H. c. BEATT|E, SR.,
OFFERS To ASSIST
MRS. PAUL BEATT|E
Willing to Pay Her Grocery
Bills While Husband
Is in Jail.
By JULIA MURDOCH.
Over Times Leased Wire From Ches-
terfeId Court House.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va, Aug. S.-Although Paul Beattie is
the enemy of his son, although Paul's
testimony is the most damaging against
young Beattie, IL. c. Beattie, ST., has
shown remarkably kind disposition
toward Mrs. Paul Beatde. Not long
ago he sent word that he would gladly
pay Mrs. Pauls grocery bills while her
husband was in jail as witness. Mrs
Paul Beatue appreciated the OFF,
deeply, but declined il because her own
parents are well able TO help ner.
Mr.. Beattie did not make this offer
with any Interior motive. IL was made
long before the news of It leaked out,
and this shows that Mr.. Beattie was
not playing for publicnty and public
appreciation because OF is offer.
Mrs. Beattie says that Paul has al
ways thought well of the accused, and
that 1t panied him greatly to have to
testify against him.
Paul wouldn't have the heart to kill
flea," laughingly said the young wife,
when told that some predicted that he
might become involved as a supposed
accessory of the murder.
He is good. kind husband, and Is
only weak when he comes under the in
fGence Of others. He has always been
accustomed to do errands for Henry,
and, therefore, thought nothing of II
when his cousin asked him to buy the
gun, though l don't think Paul knew
Beulah Binford.
when he wes a little fellow in short
pants he used TO take shoes 10 her,
shoes sent by Harry. My husband is
not twenty one"
Mrs Paul Beattie was asked what
compensation her husband received for
buying the gun which is supposed to
have killed Louise Owen Beattie. She
said he received no compensation, but
kept the change" Henry gave him
IS; the weapon cost about $50 or s.
Later, cents was given Paul for the
purchase Of cartridge. The young
wife denies that Paul. in his excitement
at the Inquest, exclaimed: II don't
want any more money" or rather, she
says he doesn't recall making any such
remark

Rudolph Says Latin Is
Poor on Rome Letter

Those little New England villages
boasting that their mayors had received
letters written in Latin and posted m
Rome can't beat Washington even II
Washington hasn't a mayor.
Such a letter came to Washington,
and Commissioner Rudolph was the re-
cipient He was neither proud Of its
purple linked language nor fearful Of it
as a Black Hand mystery. He COM
mented that It was very poor Latin.
In one corner of the note were the
words, "Mortis perpetuus.' which IS
taken to mean perpetual DEATH" a
pretty tough kind of death. It may be
assumed. Then there is ''Predictio;
''Vos ct vester amicus ct inimicus pereo
ut mortis aeternus,' which Is taken to
mean, You and your friend and your
enemy shall perish IN eternal death"
The letter Is signed "Josafat," and is
sent under the superscriptlon. "Romae
regni sedes mundus." which is suspect
ed of meaning. Rome, the royal seat
Of the world"

The young woman tenderly drew

gressive attitude.

Other mothers might be taken away

WEIRD PROPHECY
IN BEATTE CASE
Old Nanny Had Visions of Young Brides Death and
Told Her of 1t Two Weeks Eefore the
Tragedy.
By JULIA MURDOCH.
Leased Wire From Chesterfield Court House.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE.
Va, Aug. 2s.-The occult and the super
natural have figured largely in the
EeatttD case since that July night when
the lifeless body Of the murdered wife
and mother was brought back to the
home Of her uncls. after the fatal au-
tomobile ride.
There are colored neighbors living In
the vicinity Of the Owen home who now
tell of hearing the bowling of a dog on
the night of the murder.
Il wonder II there are any sick people
in the neighborhood? one woman Is
said to have remarked. "If there Is,
snd whoever it Is. there will certainly
be crepe on the door tomorrow morn
ing"
From far across the hillside the in
sistent bowling Of dog was borne
through the Stillness Of the night air.
It was the long. continued mournful
howl Of the SORT that causes men to
shudder; that makes mothers clasp
their babes more closely to their bosom !;
that makes superstitious colored folk In
this section of ;he couLtry seek out their
favorite charm TO ward off the dread
visitor from heir family and fireside.
Weren't Surprised BY News.
The cry of the dog was taken up by
other dogs. Persons who declare they
speak the truth, say that the night air
was 6lled with weird sounds. When
head lines IN the Richmond morning
newspapers made the astonishing an.
nouncement that a beautiful young wife.
one Of the fairest flowers of virginia
womanhood, had been shot down In
cold blood by a bearded stranger, they
looked at each other, shook their headH
ominously. and said. We are not sur
prised."
There are other people living on the
Midlothian turnpike who tell of a mys-
terious mana stranger whom none Oh
the people in that vicinity can remem-
ber ever having seen before. TINS un,
known man who rode down that road
on the day of the murder, seated on
a white horse The mystery connected
with his unusual appearance-ror eN-
.rybody in this part OF virginia knows
everybody else-makes the most super
stitious among them ask in awed wnls-
pers, Might this strange person nave
been Death. riding his white horse?
The Mammy's Dream.
The morning of the Fourth Of July
Mrs Beatt!e had been aroused early. Her
infant boy slept peacefully at her side'
oblivious Of the din that ACCOMPANIED
the outburst of patriotism OF Rlch,
mond's Juvenile DO; ulation. Her old
NANNY" nurse, ample of person. big
of heart, entered the young mothers
bed chamber early that morning.
Did you all sleep well. honey last
night?"
an replied. How are you feeling this
morning.
Il didn't sleep much. either. Miss
