lowing the return of the verdict,
Beattie appeared cool and collected,
and in minutes of idleness attempted
to console his broken-hearted father,
and comfort him as he whispered,
"I have not lost yet, father."
The scenes attendant to the re
turn of the verdict were impressive.
After carefully weighing the mean

isMKtance against possible error, at
tne end of 58 minutes of deliberation,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Sept. 9. I
Dr. John Lyman, a prominent society j

was arrested here this morning on a ,
telegraphic warrant charging fraudu-,
lent methods in connection with the
sale of stock in the Panama Develop- ',
ment Company. i
It is said that Lyman has promoted
dozen "bubble" concerns. He dis
appeared from Los Angeles about ten
days ngo and not until yesterday was
he located by the police. It is al
leged that he secured about $50,000
for practically valueless stock in this
concern alone. It is said that the of
ficers of the company have practical
control of all the stock. Lyman will
be returned to Los Angeles tomor
row nud will probably be arraigned
on a charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses at an early date. He
would say nothing regarding his al
leged bogus operations when inter
viewed this morning.

NEWPORT, R. I.. Sept. 9. After
weeks of solicitation, during which

and today were quietly married by
Reverend Joseph Lambert, of the
Elmwood Congregational church
The wedding, occurred nt 9:45

Prosecutor's Seerh Itliut's.
A thick mass of faces rising in an
Incline to the shabby ceiling stared
Kstping crowd remained the ring of
the powerful speech of the prosecu
tor who denounced the man who "ex
chnnged t lie glow of virtue for pas
sion's feeble tapers."
The court asked the prisoner to
rise. He calmly stood up and wait
ed. "Have you gentlemen agreed on a
verdict?" asked Judge Watson,
"We have." said Foreman Bur
epps, and utmost at the same instant
'hat .ludge Watson asked:
"What Is your verdict?" all 12
men yelled "guilty".
Unvfrsed in Inw and the forms of
murder trial, the jurymen had not
specified what degree of murder.
Asked what degree. Mr. Burgess ans
wered simply: "Guilty us Indicted."
First Ih-gree Determined I'hhi.
Under Virginia practice, murder is
presumed to he second degree unless
otherwise specified. It was Incum
bent on the jury to fix the degree, !
so Judge Watson advised the Jury- !
men to confer again on the point, j
Seven minutes later they returned
with the verdict of "murder in the
first degree."
The prisoner stood erect and mo
tionless. His face, in color a yellowish-green
throughout the day, was
Immobile. The light of a lamp cast
a dreary shadow on his upturned
chin as he faced the jury. His eye
lids sngged, hut did not blink. In
steady gaze, he held his eyes on the
faces of the 12 men who had pro
nounced his punishment. When the
court asked If the prisoner had any
thing to say. he answered: "I have
nothing to say." He thn sat down.
The perfunctory motions for a new
trial were made by counsel for the
defense. The usual granting nf per
mission to argue the point was de
nied, as Judge Watson declared that
all trial rulings of the court had been
on comparatively unimportant details
and cnutd not have Influenced the
verdict.

how the young man had stained his j

A moment later, accompanied by

their heads bowed In grief, young
Beattie walked In thy darkness of his
cell.

The crowd lingered at the jail and
peered into the cell, illuminated by
a single lamp. On the bed, with
hia head in his hands, sat Beattie,
his father and brother beside him.
Jailer Cogwill sent the curious
away. Only a few prisoners saw
Beattie break down and weap in the
solitude of his cell. An hour later
the hamlet was deserted.
A few hundred yards frjni the jail,
in a hotel, 12 men gathered up their
belongings in silenco and one by one
they drove away into the darkness
to their si mine homes.
The jurors did not hesitate to ad
mit to their friends that they stood in
judgment not only over the cold
blooded murder, but on Beattie's
matrimonial infidelity as well.
They had left the court room to
find their verdict with the words of
L. O. Wendenburg, who voluntarily
