DR.. Lee Condemns
GriIling Methods
, Used In Beattie Case

GrilIing methods which the prosecu-
ton in the Beattie case have employed
in cross-questioning Henry Clay Beat
tie, jr., over his lapse of memory for
details and over his evident nervous
ness when asked to put on the clothes,
stained with the blood of his wife, were
made the subject Of criticism this morn
tng by DR.. T. L. Lee, of 1920 NJ street
northwest. DR.. Lee, from a physician S
standpoint, declares that Beattie is not
getting a fair show.
II want to say a word for the un-
der dog" he said when he called at
The Times this morning. From the
standpoint of a physician, 1 want to
say that a lapse of memory for minor
details may be as evident, or more evil
dent, in an innocent man as in one
guilty of crime, and l also wish to say
that whether a man be innocent OF
guilty to ask him to dress in blood
stained garments so closely connected
with his life tragedy would throw many
into a nervousness which, in fairness
could not be argued to prove guilt, but
on the contrary, is more likely to oc-
cur in the case Of an innocent man.

snot that versatility which is the

There are, however, various branches
which demand sub-stratum of spe-

Babies are not learned out of books,
but in the dead watches. They are ex-
perience, not erudition. They can not
be fed, handled, slept, nor tended after
rote. 1t is the superiority of the calf

desperate parent. To send childless
