A scathing attack upon De tective Luther Scherer'a teatlmooy was made by counsel for the defense when Henry Clay Beattie. Jr's trial for wife murder was resumed at 10:30 Srherer, who worked up toe cage for the prosecution, gave Saturday the most vital broadside thus far directed toward Beattie. Under crosi-examlna tlon today, the prisoner's counsel at' tempted to shatter bis testimony. Hill Carter directed the cross-examination Prisoner Seems Refreshed. The prisoner arrived at the court house at ten o'clock. When brought Into court Beattie seemed refreshed after Sunday's rest. Talks With Witnesses. The defense counsel directed certain questioning with apparent purpose of developing whether Scherer coached witnesses, Including Paul Beattie and Beulah Binford. The defendant ad mltted he discussed the case with Paul two times and with Beulah per haps twenty or twenty-five times. Scherer's Talk With Beattie. Referring to Scherer's testimony Sat urday, Mr. DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BEATTIE CASE. Mrs. R. V. Owen, mother of Mrs. H. C. Beattie, Jr., the mur dered woman, was on the stand today and testified to her daugh ter's sadness for some days be fore the tragedy and to Beattie actions on the fatal night. The defense made an unsuccessful ef fort to havs some of her testimo ny ruled out Her appearance on the stand was a great aur prise and regarded as a (ever blow to the defense. Defense made fierce attack on evidence of Detective Scherer In cross-examination. It is probable now that Beulah Binford will not be called aa a witness. i WITNESS 1 i MURDER 1 PLANNED RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 28 Instead of the day's respite that Sunday was Carter pointed to alleged expected to have given to the princl conversations between Beattie and Scherer after the murder. "Did Beattie tell you he failed to stop at any house along the way be cause he knew there was a' physician at the Owen home where he wasi tak ing hi wife?" Scherer replied: "I asked Beattie limply If he stopped at any houses along the route to set people on the trail of the man who shot his wife. He said be was hurrying to get a doctor. I then asked If he did not know his wife was dead. He answered that he tried after she was shot to feel her pulse and heart but could not tell If she was dead or not." The defense proceeded along lines to show Scherer had approached wit nesses for the defense. Blood-Stained Clothe Shown. After Scherer left the Btand Sheriff Oill was asked by Prosecutor Wen denburg to bring into the court house the blood-stained clothes worn by Beattie the night of the murder. Mrs. Owen On Stand. A woman veiled in heavy black sud denly was brought Into the room at 11.60 o clock and took the stand. She waa Mrs. Owen, mother of tire dead woman. She came in a (axlcab. Her entrance was dramatic. "Your name?" asked Wendenburg simultaneously as Beattle's clothes were brought. "Mrs. R. V. Owen." "Your home?" "Dover, Delaware." "You were the mother of the dead woman?" ..... "Yes." -' '1 wish' you would tell the Jury all about your daughter' living happily with her husband," said Wendenburg. There was a pause while counsel for the defense conferred. Asked conceiving Mrs. Beattle's Home lifo, Mrs. Owen said: "She was sad and had frequent cry ing spells." i The witness spoke in a low, weak voice. Facing the jury Bhe lifted her veil, showing her rale, wrinkled face, but ahe.did not look at the prisoner. "Do you know the cause of Mrs Beattle's sorrow?" "I do not know. She did not tell me." "Old she Bhow you anything as the cause for looking sad or having trjng spells?" ' "We object,'-snapped the defense counsel. The prosecution announced that it proposed to show that Beattie's physi cal condition due to dissipation caus ed his wife's sorrow. On objection the prosecution attorneys deferred the (jiiestlon. "Did Beattie ever go' out with his wife alone?" Mr. Owen waa asked. "Not until that night." Witness said on the night of the murder she eautioned Mrs. Beattie not to go out alone with her husband. The prosecution's idea apparently Is to prove that Beattie killed his wife because of the fear that his father might learn of bis condition and cut him off from the f&mlly. , i At noon the court took a recess to (he jury room to discuss points con cerning the prospective testimony of Mrs. Owen. Mrs. Owen's examination was re sumed at 1:20 this afternoon. The tes timony developed that the condition of young Beattie became known to hit wife Thursday before he waa killed. "On the night of the murder," said Mrs. Owen, "1 asked Beattie who could have been cruel enough to kill an In nocent girl He gave no explanation." "Did you notice tear on the pris oner' face then?" "No." Croat-Examination. The cross-examination was then be ams bv the defense. Mr. Owen ad mitted her knowledge of Beattie con pal figures in the Beattie trial, a ne witness was accidentally discovered by the prosecution who 1 said to have asserted that he knew a day ahead of time that the murder waa to be committed. His name Is George Jones, a huckster, and he Is alleged to have given this Information in the presence of H. a Chewnlng, a well known contractor, and another man whose name the prosecution for the present has reserved. Though De tective L. L. Scherer, to whose ear Jones' story came, admitted that Jones may have made the alleged re mark "I knew about the murder the Monday before," In a boastful spirit. wishing to jest in an i told you-so .manner about Richmond's all-absorbing topic, the prosecution neverthe less thought best to subpoena both Jones and Chewnlng to appear at the Chesterfield court house, where the trial was resumed today. Proximity. The link that gives Jones' ai sertlon serious weight is the fact that Jones Is known to be a close friend of "Claudle," a sister of Beulah Binford, the girl in the case. It therefore is supposed that Jones by his proximity to the Binford family may have learned of the murder al leged to have been planned by Beattie in order to be free to resume his companionship with the Binford girl When Detective 8cherer learned of Tones' alleged conversation with Chewnlng and another man, he went to Chewnlng, who confirmed the story. "Yes, Jone did say that." said Chewnlng. Later when Jones, Chewnlng and Detective Scherer were together Jones denied having made any uch remark, but Chewplng re Iterated that It was so. Jones showed uneasiness at being called as a wit ness and attempted to minimize his assertion. The prosecution, however. is determined to probe thoroughly Jones' knowledge of the affair, par ticularly as It affects the Binford family. A Frequent Guest. In fact, having built up Its case larzelv on the Binford Kir! a the alleged motive for the murder, the State will attempt to Impress that point on the Jury by producing from the demi-monde of Richmond a num her of men and women to testify about frequent visits of Henry Clay Beattie. Jr., to certain resort with the Binford girl. One witness, for In stance, who lives near the Binford home. 1 prepared to tell of the num her of times he saw Henry U Beattie Jr.', car In front of the house, how he became Interested In seeing the same machine there so ofen that tak Ing Its number he learned the owner UN AS 1110 111,6 BOULEVARD 10 ERECT SPLENDID EON STREET Winston Salem I to have another up-to-date garage wmch will handle some of the most popular automobile on the market Mr. Taul N.

