arrival of witnesses today delayed
proceedings for half an hour. Then
character witnesses were sworn. Cap
tain Wright of the Richmond police,
j. P. Jones, R. o. Broadus and Rich
ard Sanders all testified that the rep
utations of E. Neblitt, whose testi-
mOny flatly contradicted that of Paul
Beattie, and Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
were both good.
Following these witnesses the de-
fense, in further efforts to show that
the relations between Beattie and his
wife were most cordial, placed the
prisoners brother, Douglas Beattie,
on the stand.
After stating that Henry Beattie and
his wife apparently kissed whenever
they met. and that he never had no
tlced any lack of harmony between
them. Douglas, referring to the night

lOnged to Louise, and l knew then
that she was dead"
The boy then went on to describe
smearing his clothes with blood in
driving the automobile after the trag-
edy. Attorney Smith asked permis-
sion to have experts examine the car,
stating that the defense purposed to
show that the bloodstains on the turn
pike might have leaked through the
car lnterrupting himself at this point,
however, Smith without waiting to
receive the desired permission, told
the court that he had just received a
message conveying information of a
most important nature, which might
necessitate the calling of another wit

While Smith was at the telephone
Henry Beattie, visibly affected, whis-

Attorney Carter said:
The message is of intense impor-

verify it."
Half an hour later Smith announced

Douglas Beattie then resumed his
testimony.
Later Smith dramatically called
the Sheriff aside, and, writing a name
on a small slip of paper, handed 1t to

leaders and at the company's office
this morning. Neither the general
officers of the craft unions nor the
members of the advisory board of the
federation would speak regarding the
probable outcome of the meeting after
Kline, the chairman, had made his
statement. They seemed to under
stand that the mysterious crisis of the
railroad employees of the country had
been reached and that within a few
hours they might be called upon to
open an industrial war, reaching from
end to end of the country, the out
come of which could only be guessed.
No Hope of Agreement.
The members of the advisory board
apparently were satisfied to leave the
discussion with Kruttschnitt in the
hands of the general officers of the
craft unions. They did not, however,
express any belief that Kruttschnitt
would change his mind The few words
that they did use to express their feel
ings were rather of confidence in the
success of a possible strike than hope
of peaceful settlement.
AT the offices of the company no
one could be persuaded to say any
thing about the probable issue of the
conference. The bluff of the COM
pany, if it has been such, is called
today. Kruttschnitt must face strike

Seyenty-fiye Let Out.
Seventy-five train auditors in the
Pacific system of the Southern Pacific
and 25 other employees in the Flood
building headquarters here were let
out today. According to Fred G.
Athearn, head of the economic bureau
of the railroad, this makes 500 in all
who have been dismissed since the
company recently promulgated its
program of retrenchment.
In all there are $50 auditors on
trains in this system, and about half
of these have been retained where the
traffic is heaviest. At the Flood build
ing the employees dismissed were
those who received earlier notice of
dismissal but were permitted to finish
out the month for which they were
employed
Previously 400 employees have lost
their positions, 100 of whom were en-
plOyed at the Flood building offices,
and the others at the several division
headquarters outside San Francisco.
According to Athearn, the decapita-
tion of the rs train auditors was on
the initiative of the conductors, who
objected to what they considered a
sharing of their work and pay with
second men.

The prosecution claims that Beattio

and his lawyers without ceasing yes
terday reviewed Scherer's testimony.
He had related half a dozen conversa-
tions with Beattie in which the ac-
cused man admitted his relations with
Beulah Binford and his wife's knowl-

These Beattie and his lawyers
threshed over, seeking flaws in the

Beattie Looked Anxious.
When Beattie took his place at the

anxious than at any time since the
trial began. He leaned wearily for

THESE FISHERMEN
HAVE REAL BAD LUCK

Norman p. Crouch and Halbert l..
Massey, of the chancellor's Office, have
been fishing at the Shallcross pond in
st. Georges hundred. The, heavy rain
on Friday night was too heavy for the
roof of the cottage which they in
habited and about 8 O'Clock Saturday
morning they went up to the miller's
residence and asked for admission.
They were cordially received and
stayed until Saturday morning. During
the forenoon a ham was cooked and
the pair went fishing. But the fish were
not biting and they got no fish. Upon
going in for dinner, imagine their feel
ings to find that a dog had invaded
their quarters and carried off the
ham. There was nothing left for them
to do but to go to Middletown for their
meals.
Court House employees had wondered
why the promised fish from Mr..
Crouch and Mr. Massey had not been
received but now all is forgiven.
