New York, n Y, Aug. 26.--For the
balance Of his life, owing to the gem
crosby of Andrew Carnegie, Andrew
10th is to live in comparative ease in
his native country, Hungary. 1t was
but a few months ago that 10th was
released from the Pennsylvania peni-
Tertiary after having served twenty
years for a murder which recent evil
dence showed he did not commit. He
sailed on Aug. 20 on board the steamer
Kronprinzessen Cecilia for Hungary
and owing to the pension of $40 per
month given him by Andrew Carnegie,
will be able to live In comparative
ease in the home Of his birth. The
case Of Andrew 10th is one Of the
most unusual In American criminal
annals.
AS q young man he journeyed to
America from Hungary and located
near Pittsburg. Al brutal murder was
committed and circumstantial evidence
pointed strongly to the immigrant,
10th. He was convicted and sentenced
to prison for life. After serving twen-
ty years the confession of the guilty
party freed him and he was given his
liberty and pension by the Pitts
burg philanthropist.

Manchester, NJ Y. Aug. GA car
load OF rough pine boxes was deliver
ed here today and before daylight
the farmers and villagers began cart
ing them to temporary morgue where
lay twenty-five bodies Of those who
where killed yesterday In the wrecked
Lehigh Valley train on the trestle over
Canandaigua creek. These twenty
two with three others in the morgue
at Rochester probably win complete
the list Of the dead unless more deaths
occur among fifty or sixty injured.
1t is now established that the wreck
was caused by a broken rail. Three
cars out Of the train Of fourteen
plunged from the track. The train
was bound from Buffalo to Jersey City
and the majority of those aboard were
on their way to their homes in New
Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.
One woman, now at Thompson Mem

fractured skull and cannot live but so
far as is known the others injured
will recover. This morning eleven Of

Defense Brings Youth Who
Saw Mrs. Beattie to Stand
saw Her ON RUNNING BOARD
PROSECUTION CONTENDS THAT
POOL OF BLOOD NEAR THE
SPOT WHERE AUTO STOPPED is
WHERE MRS. REATTIE WAS
THROWN.

Chesterfield, Va, Aug. 26.-six high
school boys returning from dance at
Bon Air, eleven miles from Richmond,
gave testimony today indicating that
a women, presumably Mrs Henry clay
Beattie. Jr., was standing on thc left
running board of the machine which
they passed and that man erouched
in the front OF the car.
The prosecution endeavored to
shatter in this way, the contention of
Henry c. Beattie, Jr. at the eoroner's
inquest, that Mrs. Beattie was on the
left hand seat when she was killed.
The commonwealth, by its witnesses,
sought to prove that the pool of blood
near the machine marked the spot
where the murdered woman fell from
the automobile and that blood could
not have triclzIed through the bottom
Of the car as the defense has argued.
Incidentally the mornings testimony
of the six boys brought out the fact
that one Of their number, r. B. Adams,
who went alone to dance at Bon Air,
saw a man unaccompanied standing
by the machine near the scene where
the murder was three hours later
committed. This was In line with the
idea of the commonwealth that Beattie
placed the gun in the bushes nearby
so that 1t would be available when
he was ready for the deed Of which
he stands accused.
H. M. Smith, jr., chief counsel for
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., made hur-
ried trip last night to the scene Of
the murder of Louise Owen Beattie
on Midlothian turnpike with the view
to taking measurements to rebute the
testimony of the witnesses who told
yesterday of hearing a woman's
scream, the starting Of an automobile
and a gun shot without having heard
a mans cries or the footing OF a
motor car horn.
The defense contends that Mrs.
Beattie was shot not by the defend
ant, but by an unknown man in the
road and has sought to support Beat
ties story that he called for aid and
sounded his horn.
The commonwealth planned today
to take up the testimony where 1t was
cut short at the adjournment yes
terday and bring on the stand sew
eral companions of A. X. Briggs, the
15-year- old Richmond boy who swore
that he and several others In an au-
tomobiIe in returning 70 Richmond,
saw a man and woman in an auto
mobile not far from the scene half
an hour or so before the shot which
killed Louise owen Beattie was fired.
Young Briggs was not asked yester-
day to identity Beattie as the man he
saw but the prosecution promised to
bring on his companion further to ex-
plain the incident
