to his home in a dusty public conveyance surrounded by the curious Forest Fires Menace Wires Forest fires sweeping through pine and scrub oak were burning tonight around the small Jail presumably started this afternoon by a match thrown aside by a spectator at todays proceedings More than half a mile of underbrush 200 yards wide had been burned tonight and farmers were fighting the blaze to protect their homes Isolated as it is in the rear of the courthouse lawn the Jail where Beattie is confined is in no danger but telegraph and telephone wires strung especially for the trial are threatened with destruction In charging the jurors who will be kept during the trial at an old tavern near the courthouse Judge Walter A Watson simply set forth the law of Virginia as applicable to homicide As the indictment covers all degrees from the first degree to involuntary manslaughter he explained that the defendant might be found guilty accordingly If you find him guilty of murder in the first degree said the court you shall say so and nothing more in which event the punishment shall be death but if you find him guilty of murder in the second degree you shall say so and shall fix his punishment by confinement in the penitentiary at not less than five nor more than eighteen years After citing the penalty for lesser de Watson attired in a linen suit appeared to be the coolest man in the room The courtesy that characterizes every act of Judge Watson was again illustrated today when a young newspaper woman came in after the trial had been started and was without a seat He held up proceedings jong enougn to direct an attendant to place a chair for her near the witness box As soon as court was opened Attorney I Hill Carter for the defense moved to quash the new venire The motion was promptly overruled by Judge Watson and the examination of talesmen was begun The first man of the new venire of 30 Sherman was set aside by the court when he declared that he had formed an opinion that would affect his eligibility as a juror Lester 35 was set aside and told to remain the court announcing that It would neither accept nor reject him at the time John Bailey a farmer aged 44 also was set aside for later judgment as to his qualification to serve Opposed to the Death Penalty William McEnally a middle aged farmer was asked to stand aside when he said that he did not believe in the infliction of the death penalty after any conviction upon circumstantial evidence Terence McEnally a brother expressed a similar view and was quickly discarded Thomas A Hancock a 37 year old farmer was found acceptable and took his place as a juror Lewis Robertson 44 also a farmer next was chosen With fourteen men in the box a brief recess for luncheon was taken at 115 Court

Beattie with attaches of the sheriffs office was making the trip from Richmond to the courthouse narrowly missed being hit by a Seaboard Air Line passenger train The automobile was halted on the eastbound track just in time to allow a train on the westbound track to pass Beattie smiled at the incident The cloud of dust kicked up by a machine juet ahead had obstructed the vis Ion of the chauffeur anil the chugging of the engine in his car which was flying along at the rate of 50 miles an hour deafened the driver to the screech of the locomotive whistle It was considered a miracle by

been apprehended by every person connected with the case from Judge Watson down that there would be much trouble in selecting a Jury and arrangements had been made for calling upon men from adjoining counties in case a panel ould not be complet ed from Chesterfield county Many times Judge Watson has said almost wistfully that he hoped and believed a jury could be secured from the citizens of Chester Held There is a difference of opinion as to just what this eagerness indicates Many believe it amounts almost to an outcropping of the lynch spirit under the auspices of the law and that these men are anxious to have punished the man they believe killed his wife Other people believe it is simply the desire of men living lusterless quiet Uvea to leap into a little prominence and publicity even If their fame be but reflected And a study of the faces of the men lends color to this last theory Ellington a Southern Railway engineer who was reported to have seen Paul Beattie on the night of the murder not far from the Belt Line tracks thereby giving a blow to the alibi of Paul Beattie has been shown by the railroad records to have been in Danville the night of the killing Rowland Sydnor a Midlothian dairyman wanted by the defense said today I was surprised shocked and incensed when I read that I was a turncoat witness This is a mistake and whoever repprted It was misinformed or not trn formed at all I have not been summoned as a witness for either the defense or the prosecution When I am summoned I will then and only then tell what I saw and what I know Mr Sydnors name was given