Augusta, Ca, Sep. 3.-Frederlck
O. Beach will not stand trial at the
September term of the Aiken court
of general sessions on the charge of
assault and battery with intent to
kill his wife, which grew out OF the
sensational assault upon Mrs. Beach
one night last February, when she
was knocked down with fence pal
ing and her throat slashed. The
Beach case has been postponed until
next February.
This action is construed by many
to mean that Beach will never be
brought to trial. In fact, that is
freely predicted. On the other hand,
Mayor Gyles insists that Beach will
be called upon next February to .ex-
plainso of hethings worked up by
Detective Baughn and included in the

that he will assist Mr.. Gunter IN the
