? tho one sensation of the day. Ho, too. hod a highwayman to describe. .Shortly
B before 6 o'clock or the evening of the tragedy, Holland, working away at his
? quarry, observed a m.vsterlous individual plodding along the Southern road,
I heading toward the Belt Line. The man wore a slouch hat. was about five feet
a eleven inches tall, weighed from 160 to 175 pounds, and seemed about thlrty
B eight years old. He had a growth of heard on his face?a sandy beard.
Stt "Did he have anything with him'.'" asked the prisoner's counsel, very quietly
??indeed.
?A "Yea. He had n Mnstlc-hnrrrlrd nbnlgun on hl? Nboiildcr."
HjL The courtroom was very still. A newspaper man gave a low. shocked
?Mrhlmle and dashed off a bulletin. All three Beatttes within the bar sat por
EBSSS calm, without a change of face. The defense was show'ng that It. too.

[?:-?'.'''??' . It fell rather flat. L'ti'iuestlonably, the sudden Introduction of
"::'Vr,pftperaonallty of the highwayman, supposed by most people to be a creature
v! ?iM?rcumstanco and the Imagination, was both startling and impressive. The
EflHl. however, had been sated with thrill Th< musual had become the com
Hftlaco and had worn out its own effect. Perhaps at another time the little
?Bwould have witnessed another scene similar to that of Monday, when Paul
8ft. sat in the chair and talked to the Jury, carefully avoiding the glaring
'.-' .v. OH his cousin. But now there was no scene, though without a doubt Inter
H B high for a moment.

IH/~;v*MHi present crime, but tending to reveal the existence In the county of a
BftjjE&ffBss'r'-Jud 1 ce against automobiles By t*ls means the defense endeavors to

IB1 s assailant described by Henry Beattie seemed to have no cause for

this Is not the hunting season, and
that rhcre Is no reason why a strong?

