Gus hunt is being made by the author
tiles and posses of farmers, all heavily
armed, for a big coloredi man who is
said to have abducted young white
girl and fed to the swamps along the
Schuyler Ferry road with her.
Deputy Sheriff Fleetwood and Will
liam Fleetwood, constable. have been
in charge of the search since it start
ed two or three days ago, but they
appealed to Sheriff Worrell for more
men. as the man seems abla to elude
a small posse:
The Fleetwoods have arrangements
perfected to rush the colored man to
jail as soon as he is captured, for the
farmers of the county are thoroughly
aroused and the law officers scarcely
less so.
1t was believed that the fugitive was
rounded up in the woods near Stevens
station, two miles from Burlington.
The officers conducting the search
have given instructions to take the
man dead or alive, and should any but
the men in charge Of the search come
up with him first. IL is doubtful If he
will live to reach the istl- The au-
thorities unhesitatingly say that the
affair is one OF the most shocking they

The man and child were hrst seen
about the first of the week, when a
farmers wife saw the man peering
from some bushes and pointed him
out to her husband. The farmer start
ed toward the man, when he fed,
dragging with him white girl of frail
appearance, believed to be fourteen or
fifteen years old.
Since then they have been seen sew
eral times, and the authorities believe
from the reports that the pair are
starving. The child apparently has
been so cowed and terror-stricken
that she fears to attempt to get away.

Bedttie and Cousin Held
For Death of Woman.
LATTER BOUGHT FATAL GUN
Husband Tells Story Of Murder liz
Automobile and Maintains
His Innocence, Accusing
Unknown.

Richmond, Va, July %. Henry
Clay Beattie. Jr., was placed under ar
rest In connection with the murder Of
his beautiful young wife late Tuesday
night on the dark and lonely Midlo-
THAN turnpike, few miles south of
this city.
Paul Beattie, cousin of the hus-
band, was also placed under arrest on
the charge OF having purchased the
mitsed.
Paul Beattie attempted to commit
suicide following his arrest and he
was taken to a hospital under guard,
suffering from commissions.
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr, told coro-
ner's jury his story of the murder of
his wife by an unknown man accosted
on the road while the couple were
driving their automobile several nights
ago on ths Midlothian turnpike.
Beattie's counsel stated that the
young man knew he was suspected by
the authorities OF having had hand
In the crime, and declared they would
not object to any line of questioning
the state might desire TO pursue, and
maintained that their client would
prove his innocence. Beattie, on the
stand for two hours, rigidly adhered
to his first story of the a. fr.
Beattie was the first witness heard,
the line of questioning indicating a
belief by the state authorities that his
wife was killed in the road, where the
large bloodstain was found, instead of
in the automobile.
Inquiry for the clothing worn by
Mrs. Beattie brought out the fact that
1t had been burned by her family,
who. it was explained, wished to de-
stroy a grewsome reminder of the
tragedy
The inquest was delayed while the
police authorities conferred about this
and was further delayed while the
elder Beattie and his sons counsel
were driven to the scene Of the muir
der, so that the lawyer could satisfy
himself as to the position Of the blood
stained earth with relation to the track
of automobile travel
Beattie was closely questioned, his
counsel throwing down all barriers by
declaring that the young man was
well aware he was suspected and was
ready to maintain his innocence.
Beattie was on the stand for more
than two hours, and In spite of all
tests, such as the reconstruction of
the scene at the moment OF the crime.
stuck to his original account of the
tragedy.
Another important witness was ex-
pected to be Beulah Binford. wo-
man with whom young Beattie is said
to have recently associated. Much of
the testimony at the inquest was ex-
pected to turn upon the relations be-
tween Beattie and his young wife.
Two leading criminal lawyers have
been retained i'm the case. one to
guard the interests of young Beattie
and one to assist the commonwealth.

READY TO INVADE PORTUGAL
Powerful Royalist Army Holds Drills
and Rifle Practice.

Lisbon, Portugal. July 22.-An, In.
vasion by Captain Couciere at the
head of the RoyaIist forces appears
imminent.
All attention Is now fixed on the
north. The Portuguese monarchists
possess thousands of rifles of the lat.
est pattern struggled into Galicia,
Spain, from Germany and Belgium,
and also many field guns and Maxims.
The monarchists remain on the
Spanish frontier, conspiring openly
against the republic. Notwithstanding
the continued assurances of the Span
ish government, the Royalists daily
hold military drills and practice rifle
shooting on the large private estates
among the hills of Galicia.
Under the monarchist regime. all
Portuguese regiments were kept far
below their normal strength to save
expense. The provisional government,
however, called all reservists to the
colors. These numbered about $4,000,
and were more than were needed I'M
der arms, it was thought, and further
more they entalled great expense. Ac.
cordngly all but 5000 were dismissed,
but ordered to be in readiness to re-
spond for service on tewenty-four
hours notice.
Influential opinion is convinced that
the Spanish government is secretly
protecting the Portuguese plotters in
Galicia, and the press has begun bit
ter campaign against Spain, alleging
bad faith.
