SAY BEATTIE HAD
TWO AFFINITIES
Richmond Police Hope to Get i.
More Evidence From
BeuIah BinfOrd
BY The United Press.

RICHMOND, Va. July 2T.-That the
clue uncovered by the police that
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. had another
affinity besides Beulah Bmlord. may
result in shedding more light on the
motives for the murder Of Mrs. Louise
Owen Beattie, was the opinion ex-
pressed here today by detectives.
BY arousing Beulah Binford's leal-
ousy against the second affinity Tue
police hope to get more information
out Of the other woman than they
have so far succeeded in eliciting.
After three hours questioning OF
the Binford girl. the detectives have
established the fact that Mrs Beattie
knew of the child born to her hus-
band and Beulah Binford. and that it
was at her earnest solicitation that
Beattie gave the baby a decent burial
last summer. The police believe this
will support their theory that when
Beattie and his wife quarreled, he
feared that she would tell all the cir
cumstances of his intimacy with the
/ Binford girl to his father with the re-
suit that he would be disinherited
It was recalled today that the only
anxiety expressed by Beattie when
Beulah Binford was held as a material
witness by the police was that his
father should not be told Of his inti-
mate relations with the seventeen-
year-old girl
