Judge Watson sets Date Of Execution

Verdict.

Chesterfield Courthouse Va, Sept.
9.-Death in an electric chair faces
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. A unanimous
verdict Of guilty was returned by the
Jury against the Virginian for the
murder on the night Of July IL OF
his wife, Mrs. Louise Owen Beattie.
Twelve Virginians, mostly farmers
knelt at dusk in the small jury room
of Chesterfield courthouse, prayed fer
yently that they might pass Judgment
Alright on Beattie. Then they arose
from their knees, deliberated nearly
an hour and recorded their unanimous
verdict
With startling suddenness IL voices

chorus. Il waS almost shout
Judge Watson sentenced the pris-
oner to death by electrocution Friday
November "a. The prisoner was q
trife paler than usual, but no SOUND
come from him.
The court of appeals will be asked
to grant a writ Of error and new
trial.
Unusual as was the tragedy the
iurymen did not hesitate to ADMIT 10
their friends that they stood in Judg-
ment not only over the murder, Dut
on Beattie's matrimonial in1delity as
we'll. 1t perhaps was dramatic con-
tinuation of Virginia justice, which IN
the last half century has swiftly sent
to death such similar murderers at
Cluverius, Philips and McCue.
The defense moved to set aside the
verdict The court overruled the mo-
ton, saying that questions OF law oio
not enter materially in the jury's de'
cision. Judge Watson set November
"a as the day to which execution Oh
sentence would be deferred.
The Judge stated as preliminary
to passing sentence that he desired to
add nothing to the anxiety OF the con
victed man.
"The jury has found you guilty IN
the first degree and therefore your lie
is forfeited, and the judgment OF TINS
court is that on November "a you DC
delivered into the custody of the su
perintendent of the penitentiary and
that between the hours Of sunrise ant

FIFTEENTHARREsTlAILRGlsE
ALL IMPLICATED IN ASSAULT ON
SCHOOL TEACHER.
public Sentiment Bitter Against
" Those Who Helped Smear Young
81 Lady With Tar.

Lincoln Center, Kan, Sept 9.--Shir-
rell Clark, q merchant and miller OF
Shady Bend, Kan, the last OF the
men sought by the Lincoln county
authorities on charge OF completely
in an attack on Mary Chamberlain,
young school teacher has just been
arrested by s. G. Wolford, sheriff.
The charge against Clark is assault
and battery, the same as that against
IA others accused of completely In the
offense. That was the only charge
that could be brought under the Kan
sas statutes, which have no other pro-
vision for furnishing persons guilty OF
such an attack as that on Miss Cham
berlain, tearing her clothing and
smearing her body with tar. Clark
gave bond Of $500 for his appearance
in the Lincoln county district court In
November.
Practically all of the men and boys
accused of completely in the assault
are members OF we'll to do families.
Two Of the boys already found guilty
In a justice of the peace court and
sentenced to three months each In
fail have appealed to the district
court and are out on bond.
Edward RicQrd, who decoyed tne
girl to a lonely crossroads where the
attack was made, is serving SEN
tence Of year in Jail for his part In
the affair. !.
Public sentiment in the county is
very bitter against the perpetrators
Of the assault and it is probable tnat
a fund will be raised by subscription
to engage outside counsel for W. w.
McCanles, the county attorney IN
prosecuting the cases.

Why ShOuldIUse
Cuticura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and ! thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to prsVest skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that OF ordinary toilet
soaps, tits prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that it wears
toa wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost BY
sending to "cuticura." Dept. N,

KEEP CAPITOL
BONDS At HOME
Effort Will Be Made to Build New
Capitol on Missouri Money
Cowgirl TO INVESTIGATE PLAN
Governor Believes State Pride and
Patriotism Will be Factor In
Inducing Home Investment In
State Securities.

Jefferson City, Sept. 9.-Missourt's
new capitol building probably will be
built out Of the savings from the
stockings of the Missouri farmer and
business man. At meeting of the
state board of fund commissioners
Judge James Cowgirl, the state treas.
ufer, was asked to investigate the
feasibility of selling by popular sub
scription the $3,500,O00 issue of bonds
the state voted recently to erect
new home for its seat Of government.
Another point Judge Cowgirl is to
investigate is whether the bonds
should all be sold at once or from
time to time as they are needed. Gov.
Hadley suggested that the bonds
might be sold as they were needed.
That would give an opportunity to
submit an amendment at the next
election exempting the bonds from
taxation, which would assure success
Of the plan to sell by popular sub
scription.
Gov. Hadley has been in favor OF
selling the bonds at home, If 1t can
be done, from the outset. He believes
it should be done from a matter OF
state pride and patriotism. ..
What course the fund commission
ers will follow depends upon Judge
Cowgilps report.
The commissioners will meet Sep
tember 10, the same day that the
fund commissioners are in session.
The personnel Of the two bodies is
the same except that the secretary OF
state is not a fund commissioner. One
body has the naming Of the capitol
commissioners, the other the sale OF
the bond issue.
Right now there are enough applica-
tons in for the commissionerships to
build capitols in every state Of the
Union and the territories thrown In.
The list of applicants has now reach
ed 10. 1t probably will be swelled con-
Lsiderably before the board meets
again.
Col "Bnr' Phelps Of Carthage was
another who found business In the
capital, but said he wasn't interested
particularly In candidates.
"But," he said, IF they don't use
Carthage stone to build our new CAPT
Itol, It win be an awful mistake, our
stone-" Well. Col. Phelps was
uulte certain there was no stone on
earth or under the earth to be COM
pared to that taken from his Jasper
county hills.
