Beattie'S Cousins Here
Refuse to Talk of
Richmond Tragedy

Miss Margaret Noud, first cousin of
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., of Richmond.
now accused of the murder OF his wife,
is a Washington resident. and a teacher
in the Phelps School. The notoriety In
which the Beattie family Is involved is
highly distasteful to the Washington
relatives, who include a brother and a
sister. Miss Emma Noud. besides Miss
Margaret, the teacher.
The matter is so painful that / will
not discuss it, said Miss Margaret
Noud this morning, at ner home in
the Toxic apartment, 322s School street
northwest.
Il have nothing to say about the
matter in any way. will give no opin-
ion about the guilt or innocence Of Mr.
Beattie. Please don't ask me any more
questions. Can't you understand how
We feel about this?''
Miss Emma Noud was less reticent.
She was willing to state that the cou-
sins here have confidence in Mr..
Beattie"
Miss Noud says the only messages
she and her sister had had from the
Beattie family were brief, and merely
confirmed the report that Mrb. Beattie
had been killed. The Beattie family
she did not designate which members
had also sent her newspapers containing
narratives OF the crime and the subse-
quent events.
For Beattie's father she expressed
the highest admiration and regard. She
declared that so far as she knew his
son was also a fine man. She ex-
pressed confidence in him.
Employees at the lunch room at 80.
Fourteenth street northwest think thai
Harry c. Beattie. jr.. was employed

twenty-five years of age who was
known as Joe" Beattie. and said thai
he was from Richmond. Va, was en-
ployed as night waiter with himself a.
that time.
Upton sees a striking resemblance be
tween his former feflow-employe ant
the pictures of Harry C. Beattie, jr.
that have been published in the news
papers.
Joe" Beattie worked at the lunch
room for about six months, up to a yea
ago Christmas, when he was discharged

Bacon Duplicates
His Performance of a
Half Century Ago

Senator Nelson Of Minnesota and Sem
ator Bacon Of Georgia agreed today
that Bull Run was bad luck for them.
On their way to the Manassas jubilee
Senator Brandegee's automobile, in
which they were travelling, stuck in
the middle of a stream, and 1t took
the President and all the President s
automobiles and all the Presidents men
to get them out. They harked back in
memory to old days then, and Senator
Bacon said that Gen. Johnston's gray
coated lads. with whom he fought
through the war. got to the battle too
late. And Senator Nelson, who had
fought with the Minnesota troops, said
that he got there in time, all right
been able to stay there very long. Both
spent the. night Of July 4, 1861, there,
though.
The colleagues of the two friends who
fought against each other in the civil
war and now are the best of the friends
heard them reminisce today. Senator
Nelson told of the battle itself and of
the terrible carnage, the laundering of
the artillery, the fearful cracking of
musketry, the smoke and smell Of pow
der, to which both armies had not yet
become used.
Senator Bacon did not reach Manas-
sas Junction till late in the afternoon.
He went to the battlefield and spent
the next day in caring for the wounded
and burying the dead. II walked for a
mile and a half and never touched the
ground" Mr.. Bacon said. Goats of
dead men, muskets, pistols, swords
fairly covered the ground. And II is
hard to think of the poor, brave fellows
that lay there"
1t was Senator Brandegee who plan
pen the trip for the two Senators. He
had often heard them talk Of Manassas,
and it was his idea that they should
once again meet there and spend the
night there II they wished.
