An important development has
been the agreement Of all parties to

the fruit growers Of the Niagara

unalterab1y opposed to reciprocity.
He unquestionably is the most pop

conservatives have withdrawn their
candidate, SO that he will be elected
by reclamation. Antireciprocity
has thus scored first blood.

Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Sept. 4.--Henry Clay Beattie. Jr.,
indicted for the murder of his wife
in a secluded spot on the Midlothian
turnpike last July. had q conference
with Harry M. Smith, Jr., his law
yer, yesterday. Beattie took the
witness stand today in an effort to
clear himself Of the charge against
him. The conference was brief.
Mr.. Smith finally shook the hand Of
the prisoner and bespoke him best
wishes for the events Of today.
.I'm very glad to get the chance

tween Henry and Paul." continued
the lawyer, land l reckon the jury
will soon decide the issue when

story of the affair.

lawyer always have found that an
innocent man wants to take the
stand to tell his own story TO the
fury. 1 always leave it to the pris.
oner himself to determine whether
or not he shall do this. Beattie has
been absolutely insistent from the
first that he tell his story in his own
words"
Beattie did not look as bright
yesterday as he has on other occa-
sions since the trial began. His face
was pallid and his eye lids sagged
as if he had lost sleep. The uncom-
Portable little cell that he occupied
was cherries.
The prosecution is prepared to at
tack the prisoners story with mer-
CHESS fire. Prosecutor Wengenburg
is primed for the occasion with doz-
ems of letters and statements with
which he expects to surprise the ac
cused. In the rebuttal which will
follow on Tuesday, the common
wealth will bring to the stand maLy
witnesses which it has purposely
withheld until the story of the ar
cused is before the jury. Benlah
Binford, the so-called girl in the
case, may take the stand to confront
the prisoner.
Various surhises have been ram
pant as to what kind of testimony
she would give.

so quickly.

the nerve and strength he did in our
first contest. He was not agrees

When I saw that Hackenschmidt did
not try to break down my defense
or squirm out of holds, became de-

When Obliged to sit down to play

cursed below his breath the game and
its detestable inventor. He paid nc

therefore seldom spoke to each other.
During the entire winter the magls-

young girl ten times. But at least he

itself to his INA Siuation but he never

convinced she would shut his mouth

attempt the thing would be to risk,
without chance of success, his pres

The Quebec courts wanted the men
back there, whereas Extradition
Commissioner LaFontaine wished tC
| hear the case against them in Mon
| treal. Finally the Quebec judge
scored and they were returned to
that city. On August -. 1902,
Judge Caron dismissed all charges
against the prisoners, decision
which aroused storm of protest
from the press both in Canada and
the United States. The United States
government then appealed to the
English privy council, which decided
against Gaynor and Greene. The
men then applied for a writ of ha-
beas corpus, which was denied.
Following their return to Savan-
nah, Gaynor and Greene, who had
already spent over $75O.0OO in their
defence, appealed to the Supreme
court Of the United States on a
technicality, but they again lost, and
the judgement against them, which
covered a fine of the same amount
as the money supposed to have been
taken, was affirmed. The legal bat
tie lasted over six years and it was
not until the beginning Of 1907 that
the men were received at the Federal
prison in Atlanta to begin serving
their sentences.

GREENE AND GAYNOR
NEAR FREEDOM

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. L. Messrs
Gaynor and Greene. two of the mos
noted inmates of the big Fedora
prison here, will be released from
that institution within few days
Under the good-behavior rule theil
sentence Of four years was cut dowr
70 three years and one month, which
period will expire next week. The
exact day of their leaving the prison
has been kept secret, owing to the
desire of the prisoners to avoid pub
hcity. They will be met at the pris-
on gates by the members of their
families, who have resided in Atlanta
the most of the time since Gaynor
and Greene began serving their SEN
fences. According to popular belief
both prisoners have managed to re-
oRin considerable part of their
large fortunes and it is rumored that
. long sojourn in Europe will follow
their release.
1t is doubtful if any case Of its
kind in the history of the country
has attracted more attention than
shat of John F. Gaynor and Benja-
min D. Greene, chiefly because Of
the long legal battle they waged to
escape trial. Their troubles began
IN December, 1900, when both were
indicted by the Grand Jury in Sa-
vannah, of having defrauded the
government in conspiracy with Capt.
Cberlin M. Carter, OF the United
States Engineer Corps. 1t had been
demonstrated that Carter for years
had conspired with the Atlantic Con-
struction Company, of which Gaynor
and Greene were the chief partners,
20 the end that only this company
could bid for work of river and har-
Dor improvements around Savannah;
chat Carter drew specifications that
only the Atlantic people could meet
On time, and that in this and other
ways the government was defrauded
Of about 100000.
Carter was convicted and sentenc-
I'd to prison and to pay fine. Gay
nor and Greene, being arrested in
New York, began to contest extradi-
tfon to Georgia. They carried the
ease finally to the Supreme court,
which decided against them; and on
the eve of their being taken to Geor-
gia they fled, leaving their bonds
men tc forfeit altogether the sum of
$4,000. On May IL, 1902, they
turned UP at Chateau Frontenac,
Quebec. Proceedings for their ex-
tradition were at once begun. The
Canadian officers, fearing delay, ar
rested them and took them by boat
to Montreal. The prisoners lawyers
tried to stop the tug and serve writs
OF habeas corpus, but hey failed.
With the prisoners confined in
Montreal there was a repetition of
the old struggle between the courts.
