quivering lips and tear dimmed eyes he
set forth the story against which his
heart and sympathy had "for days been
revolting.
Had Held Back: the Truth.
"I hated to testify against my own
flesh and blood" he murmured as the
muscles of his throat pulsated "but
my wife my child and the duty I owe
to my city forced me to do so."
The gasp that rose simultaneously
from the throats of thnse in the stuffy
court room was' strl cingly audible and
for a moment the crowd hfid irs breath
while Paul Beattie continued:
"Henry himself told me that lie want-
ed me to stick to him but I said to
him "this looks mighty black to rce
and you've got me into a lot of trouble.'
"Henry told me 1 wish to Ood I had
never done it I would not have done it
for a million dollars but sie never
loved me she only married ne for my
money.' " '
Paul Beattie paused and his plain-
tive tone sank lower but he did "not
"break down. A hushed stillness pie-
vailed in the room as his next words
were awaited but he said no more and
bracing himself in his chair turned
his sharp chin toward the bench where
the prisoner and counsel sat. and look-
ed fixedly at the latter in preparation
for the cross examination.
Cross ExamiHatioa Sharp.
Harry Smith jr. one of the lawyers
for the defendant rose from his seat
gazed bard at the witness and in a loud
voice confronted Paul with the charge
that at the coroner's Inquest he had
not told the whole truth as his oath
required when he omitted to make the
statement concerning Henry's alleged
confession.
Paul looked appeallngly at the coun-
sel and hardly able to repress his emo-
tion -told bow he had not been able to
clear his mind at the inquest when he
collapsed or for some days later and
that he had only recently been able to
force himself to give damaging evi-
dence against his own kinsman.
It was a late hour when this stage
of the trial was reached and adjourn-
ment was taken until this morning for
the cross examination to continue.
Many an eye was focused on Henry
Clay Beattie jr. as well as on Henry
Clap Beattie sr. as Paul poured forth
his "conscience." The gray haired fath-
er of the prisoner sat with lips pressed
tightly over clenched teeth often
shielding his features from view by a
palm leaf fan.

the remaining lines.
The decrease Jin expense and main-
tenance is said to be the result of ac-
tion of the interstate commerce com-
mission which refused to allow the
roads to put into effect a general in-
crease of freight rates. The largest
reductions in the forces are found
among the trackmen shopmen and
miscellaneous employes.
The report containing these figures
may it is said have an Important
bearing on the -widespread agitation in
the ranks of shopmen on the Harriman
lines.

ers are being pushed into San Fran-
cisco in anticipation of a general
walkout in the Harriman line shops

In the last three days three parties
of twelve men each have passed
through Denver. Most- of them have
come from points In Pennsylvania al-
though some have been recruited fur-
ther west Their passage ' has been
made as quietly as .possible as it Is

uneasily perspiration on his brow and
a flush on his thin face. He Tjuried Ills
fingers Into a crumpled handkerchief
almost shoved It Into his mouth and bit
hard at it
"When H. M. Smith jr. for the defence
began his cross examination he concen-
trated on only one point He waved a
thick-book of typewritten testimony
in the face of the witness and almost
shotted at him why he had not in his
entire 55 pages of testimony at the
coroner's inquest given the slightest
intimation that Henry Clay Beattie jr.
had ever mentioned to him "I wish to
God I had not done it"
"You were under oath then to tell
the whole truth" he cried as he lean-
ed over the bench and pointed his
clenched hand at the witness "why did
you not do it?"
The witness said he was In bad phy-
sical condition at the Inquest; that he
hardly knew what he was saying or
that he could not Jremember being
asked anything concerning his knowl-
edge of Henry Clay Beattie jr.'s al-
leged confession.
"When his mental condition was bet-
ter the witness said he told Wenden-
burg the prosecuting attorney his
mind's burden. He had previously told
it he said only to his wife.
Identifies the Gun.
"When Paul Beattie was summoned
after preliminary questions as to age
relationship to the accused etc. the
gun with which Mrs. Beattie was killed
was produced.
"Look at that and tell the jury when
was the first time you saw it?" said
prosecutor Wendenburg.
"The first time" Beattie answered
quickly "was at the pawnship when I
bought it on a Saturday the one before
the murder and the next time was the
day after the murder.
"How did you come to buy the gun?"
"Thursday in the week before the
murder happened I was at home with
my wife and baby" Paul replied speak-
ing slowly. "I had my shoes off and
was preparing for bed. The telephone
rang and Henry Clay Beattie jr. ask-
ed me to meet him in 15 minutes. I
dressed and went to Short and Main
streets three squares away. My cousin
came a few minutes later in his auto-
mobile. "We went to a saloon and had
a drink and as we were leaving he said
'Paul I want you to buy me a single
barreled shotgun.' I said 'all right' He
took me home in the machine and gave
me $2 to pay for the gun and five cents
for cartridges. He told me to call up
a girl for him Mrs. Fisher and tell
her he would be around for his -wife's
dress. I called up Mrs. Fisher and told
her this." Previous testimony had shown
MN
M
T
that Beulah Blnford was known as
'TMrs. Fisher."
"When did you by the gun?" the wit-
ness was asked.
"On .Saturday about 4:30 oclock."
Describes Purchase of Gun.
The witness then described in detail
his purchase of the weapon and con-
tinued: "After I paid for the gun the man
took it to pieces and wrapped it up. A
boy wrote my name on a piece of pa-
per. I went home and ate supper andv
then went to the store of Uncle Henry
and saw Henry Clay Beattie jr. "When
I walked In I said I had bought the
shotgun. He replied 'all right after the
store closes we'll get the gun.'
"At 1 oclock we got in the machine
and went to a place near the pawnshop
and I got the gun and came out to the
automobile while he fixed the light
He got in the back part of the automo-
bile with the gun and I didn't see
what he did with it He took me home
and as I was leaving he asked me to
do him a favor first to call up 'the
same woman Mrs. Fisher and tell her
he would be around to see hen"
"When did you first learn of the
murder?"
"Next ' morning."
"When after that did you see Hen-
ry?" "That same day in the evening at his
house. We stayed on the -front porch.
"'Paul' he saidI want you. to go to the
house of Mrs. Fisher and tell her If she
Vavs anything I'll kill Tier if it takes
lmeyears to do it'"
The witness saia ne visiLtsa xouia.u
Binford and gave her the message.
"She said: I reckon Henry Clay Beat-
tie jr. will marry me now. "' Paul
continued.

mony and sustained by the court

the wrecked battleship Maine as the
available funds will permit will be xe-
moved or prepared for removal from

day and then the mammoth cofferdam
surrounding the ruins will be refilled
with water to await an additional
appropriation by congress to finish the

Congress failed to act on the presi-
dent's request for an additional $250-
000 and the war department has map-
ped out its plans for the expenditure
of the money on hand which probably
will be exhausted by the time congress
convenes in December.
Because of the lack of funds even fu-
neral services over the recovered re-
mftlTiR of the dead and the erection in
Aritne-ton National cemetery of the i

ment to them must be postponed. The

the cemetery to be stored there until
congress acts.
