w. J. Chamberlain, of the Cham
berlain sampling works, was in town
Wednesday, investigating the Gug-
genheim smelter trust and trying to
locate where the leakage between
the producer and the spculator lay.
He had a conference with some of
our assayers and we believe that the
verdict was that the first class ore
leaked through the bottom of the
wagons as the GRE was being hauled
down the hills. We are so glad that
the trust was so kind as to locate
it for us. a petition is now being
prepared to present to the city coun-
Gil, compelling all ore haulers to have
ircn bottomed wagons and give the
miner the benefit of this great waste.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch
Sir.-When civilization was shocked
last year by the Bcatt!e murder IN the
Old Mother State of Virginia. il walt
ed with deep expectancy for the law
to vlndicate with full retribution the
appalling crime. How we'll this cxpec-
tation was satisfied IS universally
known. The trial was with the high
est degree of dignity, and justice tenn
pered with mercy that could possibly
be performed. II gave the old home
State high place In the realms OF
civilization in Jurisprudence. and
taught grcn; lesson by way OF ex-
ample 10 our oT courts. where trick S
OF the law have made trials too often
contemplate travesty.
But. scarcely had this deplorable
spectacle OF degenerate crime been dis
posed OF when the grand old state
mad to face another reprehens!ble and
unwonted outrage OF crime. in the
shooting up OF one OF her courts by
q band Of mountainous. who, through
disregard for the established laws had
come TO suppose their own codes should
prevail Suffice 81 TO ray, the court
knew and was apprehensive OF what
might occur, but for some unknown
reason did not exercise that prudence
that ordinary communities would ex-
ercise, and omitted searching every
person for firearms when admitted TO
the court. Therefore the crime o!
omission. which is as great, II not
greater than commission, was the re-
suit In the absence OF the evidence
adduced at the trial and known to
the Governor of Virginia. ii seems un-
thinkable that any twelve juryincn
could beyond a reasonable doubt" con
vict any one present in that courtroom
melee of murder in the first degree.
All my interest in the case is pro
bono publ!co. and that public protest
may awaken the Governor to n point
of view that these poor misguided men
should not so to the electric chair by
any other consideration than the strict
balance % Justice, that the state Of
Virginia should not lower the pennant
of righteousness established by her
long historical character. and by the
wholesome and exemplary disposition
Of the Henry Beattie case. / confess
have not the remotest thought that
the court that tried these Aliens or the
Governor feel that they are just lean
ing 10 the punishment of some one to
vindicate the case. regardless of the
logical situation a $ have tried here
to point out, but seems so on Its face.
