ON MURDER
OF WOMAN
LIMITED PRESS LEASED WIFE. l

Richmond, Va, July 26.-Evidence
pointing to the possibility that Mrs.
Henry G. Beattie, Jr, for whose all
legged murder her husband is held
here, was killed while standing in
the road, and not while seated in
their automobile with her husband,
developed here today.
Eight young men, who in an auto
mobile on the night of the tragedy,
passed the place where the killing
occurred, said they passed an auto
mobile apparently stranded at the
exact spot where the pools of blood
were later found. A man and a
woman, they said, were standing be-
side the machine which the man was
evidently trying to repair. He re-
fused their aid.
All the young men fixed the time
they passed the stranded automobile
in the Midlothian pike at a few min
utes before the hour Beattie declares
the tragedy occurred.
The motive for the alleged murder
Of Mrs. Beattie is seen by the police
today in reports that Mrs. Beattie
had threatened to sue for a divorce
from her husband on grounds which
would have made the elder Beattie
disinherit his son

"If the state of California is so
deeply interested in Louis ]. Wilde
we might consider him Oregon S
contribution to the Panama exposi-
tion, and thereby save the money
which might be appropriated by the
next legislature to help out the
show said Governor West this
morning, when asked for his views
on the attitude of Governor Johnson
with relation to the extradition of
Wilde, who is wanted in this state
for alleged embezzlement.
"This would at least be a saving
of money to the taxpayers of the
state, though it would give no relief
to the thousands of small depositors
who were robbed of their savings
through the sale by Wilde of his bo-
gus bonds to the bank.
Cases Not Similar.
"The cases a"e not parallel in any
sense of the word" continued Gov
ernor West when advised that Gov
ernor johnson, in discussing the ex-
tradition of Wilde had stated that
he was pursuing the same course
which had been followed by Cover
nor West in certain case-refer-
ring to the Kilman case.
"Kilman was wanted for a petty
crime. He was accused Of stealing
a cow-the offense being alleged to
have happened 13 years ago in
Missouri. The cow had been re-
stored to the owner, and no one had
been injured Kilman had taken VI
his home in Oregon, and during his
residence here had lived an upright
life, providing a home for his fam
lily and educating his children. His
wife was i'll in the hospital, and she
and the children needed his support
and the good old state of Missouri
would not have been bettered by his
return there, and it would have been
next to a crime to have torn him
from his family and sent him back
to serve a penitentiary sentence
Wilde unloaded a million dollars OF
bogus bonds on bank in this state
and then got out and now that the
state of Oregon is asking him to
come back and stand trial he Is
fighting eXtradition."
Would Get Fair Trial.
"He need entertain no fears about
getting a fair trial if he is brought
back here. I do not think that the
governor of California, or any other
state, has any right to assume that he
will not be given a fair trial in the
state of Oregon, if brought back and
tried for the offense with which he is
charged"