to Clerk Cogbill on Monday a fact which Smith jr corroborated yesterday Officially he Is a witness unless his name Is withdrawn later Binford Girl Angry Beulah Binford was angry today that she was not to be brought to Chesterfield The detectives who must keep her in good humor to make sure that she repeats on the stand the story she has told them are worried lest In a fit of sulks she denies everything she has ever said and tries to shield Beattie Beulah wants to be where the cameras are clicking where staring eyes are fo cused upon her where she hears her name gossiped from one man to the oth 5 LARGE BOTTLES TO KALON CLARET A special TdrKalon Claret of just the proper quality for Punchi San garee and Lemonade TO KALON WINE CO Store 1 405 Sti Ni Wi m998 er She wants to be out In front where the newspaper men carf get a good look at her and make no mistake about her looks She is inordinately vain Inordinately selfish If she believes that she can help Beattie she would help him because she thinks that the public expects her to If she feels that the slightest punishment will be meted her if she goes to his side She will give testimony against him These re the conclusions of men who have known her for years and who have watched her conduct while In jalL She sees opening ahead of her vast vistas of moneymaking on the stage Occasionally she tries to sing In the Henrico jail and the result is saddening Still she thinks that she can do a turn as w7ell as lots of others Every one will want to see me wont they she asks the jailers She has heard that Nan Patterson was hooted from the stage after her acquittal of the murder of Caesar Young but she does not think that history can repeat in her ca3e So far she has received no stage offers although she gets many letters each day on vari colored note paper proposing marriage to her Farmer Offers Her a Home Some of the offers are evidently jokes others are couched in a selfsacrificing soul saving spirit Beulah laughed Jong and heartily when she read the letter of one man in which the writer told her that he would offer her a home in the mountains of Kentucky a man who would respect her if she behaved her self and give her a chance to wipe out the sins of the past After describing the cow she was expected to milk and the furniture of the house he told her that the offer would be open until three days after the Beattie trial Is over Gee think of me mllkln a cow said Beulah clipping a three column picture of herself from a Chicago newspaper Beulah passes her time easily in the jail but Paul Beattie cousin of the accused does not He blames Henry greatly for dragging him into the affair by sending him for the shotgun and he is acutely aware that his entire life has been raked over by defense and prosecution One of the Richmond papers printed a story that threw strong suspicion upon him For the first time since Mrs Beat tie was killed Paul seemed to realize that he might be suspected of complicity in the murder He sent for Detective Luther Sherer who arrested Henry Beattie and begged that he be assured that he was not suspected Paul Is weak naturally and the strain since his confinement has been great It is expected that under the gruelling cross examinationexamination of Attorney Smith he will go to pieces Smith is said to be the greatest cross examiner In Virginia He is a fighter from the start and has a peculiar form of attack upon a recalcitrant witness Beulah Binford will not fare well at his hands His associate Hill Carter is of the more sedate dignified school to a great extent an office lawyer but an authority upon appeals McCue Case Rulings Guide Court Already the defense has noted a score of exceptions to the rulings of Judge Watson and it is the intention of Beat ties lawyers to continue a campaign of delay and objection during which grounds for an appeal will be sought In decision in ihe Beattie cpse the court is guided largely by the action of the supreme court in the case of Samuel McCue a well known Virginian tried and convicted of murder The defense took 45 exceptions to the higher court and all were flatly refused Mc Cues attorneys were afraid to put him on the stand The question today is whether Beattie will be allowed to testify in his own behalf While the defense will attempt to prove positively that his story of the shooting of his Wife Is correct It is hard to See how this story will be gotten before the jury unless he is allowed to tell It He contends that a bearded man emptied his shotgun into Mrs Beat tie while ridings on Midlothian road If he goes on the stan 1 he will be subjected to the cross examination of Prosecuting Attorney Wendenburg If he does not go on the stand the jury composed mostly of farmers will think that he has something to conceal The action of Judge Watson in allowing the twelve jurymen chosen Monday to go to their homes has caused much comment here The defense will use this as grounds fur an appeal if the case is decided against Beattie An interesting point of law will flgur prominently in the trial Every homicide in the State of Virginia is presumed to be murder In the second degree In order to elevate It to the first degree the Common wealth must furnish the proof while to reduce it to manslaughter the defendant and his counsel must furnish evidence LICENSED TO MARRY Robert Moore 23 of

