"Much has been published concern ing the details, which is not true; but the awful fact, without harrowing cir cumstances remains.

(Signed) "HENRY CLAY BEATTIE, Jr." issued a second Later Rev. Fix statement, in which he said that Beat tie had desired to thank his many friends for kind letters, and the pub lic for whatever sympathy it felt to ward him. Beattie is said to have admitted that he had carefully planned to mur der his wife, and that he wanted her out of the way because he wanted to live with a woman, probably Bulah Beau lab Das Sleeping. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—While Henry Clay Beattie was dying in the electric chair, Beaulah Binford, the light o' love for whom he killed his wife, and who was the mother of his child, slept soundly after a cheerful night at the theatre with a small party of friends, members of the family, with whom she is staying. Binford, whom he did not want to marry. He confessed that he was glad his wife was dead when he thought he was free. Beattie had planned in advance to tell the highwayman story, but he lacked the cunning, and wasn't a good actor. Four months ago, on a dark July night, Henry Clay Beattie returned from a joy-ride on the lonely Midloth ian turnpike with the blood-stained body of his wife held close to his side in his auto. But an hour before the couple had left the home of the girl's uncle, Thomas Owen. There the body of the dead woman was taken, and there Beattie told a story of a bear ed highwayman who help up his ma chine in the road, after the auto had nearly run him down. Beattie said that when he started his auto to run away from the bearded stranger, who was armed with a shotgun, the man fired at the machine, killing Mrs. Beattie. While the family of the dead girl mourned her death at home, Beattie, with police officials, and private de tectives scoured tha neighborhood for traces of the bearded highwayman. The blood soaked auto in which he had carried his wife's body was pressed into service and Beattie him self ran the gruesome vehicle up and down the Midlothian turnpike through the night. Just as dawn broke, on July 19, Luther L. Sherer, a Chespeake and Ohio Railroad detective, brought into the case by the girl's family, reached the scene of the crime with a brace of bloodhounds. Then the first sus picion of Beattie himself took root. The bloodhounds circled wide about the place through woods and fields, but baying loudly they invariably returned to the spot, where Beattie declared his auto stood when his wife was shoot. A short time later a negro "mammy" found a single-barreled shotgun, identified by Beattie as the gun with which his wife was killed, at a rail road crossing about halfway between the scene of the crime and the Owen home. Beattie in his stories of the killing of his wife told widely differing tales. He was particularly contradictory in his description of the man whom he accused of the shooting. For three days detectives worked with all their energy without definite result but gathering a mass of circumstances that seemed to point to eBattie, The his tory of the young son of the wealthy merchant, as a Lothario of South Richmond, and his relations with the beautiful seventeen-year-old Boulah Binford, were discovered. The de tectives unearthed the story of Henry Clay Beattie Trout, the child born to Beulah Binford and Henry Clay Beattie in 1909. Meanwhile the body of the murder ed girl-wife was buried from the church where a short year before she had been married to Henry Clay Beat tie.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—Another attempt to secure the release of Chas. Morse, the New York banker and ice magnate, imprisoned at Atlanta was made today when a new appeal for a pardon was presented to President Taft by Morse's attorneys. An immed iate pardon was asked, the grounds being that Morse is near death. He was sent to Atlanta, for 15 years, in 1910 for the misappropriation of the funds of the New York banks he con trolled.

Young says she was here in 1904. lays in a case which had its inception in a federal injunction against the packers to prevent their combine, and which was directly instituted February 20, 1905. It is almost six months since the packers entered pleas of not guilty and in that time they have availed themselves of ever possible legal de vice to prevent trial. eight months was Imposed on W. J.

The governors were passing Moscow's carload exhibit, when P. L. Orcutt, who is in charge, loaded them down with the beautiful Wagoners, and they went around in the big exhibit during the afternoon munching upon the Moscow fruit and praising it above all others. The two governors wore delighted with the taste and flavor of the Wageners and are quoted as say ing that they never had tasted a more delicious apple. Such is the report brought from Spokane today by Earl David, who was a delegate from Moscow to the show, as escort to Moscow's princess, Miss Anna Cameron appeared last eve ning in the big parade, and caused much comment, and favorable by her A FOLLETTE WILL FIGHT MAIL GRAFT NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Declaring that the fight against the alleged rail road graft of millions annually in ex cessive charges for postal car serv ice will be taken up vigorously by the next congress, Senator Robert M.

