BEATTIE CASE
MIR. Owen, Of Dover, Father
Of Slain Girl, Was Opposed
TO Arrest

HOPE In AN APPEAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Sept. 11-There has
been more Beattie case discussion IN
Dover since the verdict and sentence
to death than during the trial. 81
have no opinion whatever to express
about the verdict" declared Robert Y.
Owen, father of Henry c. Beattie's
slain wife, here after reading the en-
tire address of Prosecutor Wenden-
burg as published in the Richmond
newspapers he has received every
night of the trial.
The defendant had a fair trial,
probably before one of the best,
brightest and most humane judges IN
the country Wendenburg and Harry
Smith, the pricipal lawyers in the
case, are two of the most brilliant and
careful men of the South. Nearly
every objection throughout the case
was decided in favor of the defendant.
How he can successfully appeal,
cannot see, though l am sure nothing
will be left undone to save him."
Mr. Owen stated that he and his
brother would not hear to the arrest
of Beattie on Wednesday night, when
it was first proposed. Even on Thurs
day, the Owens rebelled, saying Beat
tie must be connected more closely
with the gun. Finally, the State put
him in custody.
Il had Henry tell me his story,
said Mr.. Owen, ''when l reached my
brother Toms after my all-night ride
from Dover. He told me in the pres
ence of others, practically the same
story as he testified to this week
Nothing questionable struck me ex-
cept once when it flashed through my
mind that It required astonishing
speed to stop and leave that automo-
bile and catch a midnight assailant
with a good start
Henry was not an inebriate. His
closest friends could not account foI
this deed. In fact Wells told him
4 can't believe you did 1t, but If you
did. you ought to be electrOcuted.
