and in New York City today when
Harry N. Atwood In his record
breaking flight from St. Louis, failed
to aall over New Tork and land HW
Bheepshead Bay, but Instead, on ac
count of. a defect In his engine, was
compelled to land here, within 25

probably -early, Atwood expects to
resume his trip and In a few hours
finish the longest aeroplane flight

Atwood's position tonight is 1.140
tnlles from St. Louis and Just twenty-
five miles from the heart of New
Tork City. His actual flying time
(or the distance, covered In eleven
days, is twenty-seven hours and
and forty-five minutes.
Despite his failure to land In New
Tork, the day's sail of 10 miles
down the Hudson river gave Atwood
by seventy-six miles the world's iong
distance record, formerly held by
European aernauts.
Picturesque Incident.
Atwood's flight down the Hudson

FIRST DAY OF HIS
TRIAL YEAR FROM
HIS WEDDING DAY
Henry Clay Beattie Faces Jury of
His Peers on Charge of Murder
ing Young Wife on Highway.
As Composed as Ever.
CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va., Aug. 24. On this, the anniver
sary of his marriage to the woman he
stands accused of murdering, Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., sat in the stuffy
court room today and heard seven
witnesses called by the commonwealth
give testimony on which the prosecu
tion hopes to send him to the electric
chair. On the court house lawn, only
a few feet away, stood the blood
soaked automobile In which the young
wife met her death. Beattle him
self calmly Inspected the car when it
arrived today and not once during the
day's proceedings did he show any
signs of blanching. Twice during the
cross-examination of two detectives he
flushed -with amusement and struggled
to hold back his laughter.
Seven Wltneaaea Heard.
Of the seven witnesses examined to
day two were physicians. Dr. Herbert
Mann and Dr. Wilbur Mercer, who
examined Louise Bcattle's body on the
night of the murder.
The others were Thomas Owen, a
court stenographer and uncle to Mrs.
Beattle; Detectives Wrenn and Wilt
shire, of Richmond, who investigated
the case; Coroner Loving, of Chester
field county, and May Stuart, a stout,
middle-aged woman, who told of Se
attle's associations with Beulah Bin
ford. None of the witnesses except
Mr. Owen recalled that Beattle had
displayed any grief over the tragedy.
Others said they had not seen him
shed a tear.
With the first witness called mere
ly to establish the death of Mrs. Be
attle, their testimony was largely a
review of what came out at the In
quest, and It was not until the Stuart
woman took the stand that the pros
ecution began Its attempts to build
up a motive for the crime. She swore
that she was the proprietress of a
Questionable resort in Richmond, and
that Beattle. had appeared there with
the Blnford girl four times within
the two months preceding the murder,
and for the last time on July 17, th
night before the crime. ' Beulah Bln
ford, she testified, she bad known 'for
several. W"., :

After having the witness describe

He told how the body was lifted

Publishers have assured the post
