the matter up and are bitterly scor-
ing the millionaire and the young
girl.

BEATT|E HAD
ACUTE PANIC
Prosecution Will Make Ar
gument--Is New Theory.
Special BY United Press Wire.

Richmond, Aug. 8:-The prosecu-
ton IN the Beattie murder case, 1t
was learned today, will argue that
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., was in a
state of acute panic when he killed
his young wife.
The prosecution declare that Beat
tie was thrown into a panic by in
formation that his father, the source
of his spending money, was shortly
to arrive in Richmond, and feared
that his wife would cut off this gol-
den stream by telling Beattie, Sr., of
his sons cruelty and infdefty. In
this state of acute fear Beattie clum-
silly planned his wife's death This
new theory was decided upon TO of
set the possibility of the defense con-
tending that If Beattie had done the
deed he would not have purchased
the shot gun in such way that its
ownership was easily traced.
Three or four witnesses will be ia
ken before the grand jury next Mon
day.