ED HOWE'S JOKE. Ed Howe, who has retired from the editorial chair of the Atchison Globe to run a farm on Potato Hill, near that city, has perpetrated a practical joke on the readers of a little magazine he edits on his farm. He put on the corner of a recent magazine the fol lowing motto: "We must all learn to be absolute with the absolute, infinite with the in finite, yes, One with the One." Some of his readers took it serious ly ancj became enthusiastic over it, and one man wrote to Mr. Howe that this motto would regenerate mankind and ordered 100 extra copies to dis tribute among his friends. "Had you never written another thing," he wrote, "your name should pass to posterity among the immortals for the superb motto on the cover of your August number." Mr. Howe now says that he did not know what the motto meant when he wrote it, and he does not know now. He merely expressed a modern inanity, just to see how it would take. And it took. "I can see nothing whatever in the motto quoted," says Mr. Howe. "I do not know what it means. If you see any thing, if you pretend that you under stand the sentiment, then you should take something for it." There It is In a nutshell. Nine tenths of our modern cults have grown up around just such "philosophy" as was voiced in Mr. Howe's "joke," aifd a big per cent of their devotees "should take something for it." Howe's philosophy reminds us of a us a man with blue sky in his soul to raise hogs." We'll bet Ed Howe raises "hawgs" on his Potato Hill farm. CORRUPT FOOTBALL Dr. Charles McCarthy, assistant football coach at Wisconsin for many years doesn't think the football scandals of a few years ago have cleaned up the game in any way. "I know that never in the history of football,'' he says, "was there more corruption than at present. In the East it is even the custom to pick out some heavy boy with fair intelligence and get an alumnus to see that he gets through 'prep' school and then college. They are careful not to get plug uglies. It is systematic and well organized. "In the West, as well as in the East, alumni associations will loan money to a promising man on a note. If he KANTLEEK Hot Water Bottles and Fountain Syringes 99 a I

We may be pretty bad out here in the wooly wilds of Idaho, indeed no one less than an attorney general -has indi cated that we are, but we still can rejoice that we haven't got carpet bag gers on our football team. HIGH TAXES. Before Nez Perce county was divid ed the advocates of county division said that taxes would not be any high er after division than before. The Star disputed this, and opposed any division of the county, claiming that taxes would be much higher if the county were divided. Now let us see who was correct. County values have been made public and the following figures speak for themselves. The amount of money to be raised by taxation in old Nez Perce county in 1910—before Clearwater and Lewis counties were cut off—was $249,890.2 1 The amount to be raised this year in what little is left of old Nez Perce county is $297,665.55. Thus, you will see, that the present little Nez Perce county must pay $47,769.31 more in taxes than all the three counties paid last year before a division was made. This is a pretty high price to pay for the pleasure of supporting three sets of county officers instead of one set. But the politicians must have a job.—Potlatch Star. if anybody doubts that China has become civilized, the story of the Em press Dowager's elopment ought to set the matter at rest, says the Port land Oregonian. With exact fidelity to civilized proprieties she has fled with an actor. Short of choosing a chauffeur we do not see how she could have demonstrated her modernity more convincingly. We expect to hear with in a few weeks that the couple have reached these shores and gone into audeville. V AST OF STAND= ARD OIL STOCK NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Directors of the Standard Oil company at one of next week's meetings will take up the matter of a farewell dividend. The unofficial understanding is that the usual disbursement of $10 will be made for the final quarter in the corpora tion's history. That distribution will be positively the last on the stock of the Standard Oil company of New' Jer sey. Thereafter some thirty-five lesser dividends will supplant the former single dividend. Some of the lesser dividends will be very small, indeed, according to reckonings. One subsidiary probably will not be ly per share in good times. On odd fractions, that company's disburse ments will be theoretical—that is, in mills and parts of mills. Two Are Married hy a Woman. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Nov.,24.-— 1 The first St. Joseph wedding to be performed by an ordained woman minister took place this week when Mrs. Laura H. Harnols, wife of a civil war veteran, married Murry S. Ingles to Mrs. Lula Ferrell. Mrs. Harnols, who is of the United Brethren church, has been filling a pulpit at times in Troy, Kan., as she has no regular charge. She is a mis sionary evangelist for the Conference. "My home duties prevent me doing all I would like to along this line,'' she said "I did not attend a theologi cal school but did all my studying at heme." Kansas It you want any kind ot Feed, Hay or Building Material Why not get it where both quality and prices are right LAUDER LINA AND BOB ASKED TO KISS AND MAKE UP PARIS, Nov. 23.—President Monier of the Palace of Justice today issed official papers inviting Robert N.

