REJECTED CHARTER
 FOR NEW TROLLEY LINE.
Senators Judson and Marsden in Hot
 Controversy.

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 29.-In the senate the afternoon was we'll taken up with debate over the granting of a charter for a trolley line between Huntington and Bridgeport via Trum- bull, the same charter which the house had voted after the railroad committee had unfavorably reported a bill which sought to regulate trolley fares in Huntington. The debate was mainly between Senator Judson, who made 6 very stirring though unsuc- cessful plea for the charter that his constituents might have means of reaching Bridgeport which is now de- nied them, and Senator Marsden of the railroad committee.
 Velvet Hand of N. Y., N. H. and H. |. The former gave the committee chairman a verbal tongue flashing such as he had not seen this session. Mir. Judson said that the committee fa- vored the petitioners until the velvet hand of the New Haven road had been extended.
 MT. Judson said that the senator (Marsden) could not claim that the charter was to be a pocket one, as he was willing to put in an amendment construction should be done. Senator Marsden would not accept such an amendment.
 Senator Hooker objected to the pro- visions as to sale of charter, issuance Of bonds. etc, as containing vicious principles. Mir. Judson was willing to strike out these provisions, although they were no different from those in other charters. and to make certain that the bill was all right it had been submitted to the governor.
 On rollcall vote the bill was re- jeeted in concurrence.
 Merging Bank and Trust Company.
 The bill to allow the Shelton Say ings bank to merge with the Sheltcn Bank and Trust company, which had been tabled earlier in the day, was debated and finally passed. Pleaded for Tobacco Raisers.
 The house refused to reconsider it's action in rejecting the bill providing 6 for an appropriation of $5G0 year for each of ten years for scientific study of tobacco culture. Representative Chandler pleaded for the bill. as he said that a study of this, one of the greatest of agricultural industries in the state, needs attention.

 Paul's Story Not Shaken.
 Paul Beattie's story of yesterday was not shaken in the cross-examination by counsel for defense, but it became apparent today that the defense in tends to refute his testimony by plac- ing on the stand the prisoner himself.
 Az to the Prisoners Reputation.

THE FIRST HARVARD
 AT HARVARD COLLEGE.
Descendant of the Original Founder
 Coming from London.

Boston, Aug. 2s.-For the first time in the PTS years history of Harvard university the name of Harvard will appear on the student rolls the ccm- ing fall. Lionel De Jersey Harvard of London, descendant of the family of John Harvard, founder of the uni versity, will sail for Boston next week and under unusual and sentimental circumstances will become a member of the class of 1915.
 Lionel Harvard is directly descended from a second cousin of John Harvard, who died in 163S. He prepared for Emmanuel college, but financial req sons prevented his entering.
 The discovery of the young man is traced to a letter written in 1947 by Edward Everett, then president of Harvard university, to George Ban croft, minister to Great Britain. It referred to members of the Harvard family, and the letter was recently dis covered among old letters belonging to Bancroft.
 Harvard men becoming interested, imm mediately took steps to have the young man enter Harvard.

Experts to Show
 Heart Failure
ATTEMPT TO PROVE DEATH
 FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
GEIDEL's DEFENSE
Struggle Begun by Broker Hrourht on Fatal Attack Of Disease = Several Physicians on Stand for Defense.

New York, Aug. 29-In the fight to save Paul Geidel from the electric chair, the defense today introduced testimony tending to show that Will liam H. Jackson died of heart failure and not at a result of chforoform ap- piled by the IT year old. belnboy. Gei- defs counsel is attempting to prove that the boy vent to the brokers room on invitation and that the aged man died of apoplexy or heart failure dur ing the struggle which he himself inf- tiated.
 Hypothetical Question.
 Dr. Max E. Talmey qualified as an expert witness for the defense, and in answer to a hypothetical question de- clared that he believed the "canse of death was heart failure, due to degen- eration of the heart.' Other testimony was introduced to show that Jackson's s complexion had a "bluish tinge," such as might exist in the case of a person physically disposed toward apoplexy. Dr. Talmey on rigid cross examination, however, admitted that some Of the conditions of Johnson's body pointed to strangulation, but that the pre- ponderance pointed to yo-carditis.
 Heart Found Weak.
 Coroner's Physician Timothy Lehane admitted finding diseased state of the kidneys and of the principal nour-- ishing capillaries of the heart, but gave as his opinion that neither of these conditions necessarily caused a weak ening of the heart.
 Death Duo to Hemorrhage.
 Dr. Melton Albert Mobiles of Phila- delphia, put on the stand by the de- fense as another medical expert, said that Mir. Jackson died of hemorrage, caused by a diseased condition of the arteries near the heart. The session closed with Dr. Nobles testifying. He will be further questioned tomorrow.

Boy Witness Upsets the Prosecution in
 the Beattie Murder Trial
TESTIMONY A STARTLING SURPRISE
Strong Point For the Defense-Has Bearing Whether Crime Was Committed Inside or Outside the Auto- mobie-Cousin of the Accused Nov Confirmed in Jal-Prsoner to Go on the Stand

Chesterfield Courthouse. Va. Aug. %. An auburn haired boy. talking swift ly but clearly. revealed on the witness stand today, to the surprise of both defense and prosecution. in the trial of Henry Clay Beattie. Jr.. for wife mur- der. that he had observed several blood spots along Midlothian turnpike where the crime occurred. Hitherto it had been presumed no blood spot except one. near the place at which Mrs. Beattie is supposed to have succumb- ed. existed.
 Must Controvert Boys Testimony.
 Alexander Robertson was the boy, and what he told the jury in response to question Of counsel for the de- fense entirely upset the plan of the commonwealth to rest it's case today. Prosecutor Aldenburg announced that it would be necessary for him to call at least seven or eight witnesses to controvert the boys testimony.
 On direct examination by Prosecutor Wendenburg. when the latter was seeking to show where the boy found a certain yellow hairpin similar to that worn by Mrs. Beattie Robertson referred to it's distance from the first blood spot
 Two or More Blood Spots.
 Were there two blood spots?'' ask ed Harry NJ. Smith, Jr., counsel for the defense. in appaI ent surprise, and the boy not only told of a second blood spot but of several other smaller spots near it.
 The revelation concerning the pres ence of more than one blood spot is in line with the contention of the defense that all blood on the road oozed from the car in which Henry C. Beattie, Jr.. alleges his wife was shot. The pTosecution's theory has been that the large blood spot in the road at the place where Mrs. Beattie is alleged to have been killed resulted from mur- der committed outside the machine and not in the seat. as Henry alleges.
 What Other Witnesses Told.
 The prosecution has pointed out by witnesses that no blood was found on either running board of the car. and that the dustpan underneath the ear would have caught any blood that triclzled through the front part of the machine, and that all the blood visible had hardened on the floor of the car just beneath the steering wheel.
