| The Bearded Man. story.
| Testimony corroborative of the story
| told by Henry Clay Beattie jr, that
bearded highwayman killed his wife
with shotgun, was introduced by the
defence yesterday when W. r Hol-
! land. who lives in the vicinity OF the
midlothian turnpike where the murder
occurred. declared he had seen a
bearded man with a shotgun there
about five hours before the tragedy.
1t is reported that the prosecution is
ready when its time for rebuttaI ar
rives, to put on the stand the man
who passed along the railroad atracks
where Holland said he saw a man with
a shotgun and that the new witness
will say he was squirrel hunting that
day.
The defence summoned many Wit
nesses. Besides the testimony regard
ing the bearded man, expert testimony
was introduced as to the bouncing
qualities of an automobile similar to
that driven by Beattie thereby ac-
counting for the jolting out of the car
OF the shotgun placed in rear seat by
BeattieA after the encounter with the
alleged highwayman.
The prosecution attacked this line
OF evidence on cross examination 1t
contended that the railroad crossing
where Beattie claims the gun must
have been jolted out of the car. was
smooth one and that the jolt which
might have resulted from crossing the
tracks where the rails are exposed
necessarily would have tossed the
weapon forward of the crossing In
stead of directly sideways parallel with
the track where the gun was found
The idea of the prosecution has been
to Indicate that Beattie himself slowed
down at the crossing and threw the
gun TO one side on his way to the
Owen home with his dead wife.
Other "HoIdups..
The defence sought 20 show that be-
ing held up by highwayment while
motoring in this vicinity was not an
uncommon occurrence and put on the
stand a chauffeur who related an ex-
perience with a highwayman a year
ago. The commonwealth attorneys OBJ
jected to the testimony as Irrelevant.
Judge Watson ruled that unless a
great many instances could be pointed
out, evidence as to a single incident
of the kind would be ruled out. The
defence announced that it intended
to give other instances later
Beattfe's counsel attacked the de-
claration of Sam Talley that he heard |
on the night of the murder a shot and
the screams Of a woman on the Mid !
lothian turnpike. Several witnesses
testified that the morning after the |
murder when Beattie talked with Tai !
ley and others. nothing was said about |
a woman screaming.
A "Crazy- Witness.
An amusing incident occurred when /
the defence put on the stand William :
Pemberton, a man of As years of age,
to attack the truthfulness and char /
acter Of Talley. Pembertons own
mentality was questioned by prosecu- /
tor Wendenburg
"Are you right in your mind?' asked |
the prosecutor.
What do you mean; am I crazyT"
Pemberton asked
well. no." |

PROPOSED LEASE OF CITY
PROPERTY CRITICISED
Complaint Made That Terms

The councils action in offering TO
lease TO Grace hospital. the city 5 prop
erty in the rear OF taat institution, for
81 per year, was the occasion OF no
little comment around the city hail.
Wednesday, and it was rumored that
the mayor would veto the proposition.
Mayor Thompson would not say
what course he would take. lie did
say, however, that he did not believe
the city should give any property
away and the opinion is entertained
in some quarters that the councils
action practically amounts 10 that.
The resolution passed Tuesday night
IN the recommendation of the com
mittee on ways and means, fixes the
term OF the lease at so years.
III the hospital wants TO build on
the property, that's a different propo-
sition from merely using il for add
tionaI grounds. and | shall weigh the
matter carefully" said the mayor.
The city paid $4,000 for the land
several years ago. when II was pro
posed to erect a high school on that
site. The trustees of Grace hospital
recently offered to buy half the prop
erty for additional buildings for Sl2,-
Gee. but the offer Was turned down
Now the council practically makes
the hospital a present Of it, with no
restriction as TO how it shall be used
except that il must be devoted TO hos

that the only way 10 satisfactorily
dispose OF the garbage is TO have the

I'VE certainly have had enough eX-
perience with the contract system OF

mayor THE present company has
not lived up to its contract i'm the
matter Of building receiving stations,
ana the city will continue to have
trouble as long as IL leaves the dis;

II believe the trip planned by the

A TIMELY WARNING.
Lee VS.. German.

From ga, BALTIC. Suns Editorial Aug. g3l.
If Blair Lee should be nominated
by the Democrats Of Maryland next
Tuesday the rising of tomorrow's
sun is hardly more certain than that
ne will be our next Governor. There
is not politician. Republican or
Democrat, who doubts it, His nomi-
nation would be followed by a Repub-
lican campaign Of the most perfume
tory character. There would be no
fight ON him at all among regular or
independent Democrats. He would be
elected boy such figures as have been
unknown and unhoped tor since 1895.
His election would be accepted in
Maryland and throughout the country
as a triumph for progressive Democ-
racy and would Immediately put his
State in the forefront of the great
movement which is expected to reach
n climax next year in the election of
"a Democratic President
The nomination of Senator Arthur
=. German would be followed by hot
fight, the result of which would be
doubtful While there is no question
as to Mr.. Germans personal honesty.
large section of the Democratic pub
lie is opposed to him on the ground
that he is a machine man and reac-
tionary and for that reason was fav-
ored by Boss Mahon and accepted by
Senator Smith. They object to the
things in German that Mahon likes
and they object to Mahon. They are
alarmed at the growing power Of the
city ring and offended at the audacity
with which it is reaching out for
everything in sight We should be
gratitied at the nomination of Senator
Lee and work to roll up the biggest
possible Democratic majority. . i.
After giving its attitude under the
condition of affairs. The Sun concludes
as follows:
In the meantime. all Democrats
who want to make victory a sure thing
and who want to see Maryland march
ing under the flag of the progress
sive Democracy. should vote for Blair
Lee.
If the party does not take heed to
the warning here given by so influen-
tial a journal as The Sun. then it must
take the consequences.
