tion in the trial of Henry Clay Beattle,
Jr., for wife murder, that he had OBJ
served several blood spots along Mid
lothian turnpike where the crime oc-
Cured. Hitherto It had been pre-.
sumed no blood spot except one near
the place where Mrs. Beattle is sup
posed to have succumbed existed.
Alexander Robertson was the boy
and what he told the jury unexpected.
" in response to a question from
counsel for the defense entirely upset
the plan OF the commonwealth to rest
its case. Prosecutor Wendenburg an
nounced that 1t would be necessary
for him now to call at least seven or
eight witnesse to controvert the boys
Testimony.
On direct examination by Prose
cutor Wenaenburg, when the latter
was seeking to show where the boy
found a certain yellow hairpin, sim
liar to that worn by Mrs. Beattie,
Robertson referred to Its distance
from "the first blood spot"
Were there two blood spots?"
asked Harry NJ. Smith, Jr. counsel
for the defense, in apparent surprise,
and the boy not only told OF a second
blood spot, but pf several other sim
liar spots near it.
Evidence a Sensation.
The revelation concerning the pres
ence Of more than one bloodspot is
in line with the contention, of the de-
Tense that all blood on the road oozed
from the car, in winch Henry c.
Beattie, Jr., alleges his wife was sho:.
The prosecutions theory has been
that the large bloodspot inthe road at
the place where Mrs. Beattle Is al
legged to have been killed resulted
from a murder committed outside the
machine and not in the seat as Henry
Beattie alleges.
The prosecution has pointed out by
witnesses and its statements concern
ing the murder, that no blood was
found on either running board of the
car and that the dust pan underneath
the car %oIId0haye caught any blood
that trickled through the front part
of the machine from the seat and that
all the blood Visible had hardened on
the floor OF the car just beneath the
steering wheel.
Gain for Defense.

witness, by the prosecution only rul

COUNTY OVER NINE THOUSAND
DOLLARS -CoLLECTED ExcES.
SlVE TMOUNTS.

MIDDLEBOURNE, W. Va, Aug, 30.
According to the report OF the audi.
tors from the tax commissioners office
filed here ex.County Clerk ]. w. Duty
is indebted to Tyler county In the sum
of $9,O7S.G3., The audit covers the pc.
riod between January /, 1905, and
June 30, 1911. The report of Chief
Accountant +. A. Dover classified the
payments under two general heads:
First-A list of payments for SER
vices for which the law authorizes
payment to be made out of the county
treasury,
Second.-A list of payments for ser
vices for which the law authorizes no
payment to be made out of the county
treasury in addition to payments set
out under the first heading.
The report of the auditors covers Il
period under the old salary Of 5000 a
year and a part under the present law
OF $500 n year. The latter went into
effect May 26, 1909, The auditors
call attention to the fact that Clerk
Duty in 1910 and 1911 drew his entire
years salary in advance.
ut will be observed that Clerk
Duty was paid for making the 1909
land book, although section 7O7 makes
it the duty of the assessor to make
said book and docs not allow any
compensation to the assessor for said
services in addition to his annual sal
ary," says the report. Clerk Duty
is asked 10 return $S65,5O he collected
for making land boOks-a claim not
allowed BY law. He Is also requested
to return $S07.09, an excessive amount
collected for reporting births. deaths
and marriages. Tho law allows five
cents In each case. He is shown to
have charged as high as 16 cents.
The auditors followed the statute
in that the county court cannot make
an allowance to be paid by taxes on
the people without statutory author
ity, and finds that the county court Of
Tyler county paid to Clerk Duty e%'
cessive amounts for writing claims
and warrants. etc, in excess OF the
amount allowed by law, to the extent
OF $2,15O, and a finding Of that amount
is made against the clerk.
An itemized bill on reassessment o
lands, totalling S1,597,5O and paid Jan
uary 10, 1905. January Is, 1906, ant
August /, 1906, less 500 which the
auditors hold is allowed by order No

should be returned 10 the sherlif o.
