PROSECUTION HAS NEW WITNESS WHO 'KNEW BEFOREHAND' Two Men Claim to Have Heard Huckster Say he Knew The Day Before That Beattie Murder Was To be Committed. RICHMOND. Va . Aug. 27. -Instead of the day's respite that Sunday was expected to have given to the prin cipal figures in the Heattle trial, a new wltnrsM was accidentally discov ered by the prosecution tudny who Is raid to have asserted that he knew a day ahead of time that the murder was to lie commuted. Ills nam is Giorge Jones, a huckster, and he Is alleged to have given this Information In the presence of II. B.

The link that gives the Jones assertion serious weight la the fact that Jones la known to be a close friend of "Claudia," a sister of Beulah Blnford, the girl In the case. It. therefore, Is supposed that Jones, by hie proxtmtty to the Blnford family, may have learned ot the murder alleged to have barn planned by Beattie In order to b free to resume his companionship with the Blnford girl. When Deteo-, tlv Boherer learned of Jones' alleged conversation with Chewnlng and an other man, he went to Chewnlng, who confirmed the atory. "Jones Did Say That." "Yes, Jones did say that," Chewn lng said today. Iter when Jones, Chewnlng and Detective Schrer were together Jones denied having made any such remsrk but Chewnlng reiter ated that It was so. Jones showed uneasiness at Dsing called aa a witness, and attamptsa to minimise hla assertion.
