden, they
were made to give up all Of their pos.
sess' ons, which included tobacco.
matches, letters, and little loose
change. These will be given to them
later. Their clothing, however, has
been destroyed, except In Jensens
case, where 1t was expressed back
home. Five minutes later, the men
were assigned to their cells and left
alone to mediate. A strict medical
examination was given them the next
morning, they were given the Gus
tomary prison hair cut, and then as
signed to their places. Jensen ask.
ed to be given work on the reniten-
tiary farm, where he will probably
be assigned. The penitentiary owns
a 20O-acre farm and besides 500 acres
are rented A large number Of men
are employed on the farm. The crops
do not look extra we'll, but there are
200 acres Of fax that will yield we'll :.
The garden Is very spacious and the
garden truck looks splendid There
is a great patch Of tomatoes. Two
years ago 81 bushels Of ripe tomatoes
we're picked from the patch In one
day.
. There are 212 prisoners In the peni-
Tertiary. Only four are wearing the
third degree suits (stripes), 129 wear
the first grade clothing, plain gray
with shoulder straps, while II are IN
the second grade, and wear the gray
clothing without the straps. When
a prisoner is received, he Is given the
second grade clothing and he car
