Chesterfield, Va, Sept. 4.-The de-.
Tense in the Beattie trial today laid
stress on two important points prior

or the prisoner himself later today,
In one 1t attacked the theory of the
prosecution that Beulah Binford was
the motive OF the accused for murder
Ing his wife. and in the other assailed
the testimony of witnesses for the
commonwealth who thought they saw
Beattie and his wife on the Midlothian
turnpike on the night of the murder.

friend and chum OF the accused, told
or Beattie's relations with Beulah Bin

accidentally renewed Just before Mrs.
Beattie was murdered, there was no
serious affection on the part he
prisoner. but merely an episode y. old
time dissipation.
The testimony Of Charles III. Kestle-
berg was new and reluctantly given
because the witness admitted 1t might
embarrass him with his wife. He
testified. however. that he was the man
who was motoring with a woman on
me Midlothian turnpike on the night
oI the murder. and whose machine
several boys saw with woman on the
running board while coming from a
dance at Bonaire.
The testimony of Kestleberg, 1. ac-

offered by the prosecution in many
important respects by the common

Chesterfield. Va, Sept. 5.-Henry
Clay Beattie, jr.. on the witness stand
today categorically denied that he took
part In or knew anything of the pur-
chase Of the shotgun by his cousin
Paul Beattie, with which his wife was
killed He likewise fatty contradicted
almost the entire testimony of his
cousin, particularly with regard to the
alleged confession in which Henry Ia
supposed to have said to Paul: II wish
I hadn't done It,"
Tightly clenching a handkerchief with
which he nervously rubbed his face,
the prisoner rested his head on one
hand and half reclining in the arm
chair. faced the jury. His answers
were quick and decisive and he showed
an apt memory in relating the details
OF the manner in which the alleged
nighwayman approached his machine.

1t was the same identicar even In its
phraseology with that he told to the
coroner's jury, although he admitted
today more Of his relations with Beulah
Binford, following the course of the de-
tense throughout the trial In pointing
her out as a disreputable girl, for
whom the prisoner had only a passing
fancy. and for whom he never would
have murdered his wife.
For nearly two hours and half
Beattie was in the witness chair and
when court recessed for luncheon, the
direct examination Of the prisoner,
closing the case for the defense. was
concluded except for the demonstration
requested by counsel for the prisoner,
that the jury be shown by the ac-
cused on the lawn outside the court
room the exact manner in which he
says the murder occurred while he was
seated In the car.
The prosecution has prepared
lengthy DISCRIMINATION of the pris-
oner.
Accused Takes the Stand.
Confident and hopeful Beattie took
the witness stand at 10:47 o'clock to-
day to testify in his own behalf and
close the case for the defense.
An eager, expectant crowd damned
the little court room to Overlooking,
and as soon as the prisoners name was
called there was noisy rustic behind
the bar and a straining of necks out
side the windows where platforms had
been erected to catch glimpse Of the
accused and hear his testimony. Beat
tie walked calmly to the witness chair
and faced the IL men who before the
week Is ended are to pass judgment on
his story.
Every dVdlldDle seat In the little
room early was occupied and a large
crowd had gathered on the lawn sur
rounding the little red building. II was
day OF sunlight, one OF the rare days
OF clear skies during the trial.
The crowd came in a constant stream
of automobiles. farm wagons and rigs
of every description bringing loads of
people from Richmond and vicinity in
vain hope Of hearing the prisoners
story. Harry M. Smith, jr., and Hill

rived at $3.50 and Immediately were
closeted with the prisoner in his cell.

MExICANS IN JANCLE
over VICE PRESIDENT
Progressive Convention Will
Not End It's Labors Be-
80. fore Sunday.

Mexico City, Sept. 4.--With only Is
sotes separating them, Jose Pine Sua-
req and DR.. Francisco Vasquez Gomez
today renewed their contest before the
progressive convention for the nominal
ton as vice president of Mexico.
Alfredo Robles Dominguez, who re-
ceived only 297 votes last night, and
who therefore under the rules is elimi-
mated from the race, will, It is said
urge his supporters to back SuareZ.
Fernando Iglesias Calderon doubtless
also will be eliminated today, his vote
of 321 being added to Dominguez' 297,
and split up between Vasquez Gomez
and Pine Suarez.
The unexpected showing made by
Vasquez Gomez has increased the fear
on the part Of the Pinoistas that he will
get more than half of this potential
vote. The Yucatan candidates sup
porters worked hard up to the opening
hour or the convention TO secure pledges
for their candidate. The hackers of
Calderon, while clinging to hope, were
reluctant to make promises, but 1t is
commonly believed that a fair majority
of the votes polled last night by Robes
Dominique will go to swell the plural
ity Of Pine Suarez. >,
The necessity for repeating the roll
call today precluded the possibility Of
vice president being nominated before
tonight, or possibly tomorrow.

Numerous visiting buyers continue to

activity in house trade. but notwith-
greater degree Of irregularity than is
usually visible at this stage of the sea-
son. The situation as q whole is char
acterfzed by marked degree OF con-
servation which finds expression in
small lots. but Significantly enough,
prompt shipments are desired. So far
as relative activity is concerned dry
hardware lead in some point of de-
mand. with the spring wheat north

Retail trade Is still very quiet In
the industrial lines there Is a good deal
OF idleness. this being especially no.
ticeable In the textile centers north and
south where curtailment is very gener-
al. Retrenchments are also being en-
Forced by railroads, thus making for
less employment, and the labor stu
alton as regards some Of the leading
western railroads has become more
critical.
Price cutting is quite marked in the
iron and steel trade. Collections are
slow. Business failures in the United

being pushed with vigor as indicated
by the very heavy bookings In struc-
tural steel shapes. This is by far the
most active of the finished depart

ent demand is maintained. the volume
OF business during the current year is
expected to surpass even the high rec

suggests that expenditures are still be-

Trade in footwear is of fair proper
