BEACH DECLARED NOT GUILTY.
Aiken Jury Frees Man Charged With
Assaulting Wife.

Aiken, Feb. 7.-F. o. Beach was
acquitted this afternoon in the Aiken
county court Of the charge Of assault
ing his wife. The jury was out eX-
actly one hour and forty-fve MN
utes.
Mr.. Beach was not in the court
room when the verdict was read, hav-
ing gone to lunch during the recess
of court, but he arrived a few min
utes later and at once went to the
jury box and shook hands with mem
bers OF the jury.
There was absolutely nothing to
the case" the fore nan told Mr..
Beach. "There was too much Wat
So and not enough 'Sherlocko.'
Beach laughed gleefully and slap
ped the foreman on the back. Mrs.
Beach did not return to the court
room.
The foreman explained that the de-
lay in reaching a verdict was due to
the fact that one or two jurors want
ed to discuss everything under the
sun except the case"
Mr.. Beach shook hands with the
Judge, donned his great fur coat and
went to join Mrs. Beach at the hotel.
There was no demonstration OF any
kind when the verdict was rendered.
Fridays Proceedings.
Aiken society turned out on the
last day Of the Beach trial. Mrs.
Beach was attired in her usual brown
dress and sat beside her husband.
The case opened at 9.55 o'clock.
Congressman Byrnes first address
ed the jury for the defense. He con-
tended that the prosecution had fail
ed to produce any evidence to con-
meet Beach with the assault. AS he
spoke Mrs. Beach appeared weary for
the first time during the trial. Rest
ing her chin upon a gloved hand, she
gazed at the lawyer through tired
eyes.
Mr.. Byrnes spoke for half an hour
and then yielded the remainder of
his time to Judge w. Q. Davis, Of
defense's counsel, who made an elo-
quent appeal to the jury in behalf Of
Beach. Col. d. S. Henderson closed
for the defense.
He began by reading to the court
the instructions he asked to be in
cluded in the judges charge to the
jury.
What motive did Beach have for
cutting his wife?" asked Col. Hen

GRAFT IN D1spENsARY WORK.

Columbia, Feb. -" your commit

other testimony along the same line
taken in Columbia we are convinced
that regular system OF graft exists
and has existed for years In that city
in connection with the work of the
dispensary constables," says the COM
mittee appointed at the last General
Assembly to Investigate the charges
made by Governor Blease against the
Ansel winding up commission and
former Attorney General Lyon, In
their report filed with the Senate

the journal.
The majority report is signed by

it, and the one who was assaulted
has told you that he didn't do it.
Would you convict yellow dog or
anything on the evidence that has
been offered against Beach here?"
Col Henderson concluded shortly
before noon and after a short recess
Prosecutor Gunter began his closing
argument
Story Made by Beach.
The prosecution attacked the story
told by Mrs. Beach, termng it a
"mere fabrication, no more and no
less" He said it was absurd for her
to claim that the alleged negro assail-
ant had forced her to the ground
with his two hands and afterwards
hit her in the head with a stick that
she said he was carrying when he en-
tered the yard.
Mrs. Beach never told how she
got around the corner OF the house
where her earrings and combs were
found" declared the solicitor.
She claims to have been forced to
her knees on the front walk. Then
again Mrs. Beach says she did not
scream until after the negro had cut
her. Don't you know that she
screamed, and kept screaming the
minute her assailant struck her. who
ever it was? All that story was made
etn, a.
GRATED by Mrs. Beach for his protec-
ton"
Goes to tho Jury.
After the prosecution closed the
case was given to the jury at ia p.
m. After the jury had been out for
thirty minutes without returning
verdict, Judge Spain adjourned court
until 8 o'clock.
After the jury had been out an
hour this afternoon three raps were
heard on the door Of the Jury room.
The jurors were not ready to report,
however, but had merely sent out for
ice water.
Court was in recess at the time
and the verdict could not be an
nounced, even if reached, before 3
O'Clock. Beach and his wife went to
dinner, but one or two Of the LAWYERS
for the defense remained in the court
room.
The judges charge simply was a
recital of the law bearing on assault
and battery with intent TO kill" and
circumstantial evidence. The court
was careful to caution the jury that
a verdict Of guilty should not be
found as long as a reasonable doubt
of the defendants guilt existed in
their minds.

FIFTY KILLED

Baltimore, March 8.-With a
terrific roar and the spouting OF
great columns of flames, a large
quantity of dynamite exploded on
a freighter in. the lower harbor
this forenoon. It resulted in the
death of least fifty persons and
the serious injury Of scores of
others. Forty stevedores were
missing, but it is thought possi-
BILE that some escaped. The
dynamite was loaded on the tramp
steamer Alum Chine for the Pan
anna canal. The vessel was de-
molished and the upper structure
of the United States collier ia
son, was wiped off and her side
riddled.
