called. It cannot be charged up to her.
The invisible chains of past experi
ence bind her mind. She could not
break that if she wanted.
. Hard Fight By Defense.
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., Indicted
for the murder of his wife, sobbed
like a child yesterday when his gray-
haired father In a iow, tremulous
voice, told of the domestic felicity
of his son and the slain woman.
Louise Owen Beattie. It was the
first time that the stoical calm or
the prisoner's countenance had given
way during the trial. The testimony
of the father in behalf of his son
came as the dramatic close of
long day's battle by the defense
against the evidence heaped up by
the prosecution.
Paul'e Character Bad.
Battering constantly against the
testimony of Paul Beattie, cousin of
the Drisoner. as to the purchase of
the sun. his delivery of It to Henry
and hisv subsequent conversations
with the accused, the defense intro
duced several witnesses to cast doubt
unon the veracity of Paul. It intro
duced David D. Beattie. Paul's grand
father and the uncle of Henry, who
testified that Paul's chara ter was
not good. It was another Intense pe
riod in the trial, for with apparent
regret the aaed man told of his
grandson's shortcomings.
"Biggest Liar In Town."
r. H. Lewis, an employe of the
store in South Richmond,
declared that people spoke of Paul
Beattie "as the biggest liar in town.
Henry Clay Beattie, Sr., father Of
the accused, was interrogated for ah
hour Just before court adjourned for
the dav. As he stepped to me wii
ness stand the prisoners iace
flushed. The white-haired man, his
face deeply wrinkled and pale, spoke
in a voice scarcely above a wnisper,
Counsel leaned forward over the
bench to listen to him. He. talked
with great effort, repressing an ever
recurrent emotion. He told or nis
children, how Henry In his Infancy
had been neglected because twins
came Into the family during his boy
hood and described how on this ac
count and the death of his own wife,
he had grown closely attached to
his son. He described the strong
love that had existed between Henry
and hU lll-futed wife, testifying that
he himself grew to love his daugh
ter-ln law as one of his own chll
dren.
When her babf was born," said
Beattie. sDeaking of the dead worn
an, ' It was like starting life over for
me to see the grandchild, it drew us
all together very much."
Father Praises 8on.
Tia annka hiuhlv of his son's char
acter and ocntroverted the testimony
nf manv witnesses for the prosecu
tion, that Henry showed no signs of
Hof after his wife's murder. He
rioninrert he sobbed and moaned al
mnst all nieht after the tragedy.
Henrv Clay Beattie, Sr., father of
the accused, stated his age at 68,
said that his wife was dead and thatJ
the prisoner was nis son ana was a
years old.
"What age was Henry when his
mother died?" asked Attorney Smith.
"About 16," the elder Beattie re
plied. "Have your relations with him
since then become closer or more
distant on that account?"
"Certainly closer." '
"Why did they become so?"
"He was one of twins and was pre
viously more or less neglected."
Henry Truthful Boy.
"Do you know what his reputation
for truth and veracity was among
the people with whom you associat
ed?" "Good."
"How long has he been with you In
your store?"
"Eight years. He has charge of
the shoe and gent's furnishing de
partments and does the buying."

Jury In the case of Paul Geidel,
the seventeen-year-old bellboy
charged with murdering Wil

WASHINGTON, 8ept 1. Ambassa
dors and ministers of the American
foreign service have been Instructed
by the State Department to submit es
timates for construction or purchase
by the United States of homes for
them In every foreign capital In the
world. This Is In accordance with the
recent appropriation granted by Con
gress providing for government-owned
embassies and legations In order to re
lieve the diplomats of the enormous
expense of rent, which in some cases
exceeds their salaries.
Congress limited the cost of any
embassy or legation to $150,000.
State Department officials believe that
this will be , inadequate to afford
abodes In keeping with the dignity of
the nation, especially In the large cap
itals where It is believed an appropri
ation of $250,000 or $300,000 will be
needed. With the $150,000 limitation
it Is thought the policy of erecting or
purchasing American legations can be
Inaugurated in some of the small Cen
tral or South American countries.
