MYSTERIOUS
WITNESS On
The STAND
Man Gives Testimony Which
May : Beattie
He Was MAJ 3 Auto Seen BY
The ys
Says He Does & Know Who
Women Pas ler Was

Chesterfield, va, Sept. 2.-Charles
3. Kestleberg OF Richmond. the mys-
terious witness whose discovery yes
terday caused counsel for the defense
in the Beattie trial to interrupt It's ex-
animation Of witnesses for nearly an
hour. came forward today with the
declaration that it was he who was
motoring on the Midlothian turnpike
on the night of the murder ana stop
ped his machine TO get some water
while the woman with him stood on
the running board.
The testimony Of Kestleberg, if ac-
copied as fact. neutralizes the evidence
offered by the prosecution in many inn
pcrtant respects because the common
wealth has held that II was Henry G..
Beattie, jr.. who was crouching i'm front
OF the machine on the turnpike while
his wife was standing on the run
ming board and was shot, her fall
causing the big blood spot on the road.
A crowd OF boys who told of their
coming from the dance at Bon Air had
testified for the prosecution that they
saw a man and woman and offered
them help but 1t was refused.
II win tell you very frankly" Kes-
tleberg said, that I don't know who
the woman was who was with me. /
met her on the road and gave her
ride for part OF the way. Being
married man didn't wish to volunteer
testimony that would put me in a bad
light socially but I told my wife and
several intimate friends and guess it
leaked out to the defense, who sum
naoned me today"
did you see any other cars on the
road that nigllt7s He was asked. Il
saw the boys go by and another car
that was running very rapidly and /
could not see who was in 1t. rec
osniEed one of the boys who stopped
and asked if wanted help but u
don't think ne recognized me. The
story the boys told OF seeing a man
and woman in a machine is correct,
but in the interests Of Justice / am
frank to say that the man was not
Henry Beattie, nor the woman his
wife"
May Finish Tale Today.
Before sundown today in the little
courthouse here Henry Clay Beattie.
jr., indicted for the murder of his
wife on the Midlothian turnpike, prob
ably will complete his explanation Of
the tragedy to the jury that for
eight days has heard variety Of cir
cumstantial evidence against him.
The prisoner was expected to take
the stand shortly after noon In d.
rect examination to be followed by
vigorous cross -examinat 4, which, 1t
was said, possibly might 1ontinue into
the evening 1t already has been
demonstrated by the defense that the
accused would cling nightly to his
story at the coroner's inquest con-
corning the alleged highwaymen and
would continue to dlscredit Paul Beat
tie both with respect to the purchase
OF the fatal shotgun and the alleged
confession which Paul says he heard
from the lips OF the accused the night
after the tragedy.

MABEL HARRISON is Low.
Suffering With tuberculosis. She Is
Taken TO San Antonio.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Friends of Mabel Bar
rison, the actress, who was recently
forced to cancel her engagements due to
q sudden attack of tuberculosis, fear the
popular star may never appear in public
again. The disease, which was at first
regarded as acute bronchitis, attacked the
glands of the throat and the symptoms
were then diagnosed as tubercular.
What progress Miss harrison had made
since her retirement in December was I'M
known until Saturday. when she left for
San Antonio, Tex, accompanied by her
husband, Joseph Howard, the song writer
and her physician. DR.. ]. F. Pitts.
A cottage has been engaged by the
party near San Antonio, and here the
fresh air. cure is expected to accom-
plish much toward Miss Barrison's re
coVery.
A feature of the illness that has aroused
the most anxiety has been the affection
of the lobe of the left lung, that organ
being reported as almost totally destroyed
by the ravages of the disease
Miss harrison is a native of Chicago.
and it was here she achieved her first
success by singing II Can't Do This Sum-
in BABES in ToyIand.'' She will also be
remembered for her delineation of the
Fitch's play of that name.
Her last appearance was in ''IMlu's
Husbands" from which she retired in
December.
The fact that Miss Barrison was not
permitted to receive her friends prior to
her departure for the south is regarded
as an alarming symptom by those ia
miliar with her affairs. These facts. to-
gether with the sudden southern trip,
1iayed, confirm the fear that she nav
never play again.

No, Polly of the Circus is not must
cal comedy; it is not circus, nor is it
rip-roaring farce of the present day.
1t is a delicate little drama, with
heart interest story in it, just as you
would expect from such a producer as
Frederic Thompson. This play will be
seen at the Grand, three performances,
commencing tonight. It is only too true
that in most of the dramatic offerings
the star is 1.-The thing and the sup
porting company usually composed of
less talented people, but here, without
any star, there is a well balanced per-
Torrance.
Queen of the Highway, a sensational
melodrama with cowboys, horses and
wolves, with a real stage coach, will
be the offering at the Grand Monday
evening. The prices will be 25, 35 and
so cents.
