Richmond, Va., Nov. 21. With
scarcely a shadow of his spirit of
jauntiness in evidence, Henry Clay
Beattie, under sentence to be electro
cuted Friday for the murder of his
young wife, today threw off his bra
vado, when electricians began testing
the electric chair in which he will
die in three days, fell on his knees and
prayed.
Apparently having suddenly come to
a realization of the short period of
time left for him to live, Beattie is
trying to find comfort In religion
which he has until today steadfastly
refused to consider.
Reports that Beattie has confessed
to Reverend Dennis are unconfirmed
today. It is believed a detailed state

throughout western Washington.
The water famine is rapidly grow

day and remain closed until the sit
uation is relieved which will not be

Water Is being hauled by all avail
able vehicles, from Lake Washington,
and boiled, in order to meet the needs
for drinking water.
Business men are almost panic
stricken, as the town is absolutely
without fire protection and'this dan
ger is considered very great.
According to reports from points
east of here, the floods are subsiding,
de pite the fact that more rain fell
yesterday and last night.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and Pueet

in capital cases where the evidence
is entirely circumstantial, whllo tho
