May Destroy Alibi

This will totally destroy the sto1y
of Paul Beattie, whose wife and
mother-in-law have sworn that he
was at home in bed the night of the
killing. Ever since the arrest of
Beattie the lawyers for the defense
have been convinced that Paul had
not told the whole truth, and have
sougth to find the weak point in his
story. They were confident today
that they can absolutely nullify his
alibi.
With that much of Paul Beattie's
story discredited it will not be hard
for the defense to attack his re-
liability, and utterly nullify the eff
feet of his tale of buying the gun for
his cousin.
Ellington. the engineer, declared
today that he knew Paul Beattie well
and had known him when he worked
on the Southern railroad.
The attack on Paul Beattie's alibi,
and the counter defense thereof will
be the sharpest fight of the trial and
there promises to be much contra
dictory evidence. Both sides are
supremacy confident about this point,
and await the actual issue with all
seeming serenity.

THE bEATT|E
MURDER TRIAL
Proceedings of One of Vir-
8inia'S Most Sensation.
al Trials From Day
to Day to Date.

w ~ ~
Richmond, Va, Aug. 1S.-That
Harry M. Smith, Jr., chief of counsel
for Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., will, if
forced by the showing of the prose-
cution, resort to an insanity plea in
an attempt to save his client, whose
trial on the charge of wife murder
will begin next Monday, is the sensa-
tional development in the case to-
day.
This morning it leaked out that DR..
Allison Hodges, a Richmond alienist,
has been retained by the defense,
and, at the same time, it became
known that the alienist has been at
the home of Henry Clay Beattie, ST.,
for several days delving into the his
tory of he Beattie family in the hope
to finding in the records of ancestors
any references to insanity.
Surprise to Friends
From the date of the arrest of
Beattie on the charge of having shot
his wife to death, the friends of the
defense have emphatically denied
the report that Beattie would put
forward insanity as his plea, and the
announcement today that DR.. Hodges
had been retained came as surprise
to the persons who still believe in
Beattie.
DR.. Hodges is an alienist of good
standing, but the weight of his testi-
mony is said to have been lessened
here by frequent appearances on the
stand in murder cases, and all the
prejudice which ordinarily obtains
against the evidence of alienists will
for this reason exist against his testi-
mony. DR.. Hodges conducts a big
sanitarium here for mental victims
and has been a student of ailing
minds for many years.
AS announced some days ago, the
prosecution has engaged several ali
enists to meet the defense if insanity
is finally resorted to. DR.. W. F.
Drewry, superintendent of the Cen
Tal State Hospital for the Insane;
DR.. J. S. DeJarnette, Western State
Hospital for Insane, and DR.. O. C.
Brunk, are the three alienists with
whom the prosecution is dickering.

As it was they helped themselves to

cut off business dealings with the

proclamation that should have been

the reward, the public interest did
not suffer consequently the Sheriffs $

conscience.

many years for proclamations of re-

one that newspaper could scarcely
survive were things different from
what they are. but, since the Item
usually hears things the Sheriff ought

something has happened, the blow is

surmised to be-from the rather

also gathered from conincident cir
