Then he sank back in his seat NUT
tering incoherent things to himself.
That unnatural, irresponsible brilliance
was still in his eyes, and they did not
look like the eyes of a reasoning hui
man being.
My girls" he kept whispering to
himself. Then, aloud, "ThoSs are all
my girls"
All the rest of the way, when he did
not know he was being observed. his
mouth so firm and we'll shaped when
the crowd is looking on, sagged open.
His lips hung Imply wide apart, and
his head was craned forward while
that dreadful fire burned in the pupils
Of his eyes. His expression was one
OF animal terror. Again he did not
look like a reasoning human being.
Those heated eyes, staring ahead
into space, saw some unspeakably hor-
rible object in his imagination or mem
ory Was he remembering the details
of the crime in which he is accused
of taking part, or did the thought of
the electric chair sweep down upon
him to chill his soul?
When the car drew up before the
jail at last, Henry got to his feet and
ran lightly up the steps, saying good
night in a gentlemanly tone to the oc-
cupants of the car.
He was again on parade before the

unprepared for what followed.

said. 81 felt something hit my body,

got up, and as l rose l shook four or
five rats OF my body"
This was horrible enough in itself.
Almost anyone who had felt rats run
ming over him the night before would
have shuddered when he came to tell
of it But Henry has shown that he
is without the power to shudder. In
this he is abnormal, though it is a
small thing. He told of the rats in a
conversational way and had apparent
ly not felt any repulsion at the time.
This subtle lack of the sense of aver
sion has been manifested in every de
tail throughout the trial. Tom Owen
told how Beattie had insisted on wear
ing the blood-stained coat on the morn
ing after the murder, saying that the
stains would not show.
Beattie told how he and MI Sherer
had been nearly killed on a railroad
crossing while making the run one
morning to the court house.
"Sherer was going to jump out and
leave his prisoner" the boy laughingly
told. THAT was about as near as I've
come TO be free"
Sherer, later, was discussing a dan
gerous adventure in which he soon ex-
pected to participate. He declared that
he might not live through it.
I'll put flowers on your grave"
Beattie leaned over and said. politely;
then in an undertone, IF I'm here my

1t was not until the car passed
through Manchester. the outskirts OF
Richmond and Beatties home, and the
place where he superintended his faith

of the traits OF Mr.. Hyde, his twin per

WOLGAST-
 FIGHT TO BE STOPPED
Wisconsin Governor Will Pre- vent Propdsed Bout in
 Milwaukee Friday

Madison. Wis, Sept. 1.-The Vol gast- Mcfarland flight, scheduled for September 15 at Milwaukee will not be held
 Governor McGovern left Wisconsin for the East yesterday, leaving Lieu tenant Governor Thomas Morris of La Crosse, in charge. In communioa- tion to Madison friends MT. MOTHS said:
 'The laws of this State must be en- forced'~
 Inasmuch as the District Attorney of Milwaukee has interpreted the law as prohibiting the fight the Sheriff of Milwaukee County will be called upon to do his duty.
 Prize fight fans here hoped to pull the match off quietly without any pro- tests, but Milwaukeeans started a .clamor which has forced the Governor to take action.
 Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 11-Light- weight Champion Ad Wolgast contin- ued training for his contest with Pac- key Mcfarland in Milwaukee next Friday night despite the statement of Sheriff William A. Arnold that he would not permit the contest to be staged. Matchmaker Frank Mulkern reiterated his statement of last night that there would be no trouble in go- ing through with the contest; that the affair would not bd a prizefight but wotsad be a boxing contest, strictly within the law.

PIainfieId EIks
 Expect &g Victory

Deeply chagrined and considerably out of pocket by the failure of Man ager McCann's men to cop the grand old gonfalon in the State League race, Manager Waters of the local Elks baseball nine is determined that Bridgeport is regaled with some sort of championship honors, and acting accordingly, he gathered his brave band of diamond warriors about him last evening, and whispered unto them sweet words of advice. all of which translated into local English, means Bridgeport Eaks must beat that Plainfield nine next Thursday. They must. Now, that's all, they must"
 In taking this oath, the Bridgeport players undoubtedly did not realize the task they have assumed, for be 1t known that the Jersey team is one of the strongest clubs ever known in Elkdom, and its record this season Is most worthy one. In fact, they are rated as the Eastern Elk Cham pions, and AoOuld the local bunch de- feat them, they really will be entitled to great honors. This is the second meeting of these clubs, the first which took place at Plainfield a few weeks ago. resulting in a tie score, after a brilliantly played Il inning game.
 Judging from the interest which the game has aroused in local circles. a great crowd of fans will turn out to view the struggle. A large deleea ticn of Plainfield rooters will accom- pany the team in their journey. and they are expected to add much life to the afternoons program.

