STATE USED FOURTEEN WIT
NESSeS TODAY TO CONTRO.
VERT TUESDAYS TESTIMONY.
DEFENSE BEGINS ITS CASE
State Seeks to Show That Mrs. Beat
tie Was Not Killed in the Manner
Described by Her Husband-Youth
Proves Witness for Defense

Chesterfield Court House. Va. Aug.
3O.-The prosecution rested its case
at noon today against Henry Clay
Beattic, Jr after producing fourteen
witnesses this morning to Controyert
the testimony of yesterday as to the
presence OF more than one blood spot
on the Midlothian Turnpike.
The defense this afternoon began
the introduction of its witnesses.
BY showing that only one blood spot
existed, the state hoped to prove that
Mrs. Beattie's death did not occur as
her husband described Alexander
Roberts, mere boy, who was
placed on the stand Yesterday after
noon as a witness for the state proved
TO be valuable witness for the de-
Tense. In his direct examination by
the prosecutor, who was seeking to
show where the boy found certain
yellow harpin, similar to that worn
DIV MIS-. BedJIlc OH the llSUl Ol llt
murder, the youth referred to It's dis
lance from the first blood spot
When the cross-eXamination was Ia
ken mp. Harry NJ, Smith, Ir., for the
defense asked Were there two blood
spots" and the boy not only told OF
a second spot but several other small
er ones. This revelation concerning
the presence of more than one blood
spot is in line with the contention OF
the defense that all blood on the road
oozed from the car in which Beattie
alleges his wife was killed. The prose
ecution has sought to show that the
large blood spot was where Mrs. Beat
tie was killed, outside the machine.
and not in the seat of the car, as Beat
tie alleges.
As result of his cross-eXamina-
ton the Robertson youth proved an
important witness for the defense and
he will be called by the defense.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
WITHOUT A PASTOR
REV. FRANCIS FORD FORCED TO
LEAVE SOUTH ON ACCOUNT OF
ILL HEALTH.

Oscar Shumate received a letter
today from Rev. Francis Ford, pastor
OF the First Christian church of this
city, in which the Rev. Ford states
that during his absence of five weeks
from Ardmore he has been i'll the en-
tire time, and that he has concluded
he will be forced to give up his work
in this city. The letter was written
from Philadelphia where the pastor
has gone for medical treatment. Rev.
Ford is a Canadian, when he first
left the north he went to southeast
Texas where he contracted malaria
and came here in hopes that his
health would become better in this
climate. After remaining here about
three months he has concluded that
the north is better ada ted TO him
and he will present a formal resigna-
ton to the Christian church OF this
city. The pastor expressed the keen
est regret at his being unable to re
main with the Ardmore people and
the members of that church and the
people generally in Ardmore will re-
gret the necessity of his having to
move from here. He has proven TO
be a hard and an earnest worker and
the church under his supervision was
y orliing in harmony and much good
was being done. He has been absent
from Ardmore for the past five weeks.
