 EXTREME PENALTY
Young Virginian Found Guilty By Jury Friday Nigbt.
 Sentence Pronoupced

Chesterfield, Y, Sept. 9. The twelve f6mers composing x the BeattjaG Gury, after kneeling and ask g Divine guidance, last 1tniRht 5T0rght in verdict of guilty and Judge Watson pro- nounced sentence, setting No vember "A as the day of execu- ton.
 Pausing in solemn contenpla- tion for 58 minutes, weighing carefully the meaning of their decision, and once more on bend Led knees, beseeching Divine as sistance that they might not err, they filed into the courtroom, and with startling suddenness twelve voices, instead of the us ual one of the foreman, spoke the single word Guilty
 Unusual as has been the trag- edy and the gruesome stage where it occurred, the 12 jury men did not hesitate to admit to their friends that they stood in judgment, not only over the cold-blooded murderer, but upon his marital infidelity as well. It was perhaps the dramatic eli max of Virginia justice, which, in the last half century, has swiftly sent to death such cele- brated murderers as Cluverius, Phillips and McCue.
 At the close of a powerful ad- dress by L o. Wendenburg, the voluntary assistant of the com monwealth in the case, the sus- pense was felt not alone in the court room, but in Richmond,
 
 where thousands of people awaited breathlessly the out come.
 His Words Rang Last.
 The jury had for II days heard evidence, for two days speeches; but the words of Wendenburg rang last in their ears as they left the court room to find their verdict.
 ssLet that man go free?" he cried. What? Let that man 20 free? Why, the motherhood of Virginia, the womanhood of this nation, will shudder in ter TOT as the security of it's life is Threatened! Let this man go free? The man who basked in lie degraded sunshine of anoth-
 woman while at his home a bung wife nursed his child?

 der, another one wonder, and they would go to the parties to whom these present claimants would sell a little piece of land and dissatisfy them, and the party would come back and say, q understand you have no title, and you have to pay me back my money" and all such harassing things as that. Finally Chapman & Dewey ct al came to MT. Garfield, the Secretary of the Interior, through their attorneys, and Mir. Garfield reversed the two decisions of Hoke Smith and MT. Hitchcock, and said, "The Govern ernment has title to these lands"
 Here is what 1 think would be the quickest way out of this diff culty, and has always been my contention about 1t. like to talk just straight from the shoulder. This is what have always want en done: Cut out all this fol-de-rol in this bill about quieting title to the grantees either of the State or the St. Francis levee board, and just simply quiet title to the State of Arkansas, because 1t was intend ed Arkansas should have it. Then let the various litigants go down and settle the trouble. It may be that 1t would work some hardship on the little fellow, but the great good of the public is what we want.
 LETTER FROM CHAMP CLARK
 Speaker Champ Clark makes the following statement in a personal letter to MT. Oldfeld:
 House of Representatives [. s.
 Washington, D. c. March p, 1910 Hon. Wm. A. Oldfeld,
 House of Representatives
 My Dear Mr. Oldfield:-Some days ago you asked me what is the custom of Representatives introducing bills by request of their Senators. My ob- servation is, that it is very common thing for members to introduce bills in the House by request of their Senat- ors, and nobody ever supposed that bill introduced by request bound the Representative in any manner whatso- ever or that he was in any way respon- sible for it. It is simply a matter Of courtesy.
 I have introduced bills in that man. ner myself, and on at least one occas- ion introduced one by request that was opposed to That was for Mis- souri Senator.
 Bills are also introduced by request of persons other than senators. The reason the words "by request are put on them, is, to show that the mem- Der introducing them is in no way re- sponsible for them and does not in any way by the introduction bind him. self to support the bill. So, it seems to me, without any reference to the merits of the bill you introduced by request that you are in no way to blame for it if it is a bad bill and in no way responsible for it if it is a good one I feel reasonably certain that this is the view universally taken here of the performance known as in- a bill by request.
 Truly your friend,
 CHAMP CLARK. 1

Congressman Oldfeld has never taken any interest whatever in the bill, and was not the author of it. He simply did what any other member would have done, in introducing the bill by request. The bill never passed and, be it good or bad, its introduction by MT Oldfeld has affected no one.
 The whole matter is only a trick of MT. Campbell's to try to hoodwink the people and mislead them. MT. Oldfeld has never broken faith with the people, but has always put forth his utmost efforts to make the people an hon. est, upright and conscientious ser want.