Thursday afternoon CastletonN Aug 23 On the last lap of his flight from St Louis to New York Harry Atwood the aviator tonight has his aeroplane hitched to an apple tree on top of a hill here overlooking the Hudson River and Albany 8 miles to the north Tomorrow Atwood expects in what he calls two bird hops to complete his journey In New York landing in Sheepehead Bay with a possible preliminary circle over Governors Island On landing the Boston aviator will have accomplished the longest flight ever made by man in a heavier than alr machine He will hold the worlds record for a cross country flight and he believes he has set a pace in the development of aeroplanes which will result in more long distance attempts and a gradual elimination of fatal contests at aviation meets Will Take Three Hours Atwood hopes to sail over the 134 miles between here and New York before mid afternoon It is not probable that he will make it without a stop on the way because he carries only twelve gallons of gasoline and uses one gallon to every 10 miles He hopes to make his first hop the longest so that he will be able more accurately to estimate the actual time of his appearance over New York His actual flying time from here down he thinks will be much less than three hours When he landed here Atwood In ten days had flown 1131 miles from St Louis without any mishap more serious than losing his way In a run from Lyons to Auburn His biplane has endured the test without damage It was only because of a slight wearing of the bearings of his engine that Atwood decided not to continue his flight tonight but to put everything in shape for smooth sailing tomorrow His mechanics prepared to work on the biplane all night attaching pontoons for possible landings in the river To Follow the Hudson Leaving here probably early Atwood will take a straight course down the river His appearance over Rhlnecllff opposite Kingston will mark his break ing the worlds record for cross country flying for at that point he win have ex ceeded by 13 miles the present record of 1164 miles At New ork he win have rflown 1265 miles or 101 miles above the present record Atwoods flight today of 66 miles between Fort Plain and Castleton was the only days run which he started and ended before noon From Fort Plain where he ascended In a fog at 725 a he swept through the Mohawk valley turned the corner for the south at Albany and landed here at 912 a He stopped 15 minutes en route for gasoline making his actual flying time 1 hour and 32 minutes Tries to Avoid Crowds Over villages and cities disregarding all offers of money bonuses to land in places where great crowds awaited him Atwood sailed through the valley in the fog and against a wind After shunning hospitality all day he landed on the property of an irate farmer who protested against the appearance of the manbird and its consequent Inrush of the people The more the farmer protested the greater became the crowd and soon a nearby apple orchard was denuded of its fruit The 27 year old aviator who has flown over portions of six States and along the edges of two lakes said tonight that he regarded the approach of New York merely as the preliminary of still longer flights he is planning to take MAKES FLIGHT WITH CUPID Aviator Peck Is Married to Miss Ruth Owen in This City Paul Peck the young Washington avl ator

approaching wedding of Miss Madeleine Force and Col John Jacob Astor of New York meets with the disapproval of former Gov Pennypacker who terms the proceedings dlsgracefulbecause Col Astor was divorced by his wife who was Miss Willing of Pennsylvania and forbidden under the decree to remarry Gov Pennypackers reference to the union of Miss Force and Col Astor was made today during a talk on the need of uniform State divorce laws He said the wedding would set a harmful example A resolution introduced in the closing days of Congress requiring President Taf to call a conference of governors to consider a divorce law to be either uniform in all States or national In its scope does not appeal especially to Mr Pennypacker The reason Is that Mr Pennypacker thinks that such a conference of governors called by the President savors too much of Federal interference in State matters and besides he points out that the law drafted by the national congress on uniform divorce in 1906 is a sufficient basis for the various State legislatures to act on LOOK For the Special Announcement of the 20000 Cement Works at Employing tOO MEN 40 DROWN AS BIYEKSBISE Destructive Storm Sweeps Ovet the
