"Mr. Wade, I can't take your case"
said John abruptly.

The railroad dearly wanted that
piece of land. 1t could not get it at
any price. The public clamor against
it frightened the town council into
refusing to negotiate. And without
It as a terminal the railroad would
have to tunnel under half a mile OF
mountain to bring it's goods into the
city.
John was the only man who knew
the facts from end to end. A precious
year, or two, even, would be required
to train another lawyer up to the

User Canal opposite 'steenstraete and
Hetsas under the combined fire of our

a bombardment lasting a few hours,
the Germans were able to penetrate a
small salient in our line between the
Navarin Road and the Sair.t Souplet
Road. To the northeast of the Butte
du Nesnil, the Germans tried again
by counter attack to dislodge us from
the part of the trenches which we
captured from them yesterday. We
repulsed them. We continue our
progress through hand grenade at

holding of a double inquest at the
Undertaking parlors of Messrs. J. T..

chapter of one of the most dastardly
murders that has ever occurred in PEI
tersburg was written into history. and
the question of who avenged the death
of Patrolman Robert Egerton Beas-
ley may never be answered is the
investigation of the coroner's jury In
the deaths of the slain and slayer
practically ends further legal inquiry.
All doubt, If any remained, as to
John Wooten being guilty of the muir
der of Patrolman Beasley was dis
PEELED through the evidence given by
Richard and Emily Bonner, his wife,
at whose home on the West Farm in
Prince George County Wooten was To-
Gated and MORALLY wounded by MEM
bers of the Petersburg police depart
ment. The evidence of Emily Bonner
was especially conclusive. She de-
sefihea graphically everything that
took place at her home and several
conversations that she and her hus-
band had with Wooten relative to the
murder of Patroman Beasley at Hall
fax and Mistletoe Streets at O'Clock
last Sunday morning.
According to her statement. Vooten
told Der that when the officer had
opened the signal phone box he trip
ped him and then struck him across
the head with the long stick. and as
he lay upon tho ground he beat his
face into nush.
The two verdicts read as Follows:
THAT officer Robert f. Beasley
came TO his death on February 8.
1915. from a fractured skull result
ing from injuries received at the
hands of John Wooten.
That John Wooten came to his
death on February 10. 1916, from a
pistol shot wound in the head by an

State Department has been giving con-

One suggestion was that the United
states might give warning to Ameri-
cans of the danger of travelling on
armed ships without changing its
regulations. which recognize the right
of merchantmen to carry small guns
for defense purposes. The other was
that the United States should both
amend its regulations and issue warn

the necessity OF extending them pro-
