IS DESCRIBED AS

Witness Hines Says That w.
G. Brown Was Friend

Continued from First Page.)

explanation Of his old acquaintance
with w. G. Brown.
But that was not part of the testimony
today. 1t will not be made part of the
mons Congressman Billy Kent Of
California, and asks him about it. Kent
was an alderman In Chicago, and knows
great deal about ancient political his
tory there.
Todays sitting was favored by much
cooler weather than that which has tor
tured the committee and audience on
other days. In recognition of the CRATE
ful coolth, Mrs. Hines, with that charm
ing adaptability which has marked her
attitude throughout, appeared In a Pc
culiarly appropriate costume. 1t pre-
sented most effective combination OF
black and white French foulard," was
the way the dress was described by the
only woman in the room who didn't
seem too envious to be honest about II.
In connection with the incident of
his talk with President Brown, Mr..
Hines was asked whether he talked
with other Senators. He said he did.
You sent in for them to come out
and talk to you in the lobby of the
Senate, did your" asked Senator Ken
yon.
40, yes. certainly"
How many did you send for?''
Really, / couldn't tell how many"
Mr.. Hines said he wrote to people
who were well acquainted with par
ticular Senators, asking them TO use
their efforts in behalf of a fair un-
derstanding of Mr.. Lorimer and the
case. Especially, he enlisted lumber
men throughout the country in this
way. Then, too. if he met people in
Washington who knew Senators, and
were interested in behalf of Lorimer,
he asked those persons to speak to
the Senators about the case.
The first witness of the day was G.
r. Nelson. secretary to Hines. He
was called TO testify as to the go
ings and comings of Hines during
February last, while Hines was max
ing headquarters in Washington.
Clarence Funk, an anti-Lorimer
witness, testified that some time in
that period Hines called at his office
in Chicago to discuss the possibility
that there had been a misunderstood
ing about their previous conversation
in which Funk swore Hines asked him
for $4,000 to pay the Lorimer cam
paign expenses. Hines declared that
he never made such a visit to Funk:
and he has undertaken to prove an
alibi by showing that he was not in
Chicago at any time during that period.
Nelson testified in support of Hines
on this point.

FLIGHTS
WILL Be CONF |NED
To COLLEGE PARK
Trip Over Washington Now
Seems to Be I'M
probable.

Harry N. Atwood, the aviator. will re-
main in Washington and College Park
for several days making demonstration
tests of the aeroplane which the
Wright-Burgess company hopes to sell
the Government. Atwood. returning
this morning from quick trip to New
York announced that he would stay
here until he was about ready to start
on his New York to Chicago flight.
Those who wish to see Atwood fly
probably will have to go, to College
Park to do it, for Atwood now is COM
pletely disgusted with the adversely his
aeroplanes have met and will risk
smashing no more of them on long
fights and over poor landing grounds
until his contemplated journey from
New York to Chicago The date, Au-
gust 5, has been definitely set for the
beginning of that fight. Atwood in
tends ito start from Governors Island,
where he landed after his flight from
New London and where he started for
Washington.
Atwood stood by the wreck Of his
aeroplane in the Polo grounds this
morning and disconsolately viewed the
havoc WTedhcu ny idSl ll6hl SUI hi'
TITS in worse shape" he said, than
any aeroplane 1 ever saw after fall,
no matter from how great height. II
means practically a new machine. Even
the engine is badly damaged"
The wind and rain Of last night strip
ped the Governing from the planes of
the aircraft. Ribs were broken, and
the bare framework of the aeroplane
is all that is left, and the framework
itself is not wholly intact.
At wood was notified by telegram this
morning Of what had happened to his
machine last night, ana ne caught the
first train here. The ruins of the aero
plane will be sent back 10 New Eng
land for gshpildtnS.

according to Wendenburg, will posi-

along the road where the killing was
done as the weapon which he sold to
Paul and Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. He
will point out two steel pins, with which
q splinter from the stock had been re-
placed, and on which Ne remembers he
scratched his finger as he was handing
the gun over to Beattie.
Trace PauPs Movements. +
Efforts are being made this afternoon
to trace the movements Of Paul Beat
tie~on the night of the murder last
Tuesday night. His wife and her mother
say he came home about 1880 o'clock in
the evening, had his supper, read the
paper, and was In bed by 10 o'clock.
Mrs. Beattle's mother says she was up
until midnight with the baby and that
Paul did not go out of the house after
he finished supper.
This conflicts with a story told the
police by a street car conductor, who
says he knows Paul, the latter having
formerly ben employed on the line.
This conductor, the police say, asserts
that Paul eBattie was a passenger on
his car late Tuesday night.
Important testimony Is expected this
afternoon from r. L. Sydnor and his
on the Midlothian pike, where the trag-
edy occurred They are said to have
told the police that they saw an auto
mobile resembling Beattie's stop at this
point early Tuesday evening and one or
more occupants of the car got out and
pretended to examine a tire. This leads
to the theory that the gun with which
the crime was committed was hid in
the bushes near the roadside at that
time.
1t is contended by the police that Mrs.
Beattie was not shot while sitting in the
car, as her husband declared, but that
she was either on the sideboard of the
automobile or standing in the road,
probably the latter. This theory is
based on the big pool of blood that
wa sin the road. 1t Is held that so much
blood could not have soaked through
the automobile to the ground.

send forth again Pixley and Luder's
musical masterpiece, The Burgomast-
er," he was urged by we'll meaning

ment in favor OF this was that Mr.

receipts We're few hundred dollars
deducted from the weekly eXpendi-
lures. But this friend failed to un-
destand that Mr.. Cullen has a vast

business interest, and that he would
not under circumstances abuse the
confidence Of the public, especially al
ter having spent years in making his
production worthy Of the highest ia
vor and thousands of dollars in the
