BEULAH BINFORD TOLD OF
BEATTIE'S PROMISE.

The most positive statement that can
be made about the Beattie case IS that
the prosecution is ready to proceed
with the trial.
sThe evidence in our possession, i"
said L. O. Wendenburg Tuesday
morning, .'is sufficient. That which
may be gathered later would Only be
cumulative, and while it! might simp-
|lify the ease, it really isn't necessary"
Mr.. Wenienburg added that the
features of the case were like the
blocks of which child was to build a
house-they were before the prosec,
| ton, clearly and commercially, and
could easily be placed together.
81 am as certain of conviction" he
added. "as have ever been, even if
we did not get another suggestion of
guilt
For forty minutes Tuesday morning
Mr.. Wendenburg, Luther l.. Scherer
and Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Beattie were
in conference in corridor of Hen.!co
county Jail. The conference was FOR
the purpose of clearing away seeming
discrepancies in Paul Beattie's state
ments. Apparently they we're satisfvc
torily explained.
So many rumors have gained cir
culation and belief that almost any
report is spread.
| The journal learned Tuesday that
many of them are without four dation
and that the first public opinion OF
the murder was correct.
Henry G. Beattie will be charged
with it alone.
Paul Beattie has been eliminated as
a possible factor.
Beulah Binford will not be charged
with even the slightest completely in
the crime-the prosecution does not
believe she had any knowledge what
, ever of the prosposed shooting.
Beulah Binford. disappointed and
bitter, did tell Luther Scherer Monday
Of incidents she had not told before
that she had been told by Beattie that
she and he would some day be able to
leave this part of the country with the
inheritance that would come to Beattie
when bis father died.
Beulah Binford is expected to add
to the information she impaired to
Scherer Monday afternoon.
The statement that other women
would be brought in the case is err
, roneous. Beulah Binford enjoys that
honor exclusively. The other two wo-
men suggested in vague, uncertain
way do not exist in the philosophy of
the prosecution.
The prosecution is satisfied that
Henry Beattie, alone and urai0ed,
killed his wife, that Paul Beattie had
nothing to do with it, and that Beuiah
Binford had no hint of 1t.
The conference Tuesday morning
aid not bring forth any details beyond
those that may be considered as sup
plying details wanted but not regard
ed as necessary.
The prosecution says its case is
complete.

In Mem0riam,

In memory of our dear father, Isaac
Franklin Coffman, who departed thi.
life on April 5th, 1911.
He has crossed the shining river,
And has gained the radiant shore,
Where no heart with grief can culver
And all parting scenes are DER.
We will pass on to meet him,
And make whole the broken band,
Meet him just across the river,
In that happy spirit land.
He has gone to Heaven before US,
But he turns ard waves his hand,
Pointing to the glories Ger US,
In that happy spirit land.
Friends may think we'll soon forget
him,
And our wounded hearts be healed,
But they little know our SORROWS,
That within our heart concealed.
Tnou art gore but not forever,
Some day we'll meet to part no
more,
For time love can never sever,
On Heavens bright and shining
shore.
He fell sleep in Jesus,
This one we loved so we'll,
How much we truly loved him,
No one hut God can tall
Written by his daughter, Clara.

The Hon. William A. Jones has
been a member of the house of
representatives of the congress Of
these United States about twenty
years, we believe. So far as we
know he has not poked his head
above the dead level of the ordin-
airy house member of the minori-
ty, has not been heard of in the
field of general politics. Mean
while the Hon. Thomas Staples
Martin has become in the Senate,
one of the most powerful and pre-
rainent influe noes in the politics
of the country. He is the chosen
leader of the Democratic party in
the Senate. By general consent,
the Democrats are declared to be
more efficient in the senate to
have accomplished better results
and done more for party and
public service than at any session
since the war. Yet Mr.. Jones
who has done nothing, CONTENDS
that Mr.. Martin, who seems to
have doue a good deal, should be
thrown out for alleged opposition
to the Kent railroad bill in 1891
and defeating it with a yellow
dog" fund. Mr.. Ellyson, chair
man of the State Democratic ex-
ecutive committee, says the
money Mr.. Martin collected that
year was for the Democratic
party. Mr.. Saunders, of Frank
lin, and Mr.. Howe, of Pulaski,
who were in the legislature of
1891, say the Kent bill was de-
feated by its own weakness and
could not have been effective UNI
der the constitution of the state
as it was then. So we may label
Mr.. Jones and put him to one
side. Roanoke Times.
