MIlflflB SPUTS‘M flll Bo Witness Upsets the Beattie Murder Trial TESTIMONY A STARTLING SURPRISE the Pmcutlon in Strong Point For the Defense—Has Bearing on Whether Crime Was Committed Inside or Outside the Auto- mobile—Cousin of the Accused Now Confirmed in Jail—Prisoner to Go on the Stand.~ Chesterfield Courthouse, Va., Aug. 29, —An auburn haired boy, talking swift- but clearly, revealed on the witness and today, to the surprise of both| defense and ‘prosccution, in the trial of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.. for wife mur- der, that he had ebserved several blood #pots along Midlothian turnpike where the crime occurred. Hitherto it had been. presumed mo blood spot except one, near the place at which Mrs, Heattie is supposed to have succumb- ed, existed. Must Controvert Boy's Testimony. | Alexander Robertson was the boy, | and what he told the jury in response | to a question of counsei for the de- | fense entirely upset the plan of the commonwealth to rest its case today. Prosecutor Aldenburg announced that it weuld be necessary for him to call | at_least seven or eizht witnesses to| controvert the boy's testimony. On _direct examination by Prosecutor Wendenburg, when the latter was seeking to show where the boy founa a certain yellow hairpin similar to that worn by Mrs. Beattie, Robertson referred to its distance from “the first blood spot.” Two or More Blood Spots. “Were there two blood spots” ask- ed Harry M. Smith, Jr., counsel for the defense, in apparent surprise, and the hoy not only told of a sccond blood spot but of several other smaller spots. near it. The revelation concerninz the pres- ence of more than one blood spot is in line with the contention of the defense that all blood on the road oozed from the ecar in which Henry C. Beattie, Jr.. alleges his wife was. shot. The prosecution’s theory has been that the large blood spot in thé road at the place where Mrs. Beattie is alleged to have been killed resuited from a mur- der committed outside the machine and not in the seat. as Henry alleges. What Other Witnesses Told. The prosecution has pointed out by witnesses that no hlood was found on either running board of the car, and that the dustpan underneath the car would have caught any blood that trickled through the front part of the machine, and that all the blood visible Tiad hardened on the floor of the car jJust bengath the steering wheel. Found a Ha fobertson was summoned as a wit- ness by the prosecution only- for- the purpost of stating that he had found a hairpin, but his testimony as a result of the questions of counsel for the de- fense soon established that he would be an important witness for the de- fense. In the meantime the prosecu- ton will gather over night witnesses to show that many people looked for other blood spots and found none. Proescution Nearly Ready to Rest. The prosecution announced just be- fore adjournment that after the intro- | duetion of several witnesses along this line tomorrow it would rest its case. ‘The Robertson boy, a brother of a reporter on one of the Richmond news- papers, has been employed anout the court room in carrying his brother’s manuscript from the courthouse to a telegraph office nearby, and as he fin- ished in hte witness chair he grabbed several sheets of matter written by his brother about'his own _testimony and dashed to the improvised telegraph offices in & barn about 76 yards away. Court Order for Paul Beattie. Henry C. Beattie, Jr., the accused, and Paul D. Beattls, his cousin, who Yesterdah on the withess stand told of an alleged confession by Henry con- cerning the murdcr. were codfined in separate cells in the Chesterfleld coun- ty jail tonight. Paul hitherto been kept in confinement in Richmond in default of bond, but today, after he finished on the witness stand, Judge ‘Watson suddenly ordereo his retention in jail here. Paul’s Story Not Shaken. Paul Beattie's story of yesterday was not shaken in the cross-examination by counsel for defense, but it became apparent - today that the defense in- tends to refute his testimony by plac- ing on the stand the prisoner himself. As to the Prisoner’s Reputation. Mr. Smith made this announcement casually during the day’s session, when Judge Sandifer,. instead of giving ex- pected testimony for the prosecution, Bave character testimony for the de- fence, and Prosecutor Wendenburg en- tered objection| When Mr. Smith said that he intended to put the prisoner on the stand the court allowed Sandi- fer to proceed with his delineation of Henry C. Beattle, Jr.’s, character and reputation. MERIDEN PHILANTHROPIST LEFT $365,500 IN PUBLIC BEQUESTS $261.000 in His Home Town—$95,000 in Middletown. Meriaen, Conn..

STATE GRANGE INTENDED NO INSULT TO PRESIDENT But Farmers Will Bo Heard from if Reciprocity Passes. ing was Hartford, August 29—A _formal statement made public today by offi- cers of the Connecticut state grange relative to the controversy over the visit of President Taft to the Connec- ticut state fair next week, says that “in_declining to establish a so-called grange day at the fair no insult to President Taft was intended or im- plied,” as we honor the head of the nation as such, regardless of any per- sonal injury he may heve helped in- flict upon the cause of agriculture. If Canada takes favorable action and the reciprocity bill becomes a law, farmers in Connecticut, in common with those of every other northern state, will undoubtedly be heard from in no uncertain manner.
