Prosecution Unexpectedly Put S
Mrs. Owen, Mother Of Murder
ed Woman, on Stand
Against Prisoner.
IMPORTANT POINT IS SCORED
Testimony Bearing on Alleged Motive
For Crime is Brought to the Sur
face-Defendant Fidgets
Nervously.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
2s.-The prosecution sprung a surprise
today when simultaneously with the
introduction of Beattie's blood stained
clothes, Mrs. owen, mother OF the
murdered woman, suddenly appeared
and took the stand.
The witness testified her daughter
during her married life was sad and
had frequent crying spells. Her testi-
mony brought to the surface the point
intended, relevant to the alleged mo-
tive for the murder, namely Beattie's
physical condition. due to dissipation.
which the prosecution seeks To prove
caused Beattie to kill his wife for fear
his father might learn of his condl-
tion and disown him.
The witness testimony was cut
short by the suggestion of the court
for a recess and a conference with
the counsel of both sides, the jury and
prisoner. to discuss further testimony
along this line.
While Mrs. owen testified, Beattie
nervously fiidgeted with n pencil At
first he ondeavored not to look In her
direction, but she spoke so feebly he
found ii necessary to join the row OF
projecting heads to hear her testi-
mony. once he nervously whispered
to his lawyer, "ask her to speak loud
er; I can't hear"
Mrs. owen Is said to have been her
daughters confidant, and is believed to
have known OF Beatties relations with
the Binford girl The witness testt-
fled how she arrived at the Beattle
home on May 22nd. of the birth OF the
roottlo child Nav 31si. and hinted at
the trlbulations of her daughter, caus-
ed by Beattie's relations with the Bin
ford girl.
The defense moved to strike out Mrs.
Owens testimop, regarding the pris-
oner's condition, but the court over
ruled. Dr. A. G. Franklin testified for
the prosecution and told of treating
Beulah Binford, the "girl in the case"
which the doctor said was at Beattie's
request from May 25th to July nth,
1911. The cross examination brought
facts that Franklin treated the girl
when she was twelve or thirteen years
old for the same illness.
IL was learned that the prosecution
expected Mrs. owen to testify late to-
day, that from Beattie's actions when
he brought his dead wife home, she
suspected him of the murder outside
the court room 1t was rumored that
Mrs. owen even asked Beattie. prac-
tically, IL he did not commit the deed.