WALTER D.
MOSES & CO.
103 E. Broad St.,
RICHMOND, VA.
Oldest Music House in Vir?
ginia and North Carolina.
Patient, plodding horses struggled with
heavy loads to the trolley lint- at Cen
tralia. Henry Beattle returned to his
new room at the Chesterfield jail much
relieve,] ?f,at the State had done its
worst, and that the lime had corne
for his attorney.) to do for him what?
ever lay in their power.
\lts star witness will come out of It
with skirts clear.
About an hour later 1'aul was called
again. Right behind him walked W. F.
Raker. The two looked at each other.
"Did you not say in Mr. Raker's
presence immediately after the coro?
ner's Inquest." asked Mr. Smith of
I'aul, "that you were going to . telt
everything you knew and that you
were glad to get even with Uncle Hen?
ry because he had taken your mother,
or some other female member of your
family. Into a room and made her slgo
away everything she had?"
"I did not."
' Baker was asked and answered:
, "He did."
An imposse was reached again it
seems. But Wendenburg went right
after Baker with a hammer and tongs
delivery, and the witness did not fare
well, though he clung to his story.
Baker hud said that Paul referred to
his "mother or mother-in-law" as the
one whose property had slipped into
Uncle Henry's hands. Then he changed
It to "mother and grandmother." and
was absolutely certuln he had never
even said "mother-ln-law."
"Are you sure you didn't say moth?
er-ln-law?" asked Mr. Wendenburg.
"Yes, I aip."
"Quite sure?"
"Yes"
"Is that the best memory you've
got 7"
"Yes. It's the best memory I've got"
"Read the record." snapped the law- j
jer quickly.
The stenography- read and Baker;
Blood convicted
"And now you come here and try to
repeat a conversation three weeks' old,
and yet you can't remember three
minutes what you said yourself," re?
marked Mr- Wondenburg sarcastically.
But pride goeth before the fall. Not
long after this the State's attorney
had occasion to question the accu?
racy of a quotation of a witness by
counsel of the opposite side- It refer?
red to the size of the much-discussed
second "blood" spot in the road.
"He said eighteen Inches across and
not. eighteen Inches in diameter," said
Mr. Wendenburg.
"He said eighteen Inches In diameter
and not eighteen inches across," said
Mr. Smith.
"I appeal to the record," said Mr.
Wendenburg.
"Eighteen inches In diameter," read
the stenographer.
"Now go out and apologize to Mr.
Billy Baker." laughed Mr. Smith.
The crowd tlttored. and the cotirt]
rapped sharply. The Judge reminded]
counsel that If lawyers within the bar
indulged In loud laughter he could
never hope to preserve order among
the mero spectators.
Other Events of the Dny.
Rain and storm came overnight.
Tho county roads filled up with mud,
and many an automobile rolled into a
miry hole and stopped abruptly, drop?
ping its protesting passengers in tho
middle of tho woods. Things move,
awlflly and surprisingly In Chester
Held. But a fow hours boforo stifling
heat hung over the courthouso and
dissatisfied beings gnsptd In the suf?
focating air; yesterday all was
changed. Tho sun had disappeared,
and tho air was damp and raw and
almost chill. If the courthouse
hod,, been biasing nobody wo
to spar? at tho opening;. It waa no
small uiattor to get by the sandbars,
und the spectators were lute. Work
horses, with bony humps kicking
mightily, tolled along anu go"- there
at last. 11 y noon the place was tilled
rignt up. Few stood on the outside,
however.
Tho Commonwealth set out at ones
to Its task of squelching tho sixteen
year-old boy who held up the whole
court on Tuesday und caused some?
thing ul u senuutlon by relutlng the
discovery ot a second blood spot Id
the .Mldllhiun Pike. Several Richmond
motor curs wore stalled, and theiM
was some trouble gutting the wit?
nesses to the courthouue. Alter a
lime the swing began, however, and
then Alex was mashed'. The little boy
Certainly believed all he said, but hav?
ing bioody visions and a Sherlock
Holmea turn of mind, he saw more
than was really there. The prosecu?
tion clearly and conclusively showed
by a dozen witnesses, including an
uncle of the dead girl, the prV Ideat
ot the State Penitentiary Board, tho
chief detective in charge of the ens*,
tho county coroner and several auto
; mobile owners, that no euch second
spot could have been In the road. No?
body had seen any blood except at
; the scene of the murder. They went
specially to find it, but completely
fulled to do so. If It had been there
it would surely not have escaped them,
I all said. One man declared he had
pased two or three small puddles of
water In -fhe road. He was abso?
lutely certain that they were not
blood Apparently lie believed these
were what lit Jc A!?.\ had seen.
The point was of. great Importance.
The Commonwealth is contending that
Id'..,.] could nut in any way have gol
t ten out of the automobile, and that
therefore when Mrs. Beattie was killed ,
hhe was In the road and not in the
car as her husband has stated. By
means of the second spot near the
place where Henry Beattie declared he i
stopped to tlx his lights when he was J
racing home with the body of his dead
wife the defense noped to prove that |
blood did in fact drip through the j
machine. To do this It had two little
boys. But theState took no chances
with eo vital an Issue at stake, and
this Is why It brought up a new cloud
of witnesses. The dispute seems set?
tled. Not only this, but careful In?
spection failed to show that a single
drop of blood had come from tho car
after it got back to the Owen home
with the body of the girl. Thomas
Owen, an uncle of Mrs. Beattie, seemed
quite positive as to this. Having seen
one or two blood spoHon the front
porch, he wiped these out and then
went to tho lawn for the special pur?
pose of Unding- others and removing
them. He found none.
Stete llentn Its Caae.
On the day before Henry Beanie's
best man woa on the siand. a reluctant
witness for either sl?e;now come the
dead girl's maid of honor. Miss Louise
Reams. Her testimony was brief. She
inspected the hatrpln found In the road
near the scene of the murder and de
clared it was of a kind worn by Louise
Owen Beattie up to the time of her
death.
The Importance of this lay entirely
Inatsoclatlon with other things. The
fact that a hairpin similar to a million
others In the world was an isolated
fact not very Impressive. But. taken
In connection with certain other mat?
ters, and particularly the grit In the
murdered girl's hair, it waa held by
the State to bo important. In that It
tended to establish the prosecution's
contention that Mrs. Beattie was in
the road when killed. loiter In the
day the court definitely excluded this
evidence, and the nairpln now ceaRes
W figure In the case. At the same time
the court directed that nothing con?
cerning the behavior of the blood?
hounds at th scene of the murder be
allowed to get bet?re the Jury.
"The Commonwealth rests Its case."
The long-awaited words came from
the State's end of the bar fifteen min?
utes after noon. Motion* touching the j
admisaiblltty of certain evidence were'
argued, Judge and counsel retiring.
Tho defense then began. Paul Beattie
taking the stand first, as previously
described.
Impeachment of Talley.
Impeachment of J. C. Talley, the
man who says he heard Mrs. Beattie
scream before she was killed, but did
not hear her husband cry for help or
blow his horn, as he described, con?
sumed much time. Talley, a tightlns
man, by his own frank admission often
in court "for defending myself and
"as likely u.- not often to be there'
again for the same reason," Is evi?
dently something of a neighborhood
terror. He is a small man. but his !
very name seems to make some of the
pike dwellers quake. He has his
friends and foes. Yesterday was the?
day of the latter; the Commonwealth]
announces that the former will have
an Inning later. Effort was made by
the defense to provo that Talley had a
general reputation for untruthfulnesi.
Three or four witnesses testified to
this effect, one of them glancing nerv?
ously over his shoulder to sec if Talley
was anywhere around. Another clear?
ly had an animus.
"Didn't you have a difficulty wltn
Talley once?" asked Mr. Wcndenburg
of this man.
"Well, you might say he tried to
kill me."
"Wasn't It because you insulted his
wife?"
"No."
The lawyer was Insistent, but tho
court ruled out further questions on
this point.
Still a third, one William Pembcrton,
proved himself a genuine circus at?
traction. He. too. had exprossed his
opinion ot Talley.
"Are you all right mentally your?
self." asked Mr. Wendenburg.
"What are you talking about, man?"
cr'ed Pemberton. much hurt.
"Isn't It a fact that you kept your
cats chained, and that people went out
there and took pictures of you?"
"I don't know anything about that.
I sometimes had strings on them."
"Don't' you thrash your wheat by
putting It on the tloor and stamping
on It?"
"Lord, man, you're crazy yourself.
You're talking out vf your head, r
didn't come here to talk about such
stuff as that."
The crowd was roaring. Henry
Beattie laid his head down on the bar
and fairly wept.
William finally burst forth with all
the story of his life.
"Let me tell my tale." he shout?
ed.
The Judge rapped time and again for
order, but the witness heeded not. It
was impossible to keep him quiet.
"Mr. Sheriff, stop the witness from
talking," directed the court at last.
flW great difficulty William waa
reduced to silence. Presently he loft
the stand, apparently well pleased
with himself.
In spite of all this, however, the de?
fense proved by other and more im?
pressive witnesses that Talley had In
fact admitted that he heard Beuttie
cry for help nnd blow tho automobile
