LAWYER FOR DEFENSE MAKES
APPEAL TO FINER SENTI-
MENTs OF JURYMEN.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
S.-Henry Clay Beattie, Jr, on trial
for the murder of his wife, today
searched with unbroken gaze for
hours the expressionless faces of the
twelve country-folk who hold his fate.

mote, of yielding to the deep voiced
appeal of his attorney, Harry M.
Smith, Jr.
1t was a stare of manifest anxiety.
But the jurors held their secret.
Some of the eyes in the jury box fol-
lowed carefully the full gesturef
speech of the tall man at the bar,
earnestly beseeching them to con-
slider the past good character of the
accused and the inconceivability of
the murder being committed 'by a
man of such alertness and intelli-
gence."
Others of the jury looked distantly
through the window opposite them,
wearied of meeting the eyes OF a gap
ing crowd, which for a fortnight has
concentrated it's observation on them
Mr.. Smith reviewed the evidence in
detaily and continued the impeach-
ment of Paul Beattfe's testimony as
the keynote of his argument He
spoke for four hours, concluding just
before the luncheon recess. L. O.
wendenburg of the prosecution. be-
gan the closing speech or the trial
this afternoon.
"Have you not thought" said Mr..
Smith in conclusion, "that a verdict
of guilty means also the death of the
father and the disgrace Of the little
sister? Moreover, near her is a lit
tie boy who cannot even lisp his
prayers; his mother is gone and now
you are asked to brand the father as
the coolest blooded assassin Of the
twentieth century. May Jod give
you wisdom to do your duty"
The ending of argument for the de-
tense at the recess hour indicated
that the case would go to the jury
about or o'clock. Prosecutor
Wendenburg said at noon that he
would occupy the rest of the after
noon with his speech.

FISH GETTING SCARCE.
Trout and Herring Supply in Lake
Superior Being Depleted.


There is great need for protecting
trout and herring in Lake Superior,
according to the biennial report of the
Minnesota state fish and game COM
mission, which has just come from
the printers. j. G. Green, deputy game
warden at Duluth has reported to the
commission that the supply of trout
in the lake has been rapidly decreas-
ing for the past three or four years,
says the Duluth Herald. The number
of nets used to catch the fish during
spawning season is given as the rea-
son for this falling off.
The game decrease Is noted i'm the
herring, with a consequent annual ad-
vance in the price of that fish. There
Is a market for Lake Superior herring
as far east as Buffalo, south to st.
Louis and west to Butte. The nets
spread at the spawning grounds are

ever, and short closed season Is rec

The report shows that during 1910
the game wardens seized twenty-sev-
en- carcasses of deer which had been
shot out of season. They also collect
ed 900 pounds of moose meat, four
deer hides, 172 ducks and 1876 par
tridges, in addition to an assortment
of furs, headed by $50 muskrat skins.
They also took thirty-one guns and
