Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, August 12-There Is
an impression that finds considerable
favor with those who have been follow
ing the Beattie case with care that when
the trial begins the defense will make
a determined onslaught on the evidence
charged with the crime. and undertake
to fix the crime on him.
Paul Beattie Is the principal witness
against Henry Clay Beattie. and he it
was who sent word to the police that he
was the man who had bought the gun
which had been found on the roadside
and which Is believed to have been the
one with which the crime was committed.
He adheres to his statement that he
bought the gun for Henry Beattie. and
gives in detail the facts regarding the
purchase Paul Beattie does not seem
to be strong mentally and he collapsed
several times while he was testifying be-
fore the coroner's jury. That the law
yers for the defense will concuse and
muddle him there Is little question. but
he claims he will be able to establish an
alibi as to where he was the night of
the crime.
No Orders for Removal.
Sheriff T. L. Kemp of the Henrico
county jail said today that he had SO
far received no orders for the removal OF
the Beattie prisoners to the Chesterfield
jail and would not surrender them with
out the proper authority. which would
come from Judge Watson of the Chester
field county circuit court.
He said 1t was his opinion that only
Paul Beattie would have to appear be-
fore the grand jury and that the other
prisoners would remain at the Henrico
county jail until the date of the trial
had been definitely set and then that they
would not be removed until a day or two
before the actual beginning of the trial.
He said that as far as he was aware
the prisoners were all entirely satisfied
with the treatment that had been ac-
corded them. and had no desire for q
change, but were pleased with the prepa-
rations Sheriff w. C. Gill of Chesterfield
county was making for their reception.
He declared that all Of the prisoners
were in the best of health and spirits ap-
parently. and looked forward with forti-
tude to the strenuous ordeal they know
they will have to undergo at the coming
trial.

are frantically digging into q mountain
Of coal and rock tonight to reach three
entombed anthracite mine workers who
were caught behind a heavy fall Of roof
at 8 o'clock Friday afternoon in the Bast
colliery near Ashland. When the fall oc-

air instinctively told the miners what
had occurred. and coun, Of the men in
the workings showed that three men
were caught behind the mass of debris.
Scores of mine workers have volunteered
their services as rescuers. The work of

Out Of Work, It Is Said.

Mrs. Frederer is q daughter OF George
r. Blankenship Of Boulevard. Va She Is
a stenographer. but recently she is said
to have been out Of employment. This
fact Is thought to have been responsible
for her dependency. Recently Mrs. Fred
erer's mother and sister visited her. Ar
rangemenrs were made last night to noti-
fy the mother OF her daughters condi-
ton.
Neighbors last night stated that q
young man had called at their house yes

was directed to the rooming house where
she lived. The young man is said to have
remarked that he was anxious to find her,
as he had letter for her which was
important Whether the contents OF the
letter had anything to do with her at
tempt to take her life is not known.
The police say they learned that Mrs
Frederer purchased the carbolic acid
from a drug store several days ago, stat
ing at the time that she intended to use
II as a mouth wash. Policeman Hewlett
made q search of her room after she had
been taken to the hospital. but he found

DESPONDENT WOMAN
TRIES TO END LIFE
Swallows CarboIic Acid, But
Physicians Say She May
Recover.

The fact that she had the 'blues'' was
the reason said to have been given by
Mrs. Evelyn Moseley Frederer. twenty
nine years Of age, who roorned at 1910
10th street northwest, for swallowing a
quantity of carbolic acid yesterday after
noon. Physicians at Emergency Hospital
last night said the woman probably would
recover.

swallowed carbolic acid because she had
the "blues" The bottle containing the
acid was on the washstand.
The Janitress called for assistance. She
then ran to the kitchen and secured .

the fluid down Mrs. Frederer's throat by

Strike Darkened Roads.

Making for the real country" the auto
trucks got Off the hard. tar-coated roads
of the park and struck into the mysteries
of the darkened roads near Kensington.
The moon. which, two nights ago. was as
full as 1t ever gets. was hiding last night.
Consequently the pilot on the first truck
did not know he was heading for a very
soft spot in the road. He realized 1t,
however, when he felt his wheels refus-
ing to move. and In few seconds the
entire cavalcade was mud-bound In tho
dark.
It took some time for the entire party
to realize just what had happened. Not
being used to the country by night. and
being more familiar with the gas-lighted
street corners Of the city. some Of the
children were frightened. The truck driv-
ers were wondering how they were to get
their wheels going again; the children
were wondering why 1t was so dark, and
the older people were wondering about
getting home. Some farmers came to the
assistance of the marooned trucks. and
Mrs Harring decided that 1t was time for
ice cream.

Eat Ice Cream In Dark.

The children clambered Off the trucks
and ate their Ice cream in the darkness
of the woods near Kensington. It was
the ice cream that saved the day from an
utter rout. The children seemed to care
nothing for the trucks and the drivers
as long as the ice cream held out. When
that was gone they made an investiga-
ton and found the useful farmers had
extricated the trucks from the mud and
the party was entirely willing to go back
to the real city.
And yet all had fine time, and there
wasn't one of the party that wouldn't
chance muddy road again. The chill