This is called the act of reconcilia The judge fears It is useless in the present case, but he must comply with the code of Napoleon. Sheriff Bob and the diva both have said they will not accept the invita tion. tion. President Monier's Invitation is the second act of the divorce procedure in France. As both are impulsive nnd romantic. Monier is most anxious the parties should enact a reconciliation scene. He says he has known even scoldings and swearing husbands and wives, when brought together for the reconciliation scene, to kiss and make up and live happily ever after.

SEVEN CENTS DAILY FEED THESE GIRLS CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 24.—For the week ending today at noon several young women, pupils of the senior class of the Cincinnati Kindergarten Training school, conducted an exper iment in dieting, the results of which indicate it is quite possible for the working girl with a knowledge of food preparation to get good food at an average of 12 cents a day. If she can't afford this she can get along nicely on as little as 7 cents a day, which is what the young women accomplished in their trial. To carry out the test thoroughly the girls were given a model flat, fitted up by the school board. They did their own housekeeping and market ing, and prepared their meals, be sides doing their regular class and spe cial work. Here is the "7-cent menu" which established the record in economy; Breakfast. Corn meal mush and milk, brown bread or toast, coffee or cocoa. Luncheon. Peanut sandwiches, bread and jelly squares, fruit. Dinner. Split pea soup, cream codfish on toast, apple dumplings with sauce, tea. The average cost of this day's nour ishment lor each member of the ciass was 1 3-4 cents a meal. "And we were satisfied and well nourished," one of the girls said to day. day. "We have done all our work in scientific fashion, weighing every par ticle of food used, and determined just what element of nourishment it would afford. We found that much can be done with dried vegetables and fruits, which only require to have the cessary water added to. them and sea soning."

PHONE ORDERS TO 112 R, ROSELAWN GREENHOUSE SCOTT BROTHERS The first act in the divorce drama took place yesterday when Cavalieri, accompanied by her lawyer, Albert Clemenceau, brother of the former prime minister, George Clemenceau, went to President Monier's court to press the divorce proceedings. Sub dued expressions of admiration were heard as Cavalieri, enveloped in a gorgeous sable mantle, tripped lightly across the hall. The diva says she has lost in every way by her marriage with Chanler— financially by giving up her engage ments: artistically by reason of scan dals resulting from tile union, and so cially by marrying a man beneath her. She says marriage and art are like oil and water—they won't mix—and she declares that from this on she is only going to be an artist, with no wifely ambitions. périment will be applied when a model working girls' flat is establish ed in connection with the Schmidlapp model homes. "There is a meaning in all this ef fort to reduce the cost of living," one of the girls said. "If a working girl can be helped to living better on her modest wages, it means she is just that far safeguarded from dangers of many kinds," The result of the model school for training the girls for the duties of a wile has been successful, and it is very probable the school board will fit up another in the near future. CHICAGO EMPLOYERS PLAN XMAS GIFT CHICAGO Nov. 24.—If plans now under formation are carried out Chi cago corporations, banks, department stores and leading industries of eve ry kind will distribute this year nearly $2,000,000 to their employes as Christ mas gifts.

Nearly every large firm will distribute gratuities with a more lavish At the International Harvester com pany it was said that nothing has as yet been decided.

