Paul's Character Attacked.

1t emphasized the point when it pro"
duced David D. Beattie, Paul's grand
father and the uncle of Henry, who
testified that Paul's character was not
good. 1t was another intense period in
the trial, for, with apparent regret,
the aged man told of his grandson 3
shortcomings.
The most surprising refutation of the
day against Paul's testimony came
when Ernest H. Neblitt said that on
Sunday, July 16, he saw Paul Beattie
on the bridge where he worked hand
ling single, ,barreled shotgun. Paul
had maintained ever since the coro-
ner's inquest that he disposed of the
gun the same day he bought it. Satnr-
day, July Is. by giving il to Henry.
Subsequently the defense brought many
witnesses to tell of Mr.. Neblitt' IS good
character and brought others TO attack
Paul's vcracity,
T. II. Lewis, an employee Of the
Beattie store in South Richmond, de,
clsred that people spoke OF Paul as
Fthe biggest liar in town.
Story of the Father.
Henry Clay Beattie, ST., told how
his life had been saddened by the
death Of some of his children, how
Henry in his infancy had been neglect
cd because twins came into the FAM
ily in his boyhood, and described how,
on this account and the death of his
own wife, he had grown closely at

strong love that had existed between
Henry and tho illfated wife, testify
ing that he himself grew to love his
daughterin-law as one of his own chill
dren.
when her baby was born," said
Beattie. speaking of the dead woman,
lit was, like starting life over for me
to see the grandchild. 1t drew us all
together very much.
The father spoke highly OF his son IS
character and controverted the testi-
mony OF MANY witnesses for the prose
. cution that Henry showed no signs of
grief after his wife's murder He de-
clared Henry had sobbed and moaned
almost all night after the tragedy.
Cross Examination Waived.
When Beattie had finished and was
ready for cross-examination by the
prosecution Mr.. Wandepburg waived
the opportunity. 1t was the first time
during the trial that this had occurred,
