Accused Man Asks "Other Woman"
Not to Forget Him.
STICKS TO ORIGINAL STORY
Beattie Continues to Exhibit Unruf-
fed Calmness, Insisting Stranger
Shot His Wife.

RICHMOND, Va, July 24.-Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr.. continued to exhibit an I'M
ruffled calmness today in his cell In Hen
rico county jail, where he is awaiting ac-
ton by the grand Jury August IA on the
charge that he murdered his young WIFE,
He still insists that It was not he, but an
unknown hlghwayman, who. with a shot
gun, killed Mrs. Beattie while they were
automobiling last Tuesday night on the
lonely Midlothian pike.
Beulah Binford, the seventeen-year-old
woman I'm the case" who, according to
the police, supplies a motive for the
crime, is in another cell in Henrico pris-
on, resigned to long Incarceration, as no
one has come forward to furnish the
81 900 bail demanded for her release and
appearance as a witness when the case
is called.
Paul Beattie, the cousin, refuses to talk
Of the case.
Sends Message to Woman.
Beattie spent a quiet day yesterday
in the Henrico county Jail, the Jail rules
not permitting Sunday visitors. Douglass
Beattie, a brother of Harry Beattie, was
the last visitor Henry Clay Beattie had
Saturday. He talked with his brother
for some time. and as Douglass turned
to leave when the time came for closing
the prison at night Henry Beattie asked
Douglass to say to Beulah Binford that
she must not forget him. The message
was delivered. Other than that there was
no exchange of messages, and there will
be none except by and with the con-
sent of the officers.
With the exception OF the request of
Henry Beattie to the woman, neither
made any reference to the other.
Beulah Binford asked Douglass Beattie
to go on her bond so that she might OBJ
tain her liberty. He declined. The father
was asked to go on the bond Of the wom-
an, but he has not yet done so.
Tried to Buy Pistol.
Under the laws Of the city, pawnbrok-
ers are not allowed to sell pistols. Chief
Werner knows that Paul Beattie first
tried to buy a pistol. He got that state
ment from Weinstein, the pawnbroker.
Weinstein refused to violate the laws and
to make himself liable to lose his license
and to pay heavy fine in addition
There is no impression that Beattie in
tended to marry the Binford woman in
case he should escape the death chair for
the murder of his wife. He was the idol
of an indulgent father. His every within
was gratified. and his every request was
humored. Mr.. Beattie, ST., thought well
of the marriage of his son to Miss Owen,
doubtless indulsing the hope that the boy
would then settle down and attend to
business and become a comfort to him in
his old age. The impression obtains that
young Beattie feared that his father
would, in case he left his wife. refuse to
longer continue his free access to the
bank account. The death of his wife
pace and to travel with his friends along
the white way of the city. That is the
idea which is now being advanced-one
of the many that are being discussed.

At not finding what seemed to them a

Rush for the Boxes.
Two hundred received boxes at the H
street agency, and late arrivals went
away unprovided, but were told to come
back. Some OF them brought initial kill
ings numbering from % to 500 anxious to
be first to bury their dead in DIR. Murray's
fly cemetery. Others had begun the work
OF determination, but had kept at home
the corpses of the quarry, intending to
make a better showing when they pre-
scented their record.
Quick and the dead were there among
the flies. liked for entry, but all the
live ones had something done to them
that made escape beyond possibility
Usually one wing was gone. and no fly
can soar away on one wing.
There were many who had not begun
the slaughter of the vicious insects. These
hoped to catch up by assiduous atten-
ton to the business In hand, day and
night. by special methods and exclusive
devices.
Those who brought victims were COM
mended for their expedition, and told to
come again with them. and more tomor-
row. Those who have not a thing to
show were advised Of the forwardness of
for lost time.
Each was interrogated concerning his
method of procedure. Some had swatters
at home; some brought them with them;
some were about to make them or to get
them at any one Of the hundred or so
business houses that have seized the oc-
casion to distribute swatters as an ad-
vertisement Of the business and alertness;
others propose to employ traps. boughten
and handmade: poisons Of unfailing fatal
ity, were the preparations for the mas
sacre that appealed to a great number
Then there was the boy who catches
them by hand. One little black chap told
of his plot to catch flies by putting an
old crab in a box, waiting until a million
flies settled upon 1t and then clapping the
lid upon 1t.
White and Black in Battle.
White and black boys and girls wanted
boxes. There were tall and short, fat
and slender applicants. There were
bright and stupid boys and girls and Of
all hues and compilations, red-headed
ones notably numerous. Some came from
near and some from far-even from
Maryland and Virginia, these proposing
to clear their communities of the pests
that menace the lives of Infants adoles-
cents and adults, their relatives and fell
low-townspeople- They came alone, in
couples, in fiyes, tens and in hordes.
Many Dragged of special opportunity.
Others Wanted their ingenuity in assem-
bling flies to the slaughter to come. Some
knew of butcher shops and green gro
ceries and stables and other places, ia
vorite haunts Of the predatory insect
scavenger. They proposed to get 'em.

