III Health Causes Dependency
Which IS Cause for
Rash Act
Was Awaiting Return Of His
fidnCee From European
Trip

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-While wait
ing to meet his fiancee upon her re-
turn trip from Europe, Daniel G. Gar
rison Jr., a member of one of the
most prominent and wealthy families
of St. Louis committed suicide today
because he believed that he was too
ill to marry. When his body was
found, shot through the head, at the
Waldorf Astoria, there were two let
ters beside him. In one the suicide
told his father that he would rather
die than continue to suffer and that
it would be unjust to his fiancee to
marry her in his present state of
health. The other letter was writ
ten by the gir1 he expected to marry
and urged him to cheer up and think
of better days to come.
Garrison's father and his son by
his first marriage, who came here
with him yesterday, declined to tell
his fiancee's name, saying that this
course was best for all concerned.

(By Associated Press

CHESTERFIELD, Va, Sept. q
Charles B. Westleberg of Richmond,
the mysterious witness, whose dis
covery yesterday caued the counsel
for the defense in the Beattie trial
to interrupt it's examination of wit
nesses for nearly an hour, came for
ward today with declaration that it
ws he who ws motoring in the Middle
ton turnpike on the night. of the MUIR
der stopped his machine to get some
water while the women with him
stood on the running board. The
testimony of Westleberg, if accepted
as fact neutralizes the evidence Of
fered by the prosecution in many i'm
portant respects, because of the COM
monWealth has held that it was Hen
ry C. Beattie Jr., who was vcrouching
in front of the machine on the turn
pike, while his wife was standing on
the running board and was shot, her
fall causing a big blood spot on the
road.

met her on the road and gave her a
ride for part of the way. Being a
married man l did not wish to volu-
teer any testimony that would put
me in a bad light socially, but I
told my wife and several intimate
friends and / guess it leaked out to

day.

and asked me if l wanted help, l
don't think he recognized me. The
story the boys have told of seeing
a man and woman in machine is
correct but in the interest of justice
am frank to say that the man was
not Henry Beattie, nor the woman
his wife,"
6eattie Will Complete Explanation
Before sundown today in the little
courthouse here Henry Clay Beattie
Jr., indicted for the murder of his
wife on the Midlothian turnpike,
probably will complete his explana-
ton of the tragedy to the jury that
for eight days has heard variety of
circumstantial evidence against him.
The prisoner was expected to take
the stand shortly after noon in d.
rect examination 60 be followed by
a vigorous cross examination, which,
it was said, possibly might continue
into the evening.
Accused CIings to Original Story
1t has already been demonstrated
by the defense that the accused would
cling tightly to his story at the cor
oner's inquest concerning the alleged
and would continue to,
dis credit Paul Beattie, bith with re.
spect to the purchase of the fatal shot
gun and the alleged confession which
Paul says he heard from the lips of
the accused the night after the trag.
edy. Importance will attach to the
of the prisoner as to his
relations with Beaulah Binford.
