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. Harry Heattie, who stated that
ho feared violence, was allowed to
remain in his ceil at Richmond.
Heulalf attired in a summery
gown, apparently was happy and
eare-frce. She laughingly surveyed
tho court house ynrd, which resem

FORT WAYNE. Ind., Aug. 14.
Reports from tho hospital today In
dicate that tho death list as a result
of tho wreck of tho Pennsylvania's
fast flyor, which occurred hero last
evening, will not exceed four.
Tho Pennsylvania's famous lS-hour
train betweon Now York and Chicago,
known as tho Pennsylvania flyor,
jumped tho track at a switch at tho

running ut torrific speed In an en
deavor to ninko up lost tlmo, and tho
doublo-he'ador train dashed Into a
frolght on tho track north. Tblrty
flvo porsons woro Injurod.
Tho wrecked train consisted of nine
stool cars and two engines. Every
car oxcopt tho last ono loft tho track,
tho first two cars rolling down a 10
foot ombankment. Tho news spread

patrol wagon In tho city hastened to

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 14. After 21
hours continuous rioting, accom
panied by much bloodshed, the streets
of Liverpool were cleared of strikers
for the first time tonight. It is re
ported that the troops have been or
dered, if necessary, to shoot to kill.
Home Secretary Churchill' an
nounced tonight that more troops
were en route, and that any further
rioting would be put down with an
iron bund.
Rioting Is Renewed.
Strike rioting broke out ngain hero
today with renewed fur'. While tho
soldiers and police, wearied from
their past exertions, were endeavor
ing to Mnntch a few moments' rest,
the mob began looting barrooms anil
provision shops. Inflamed with
liquor, the rioters made desperate
resistance when the troops charged.
More than 100 had been placed under
arrest, before the gunrdians of tho
law finally succeeded in restoring
some semblance of order.
The clash was tho worst battle be
tween police and rioters in the his
tory of the country. One hundred and
seventy-five men, including 20 police
were treated at the hastily impro
vised hospital, to which numerous ve
hicles, pressed into service as ambu
lances, had removed the wounded.
One policeman was killed outright
and scores of rioters suffered frac
tured skulls. The mob repeatedly re
formed after the troops' charges had
temporarily dispersed them. Two
houses in Oirnrd street wero burned
and much other property was de
stroyed. General Lockout Regno.
A general lockout has begun at tho
docks here, and the federation ship
owners are not permitting anyone to
work while some of the employes still
refuse to agree to a settlement. This
strike affects 30,000 men.
tl is fenred that unless the ship
owners recede from their position it
will be impossible to load or unload
any cargo.
Owing to the present conditions tho
steamer Lusitania will not bo nblo
to make her regular start for New
York tomorrow.
As a result of tho strike it is
feared that many factories will bo
closed, which would still further in
crease tho gigantic army of idle men.
Suffering is already acute.