CHANGES DATE OF PILGRAM LANDING PLYMOUTH, Mass., Nov. 24.—Sev eral long-cherished tradtions among descendants of the Pilgrims have been given body blows- by Rev. D. W. Dor nan, pastor of the Church of the Pil According to Mr. Dornan, of Priscilla, "Why grimage. the native query don't speak for yourself, John," is don't you speak for yourself, John," is merely poetic fancy. John Alden never came to Priscilla Mullins as spokesman for Miss Miles Standish, but courted Priscilla for himself, says the pastor. He also affirms that Capt. Standish did not want Priscilla, any how. Pastor Dornan assails the story about the crack in Plymouth Rock. He says we have the wrong date for the landing of the Pilgrims, and intimates that the Pilgrim fathers, and mothers, too, hardly let their husbands and wives get cold in the ground ere they married again. Fixes Pilgrims' Landing, Pastor Dornan said: "It is not my purpose to antagonize, but many of the old traditions connected with Pil grim history are absolutely ground less. "First, I would say that the Pil grims landed here the 21st day of De cember, 1620, and not the 22d, as most persons believe. When the historians figured out the dates after the chang ing from the Gregorian to the Caesar ian calendar they forgot, when they subtracted the necessary .ten days that all the events took place over a century back, and I find that the 21st was the real date." Mr. Dornan denounced those who al lowed the figure of 1620 to be inscribed on Plymouth Rock. He said; "I consider that act one of the gross est sacrileges ever perpetrated. That rock is far more sacred than the temples of old which are guarded with jealous care. Miles Standish Tale Exploded. "Show me," he said, "where is there any history which says that Capt. Miles Standish ever courted Priscilla Mullins. The from the loss of his beloved wife, Rose, would naturally have looked back to her sister in England, and the only instance I have ever heard in his tory was some mention of this fact. John Alden courted and won Priscilla Mullins for himself and himself alone. "The Pilgrims did not believe in liv ing single long after the death of a wife or husband. The mother of Pere grine White, the first white child born in America, was married to Gov. Wins low when she was but twelve weeks a widow, and he was but eight weeks a widower."

He is not, as might be supposed, a great, painted, gaily bedecked, dusky walrrior with an unpronounceable name, but a short, quiet, unobtrusive Yorkshireman, named John Boyes. He won his kingdom by bluff and the aid of a clock with a musical box attachment, and retained it with the assistance of a gramophone and a knowledge of sleight of hand wedded to indomitable pluck and Yorkshire tenacity.

The publishers of the Star-Mirror, you will note, showed their faith in the public spirit of Moscow citizens when they launched the new daily, for no bonus was asked. So far we have made no effort to force the paper, desiring to give the people an opportunity first to see our good faith and the character of the daily. We wanted the people to see that they were to have a real telegraphic service and a good local service. Having done this, we are now going to ask the people to show their ap proval of a daily paper for Moscow. Wc are going to send out solicitors and ask the people to help us put the daily on a business basis by establishing a creditable circulation. We believe the people of Moscow want the new daily to become an assured fact, and that the efforts to make it a decent and creditable paper, as good as any town the size of Moscow supports, will be received with every assurance of good will and reasonable financial support.

PARIS, Nov. 24.—"It is forbidden to dance the quadrille figure called the 'Pastourelle' on the occasion of balls given in the hall of the Chateau Henri IV.," is the decree issued by the mayor of Nerac, the town so dear to the Reine Margot, and which M. Fall ieres lately visited. Why this ukase? A correspondent had the curiosity to interview the mayor on this subject, and that gen tleman has given him a full explana tion. He said: "My tastes never led me in the di rection of the dance. I never have been to a ball. I do not know how to j dance, and I never have seen the 'Pas tourelle' danced. But all the same a deemed it my duty to intervene in the interests of public order. "The cavaliers make their partners turn so rapidly and nigh their feet ac tually hit their neighbors' heads. That figure is not proper. Indeed, I know enough about it from a police report, stating that it led to dangerous rivalry between the young men of the town and tho.se of the country, and this is why I issued the decree." SIX SHIPWRECKED TARS LIVE ON ONE TURNIP NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Six ship wrecked mariners, who lived thirty six hours on one turnip and had to go to Liverpool in order to get from Savannaji, Ga., to Boston, arrived to day on the Celtic. Captain Ira A. Small and mate. Rob ert Lindsay, with four seamen, started from Savannah on Oct. 23 in the three masted schooner Stephen D. Loud, laden with lumber. The day after the start of the voy age the schooner ran into a stiff north west gale. At midnight the schooner began to fill. When morning came the cabin had been swept away. The men perched on deck, with distress signals flying, had no water and no food. Someone saw a turnip floating in the water and they cut it in six jfieces and each of the shipwrecked men made a meal of one-sixth of a turnip. On Oct. 26, the lineii Victorian saw the distress signals and took the men off. ,P ft The Loyal Order of Moose s> INVITES YOU TO MEMBERSHIP It is 23 years old.

