an Excellent Reputa-
ton.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
When the Beattie murder trial
was resumed today the defense called
additional witnesses in the further
effort to show the good reputation of
the prisoner. Two merchants, the
police captain and police sergeant of
Richmond, testified and lauded his
character
r. H. Neblitt was on the stand and
his testimony decidedly contradicted
Paul Beattie's story as to the time
the gun was delivered to Henry.
DOUGLAS BEATTIE TEsTIFTEs.
Douglas Beattie, the prisoners
brother. swore that the relations be-
tween Henry and his wife were per
fectly happy" He declared the first
intimation of the murder was a tele-
phone message from DR.. Mercer, say
ing that Henry had been held up and
shot. The witness continued: Il told
the other people in the house and my
father, sister and 7 went to Tom
Owens house. Henry was in the
room lying on a reclining chair and
my father was kneeling by his side.
Henry was sobbing, moaning and
fondling his wifes slipper" The
witness corroborated his fathers tes-
timony of yesterday as to Henry's
manifestations of grief the night of
the murder.

Henry Clay Beattie, the indicted wife

from and about the site of the crime
If he had known they would lay
the crime against my brother" He
said he would have washed and clean
ed the car that night. The prosecu-
tion drew this forth. BY its ques-
tions il sought to lay the charge of
destroying evidence upon Douglas for
having some blood washed from the
machine before the authorities seiz-
ed it.
NEW WITNESS.

sel for the defense briefly interrupt
