NO FULL JURY
BOX IN SIGHT
One Man After Another Is
Being Excused in Nc.
Namara Trial
JURORS MUST Be TAXPAYERS
1t Is Expected That the Sixth
Venire Will Be Entirely
Exhausted.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MexicanI
Los Angeles, Calf, Nov. 15.-Pros-
poets for a full jury box in the Nc
Namara trial receded rapidly today
when the first three men whose
names were called were excused one
after the other. T. J. Green, tales
man, accepted yesterday by both
sides as legally qualified to try James
B. Mcnamara for the murder OF
Charles J. Haggerty, victim of the
Los Angeles Times explosion, was ex.
cused today on medical certificate
regarding an intermittent illness. L.
S. Gilhousen, who followed Green
was excused because of his opposition
to capital punishment, and F. E. Al
derson, a venireman not yet called
into the box, was dismissed when it
was found he was not on the county
assessment roll, which is necessary
in California as a qualification for
jury service.
Michael W. Corcoran, talesman
accepted yesterday by the defense
was taken in hand today by Assistant
District Attorney S. l.. Vermila, for
examination by the state. Corcoran's
nationality and religious beliefs cor
respond with those of the defendant
He believed in labor unions to "a Ger
tain extent" he told Vermila.
1t appeared possible that the sixth
venire, of which only six men were
left at the opening of court today
might be entirely exhausted before
the box was filled. Three of the men
now in the box are sworn Jurors and
seven others have been accepted as
to cause by both sides.
Another TaIesman Accepted.
Los Angeles, Nov. 15.-Another tai
esman, making eleven in all virtually
was secured today in the Mcnamara
murder trial. He is G. A. Heath, an
Englishman by birth, and he was ac
cepted by the defense after an ex
tended examination. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney s. L.. Vermila, who ex-
amined Heath for the state, said in
the course of an intermission that he
looked like good man and would
be taken by the state unless some un
known and unexpected reason fo1
challenging him developed.
A feature of the day was the elimi
nation of M. W. Corcoran, 68 year!
old Corcoran, was excused by Judge
Bordwell, who interrupted the exami
nation by the state to say that he die
not believe Corcoran's age qualified
him to stand the strain of the lons
trial.

accepted, is eight years older thar

Imprisonment
WILL NOT SET A PRECEDENT
Petition Presented to Grant a
Respite from 1.-THE Gallows of
Thirty Days.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Richmond, Va, Nov 15.-Governor
Mann today declined to interfer in
the case of Henry Clay Beattie Jr,
and the young wife mlrderer's last
hope of escaping the electric chair on
Friday, November "a, was swept
away.
Attorneys for the condemned held
their last conference with the COVER
nor, and just before noon, the latter
announced his decision not to inter-
fere in any way with the decree of
the Chesterfield county court which
was sustained by the supreme court
of appeals of the state.
A petition had been presented to
the governor praying for a respite OF
at least thirty days for spiritual prep.
aration.
In a signed statement, Governo,
Mann said in part:
Il followed this case during the
trial and as its horrible facts were de-
veloped, regretted that crime so
cruel and malicious should have oc.
Cured 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 bene.
fit of every reasonable doubt to the
prisoner; that he uld not err is shown
in the refusal of the supreme court
of appeals to grant writ of error
That Beattie is guilty of the will
full, deliberate and cruel murder OF
his young wife l have not the slight.
est doubt, nor is it insisted that there
shall be any greater. relief offered
than the Communication of his sentence
to imprisonment for life.
Il do not think the affidavits Of
Paul Beattie printed in the papers, or
any other evidence of consideration
brought to my attention sufficient for
that purpose.
"To grant a respite in so plain a
| case would be to set a precedent,
would be to temporarize with the law
and to encourage appeals to the 81.
preme court with the sole purpose of
| gaining time.
II believe the best way to prevent
such crimes as this is to punish them
adequately, certainly and speedily.
Therefore, the judgment of the cir
cult court of Chesterfield will be car
/ ried into effect without interference
from me-"
Beattie VisibIy Affected.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 15.-Beattie's
father this afternoon told the prisoner
in the death cell of the penitentiary,
that the governor had refused all aid.
Young Beattie received it in silence,
the guards say, but his iron nerve
gave way at last and he was visibly
| affected at the loss of his last hope.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Ell Paso, Texas. Nov. 15.-The with
drawal last night of eight hundred fed
eral troops from Torreon, Mexico,
leaves Americans there in great dan
ger according to telegram received
from Torreon by local businessman
today. The message urges that the
government at Washington be notified
that Americans in the Mexican min.
ing city are in constant danger from
the thousands of native strikers
whose sentiments are declared to be
violently anti-American.
Massacre Of Chinese.
It was at Torreon that the massacre
of the Chinese occurred during the
rebellion against President Diaz last
winter. One of the pet grievances
among the more ignorant of the
poems was that nearly all executive
positions in Mexico were held by
Americans, although Francisco I. Ma
dero now president, always discour-
aged the idea, many of the poems be-
lieved that with the new regime in
the City of Mexico, Americans would
be driven out and their high salaried
positions given to Mexicans. This
is one of the disappointments which
adds to the ugly temper of the strik-
ing miners at Torreon.

TO RETURN HOME.
Will Aid in Attempt to Settle Revolu-

ple-Don't Think Diaz Will Resign
Calls Him Grand Statesman.

Paris, April 25.-General Bernardo
Reyes, the Mexican former minister OF
war, has received call from President
Diaz to return at once to Mexico. Diaz
asks his aid in the attempt to settle
the revolution. General Reyes expects
to start for New York within a fort
night-perhaps within week.
This is the distinguished soldier s
declaration. For many months General
Reyes has been living the life of a re-
tired officer, engaged in research work
on the problem of reconstructing the
Mexican army. Now all is changed.
The Reyes house in Neuilly Seine,
on the border of the Bots du Boulogne.
is the center of intense activity. Men
are coming and going, and whispered
conferences are continually under way.
AS thousands of Sunday strollers were
slipping beverages in the cafes near by,
General Reyes sat in his study, surround
ed by documents, bent over his desk,
arranging and discussing plans for his
new, and what he considers his greatest
MISSION.
81 am going home to help my coun-
try" he said. "After all, my mission
in Europe is terminated, and 1 am only
too happy to return to try to end the
present crisis. 1 am going back to help
President Diaz and the Mexican peo-
ple."
AS he referred to Diaz, General
Reyes eyes shone. He is slender and
supple, and nervously energetic. One
hand continually stroked the pointed
gray beard. Reyes did not look old
enough to have fought against Maxi
milan in 1864.
"Diaz is grand man." he continued,
ga grand statesman, who loves his
people. He is ready to make any sacri-
flee to have peace, but I do not believe
he will resign the presidency"

Business of Past Two Months.
"The postal savings banks system

is the comment by Postmaster General
Hitchcock on the analysis of the re-
turns from the 4s postal savings banks
that have been in operation since Janu-

Only 259 accounts were closed, the
total number of open accounts on Feb
ruary % being 1864.
The net amount on deposit after two
months of operation was $133,s69. If
the same rate of deposits and with
drawals is maintained for year, the
amount on deposit at the end of the