Hundreds Early in Line
at Southeast Headquarters

The Stars f1yless city campaign start
ed with a rush in the southeast section
this morning. Long before the hour set
for distributing the boxes at 319 Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast-the Associated
Charities branch for that sectional string
of children, of all sizes, conditions and
color under fifteen years, stood patiently
in line from the Office door to the corner
of 4th street, waiting for the word that
would admit them. At the stroke Of 10
there was rush and a scramble that
for the moment threatened to sweep Miss
Nellie s. Spencer and Miss Fanny NJ.
King, in charge Of the branch, off their
feet For the first ten minutes order was
maintained with difficulty. At twenty
minutes past 10 every box was being toted
by as many children in the direction
where their bearers believed they could
find the most flies. About hundred
more children were clamoring for boxes
when Miss Spencer called the Killian
company over the telephone.
Unable to Supply Demand.
Send down some more boxes, lots OF
them, we can't supply the demand" was
Miss Spencers message.
The two Associated Charities represent
atives encountered difficulties in combining

four each. They were promptly held up,
relieved Of their supercargoes and told to
get busy with their killers.
You can have as many boxes as you
want-but fill them first" was Miss
Kings admonition.
A barefooted boy Of twelve or less
poked his head into Miss Spencer's Office
when the supply had been reduced to half
q dozen.
Wanted One for His Brother.
May take two Of 'em, nam? I want
one for myself and one for Joe-that's my
other brother. He's home tendin' the kids

IF Joe is a real brother and not one Of
the boys outside you can take two" said
Miss Spencer.

nearest him and darted for the street.
About 1O:45 a small coiored boy was
noticed sitting on the curb in front OF a
newsstand just above the entry to the
branch armed with a killer and intently

flies lighted on one of the piles he would

Boxes Gone in a Jitty at
Rhode Island Avenue Station

In fifteen minutes after the northern
701 Rhode Island avenue northwest, had
opened today. Miss Akard. the agent,
saw over 125 boys and girls. both white
and colored. take up the battle against
the fly. All trooped up the stairs of the
headquarters seemingly the very acme OF
enthusiasm. and asked for the boxes in
which they are to place the "swatted"
flies for the official counters of The Stars
contest.
When the Office was about to be opened
about seventy-five boys and girls were
gathered about the front door eagerly
awaiting their turn. Some were sitting
on the small fence near the door. and
the scene presented was that of one Of
the Fairgrounds with the children about
10 start 10 play.
Eagerness in Every Face.
Then when they were about TO be let
into the office there was much confusion.
Each one seemed to think that he could
not start after the fly until he had the
box to put the insect away in for safe
keeping, and more than one tiny foot
was trod on during the scramble Tor DO
sttion IN the line, and more than one pip
ing voice let out a YELL which seemed
to tell ever SO plainly that the owner of
the voice was being Disseminated
against by stronger neighbor, who In
sisted on pushing him or her out Of place
in the line.
During this time Miss Akard had her
hands full quoting more than one
Juvenile who assumed a boisterous atti-
tude. Then the little folk began troop
ing away with the boxes toward their
homes. and the chase for tho fly in the
northern part Of the city was on in
earnest

Southwest Boys and Girls
Jump Into the Battle

Long before 10 o'clock, the time set
for the distribution, hundreds Of young
residents OF Southwest Washington were
assembled in front Of the distributing
Office at the Southwest branch of the
Associated Charities, I'LL AZ street.
When Miss c. ]. Van Trump, in charge
of the agency, announced that the boxes
would be distributed a rush was made to
get into the Office, but the children both
black and white, male and female, were
told to assemble in line. as there were
enough boxes for all.
AS each one Of the prospective prize
winners was given a box, with the in
structions as to placing his or her name,
address and age on the top they left
the place and rushed Off to begin the
big war of determination
II am going to get a good, start on
you fellers,' said one little urchin, as
he darted down the street, not waiting to
get into the picture group. Others took
his cue and also left before the photogra-
pher could finish his work.
Shoots Them With Rubber Band.
Although many schemes to kill flies
are to be used by the children, one Of
the most unique was a rubber band at
tached to a small stick. which one of
the boys Of Southwest Washington de-
clared could kill them.

Hurry Call for More.

The boxes supplied to this station gave
out about IL o'clock. and a hurry call
was sent for more. Miss Van Trump
said when she went to the door to stem
the tide OF children pouring in with the
announcement that the boxes were gone
she found them coming from all direc-
tons by the hundreds.

For years Gods people have had ex-

we have read our Bibles too carelessly
and often have most OF us wondered
Mt the great stress ST. Paul laid upon
the resurrection. Rarely Is the subject
preached upon now and rarely IS II
ever thought Of except as an absurdity.
The reason for this Is not far to seek.
From childhood we have been taught