HAPPY WITH MOORISH HUSBAND PARIS, Nov. 24.—The unfortunate termination of the union of Othello and Desdemona did not put a complete stop to marriages between Moors and Europeans. An English lady with a well-known name married a few ye s ago to the grand shereef of Wazen, the head of the Taletrych sect and lives happily in Morocco. And now enormous interest has been evoked by the marriage at St. Eteinne of another of these shereefs of Wazen, rejoicing in the name of Mulai Brahim ben Mulal Thayet, to a French lady. The Moor, who seems to have been encour aged by the happy venture of his rela tive, Is only 21 years of age, while his bride Is 16. One of the most pow erful of the religious chiefs of the country, he considers himself a direct descendant of Mahomet. It was while roller skating that the Moor met and became fascinated witn his future wife. He visited St. Etienne to see the arms factory and in the in tervals of business he frequented the roller skating rink, where his atten tion was riveted on the grace and charms of Mile. Rose Beaque. Five thousand people surrounded the entrance to the Hotel de Ville, where the ceremony was performd. Liszt Romance May Be Revealed. VIENNA, Nov. 24.—At the conclu sion of the Liszt centenary festival, which was held in Buda-Pesth, the president of the committee. Count Geza Zichy, handed a sealed package to the Hungarian Acadamy of Music, with the request that it should only be opened after the expiration of ten years. Count Zichy stated that the packet proofs a ed to Liszt in which Hungarian music is belittled as entirely a product of the gypsies, was really written by Liszt's friend. Princess Wittgenstein. As it excited much resentment in Hun gary at the time the composer's gal lantry led him to take the odium of it upon himself. It would however, be indiscreet to publish the documents now, but after ten years it may be expected that no one will be living who could be pained by them. Count Zichy stated further that the documents in the packet when pub lished would absolve Liszt from the charge of anti-Semitism sometimes brought against him.

FRANK KELLY, l«i jeweler MORGAN WRITES ON PROPOSED TAX LAW Hon. Wm. M. Morgan, Latah coun ty's representative in the lower house of the state legislature, has written Judge Maclane, at Boise, offering some suggestions as to the proposed revenue law, the principle of which is to urge that suggestions from tax collectors, and county officials be received and considered by the committee, in order to enable it to present a bill which may be passed by the legislature with out amendment. The letter is as fol lows "Moscow, Idaho, Nov. 23, 1911. Hon. John F. Maclane, District Judge, Boise, I Idaho. My Dear Judge: I am in formed by the newspapers that your self and former Attorney General Frank Martin have been requested by the governor to prepare proposed amendments to our revenue laws and that the governor is considering the advisability of assembling the legis lature in special session with a view to correcting the many faults in our revenue system. "If the legislature is to be assembled in special session for this purpose it certainly is wise to have a bill pre pared beforehand by thoroughly com petent men and I am very glad in deed the governor has requested yourself and Mr. Martin to undertake the work. The legislature can be de ries, and E. J. Carey of Moscow, Alan MacDougal of Boise, Carl Loux Poca tello.

Carey. pended upon to do its very best to properly amend the law, but without assistance in the matter there would be almost as many different ideas to how the system ought to be reeled as there a. i different members of the legislature and the result is likely to be a long drawn out cial session and a law with many im perfections. as "Since so much depends upon the work expected of yourself and Mr. Martin I believe it would be wise for county commissioners thorughout the cor sp you to call upon the county assessors, county attorneys, county auditors and state, as well as the state officials and judges, to suggest such needed amend ments as have presented thmgelves to their minds, for men who have had our revenue system to deal with di rectly are in better position than any one else to suggest corrections of it. "If is true the" members of the leg islator might, in the event of their being assembled in special session, procure the views of their county of ficials upon this subject, but that plan would result in each county delega tion going to the legislature with its own ideas of amendments and is not likely to be prolific of desirable re sults. I shall hope for a bill prepared by yourself and Mr. Martin can properly be enacted by the legis which la (me without a single amendment. If the bill is properly drawn the legis lature ought not to be in session more than a week and Idaho will have the best revenue laws in the United States, isiature might, in the event of their that the road poll tax law, passed at the last session, is meeting with pretty general disapproval in this part of the state and if we do not go back to the old system we should at least ex empt women and old men from the payment of road poll tax. "Our system of sale of real property for delinquent taxes is very vicious in that property owners have been here tofore frequently deprived of the title to their property by sale for de linquent taxes without any knowledge that their taxes were delinquent. I have in mind a number of cases aris ing in this county where men have been permitted to pay their taxes from year to year while the right to a tax deed was actually maturing in the hands of the purchaser of the prop erty at delinquent tax sale. It would seem that the law should be so amended as to not permit the pay ment of taxes due for any year so long as an assessment for a former year remains unsatisfied. With such a law if the taxes, for the year 1909, for example, have gone delinquent by oversight of the owner, when he of fers to pay his taxes for the year 1910 or 1911, his attention would be directed to his delinquency for 1909 and he would not be permitted to sat isfy his subsequent assessment until his taxes for the former year had been paid. The means of enforcing

