SYDNOR EVIDENCE
 IS |NCRIM|NAT|NG The Net of Evidence Tight ening About Henry C.
 Beattie, Jr.

Richmond, Va, July 25.-Roland Syd- nor, a Chesterfield county dairyman to- day identified Henry c. Beattie, Jr., charged with the murder of his wife, a week ago as the man whom he say alone in an automobile early on the night of the tragedy, in the very spot where later the crime was committed and Beu- lah Binford. the 'other woman in the case" made a statement which is taken to furnish motive for the crime. These were the principal developments in the case today.
 The Binford woman is alleged to have admitted to detectives that short time before the murder Beattie said to her "Of course have no intention of spend ing my life with Louise. T nay have t1 lire with her as long as my father IS alice, but just as soon as the old man dies say kid you and l will run away together. 1 don't know whether we can get married or not but we will take a chance any way
 Mir. Sydnor, the dairyman, identified Reattie at the jail today. He said he  inc Midlothian turnpike about o'clock ou the night of the murder ana observed the solitary occupant of the car closely as his behavior was suspicious.
 Mir. Sydnor said the man got out ol the car and appeared to tinker with ons of the automobile tires. This was al the very spot where the crime was com mitted.
 MT. Sydnor's testimony is regarded as important since when Beattle left hts home to go for his wife at the home ol Thomas Owen, he should have arrived n a few minutes. It took him more thar an hour to make the trip
 It is said that Beulah Binford prob ablv will in the next few days be taken from the Henrico county jail and con fined in a jail in another part or the state in order to separate her irom lien rv Beattie and prevent any possiple eN- chance of messages between her and tile man who is now in the same Jail Wlth her. -

GOVERNMENT WINS
 WIRE TRUST' CASE
67 Indicated Men Change Pleas and Are Fined by
 the Judge

New York, July 25.-The federal gov ernment today scored heavily in Its ef- fort to break up the alleged wire trust" when 67 of the S3 men indicted June 29 withdrew the plea of not guilty and accepted sentence without trial on pleas of ''nolo contendere. Judge Archibald, in the United states district court, imposed fines from $looo to s17O0O and costs in each case.
 The action came in the face of viz orous argument against the acceptance of the plea by United States District Attorney Wise. It had never been ac- cepted in this court. he said, and he protested against a precedent. The remarked:
 This is what you might call trade offense. It is an offense which by the act. of Congress is against the interest of the business world. It seems to me l am not going out of the way when I say that just what was meant by this law has remained in considerable un- certainty up to this time. We now know exactly or very nearly what it means. and from this time on there will he no excuse but l feel Justified in 
 light and therefore l certainly regard this as calling for nothing except a proper vindication of the law by fine"
 l Sentence to pay the costs and fine of 5000 in each case was then pro nounced, with the provision that where a defendant has been fined in one case the fine should be $1O0 for each addi- tional case.

The meeting was perhaps the most enthusiastic ever held in the his tory of the organization and it will create new interest in the question or raising live stock as well as in the method of farming.
 The question of raising live stock and the new and scientific method of farming was aptly illustrated upon MT Derby's farm and he is perhaps today doing more to help the farmers of Alabama along these lines than any other man similarly situated in the state.
 The large number of farmers from the agricultural counties of the state who attended the demonstration meet ing held on MT. Derby's plantation to- day were greatly benefited. by what they witnessed, and by the different addresses which were delivered during
