Mystery of a
 i Man in Cray 7
MAY BE SOLVED AT TRIAL OF
 F. o. BEACH.
ATTACK ON HIS WIFE
Beach Accused of Intent to Kill Her Mrs. Beach Says She Was Not At tackled by Husband But by Negro.

Aiken, $. C.. Feb. 3.-Frederick o. Beach, prominent New Yorker, will be placed on trial here tomorrow charged with assault and battery with intent to kill his wife, Camilla Morne Have meyer Beach. Mrs. Beach is expected to be the principal witness for the de- fense, for she has steadfastly main ta1ned she was not attacked by her nusband Prospects were tonight that the trial would consume not more than two days.
 Large Array of Legal Talent.
 Prosecutor R. l. Gunter declared to- night he had a prima facie case against Beach, but the large array of legal talent which the latter has mus tered in defense express confidence in their ability to establish Beach's fn- nocence. Among the eight witnesses summoned by the prosecution is said to be an unnamed mysterious person who is reported to have overheard a conversation between, Beach and his wife in the mayors office just before Beach was arrested.
 Three Witnesses for Defense.
 As far as is known only three wit nesses will be put on the stand by the defense. Mrs. Beach probably will be the first, Miss Marion Rollins of New York, who was a guest at the Beach home here the night of the assault, is expected to be a. witness, and Beach probably will take the stand himself.
 Another Man involved.
 The assault on Mrs. Beach was com mitted on the night of Feb. 26 last. Someone struck her on the head with a heavy instrument and inflicted jagged gaSh in her throat, apparently with a pocket knife. Beach was ar rested April 8. charged with assault, the police contending he had attacked his wife near the Beach winter home after he had failed to catch "a white man in a gray suit'' who fled at his approach.
 Saw Man in Gray"
 Even though Mrs. Beach maintained she had been attacked by a negro whose motive was robbery, city au- thorities employed detective to work up the case and Beach was indicted
 Prosecutor Gunter today took by consent the testimony of Miss Lelah Wyman, who is too i'll to appear as d witness. Miss Wyman, the daughter of physician who lives directly across the street from the Beach home, is alleged to have seen the man in gray running away from the scene about the time of the assault.

MORE POLITICS THAN
 BUSINESS AT CAPITOL.
Deals and Rumors of Deals Between
 the Two Parties.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Hartford, Feb. 3.-It is believed that committee hearings will be commenced this week at the state capitol and that there will be a start made in the trans action Of public business. which will be in marked contrast to the three weeks previous since the opening ses- sion of the legislature. The commit tees are now all organized and many of them have had business referred for action and report. Just at present the session indicates that it is to be more of a political than business gath ering, but this may be all changed, for happens fin the legislature. There are deals and runorS of deals between, both parties owing to the political status, the house being republican by a bare majority and the senate demo- cratic, but divided.
 There Is in circula ton in the state capitol during the legislative recess a matter of importance that has as sumed proportions greater than a ru- mor. It is said that there is desire for a get-together spirit in the matter of minor judgeships and county commits sioners, the legislators realizing that unless something in this line is effect ed there will be disagreefng action and the appointments be eventually made by the democratic governor.
 According to report, the republican steering committee of the house made proposition to the democratic caucus
 
 that the republicans be allowed to name city judges and assistants and the county commissioners for two counties.
 This was met by counter propo- sition from the democratic senators that the republicans be permitted to select these officials for one county. Neither proposition was formally ac- cepted but the counter proposition may be acceptable to the republicans. as they have that much to gain and nothing to lose.
 It is understood that if this deal goes through the republicans will se- Iect for New London or Windham county, presumably the latter. In that event it would put Lewis out of the running for county commissioner and Harry Mann as judge of the city court of Putnam.
 Should New London county be se- 1ected, it would mean that there would be no contest between Lanphear, Mclaughlin. Manwaring, Murray, Craney, Hanon and others for the county commissionership, that Nathan Belcher would not succeed Judge Will liam B. Colt of New London, Charles Hickey would not succeed Philip Han key as assistant, and William Connor would have no show to succeed Daniel Cronin prosecuting attorney.
