he has been thinking of attempting
for several years. Thursday after
noon Mr.. Schoonmaker took the trail
from Ell ,Porvenir to Hermit Lodge
Instead of continuing on to the lodge,
however, Mr.. Schoonmaksr sr decided
to leave the train and "shin" up the
mountains to Harvey's ranch. After
much hard climbing Mr.. Schoonmaker
succeeded in mounting to the summit
of Mount Leila, which is at the foot
of the Point of Rocks, where there is
sheer descent of over 1000 feet
BY carefully picking his way Mr.
Schoonaker succeeded in reaching the
Point and walking from there to
Harvey's was an easy matter. On
his journey Mr.. Schoonmaker carried
an ak, an umbrella and a walking
pole. With these impediments he
greatly resembled Robinson Crusoe

que, would be the best piece of road
building the new state of New Mexico
could possibly do. A territorial Of
ficial recently said that this bit of
road building would do more for New
Mexico than the construction of many
smaller pieces of highway. The fact
that the southwest has become so at
tractive place for automobile tour
lists and other persons on overland
transcontinental journeys practically
demands the completion of the scenic
highway. Every trageler who enjoys
a trip through the mountains on this
magnificent scenic road would become
New Mexico booster and advertiser

best advertisement the new state
could possess. It is hoped that off,

STATE WEAVING tight net
SIX BOYS GIVE TESTIMONY OF
DAMAGING NATURE AGAINST
THE ACCUSED.
new WITNESS is FOUND
NEGRO WHO WAS PASSING ALONG
PIKE NIGHT OF TRAGEDY
SAW TWO MOTOR CARS.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
26.-Six high school boys returning
from a dance at Bon-Air, eleven miles
from Rihcmond, gave testimony today
indicating that woman, presumably
Mrs. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., was
standing on the left running board
of machine which they passed and
that man crouched in front of the
car.
The prosecution endeavored to shat
ter in this way the contention o.
Henry G.. Beattie, Jr., at the coroner's
inquest that Mrs. Beattie was occu-
pying the left hand seat when she
was killed. The commonwealth by
its witnesses sought % vi owe that Ire
pool of blood near the machine
marked the spot where the murdered
woman fell from the automobile and
that blood could not have trickled
through the bottom of the car as the
defense argued.
The jury at the request of Prosecu-
tor Wendenburg examined the car
as it stood on the lawn out
side of the court room Several of
he iuryrnen particularly inspected the
portion of the car underneath the
seat where the prosecution claims a
grease pan would have caught the
dripping blood
incidentally the moryingls testi-
mony of the six boys brought out the
fact that one of their number, F. B.
Adams, who went alone to the dance
at Bon-Air, saw man unaccompanied
standing by machine near the scene
where the murder was three hours
later committed. This was in line
with the idea of the commonwealth,
that Beattie placed a gun in the
bushes nearby so that it would be
available when he was ready for the
deed of which he stands accused.
During the recess for lunch It de-
veloped that the prosecution had dis,
covered a new and important wit
ness, negro named Thomas Wilkes.
The latter will testify that he walked
home along the Midlothian turnpike
the night the murder was committed,
and thought he saw both the machines
carrying the young boys VINO attended
the dance at Bon-Air as well as
Beattie and his wife in au-
other car. He says he is positive he
saw no pedestrian. 1t was not ox-
pected that the negro would reach
