PROBE
LYNCHING
Grand Jury Deep In Coates
ville Outrage.
CALLS MEN IN MOB COWARDS.
Judge Instructs Jurymen to Conduct
Secret Investigation and to Let Noth
ing Go Undone to Bring Guilty
Persons to Justice.
West Chester, Fa., Aug. 20. The
cases of the alleged members of the
mob which lynched Zack Walker at
Coatesvllle on Aug. 13 are now before
the grand Jury of Chester county,
which will hear the testimony and fix
the grade of the crimes of the eight
men arrested, holding a star chamber
session for that purpose.
In his charge after the opening of
ctfurt Judge William Butler told the
grand Jury In the usual manner of Its
duty and then took up the matter of
the lynching at Coatesvllle, which he
characterized as a disgrace upon the
town, the county, the state and the
nation.
Judge Butler asked that the Jury
make a complete Investigation, even
if It was renilred to summon every
citizen of Coatesvllle In the Investiga
tion, and to finally make its report to
the court, without fear or favor, prom
ising all the support in the power of
the authorities.
The Jury is not likely to file a report
until late in the week, being engaged
in cases on the list which must be re
ported in order to occupy the time of
the two rooms of the court. The jury
is expected to summon before it many
witnesses in addition to those already
secured by the commonwealth officers
ns the investigation proceeds.
It Is known that the district attor
ney, Ilobort S. Gawthrop, aud the po-
lice officers have the names of a bun-
dred of the men who cither took an
active part or have knowledge of the
lynching, and the court is determined
that every detail must be Investigated.
"It Is enough," said Judge Butler,
"that the man was burned, and every
man who v;as present was guilty of
murder, as were all those who assisted
in the plunulng of the horrible cffalr
or were even in the mob or approved
it in any manner.
"Men who look pnrt were more cow
ardly thou wolves," said the court,
"and more devilish than ftcuds when
they tortured the man as they did.
They even Invaded the sanctity of a
hospital to carry out their purpose,
and no words can express the feeling
of any man in his senses who does not
rebel at the thought.
"The man who planned the affair
must and will be apprehended if pos
sible by all the forces of the law, and
I ask you to Investigate. We must all
do our duty to wipe out the stain
upon the community nnd will not rest
a hand until all who even took part
feel the majesty of the law."

TELLS OF
MURDER
Beattie's Cousin Builds Up
Gase of Prosecution.
A PRACTICAL CONFESSION.
Evidence of Most Damaging Sort
Given by Paul Beattle Defense Is
Taken by Surprise at Startling
Statements of the Witness.
Chesterfield Court House, Va., Aug.
20. Paul Beattle was on the witness
stand, called by the attorneys for the
commonwealth to give testimony
against his first cousin, Henry C. Beat
tie, Jr., on trial for wife murder. Louis
Wendenburg, commonwealth's prosoca
tor, addressed a question to him:
"When you saw Henry that second
day after the murder of Mrs. Beattle
had been committed, what did he say
to you, If anyttilng?"
"The next day I saw Henry," the
young man answered slowly, "he was
sitting on the back porch drinking a
bottle of beer. I told him things looked
black and I was sorry for him.
"'I wish to God I hadn't done it,
Paul,' he said, Vthough I know she
never loved me and she married me
only for my money.
" 'I'd give a million dollars to have
this thing undone. I wonder how those
detectives found out there was No. 0
shot In that gun.' "
The words of the witness trailed off
into silence. Then over the packed
heads in the little courtroom there
passed a quick lntaklng of breath.
Henry CJ. Beattle, Jr., had been listen
ing to the previous preliminary testi
mony of his cousin with the flicker of
a tolerant smllo about the corners of
his mouth. When this speech was
given his eyes suddenly dilated so that
all the white showed, his fingers curled
and the nails bit into the palms of his
hands.
,It was evident that neither tho boy's
father nor his two lawyers bad expect
ed anything like this straight drive
from tho Hps of Paul. A fair guess
would have It that the accused man
least of all expected it
"And now go on," tho voice of the
commonwealth's prosecutor broke the
tense silence In tho courtroom. "What
else did ho say to you at that time?"
"I said to him. 'I'm sorry 'you got me
Into this business, Henry.' no an
swered quickly, 'You're not In half as
bad a fix as I am,' and then when I
started to go away he grabbed me and
spoke to roe hurriedly. 'Paul,' he said,
'I want you to stick by me. Yon will
never regret It You would not go
back on me, would you? You keep
your mouth shut about all this and
stick by me.' Then I said to him: 1
won't stick anywhere. If they come
after me Til tell them all I know.' "
By these words the commonwealth's
nttorneys drove Into a case that had
been purely one of circumstantial evi
dence a tremendous lever of fact, a
practical confession.
When tho name of tho cousin wbb
called tho whole courtroom rustled
with expectancy. Men who had been
standing banked in sweltering rows
along tho walls caught a new grip on
fatigue and pricked their ears. A
bench outsldo one of the windows upon
which half a dozen spectators had boon
finding foothold crashed under their
stirring. Paul Beattle pushed his way
through the crowd nt tho door and took
tho stand.
Paul went on to detail how ho had
gono to the pawnshop and had picked
out tho shotgun.
"When did you hear that tho mur
der had been committed?"
"The next day."
"Did you seo Henry Beattle that
day?"
"I went over there to seo him. Ho
was standing with his father. When
his father walked away, Henry said:
'I want you to do a favor for mo. Go
to this nddress anc ask for Mrs. Ford.
When you seo her, gtvo her this mes
sage, "Tell Bculah Blnford If she
opens her mouth about this thing I
will kill her If It takes mo n hundred
years to do it" ' "
This was the first Intimation the
prisoner had of the full blow that
Paul was to deliver. Before ho could
collect himself to withstand the shock
tho full revelation came tumbling
forth.
"I went to that address, and when I
told Beulah Blnford tho message
Henry bad given mo she smiled and
said, 'Now I reckon Henry will marry
me when this Is all over.' "
This Innudlblo testimony was in the
ears of tho Jurors before tho Judge
COv "(top it
Attorney Smith, for tho defense,
wanted to know when it was that he
hud first spoken to any ono about the
secret that he kuew. Ho answered
that it was two nights after the mur
der, when he told his wife. His wife
had urged him to tell all he knew; It
was his duty to tho state, she had said.
This blasting shock delivered by
Paul was tho second and most severe
of two which the thin lipped prisoner
had to undergo. As unexpected as the
revelation ho gave was tho appearance
on tho witness stand of Mrs. Robert
V. Owen of Dover, Del., tho mother of
the murdered Mrs. Beattle.

