DEFENSE BEGINS.
Witness Tells of Armed Man
Night, of Murder.
CONFIRMS BEATTIE'S STORY.
Stranger Carrying Shotgun Seen by
Quarryman Tallies With Prisoner's
Description of Slayer of His Wife
on Turnpike Near Richmond.
Chesterfield Court House, Vn., Aug.
81. The grave business of Henry
Clay Beattle's defense against the
charge of wife murder commenced
after the commonwealth's lawyers
had rested their case.
Before his lawyer, Harry Smith, Jr.,
had been long at work on the build
ing of combative ovidenco against the
serious case mado out against the
young man by the prosecution, bo had
introduced a witness who swore that
on the evening of the day when Mrsj
Bcattlo was murdered on Midlothian
turnpike, be had seen a rough looking
man following In a vague way the de
scription of Mrs. Beattle's assailant,
as the prisoner himself has given It,
who was walking along tho tracks ol
the Southern railroad, three miles
away from the scene of the homicide,
with a single barreled shotgun over
his shoulder.
No further tstlmony tending to trace
the movements of this armed man
from 5:30, tho hour when the witness
saw him, up to near 11 o'clock, when
Mrs. Benttio was fired upon, had been
entered. Another witness, who seem
ed to be very vague ns to his facts,
had taken tho stand to testify to hav
ing seen an unusual looking man on
the turnpike on three separate oc
casions before July 18, the day of the
"murder, but that was as far as ho
went.
So far as Beattle's defense revealed
itself, it was shown that no attempt
will be made to dodge the story which
tho prisoner has told of his wife hav
ing been slain by the charge of a
single barreled shotgun, fired nt o
range of about six feet by n man un
known to Beattle. There was no bint
given of a possible defense of Insanity,
which had been rumored during tho
early days of the case; no attempt to
establish the ground for n verdict of
involuntnry manslaughter through tho
mishandling of tho gun In Beattle's
own hands.
W. B. Holland was tho witness who
laid the chief foundation in defenso
of Beattle's story of the murder of his
wife'
Holland Is employed In tho quarries
along tho James river by the tracks
of the Southern railroad. Ho gavo
his direct testimony ' in n simple,
straightforward manner, vlth no In
dications of eagerness to bo of assist
ance to the whito faced youth behind
tho rail so badly in need of assistance
nt this time.
Holland's story was thut between
530 nnd 0 o'clock on July 18 he bad
seen a man who was a stranger to
him walking along tho tracks in the
direction of tho crossing with the Mid
lothian turnpike. He carried a slijglo
barreled shotgun over hl3 shoulders
a circumstance that struck tho witness
as unusual because all game Irws are
In force at this season. Ho was about
thirty-eight years old, ho said, nearly
six feet tall, as ho remembered, and
had a week's growth of sandy beard
on his face.
Tho other witness who backed up
the mysterious stranger lino of testi
mony was Eugene Henshaw, a milk
man, who lives on tho turnpike sev
eral miles from tho place where tho
homicide was committed. Henshaw,
who is a Mormon nnd who, becnuso of
that fact more or less a self appoint
ed hermit among tho folk of Chester
field, did not ndd great weight to the
defense. All that ho could say defi
nitely was that on three different oc
casions In the week preceding that in
which Mrs. Beattle lost her life, he
had seen a wild looking man who act
ed like a lunatic, cither walking along
tho Midlothian turnpike or sitting by
tho side of the road. The man carried
no gun.
Before Attorney Smith had proceed
ed far in tho defense, ho raised an
issuo which was hotly contested by
Louis Wendcnburg, tho common
wealth's prosecutor, and finally com
promised by Judge Watson. Smith
put Herbert Richardson, chauffeur, on
tho stand nnd was asking him to de
tail the circumstances of a holdup by
an armed man, which he had experi
enced on Petersburg turnpike, ten
miles from Richmond, a year ago.
Wcndouburg instantly objected.
