Going back to the scene at the Owen
house, when Beattie brought his Wife's
body, Gregory asked:
Did you notice the conduct OF the
accused %
He was not very excited" declared
Owen.
But he was kept away from the
room where We had placed his wife's
body. He wanted to get in. but We
did not let him. He asked me for
some whisky and / gave him some. !"
Owen declared that half pint bottle
which he gave Beattie disappeared en-
tirely, although he saw him take but
single small drink.
Owen reviewed the story of the kill
ing as told by Beattie outlying at length
bis explanation Of the appearance OF
the dark bearded tall man" who held
him up in the road, He described the
wound across Beattie's nose which the
latter declared was result OF the high
wayman's 8 striking him with the butt
Of the gun.
Oven declared that Beattie took no
part 10 the search for the assassin, in-
stituted by the Owen family beyond
describing the "highwayman."
Gregory questioned Owens as to the
relations OF Beattie and his wife prior
to the killing. No material testimony
along that line was secured. The
state did establish that Beattie was
somewhere on the road from his
fathers house to the Owen home for
an hour that cannot be accounted for
on the night of the murder. Beattie
explained, Owen said, that he had
punctured a tire on the automobile
and had stopped to repair it.
On this lost hour the state will base
the contention that Beatsie took the
gun out TO the scene of the murder
and hid the gun behind ;! tree.
{ After ascertaininf that Oven had
seen party of noisy Joy riders il a
speeding automobile going toward
Richmond along the Midlothian turn
pike, short time before Beattie
brought his wife's body home from the
same direction, the witness was turned
over to the defense. Harry NJ. Smith
took up the examination and he en-
deavor'd to confuse Owen az to some
OF the rinor details of his story with
out much success. The antagouiSm
OF the Owen family toward the prisoner
cropped out in Ovens cross-examina-
ton. He assumed belligerent tone
and manner and watched Smith closely
They quibbled great deal over i'm ma-
terial details.
While the witnesses were being
sworn Beatte divided his attention be-
tween those wbo will appear against
him api the jury. He scrutinized
each iurya!au closely occasionally lean
ing over to discuss one or another Of
them with bis father or bis counsel.

ANXIETY OVER THE
MOROCCAN SITUATION.
France to Send Her Last Words to
Germany Tomorrow---Outc0me
Uncertain.

London, Aug 24.-Anriety over the
Moroccan situation is again apparent
here with the approach OF the cabinet
meeting tomorrow in Paris when it is
expected final proposition will be
made by France to Germany. The
general opinion in diplomatic circles is
that the signatory powers to the Alge-
ciras treaty will approve the proposal
of France for the establishment of a
protectorate 10 Morocco in exchange
for Congo concessions to be made to
Germany. What the limit of these
concessions will be is to be determined
by the French cabinet.
Paris. Aug. "a The government is
today estimating the effect of its reply
to the demands of Germany for terri
torial rights in the Congo, upon the
French people as we'll as upon Ger
many. 1t is feared that should the
people regard the reply to be formulat.
ed tomorrow as victory, for Germany,
the cabinet might be forced out Of Of
fee.
The French cabinet, at its meeting to-
morrow will frame its last word to Ger.
mauy in the Moroccan dispute. This
answer will be Immediately given to
M. Jules Camhop, the French Ambas-
sador to Germany, who will depart for
Berlin to communicate it to the Ger
man government.
He will be instructed to make it plain
to Germany that France is determined
to adhere to this last declaration and
that before it was sent to Germany, it's
contents had been conveyed to the Rus
sian and English cabinet and had been
ratified by them.
No intimation of the French position
will be permitted to leak until the for
NAL note has been presented to the
German foreign minister. 1t is made
plain, however, that Germany must
either accept or reject its terms, as this
is frances last word on tile subject.