New York, Aug. 29. A young wom
an went to a lawyer In tills city the
other day and told him that because
her dead husband had Induced hor to
listen to n secret which he said was
slowly killing him and becauso she
agreed to hear It, though he Imposed
the condition that they die Immediate
ly afterward, her sisters-in-law In the
City of Mexico refused to let her have
tho property that ho left, amounting to
about $100,000.
She said that she had never told the
secret nnd that she never would. The
lawyer has learned that last winter,
when she was in tho J. Hood Wright
hospital recovering from the wounds
Inflicted by her husband upon her and
upon himself, from which he died, she
refused to submit to nn operation for
blood poisoning because she was afraid

woman who lived when her husband,
Raoul Torrea, 'died. Sho enmo from
Naumberg, Germany, a few months
beforo she mot tho young Mexican in
New York. They went to the city hall
on Oct 17, 1910, got a license nnd had
an alderman marry them.
Less than an hour after they left the
city hall he told her, that he had been
carrying something on his mind which
was too much for him to bear. He
said that this secret oppressed him bo
.constantly that life was impossible.
For a few days ho said no more nbout
his secret Then he told her he had
decided she must know, but there was
only one way sho could know. If they
both died he could bo sure that no ono
would ever know It Ho couldn't die
with the thought that his secret would
live nfter him. Would sho be willing
to agree that they commit suicide?
Ills influence upon hor was so great
that beforo two weeks elapsed after
their marriage sho agreed to do as he
wished. Ono afternoon In November
ho turned on the gas and went to bed.
Consciousness was leaving her when
sho heard footsteps in tho hullway out
side. Her husband sat hp. The odor
must have leaked under tho door, ho
said. Ho Jumped up and ran to an
other room. Presently lie came back
with a razor. With It he slashed her
right wrlat Sho remembers faintly
seeing him hacking nt his own wrists.
She was in the hospital when sho be
came conscious. Neighbors had brought
tho police too late to save her hu

Since she got out of the hospital
Mrs. Torrea has filed letters of admin

that about $100,000 of this was to go

Among those who attended tho
meeting In official and unofficial
capacities were the following:

J. Cosgriff, New Mllford; J. E. Haw

Clerk George P. Ross.
Clinton township supervisors:
David Hopkins, president, Aldenvllle;
Charles Wllmarth, secretary, Alden
vllle; J. B. Varcoe, Waymart.
Thero has been an agreement be
tween tho two counties In the mat
ter of building this long-needed
bridge. The understanding is that
each party to the contract handle
their own money.
In the course of the hearing, W.
J. Maxey, Esq., Forest City, solicitor,
said: "I think everything is agreed
upon. It's up to tho county commis
sioners to make their measurements
and let tho contracts. The borough
council AV1U meet next Monday
night, and will pass the bridge ordi
nance." One of the county commissioners
thought that tho bridge would have
to be advertised. Another man re
marked that a county bridge costing
over $250, couldn't be built unless
advertised.
"We have had no experience with
two-county bridges," said Commis
sioners' Clerk George P. Ross. "Of
course It's been our practice In cases
of emergency to advertise one week.
One of the commissioners thought
this would be a short notice to give
a contractor to figure on an ?S,000
or a 51U.UUU JOD.
Supervisor Wilwarth stated that
so far as the supervisors were con
cerned, the papers were all signed
up with one exception. The bridge
was tied up with the supervisors
who would not sign up with a tram
road, as they thought a tram road
in the road would be a nuisance,
"I think the supervisors ought to
have a little credit, laughingly re
marked Mr. Wilwarth, "say half an
Inch. We ve got it all fixed up now
The contract, It was stated by one
of the lawyers present, was legal.
He said that It was better to have the
road with four or five tram roads In
It, than not to have It.
The meeting was opened by a
political announcement of consider
able Interest made by the chairman I
of the meeting. "It's all Homer
Greene," ho said. "Wayno County
Is unanimous for Homer Greene for
Congress!"
One of tho candidates for a county
office made good uso of his political
opportunities by passing around a
boxof good cigars.
The cnairman ot tne meeting
featured the session by exhibiting a
traded umbrella.
"Somebody was in my office and
carried mine off," laughingly ex
plained this zealous Wayno coupty
politician, as he opened the exchang
ed rain protector and exhibited It to
the audience.
One of the Susquehanna men camo
forward and, claimed the umbrella,
and explained that he had made tho
exchange In the lawyer's back of
fice. "Mine Isn't much of an umbrella,"
protested the politician, "hut they're
handy on rainy days."
" Every man wants to hang onto
his umbrella," chimed In another
man In the audience. "It's raining
hailstones and pitchforks."

memory of that lucky Friday morn