LATEST HAPPENINGS FROM
 VARIOUS DIAMOND CENTERS
Gossip of That Great Game and Also Some
 Comment on Big League Clubs
(BY Wagner.l

Battling Zeller is now receiving con- gratulations. You have, to hand it to him. He's the only man in the busi- ness who didn't know he had a ball team and then awoke to find himsels a pennant winner. In the middle of the season zeller thought so little of his, club that he was transferring games to other cities, because his team wouldn't draw at home. It was as big a surprise to him as anybody else when the club began to spurt.
 There were 1000 paid admissions al Steeplechase. It was the largest crowd that has seen a game there in many years. The only gathering that ap- preached it in size was the one thai witnessed the Chicago Cubs and Jim O'Rourke's team battle one Sunday about five years ago. This was the day the huge grandstand and bleach CTS at the island were burned.
 In one respect the Ponies had it or every team in the league. They had Greenwell and Case were a better quartet than any other club could boast. Bridgeport>s staff was second in effectiveness but the Mechanics had no one who could be relied upon as Bannister was by the Ponies.
 Sporting Editor Sullivan of the Springfield Union, and F. J. Collins who holds similar position for the Springfield Republican, were at the game Joe Whalen, who caught for Bridgeport last year, was also press representative from Springfield.
 There was a delegation of 200 root CTS from springield. Owner Jim Clarkin of the Hartford team WAS on hand to see the final contest,
 Skipper Hey was On deck at the needed time. He did more than his share to bring victory to the club and if some of the other players with big ger batting averages hadn't failed in a pinch, there might have been diff ferent story Eley has been playing fine ball for the last two montps and has won his way into the regard Of the fans after being in bad with them since his arrival here.
 Here's another case where good things were thrust upon Battling Zel- Ter Tn fact they had to be forced upon him before he, would take them. Genest, the leading base runner of the league. was offered to the Springfield manager in the beginning of the sea- son, but he couldn't see the youngster. He didn't think GeneSt would make good Jimmy Garry, who managed the Pittsfield club, insisted that Genest had the stuff. If he doesn't stick I'll buy you a new suit and if he does you buy me one,'' said Garry. And Zeller is probably glad to loosen up and buy

the new scenery for Garry.

In the last five games with able to make more than three runs in any one game. Yet they won three
 out of the five games. Good pitching teels the story.
 It was a rough night for straw hats in front of the Atlantic hotel Saturday
 evening. Skipper Eley came strolling out with his old lid on. and he was promptly bounced upon by an enthusi-
 astic mob. Benny Kauff, Lou Litschi, Foot RuelI and Harvey Russell, all lost their headgear Joe Waters. the we'll known fan, wore an old one to fool the crowd, and after that was
 broken he appeared in his best hat. He had two squabs in the Atlantic hotel pharmacy and he wanted to get i1l- to the store but was afraid to walk by the scouts in front. HaNey Russell followed Joe up and down Fairfield avenue and finally captured the sky piece. Fairfield avenue. was covered with ribbons, leather headbands and bits of straw after the fray.
 The fans were all talking about Rus sells catching last night. He certainly
 made some great plays and his throw ing was treat. His play on Miller
 when he caught the Cbief at third after Guest bunted, was corker and he also nailed Gardella and Swander
 when they tried to purloin second. Here's another instance Of the way
 things ran against Bridgeport In the
 seventh after Miller had doubled, Zel-
 Ter motioned to Waters to retire to let
 Mason bat for him. Then he changed
 his mind and allowed the catcher to
 bat. Waters promptly cracked out a two bagger. Mason then went in for
 Bannister and popped up a fly.
 Six pitchers were needed in the hpal Pittsburg game for the season in St. Louis, nearly all of the Smoky City twirlers being used in vain effort to avoid defeat.
 A1sore arm has temporarily retired Marty O'Toole and he will take treat ment at West Baden, Ind, pending the Pittsburg's series with Chicago and New York.
 The present week promises to prove the turning point in the Cubs Giants Pirates race for the National League gonfafon, with a. seeming advantage for New York. The McGraw crew have the lowly Bostons on for four games, while the bothersome St. Louis and bloodthirsty Pirates are the two problems confronting the Windy. City aspirants.

Aviator Hamilton
 Sprains His Ankle Stops Biplane to Prevent Acci- dent When Machine Runs
 Along Ground

Stamford, Sept. 11-After spraining his ankle so that he could not walk without assistance, Charles K. Ham ihton, the aviator, continued a series of exhibition flights at Woodwfde park Saturday afternoon. The crowd of c. 900 people applauded him for his pluck.
 The gasolene supply in Hamilton s biplane gave out when he was making his second flight. He glfded down from an altitude of 500 feet, and when the machine hit the ground the crowd swarmed out on the field. The mo- mentum sent the biplane along toward the crowd A small boy fell right Tn its path, and Hamilton dug his feet in the ground in an effort to stop the machine. He succeeded, but at the cost of a badly sprained ankle. The aocident delayed the third flight.
