DECLARED THAT BEATTlE
MUST GO THE CHAIR
Gov. Mann Refuses to Interfere with
Nurderer's Sentence-Has No
Doubt of His Guilt.

Richmond Va-GoV. Mann declined
to interfere in the case Of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., the young wife murderer
sentenced TO die in the electric chair.
Attorneys for the condemned man
held their last conference with the
Governor during the morning and
just before noon the latter announced
his decision not to interfere in any
way with the decree of the Chester
field County Court OF Appeals Of the
State. A petition had been presented
to the Governor asking respite of at
least thirty days for spiritual prepara-
ton.
In a signed statement, Gov. Mann
said in part:
Il followed this case during the trial,
and, as it's horrible facts were develop
ed, regretted that a crime so cruel
and malicious should have occurred
within the confines of this State
in the decision of every question
which was presented TO the able and
impartial Judge who presided at the
trial he was careful to give the benefit
of every reasonable doubt to the pris-
oner that he did not err is shown in
the refusal of the Supreme Court of
Appeals to grant a writ of error.
That Beattie is guilty Of the wilful,
deliberate, and cruel murder of his
young wife | have not the slightest
doubt, nor is it insisted that there
shall be any greater relief offered than
the Communication of mis- sentence to i'm
prisonment for life.
Il do not think the afiidavits of Paul
Beattie printed in the papers or any
other evidence or consideration
brought to my attention sufficient for
that purpose.
ITO grant respite i'll so plain
case would be to set u precedent,
would be to temporize with the law
and to encourage appeals to the Su-
preme Court with the sole purpose OF
gaining time. | believe the best way
to prevent such crimes as this is to
punish them adequately, certainly,
speedily. Therefore the judgement of
the Circuit Court of Chesterfield will
be carried into effect without interfer.
ence from me-"
