poets to put Henry Clay Leattie jr. In
the electric chair for the murder Of his
wife. II was extra labor. for the Com
monweaith lawyers had completed their
case yesterday. Blu q little shock
headed boy, In corduroy brceches and
blue blouse. with remarkable precoci,y.
walked through tho !abot!ously con-
structed chain Of evidence as II II were

about the courthouse. stepped into tho
witness chair, banded words with the
. keen lawyers. told his story with the air
OF an expert. and utterly upset the
case against Beattie. A moment later
he was again running errands.
FOUND STRING OF BLOOD SPOTS
NEAR MURDER SCENE.
The boy had determined to make his
own investigation OF the case. he said.
detectives who worked on tho case
looked fora series Of blood spots from
shs scene OF the crime. extending for
about two miles along the road taken
by the death laden automobile.
Uncontradictsd. the LADS story would
prove that the dead woman's blood
could have leaked through the speeding
machine. This would SKATER the well.
studied theory OF the State that a sin
gle blood spot IN the road proved that
the woman wss killed while standing on
the road and not while seated In the al.
tomobile. as Beatue claims.
To-day the State summoned detectives
90 show that there WA but q single
bloodspot IN the road and u, the scene
OF the crime.
Miss Louise Reams appeared ~ the
prosecutions first witness of the day.
