"Oh, if they had only permitted ma
to accompany them I wanted to apply
the match. I wanted to see him burn,
lie killed my husband. lie took the
life of the best man nud the kindest
father who ever lived. It Is terrible
for mo to say that I am glad Walker
Is dend, but I must speak as I feel. I
knew nothing of the lynching until I
heard the crowd pass my house. It
sounded like a great roar, and then
I knew that trouble was browing.
"I heard the noise as the crowd took
him from the hospital. I was willing
to set him on fire. I would have done
anything to have got near him, but
they would not let mo. After It was
nil over they told me about It, and
then I was satisfied that the death of
my husband had been avenged."
Ten uniformed members of the state
constabulary, mounted and armed, and
sixteen of the town's fire police, sum
moned for emergency service, patrol
the streets of Coatesville. Behind
closed doors District Attorney Gnw
throp and Sheriff Golder are holding
continuous conferences with the local
officers and hastening to ferret out the
leaders of the mob. Twenty-five men
among them those suspected as leaders
of the masked crowd, have" been sum
moned before these officials.
Fears of further outbreak and a
gathering of the mob that conducted
the lynching will guard the officials
In any attempt they may mako to
bring the leaders to justice. It was
ti. 4 fear that summoned the members
of the state constabulary and led Ilur-
gess Shallcross to order out the fire
police.

ATW00D COVERS FIRST LAP.
Aviator Lands In Chicago on St. Louiu
to New York Flight.
Chicago, Aug. 15. In n convincing
demonstration of the dependability of
the modern aeroplane, and tho Amer
ican aeroplane at that, Henry Nelson
Atwood drove his Iiurgiss biplane from
St. Louis to Chicago todny nnd landed
In front of tho judges' stand at Grant
park, where the international aviation
meet was in progress. This concluded
the first stage of his St. Louis-Chicago-
New York Hlght by which he hopes to
mako a new world's record.
Atwood's flight was almost devoid
of incident. Tho machine is not n fast
one. It is a touring plane which runs
at from forty-fivo to fifty miles an
hour, but faster when the wind helps.
In spite of this, his running time be
tween points were always faster than
tho swiftest express trains, while nis
time from downtown St Louis, includ
ing his two long stops on tho way, was
only one and one-half hours slower
than the fastest train.
Atwood received $500 for alighting
at Grant park aviation course. This
sum is the samo'that Is allowed to all
aviators who take part in the meet for
expenses The meet association would
offer no other inducement to Atwood
to land there. In vnrlous prizes along
tho route, for passing over cities and
for stops, Atwood will earn about
$2:,000 If he arrives at Coney Island
by Aug. 20, $10,000 of the amount
being provided there.

New York, Aug. 15. Attorney James
A. Cleary, who will defend seventeen-year-old
Paul Geidel, tho ballboy, who
will go on trial next Monday for the
murder of aged William H. Jackson
In tho Hotel Iroquois, says that ho Is
convinced tho boy is perfectly sane
and that no attempt will bo made at
an insanity defense.
Mr. Cleary said that Dr. M. A. Tal-
mey, an alienist, had examined tho
prisoner. hllo the physician has
not yet made a formal report, Mr.
Cloary said, ho had heard enough to
convince him that tho lad is sane.
He said tho defense would be predi
cated In tho idea that tho boy visited
the room at the lattcr's invitation and
had let himself in with a passkey.
CANAL ZONE SANITARY.
Secretary Stimson Returns Praising
Work In Panama.
New York, Aug. 15. Henry L. Stlm
son, secretary of war, who returned
Sunday from a trip to tho Panama
canal zone, Cuba, Porto Itlco and Ja
malca, sold that ho was more than
pleased with things as ho found them
In the canal zone. This latter district
the secretary Inspected tlwroughly,
even to tho extent of footing it through
the nlno miles of tho Culobrn cut, a
feat which no other visiting govern-
ment official has attempted. Alto
gether Mr. Stimson spent ten days in
specting tho work on tho cnnal.
"I was particularly surprised at tho
cltnnness of things in the cnnnl zone,'
sam,the secretary. "Not a city in our
country can surpass the zona in sani
tary conditions."
Tho thing that most interested him
in Cuba was tho work on tho battle
ship Maine. Mr. Stimson crawled all
over tho old wrock. "When you seo
that great ship lying dry in tho midst
of the tossing waves," ho said, "it
makes you think of the Israelites
crossing tho Rod sea dry shod. To
put that old wrock into tho oosition
Bbo now occupies was a wonderful
pleco of work. Tho sea bad to be
brushed aside and kept nslde. The
work is a modern miracle."
Chesterfield Courthouse, Va., Aug.
15. Tho grand jury of the Chesterfield
circuit court reported a true lJH
against Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., charg
ing him with- the murder of his wife,
Mrs. Louise Wellforcl Owen Beattie,
on Midlothian turnpike on the night
of July 18. The examination of Thomas
E. Owen, Coroner Loving T. Pettlgrew
and Detective L. L. Scheror was suf
ficient to show that a murder had been
committed nnd that the coroner's Jury
had charged the crime to Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr.
Following the return of tho true bill
against Beattie' the attorneys for tho
state and for tho defense gathered nl
tho desk of Judge Watson nnd dis
cussed a date for deciding tho fate
of the indicted man. Mr. Gregory, for
tho state, asked the court' to set Thurs
day or Friday. The court named Mon
day, Aug. 21, as tho day for trial.
Attorney Hill Carter, for tho defense.
noted an exception to the dnte for
trial. This was supported by Harry
M. Smith, while attorney L. O. Wcn
denburg urged immediate trial. Judge
Watson entered a notation of the ox
ception to tho dato nnd announced that
the ymo would be extended on Mon
day next providing the defense showed
conditions which warranted, otherwise
tho case would proceed. Tho court
handed down a ruling, however, which
benefited the nttorneys representing
Beattie.
Heretofore under an order from tho
court no one, not even tho attorneys
was allowed to seo Beattlo in his cell
except when an attendant nt tho Jail
was present to hear tho conversation.
Judge Wntson said that either of tho
two attorneys representing the defense
could see him at any time and without
the presence of the Jailer or any of bid
assistants.
Beulah Binford and Pnul Beattie, tho
main witnesses for tho commonwealth
did not appear beforo tho grand jury
as was expected. Paul Beattie was
permitted to walk in the open nnd en
gage in conversation with friends, but
not permitted to talk of the crime. He
appeared at ease and was in a Jubilant
mood.
The Binford girl, who remained In
the close courtroom, was overcome by
heat and fainted. The county physl
clan soon revived her, and afterward
she declined to pose for photographers
unless they made up a purse of $25.
The pursj was not forthcoming.
When tho news of tho indictment
was told Henry Beattie by his brother
Douglas he appeared stunned for a
second, then, reaching for a cigarette,
lighted It nnd said: "I'm not going to
talk nbout this now, but I will say this
much, I am not surprised."
Then picking up n newspaper that
his brother had dropied be folded and
laid it on his couch and then picked
up tho guitar which had dropped from
his lap when ho raised after hearing
the news of the indictment nnd began
picking at the strings.
The senior Beattie did not nttend tho
grand Jury session of the court nt
Chesterfield.
