Aiken, S. c., Feb. 6.-Frederick o.
Beach, wealthy New Yorker, took the
witness stand this morning in the case
in which he is charged with assault
ing his wife with murderous intent.
Beach did not depart materially
from the story he has told since the
night Mrs. Beach was attacked, that
his wife was struck by negro when
she went outside her cottage with her
dogs.
Mrs. Beach followed her husband on
the stand. She corroborated her hus-
band. She said an unknown negro
attacked her from behind by laying
his hand on her shoulders and forcing
her to her knees. She said she was
too terrified to scream after the negro
struck her with heavy stick on the
side of the head. After she screamed
her husband came running out of the
house and the negro ran. When the
negro walked into the yard, she said
he was twirling heavy stick. She
said he had a message for Katie Smith
She never feared him. Suddenly the
negro sprang at her, knocked her to
her knees and cut her throat. She
and Beach denied that Beach had
sought to have her place the blame on
a negro named Hampton.