the payment of taxes should not be weakened but our revenue system should certainly be so corrected that no property owner will loose his title by reason of delinquent taxes without his knowledge, "I shall write Mr. Martin a letter con taining the same suggestions as the foregoing and I desire to assure you both that I shall hold myself in read iness to be of assistance to you when ever possible. "Yours very truly, "WM. M. MORGAN." BEATTIE PAYS PENALTY OF "LIFE FOR A LIFE W (Continued from Page 1) On the Friday' following, Coroner Loving began the inquest into the death of Mrs. Beattie. On the stand, Beattie, under instructions from his intimacy with Beulah Binford. But during the morning Paul Beattie, Hen ry's cousin had confessed to the Rich mond police that on the Saturday prior to the killing he had bought a single barrel shotgun for his cousin and had turned it over to him, with three cart Paul later identified the ridges. Paul later identified the gun found on the Midlothian turnpike as the gun he gave his cousin. The inquest adjourned at noon with Beattie still on the stand and while he was eating lunch at his home, officers accompanied by Paul Beattie entered the house and arrested him. At the afternoon session of the inquest Beu lah Binford took the stand and told of her relations with Beattie. She told of the renewal of these relations shortly after Beattie's son, Henry Clay Beattie III. was born, and her return to Richmond from Norfolk where she met Beattie. The coroner's jury after a brief con sideration held Beattie for the action of the grand jury. On August 14, the grand jury* re turned an indictment against Beattie for murder in the first degree, and he trial. Then ensued one of the strangest, bit terest legal battles that Virginia has ever known. Out in the little Chesterfield County court house, fourteen miles from Richmond, five miles from a railroad, a courteous, kindly southern gentle man, Judge Watson, took charge of the trial. District Attorney Gregory assisted by Louis O, Wendenburg, one of Richmond's leading criminal law yers, conducted the prosecution and Harry M. Smith and Hill Carter made the fight for Beattie's life. The physical facts surrounding the crime, and contradictory nature of the stories told by Henry Beattie, his un faithfulness to his wife, and the story of his cousin Paul were the founda tion upon which the state rested its case. The father, sister and friends of Beattie took the stand in a vain effort to establish for him a reputation that would convince the twelve Chester field county farmers who made up the jury, that he was incapable of the crime charged against him. Throughout the trial Paul Beattie, the star witness for the prosecution, and little seventeen-year-old Beulah Binford, sweetheart of the prisoner, were kept locked in Henry county jail. Paul was on the stand for two days but the seventeen-year-old girl was never taken to Chesterfield court house to tell her story. She had been summoned as a witness by the prose cution but the shrewd lawyers be lieved that her attachment for Henry Beattie would make her an undesirable witness, and she was never placed on the stand. daughter's relations with Henry Beat In her stead, her mother, a big, mid dle-aged woman, told the story of her MEN'S I OVERCOAT SPECIAL W E HAVE SOLD OUT our stock of Black Un finished Worsteds Convert ible Collar Coats twice this fall and now have just re ceived the third shipment of

After three weeks of taking tes timony, and argument, the twelve Chesterfield county farmers retired one evening to the jury room, knelt down and prayed for Divine guidance, dis cussed the evidence, knelt and prayed again, and then filed into the court room with a verdict of guilty. Judge Watson immediately pronounced the death sentence, fixing November 24, today, as the date of the execution. An appeal to the higher courts failed and Beattie fixed his hope on an ap plication for pardon, reprieve or com mutation of sentence to Governor Mann. After a short consideration, however, Governor Mann, in a scathing statement declined to grant the pardon and expressed the opinion that Beat tie was attempting to escape the pen alty of a crime of wnich he kne^st he was guilty.
