Ground

court to reopen the case and admit the
testimony of man who claims to
have been an eyewitness. whose name
is withheld, is now in city a day and
a half distant S-om here.
Mr.. Wendenburg received the infor-
nation which may change the whole
aspect of the case in yesterdays mail.
The writer, who, until few days aft
er the murder of Mrs. Beattie was a
farm hand employed on a place near
the scene of the crime, said that he
actually saw young Beattie kill his
wife-saw him knock her from the au-
| tomo bile with the butt Of a shotgun
| and then shoot her as she lay insensi-
| BILE on the ground. He wrote that
Beattie threatened him when he found
that he had witnessed the deed, and
the following day gave him a suit Of
clothes and money with which to go
away. Though he kept quiet at first
| because he was afraid, the man says
now he does not want Beattie to es-
cape punishment and is willing to tes-
| tify.
! At. the outset the prosecutors were
inclined to think that this was just
another cranks letter, of which many
have been received by both sides since
the trial began. An investigation was
| started, however, and several of the
writer's statements were Soon corrO-
borated. The Chesterfield farmer, men,
toned by the letter. acknowledged that

terday from the railroad trestle near
Broad Channel, when other fishermen
nearby saw his rod bend quickly.
Finding tina; he could not play the
fish sufficiently from a sitting position.
the man stood up and sought to whip
his pole back and forth. But the
weight on the other end of the line was
too great and seemed to be drawing the
rod from his grip.
He leaned forward to grasp the line.
In doing SO he stepped to one side of
tho boat and 1t rocked. Just as he was
about to take the line the fish pulled
harder than ever. The man clutched at
the pole wildly. stepped on the gunwale
n then. the boat overturning. he was
thrown into the water.
Men saw him struggling to save him
self and noticed that he still clutched
the pole. The fight to land the hsh had
weakened him. and with one hand made
useless by It's retention of the rod he
found il diaicuit to swim. Boats started
toward him. but when they reached the
rrot he had gone from signt.
TWENTY minutes afterward he was
found dead. Ills right hand was
~clenchea as though he had held onto the
