PAUL BEATTIE
AS A WITNESS
Prisoner Preparing to Di-
rect Attack of His Attor-
neys on His Testimony.
LATE STARTING TODAY
Defense Lost Two Points
Raised on Technical Grounds
Judge Denied Motions.
snecinl h,. rrtteG Prs.. tysre.

Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Aug. 25:-Paul Beattie, the star wit
ness for the prosecution against his
cousin Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., is ex-
pected to take the stand today.
Young Beattie will direct the attack
of his attorneys upon his cousins
testimony. Beattie'g judgment is
prevailing against his attorneys and
Beulah Binford is expected to take
the stand either late today or to-
morrow.
Proceedings were delayed by Paul
Beatties late arrival The auto in
which he was conveyed TO the court
house broke down and he did not ar
rive until after the regular hour OF
convening of court. Counsel Smith,
for the defense, made another legal
objection. He moved to exclude all
testimony relating to the letter writ
ten by Beattie to Beulah Binford,
he arguing that Beattie was legally
under examination at the time that
he volunteered the admission that
he had written the letter but Judge
Watson declined to strike out the
testimony.
The defense then moved to Quash
the Indictment on the ground that il
stated that the wound in the face
had caused Mrs. Beattie's death. "
Counsel Smith declared that death
from this cause was impossible
Judge Watson overruled the motion
and thus the defense lost two finely
drawn legal points. Exceptions were
noted in both cases Despite the
drawback Beattie smiled and chat
tered earnestly with Smith, keep
ing his pencil busy jotting down
notes.
George Jarrells, q Chesterfield po-
liceman, who assisted Coroner Low
ing in the inquest, was called as the
first witness of the day.
Policeman FARRELL when placed on
the stand toward the end of the first
session of the trial today, related
the story Of the bearded man" as
told to him by Beattie on the night
of the murder. farrell described
Beattie's conduct as showing no ex-
element whatever.

Jamesburg, Aug. 25;-At the
State Home for Boys Saturday the
entire institution will be on dress
parade in anticipation of the expect
ed visit of Governor Woodrow Wilson
to the local Juvenile home. The pro-
gram arranged by superintendent
John C. Kalleen, while a modest one,
for the reception OF the chief execu-
tive Of the state, will be the most
elaborate ever rendered any COVER
nor who has visited here.
While it Is not positively known
at what hour Governor Wilson will
arrive at the home, it is thought he
will be at Jamesburg at the noon
hour, arriving in an automobile in
time for luncheon at which the trus-
tees will be present. The boys will
form in line and, headed by the COR
net band of the home, march to the
arch at the entrance of the state
home property to meet the visitors,
turn at that point and retrace their
steps. A tour of the institution will
then be made.
1t is expected that Governor VIII
son will also look over the site OF
the proposed reformatory for women
along the same lines as the Railway
institution A committee some time
ago after a visit to the Jamesbure
home site made favorable report
for its location here, as the state has
available over eight hundred acres

pointed throng that received the news
that Harry \. Atwood. the Boston ayi-
ator who is flying from st. Louis TO
New York, had met with an accident,
For hours they had stood on the OLD
race course in Sheepshead Bay In an
ticipation of his arrival and had craned
their necks, each one of them des1r-
GUS OF being the first to discern the
graceful lines of his aeroplane in a
somewhat overcast sky. But they
looked In vain. When the biplane
rounded Hook mountain, thlrty-one
miles from New York and on what
was supposed to be the last lap Of
the record breaking flight, something
in the machinery snapped. Atwood
volplaned down to the earth and on
examination found that the connecting
rod had broken. The spot where At
wood landed Is about two miles from
Nyack. The aviator expects to com
plete his trip this afternoon.
Atwood has Travelled 1,245 miles and
has broken the record for an unbroken
series of distance flights. The previous
mark was 1,184 miles.
The air was almost breezeless when
the aviator left Castleton to follow the
Hudson. He had landed only once
at Cold Spring, while cadets and army
officers who had expected him stood
on the West Point parade grounds
when he started to sweep around the
curve where Hook mountain tries Il
shoulder itself into the river. Seeing
a chance to gain little time. he tilted
bis planes upward and rose until h'
was almost above the crest of OLE
Hook itself. 1t was then that the en-
CINE began pounding and Atwood rel
the craft sinking. Although his pom
toons would have kept him adoat OF
the river. he did not care for tha
sort of landing. He pinched off th'
power and headed for the nearest spo
that looked as If 1t would hold al
aeroplane, The spot happened to b.
a lot 200 feet from the river across tn
road from the house of w. D. Davies
Atwood cut a circle or two and alight
ed smoothly. He found that the meta
that holds the connecting rod n plac
had worn through, and he had nothing
with which to fix 1t.
