Henry Clay Bent tie, Jr., wa.s today indicted by the jjraml jury here foi Ihe imirder of Iiih wile on the lonely .Miillolhiau pike", near Kieliinond July 18. The trial was set for Au KiHt 21. Heat tie was indicted by the jury of 1(1 Virginia fanner- alter a delib eration of only n few minutes, after they hud heard the evidence of lieu lah Itinford, the 17-ycar-old girl for whose sake tho young society man is alleged to have Mum his wife. I'levious to her telling of the story of her connection with Heat tie, the prisoner's cousin, Paul Heattie, told the jury of how lie had purchased, at the piisoncr's request, the shot gun with which Mrs. Heattie was killed on the Midlothian pike. Formal Commitment. Immediately after the finding of the indictment, .1je Watson issued a formal commitment, placing Heat tie in the custody of sheriff Gill, and then ordered a recess of court until the afternoon, when a date for the trial will be t-et. After Heattie's indictment, Beulah Uinford was asked by newpnper men to po.se for her picture. She demand ed .f 10. She did not get it. Then she offered to sell her diary, giving n full account of her illicit relation with Heattie and other men. There was no purchasers for that. Judge Watson's charge to the jury was dramatic, llo said: ''To say that our peace has been shocked, the laws broken and a great crime committed is but to declare what everyone knows. Would that this assembly might disperse and the young bride and mother return; the prisoner leave his cell and his grief stricken father bo comforted, but that is vain. The codes and the con stitution provide satisfaction foi civic wrong, but they cannot call back the fleeting breath or make the earth and sea give up their dead." Heattie IVarwl Violence. Judge John Watson, who presided at the trial, anived in a rickety bug gy. Heulah Uinford and Paul' Heat tie arrived at the Chesterfield eouit house from Centralia in an autonio bile.

She laughingly surveyed tho court house ynrd, which resem bled a county lair, thrifty farmers having established concessions, sell ing lemonade, .s.uels and lunch to all comers.

The clash was tho worst battle be tween police and rioters in the his tory of the country.
