Accused Man Sits Close To Counsel
and Advises as To the Manner

CHESTERFIELD COURTHOUSE.

CHESTERFIELD COURTHOUSE.
Va, Aug. 25.-With Paul Beattie, the
weakling and star witness for the
states attorneys, who are lighting to
send Henry Clay Beatie. Jr., to the
electric chair, scheduled to take the
stand, the calm-eyed prisoner took
charge OF his own defense.
Seemingly confident that by direct
Ing the energies Of Lawyers Harry NJ.
Smith and Hill Carter, he can improve
the chances In his fight for life, the
man accused OF numbering his young
wife, assumed personal control Of the
details Of the case. He relied on the
lawyers-two of Virginia's most bril-
liant legal lights--for legal points.
But they settled no question OF im-

states witnesses.

Confident OF his power over the
weakling cousin, whose confession
that he bought the gun with which
Mrs. Beattie was killed, placed Henry
on trial for his life, Beattie planned
TO concentrate the attack OF his law
yers on Paul. His story Is the key
stone OF the arch that bears up the
states case, and II II can be broken In
the least degree, the chances for do.
molishing the entire structure will be
good. With this in mind, the defense
planned a tremendous assault on the
thin, yellow-faced, vacillating cousin.
Paul, nervous and agitated, but
looking well after his months deten-
tion, was taken from Richmond jail
by Detective Scherer and brought to
Chesterfield in an automobile. He
chatted nervously with the detectives
who accompanied him. As he dis
