W. R. Holland, who lives in the 7icin-
ty of the Midlothian turnpike, where
the murder took place, declared he
had seem a bearded man with a shot
gun there about five hours before the
tragedy,
It was the first move of the defense
after the prosecution rested rds case at
noon today to establish the veracity
of the prisoner, and t'esides Hollands
statement concerning a man with a
shotgun, Eugene Henshaw, farmer,
who travels the Midlothian turnpike
daily, testified he saw a strange look
ing man prowling around on three
different days before The murder.
Ready With Check.
It is reported tonight that the pros
ecuton is ready, wheIS it's time for re-
buttal arrives, to put on the stand the
man who passed along the railroad
tracks where Holland. said he saw q
man with shotgun and that the new
witness will say he wsIs squirrel hunt
ing that day.
The defense summoned many wit
nesses. Besides the testimony regar
ing the bearded man, expert testimony
was introduced as to The bouncing
qualities of an automobile similar to
that driven by Beattie thereby ac-
counting for the jolting out from the
car Of the shotgun placed in rear
seat by Beattie after the encounter
with the alleged highwayman.
Attacks This Redoubt.
The prosecution attacked this line
of evidence on cross s+examination. It
contended that the railroad crossing
where Beattie claims the gun must
have been elected from the car was a
smooth one and that the jolt which
might have resulted from crossing the
tracks where the rails are exposed
necessarily would have tossed the
weapon forward of the crossing in
Stead of directly sideways, parallel
with the track, where the gun was
found. The idea of the prosecution
has been to Indicate that Beattie him
self slowed down at the crossing and
threw the gun to one side on his way
to the Owen home with his dead wife.
The defense sought 20 show that be-
ing held up by highwaymen while
motoring in this vicinity was not an
uncommon occurrence, and put ON the
stand a chauffeur who related an ex-
perience with a highwayman a year
ago.

Augusta, Aug. 29.-For the first time
since the storm>that has wrought such
devastation has relented in its Jury,
first hand authentic information has
reached the outside world from Beau

the strenuous efforts being made to

made a thorough investigation Of the.
conditions beyond there yesterday af-

tie destruction of residence property.
The loss to crops, however, has been
tremendous as the cotton crops in the
rich trucking section are reported to-
tally destroyed. This section includes
nractica11v all of the country along
the railroad from Coosaw to Port
Royal. The cotton crop is planted af-
ter the truck has been gathered. AS
this cotton is much further inland
than the sea islands and the force OF
the storm was greater nearer the
ocean it is not improbable that the
island crops have suffered as heavily
as those further inland if not moro

George V. and Mary, his queen, even
more elaborate than was that of King
Edward nine years ago. There was
for a brief time a faint inclination
upon the part of some of those whose
business it is to put the trimmings on
the coronation festivities to tone down
in some degree the anticipated elabo-
rateness of the affair, but that quickly
changed to determination to make