Tb Winston board of aldermen are discussing the advisability of laying tarvia from Mickey street, where the bitulithlc street end now. to rted mont Park. At this point. It will eon nect with a mil of tarvia road which has been built by the county from Piedmont Park to the eouaty bom. It connects at this point with the macadam road which extend to Walk ertown. Beginning with Mickey street and running couth, the bitulithlc extends to Third street. From Third to First street, the present macadam street could be put In splendid condition by a little, surface treatment the 'lot and erect an up to-dat gar ag with all modern Improvementa. The bids for the erection of the new building will be received nd the contract awarded within a short tim and the new place will probably opea for business about the Brat of the new year. The new building will be a hand some one story," brick building with metal roof. It will have a pressed brick front with granite trimmings. It will have entrances on Main, Belew' Creek and Church treet. The new garage will handle some of the best mschlno on the market todav and will be a distributing agency for the Stoddard Dayton and Marmon car nd Waverly electric. Mr. Montague ha been contemplat- Inc the erection of the garage for soma time. He ha had wide expert nca In the automobile business and la verv talented In the sclene of mechanic. He will be assisted In th management of the new business bt hi grandfather. Mr. George K Nissen, one of the pioneer business men of this section. The new building will be rushed to completion and everything possible will be don to make It a near Ideal aa possible. Mr. Montague having studied the plans of tome of the lead ing garages of the larger cities. rentier meet in Friday night will probably discuss the question of lay ing, tarvia on Liberty street from First (street to Walnut street By a detour of one block east up Walnut street to Main In Salem and thence south two blocks to, th Salem Creek, connection I made with th splendid Salisbury road which extends about eight miles from Bsiem trees to the Davidson county Una. Thi road I splendid macadam road and was nrobably the first road tn North Carolina to be treated with Indian liquid asphslt which binds th par tlelea ot the road firmly together and prevents disintegration and dust. Thus It will be seen that If the pro posed Improvements are made It will give tho city and county a magnificent boulevard extending from Walkertown to Winston and thence through Salem to the Davidson county line, a distance of at least sixteen miles. It would also mak a drive of at least four miles over bitulithlc and tarvia streeta with the exception of two block from Third street to F1rt street. Th route would he a very Interest Ing one a It traverses both Winston and Salem and part of three of the finest townships In the county, Mid die Fork.

FARMER SNAPS HIS NINETY-ONE APPLY FALSE TEETH AT TAXES NEW CASTLE, Conn.. Aug. 28. A farmer near here ha Died a claim for exemption from personal and poll tax on th plea that he ha false teeth.

"You spoke of your daughter having crying spells," suggested Mr. Carter "That wa not unusual, wa ltf "Yes, unusual to me. I never knew her to be hysterical before," replied Mrs. Owen. Defense Loses Point. The court overruled the motion of defense counsel to strike out Mrs. Ow en's testimony regarding Beattle's con ditlon. Mrs. Owen waa exensed and court adjourned for luncheon. The presence or the woman in mourning caused a sensation in the court room. Her coming waa entirely unexpected. Beattie fidgeted - ner vously. . v The dead girl' mother came from Delaware last night.