Judge Watson ruled that Mr. Smith
could iutroduco enough evidence to es
tablish the fact that tho highways in
Chesterfield county were actually ren
dered dangerous by tho prevalence of
an nntiautomobile mania, nnd he would
allow this evidence to go before tho
jury, otherwise it would bo stricken
out of tho records.

WELLS OUTPOINTS BROWN.
Briton Proves Himself Master of
American Boxer.
New York, Aug. 31. In the presence
of more than 12,000 sictators Matt
Wells, England's lightweight cham
pion, made a show of Knockout
Brown of this city in the much talked
of ton round glove lmttlo in the Madi
son Square Garden. Referee Charley
White was unable to render a decision
because of the restrictions of the state
boxing commission, but if ho had en
Joyed such n privilege his task would
have been easy.
Wells was the class. These few
words tell the story of Brown's de
feat. The Englishman knew too much
for the East Side Dutchman, nnd
quickly showed it In the first round.
Brown's nttack, which was incessant
thougli ineffective, was met with con
summate skill. Wells made use of the
twenty-four foot ring by employing
footwork that puzzled tho New Yorker.
The Briton knew how to duck or side
step the fumous left hand wallop upon
which Brown depended, and then
coming back swiftly ho shot in cutting
blows that in the course of time drew
blood from Brown's nose nnd mouth
nnd almost closed his right eyo. Wells'
generalship was superb. In short.
Wells was the master at scientific box
ing nnd nt hard, accurate hitting. He
did not appear to be a bit weakened by
tho weight, 133 pounds, and was very
strong all tho way to the finish.
Tho receipts will amount to more
than $30,000, it was said, of which
Brown will receive about $0,000 nnd
Wells $5,000.

Easton Girl Denies Writing
Improper Letters.
TO BE ARRAIGNED TOMORROW.
Miss Harriet De Witt Tells of Similar
Charges Being Brought Against Oth
er Women and Intimates That
Minister Can Unravel Mystery.
Easton, Pa., Aug. 31. Miss Harriet
De Witt, daughter of George Do Witt,
a wealthy resident of Easton, declared
that she was innocent of tho charge of
having sent Improper letters through
tho mails to a hundred leading persons
of this city. She Insisted that when
she is arraigned tomorrow before
United States Commissioner Turner
there will be no evidence whatever
ngninst her.
Following her arrest Tuesday, after
nn investigation by Postolllce In
spector Shaneberger, she was advised
to make no public statement, but to a
correspondent she said:
"All I have to say at this time is that
I am not guilty. Of course it makes
me feel bad to have such accusations
made, and I regret exceedingly the
publicity that has come to our home.
"I have been told thnt three or four
women were accused of writing these
letters before my name was mentioned.
Ono woman who is now dead was
taken to the postolllce n couple of
years ngo in very much tho same man
ner that attended my summons to that
place.
"When this woman was taken before
the inspector, he advised her to make
a confession. She protested her Inno
cence. I could give the names, but 1
do not want to drag Innocent persons
Into tills matter.
"Why, I have received some of the
same letters. One of them says that
thirty-two members of Christ church,
to which the Rev. Elmer E. Snyder,
who is chiefly behind the charges
against me, is attached ns minister, can
attest the truth of the slander uttered
against me in the letter I got. My
lawyer has the letters. I think they
must have been written by some one
who belongs to tho church- mentioned.
"When they nsked me to write nnd
print for tho officials I gladly did so,
because I had nothing to fear nnd
know thnt. I was innocent of any con
nection with the letters."
Miss De Witt is a niece of the Into
Judge Silas De Witt, long prominent
in New Jersey politics. Her cousin,
John Do Witt, was the noted Prince
ton football star.
It is said that the only evidence in
the possession of the government that
connects her with the offense Is tho
handwriting sieclmens furnished by
her to the inspector, which, he asserts,
tallies with tho penmanship of the
letters which for nine years have
played havoc in social circles of this
little city.
