SCHOOL BOYS GIVE
IMPORTANT EVIDENCE
Tell of Circumstance Observed by
Them at Time of Beattie Auto
mobile Murder.

Chesterfield, Court House, Va. :
Aug. 26.-Six school boys gave testi-
mony today Indicating a woman, pre-
sumably Mrs. Beattie, was standing
on the left running board of the ma
chine which they passed, and that a
man was crouched in front of the car.
The prosecution endeavored to shat
ter this with the contention of the
accused at the inquest that Mrs. Beat
tie was on the lef; hand seat when
she was killed
The prosecution sought to prove a
pool of blood near the machine mark
ed the spot where the murdered wo-
man fell, that the blood could not
have JriCkled through the bottom of
the car as the defense argued.
One boy said he saw a man unac-
cOmpanied standing by the machine
near the scene where the crime three
hours later, was committed. This
was in line of the prosecution con-
tention that Beattie placed a gun in
the bushes nearby so it would be
available when he was ready for the
deed of which he stands accused.
