Humors say that an eyewitness to
the crime on Midlothian turnpike had
been found, but detectives who In
vestigated say tho party had passed
the scene of the crime after It was com
mitted. Witnesses, however, have been
found who saw Beattie and his wife
standing In tho road at the scene of
tho crime shortly before it was com
mitted. "Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., Is going ,to
tho electric chair for financing the
murder of his wife. It Is just a ques
tion of how many others he will take
with him." said a detective who has
investigated the murder. "We do not
believe Henry Beattie killed his wife,
but wo do believe he had grown tired
of her and decided to have her slain
by a hired assassin."

time In reading novels and smoking.

death has long since passed, Beulah

story of his connection with tho crime.
Henry Beattie from his cell urges tho
detectives to "pursue their Investiga

MAKES CRIMINAL CHARGES.
Bon of Pioneer Beet Sugar Man
Charges That the Combine's Men
Wrecked His Philadelphia Plant
to Forco Him Out.
New York, July 15. Representative
Malby of tho house committee which
Is investigating the American Sugar
Hcfinlng company asked of Claude Au
gustus Spreckels, son of the pioneer
beet sugar man, a series of questions
which wero evidently intended to be
embarrassing. Tho arm of Congress
man Malby apparently was to show
that the independents, of whom Mr.
Spreclcels has been the most aggres
sive, used methods which were aim
llnr to those of tho trust and that both
were out to get what they could out
of sugar. At one time It was evident
that Chairman nnrdwick of the com
mittee wns not pleased with tho tack
taken by Congressman Malby, ns Mr.
Spreckels had been more or less put
on tho defensive.
Mr. Spreckels first told of how his
company, tho Federal Sugar Refining
company, about a yoar ago shipped
about 40,000 barrels of sugar round
tho Horn to San Francisco, where the
price wns CO per cent higher than the
New York market. William Hans, a
wholesale grocer, offered to buy the
sugar at a quarter of n cent less than
the market, but Mr. Spreckels would
not Bell.''' All the other wholesnle gro
cers, Vho were known as the "Big
Six," wouldn't buy, although Mr.
Spreckels offered to dispose of the car
go at less than the market. Their ex
planation was that Spreckels could
supply sugar to them only spasmodic
ally, and If they bought they might bo
punished by the trust Finding all tho
usual avenues for the disposal of a
sugar cargo closed to him, Spreckels
opened a store and sold tho sugar re
tail. He lost ?7o,000 on the venture,
but he succeeded In dropping the price
of San Francisco sugar.
Mr. Spreckels snld that he considered
the output of tho California refineries
less today than before his father's In
terests had passed to the American
Sugar Refining company.

Mr. Malby brought out that although
tho tariff had been removed there had
been no material dlfferenco In the
price of sugar to tbo consumer. Mr.
Spreckels tried to explain that when
tho tariff was lowered the trust began
to operate. With free trade, Sprockets

was too weak to come to the olty to

the end of tho examination that ho
showed that be was becoming tired.
Mr. Arbuckle was insistent on one
point, the one that was chiefly respon
sible for the congressmen's journey to
his home. It was that tho termination
of his war with Havoxneycr had been
the result of a slowly growing bitter
feeling. It wns not, he emphasized
again and again, the outcome of an
agreement
He repeated that the Sherman anti
trust law was uppermost in his mind
and thnt of Mr. Havemeyor. Ho said
thnt ho cover got down on his knees
to the president of the American Sug

ion the only wny to deal with. Mr.
Havemeyer was to bo "as arbitrary as
he was." And he told a number of
