Statemest of Gov. Mann »a Dispo»-
inf ol
“While I sympathi^ v4ry pro
foundly with the father of H. C.
Beattie, Jr., and would be #|ad
to helpthim if I could do so w|th
prop^gr regard for the public in
terest, I cannot with any, consid
eration for those interests inter
fere with the due execution pf the
sentence of the court in the Beat
tie case. I followed that case
during the trial, and as its hor
rible i’acts were developed, re
gretted that a crime so cruel and
malicious should haye occtii;ed
.within the confines' of this State.
In the decision of every question
which was presented to the able
and impartial judge, who pre
sided at the trial, he was careful
to giye the benefit of every rea
sonable doubt to the prisoner; his
instructions were as favorable
as the counsel for the prisoner
could expect; that he did not err
in the admission or exclusion of
evidence. or in his instructions
giv^n to the jury is shown in the
refusal of the supreme court of
appeals to grant a writ of erroi*.
“There is no question of the
honesty and fairness of the jur
ors trying the case, nor is there
any question that the defense
made by lawjers of character
and ability, obtained for H. C.
Beattie, Jr., every' advantage
guaranteed by law to persons
charged'with crime.
“That Beattie is guilty of the
wilful, deliberate and cruel mur
der of his young wife I have not
the slightest doubt, nor is it in
sisted that there' shall be any
greater relief offered than the
commutation of his sentence to
imprisonment for life. In the
administration of the duties of
my office I am not required to
consider the wisdom of legisla
ture enactments, but am requir
ed to see to it that the criminal
laws are executed unless there
shall be some facts or circum
stances arising since the action
of the court, or some important
evidence existing but not pre
sented to the court tending to
create in the minds of a reason-
aDle map a substantial doubt as
to the guilt of the prisoner,
“I do not think the affida
vits of Paul Beattie printed in
the papers, or any other evidence
or consideration brought to my
attention sufficient for that pur
pose. Nor do I question the
wisdom, i might add of the ne
cessity of capital punishment in
cases where human life has been
wickedly and deliberately taken.
On the contrary, I believe that
this punishment is necessary f®r
the protection of society, and if
on a jury would not hesitate in
a proper case to agree to a ver
dict requiring life for life.
“I have given this expression
of my views in order that the
people of Virginia may under
stand that I ■will not interfere
with the verdict of juries and
judgements of courts, punishing
criminals, unless it shall plainly
appear to me that great injustice
will be done by the execution of
the judgements.
‘ 1 have been asked to respite
the prisoner and to allow him
thirty days at least from the de
cision of the supreme court. His
appeal to the court was his own
act, taken to avoid the judg
ment of the court of his own
county, based on the verdict of
his fellow citizens, constituting
the jury; and, I must think, with
the purpose, if possible, of avoid
ing the consequences of a crime
of whieh he knows he is guilty.
“Although counsel for the con
victed man have exercised all dil-
igigence, to grant a respite in so
plain a case would be to set a
precedent, which I would be call
ed upon to follow, ‘would be to
temporize wi^'h the law and to
encourage i^ppeals to the supreme
court with the sole purpose of
gaining time. .
“I believe the best way to
prevent such crimes as this is to
punish them adequately, certain
ly, speedily. Therefore the judg-
tnent of the circuit court of
Chesterfield will be carried into
effect without interference from
me.
(Signed), WilliamjHodges iviann,
Governor.”
SCOniAND COUNTY
SHERIFF STABBED
Wilmington, Nov. 19.—As he
was in the act of committing to
jail a negro under suspicion for
the murder of another negro at
l^aurinburg, N. C., Sheriff Smith,
of Seottland county, was stabbed
in the back and probably fatally
wounded by two negroes who at
tacked him with knives. Both
negroes and the prisoner made,
their escape. ^ j ^;
The Rev, Benjamin Graham,
recently paator of St. James
Meth(^ist Church of Atlanta,
Ga., has filed suit fot absolute
divorce from his wife because she
is a child hater.
‘ ‘My wife is a child hater he
said, and although I have not^-
lieved in divorce, I now find that
it is the only thing possible for
the sake of my children.”
Mr. Graham states that they
have been married 29 months
and in that time he has-been
compelled to spend one-fourth of
his entire time attempting to
calm his wife in her jealous rag
es and restoring peace in his
household. His two phildren—a
boy of 11 and a girl of 5—are by
a former marriage.
“Any attention that I might
show either of the children
brought on a jelous rage on the
part of*my wife," he states. “In
the ihorning if I kissed my little
girl, my wife would fly into a
tantrum. Sometimes it would
be days before she would si)eak
tome. Sherdeclared that when
I kissed my own child she felt
exactly as if I were kissing
another woman. I have known
her to fly into these tantrums
simply because I would pass a
dish to one of the children at a
meal. Sometimes she would
rush, screaming, into the yard
of the parsonage, drawing a large
crowd of idly curious about the
gate."
The minister states that for a
year he has been unable to take
his children out even for a car
ride on account of his wife and
that once she bought ah automo
bile, but soon sold it because he
asked her to let the children ride
occasionally on the back seat.
His work for the church has
been ruined, Mr, Graham asserts,
because his wife has been jealous
of the v7omen of his congrega
tion, He could hardly speak to
one of them, he said, without
spending the next twenty-four
hours pacifying his jealous wife,
and often when he went to meet
with male members of the con
gregation, she would think he
had seen some of their wives and
a rage would follow.
JMr, Graham’s resignation ac
cepted today, was presented to
the Georgia conference by Pres
iding Elder T. J. Daves. It was
accompanied by a letter from the
official board of St. James church
commending Mr, Graham's work
in Atlanta during the past year,
,;Mr. Graham stated tonight
that he would probably adopt the
stage as a career. He said:
“In moral plays w^hich exert a
tendency to uplift,^ I believe I
could follow an occupation that
is a parallel with that of preach
ing the Gospel. I will retain my
moral attitude but seeing no oth
er course the footlights promise
me a means of livelihood for my
self and my two children^ and I
probably will adopt it.
Mr. Grahanj is 40 years of age,
while Mrs. Graham, from whom
he seeks divorce, is 35*
