HOUSE, Va. Sept. 2.-Charles Fl.
Kastelburg. a rich meat dealer of
Richmond. today gave strong sup
port to Henry ,Beattie's story of
the murder of his wife, for which
the young banker Is on trial here.
Kastelburg on the stand admitted
driving his automobile along the
Midlothian turnpike on the night
of the murder. He stopped at
the scene of crime or nearby and
refilled his radiator. while Rich
mond woman accompanying him
stood on the running board. The
fact that his car stopped there is
expected by the defense to refute
testimony that Beattie's automo-
bile had stopped at the scene of
the crime before the killing.

Recent Letter on Prohibition Repro duced By Courier Journal

The recent letter of Commissloner Names Weatherly on the prohibition ques- tion has been received with widespread snterest. In the Louisville Courier Jour nal for August the letter was repro ,duced as it appeared in the local papers and in commenting editorially as to the sentiments of the letter the paper says E "As an aftermath to the disastrous eX- nerience they had with two, or three wears of prohibition in Alabama, the city Inf Birmingham is in the throes of To- cal campaign touching license or no H. cense. The 4Age-Herald comes to us with n letter from MT. Commissioner James Weatherly, who knows much abou, the practical working of the prohibition Ifarce as any man in the state. He is a citizen and official of the very highest character. The Courier-Journal repro duces this letter elsewhere in it's present Issue. We have not in Kentucky got along as far as prohibtion-'nor yet but, as we are very seriously threatened, each and every thoughtful Kentuckan should read, mark and inwardly digest khe truths set forth so wildly by MT. Weatherly."
