CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE, Va., Sept. 1. With an element o mystery injected by receipt of a tel egram which Attorney Smith for tho defense excitedly declared contained Information of tho most Important character and with the promise that Henry Clay Reattio, Jr., taking tho stand in his own defense, would make disclosures calculated to prove his ln nocenso of tho chargo of having mur dered his young wife, the trial of tho banker today assumed an atmosphere of intensity far greatei than has ex isted at any other time since the court proceedings first began. Prisoner's Ilrothcr Called. Tardy arrival of wltneasos delayed proceedings foV an half hour. Then character witnesses were sworn. Cap tain Wright of tho RlcHmond police, J. P. Jones, R. O. Broadus and Rich ard Sanders all testified that tho rep utation of of E. Neblltt, whoso testi mony (tally contradicted that of Paul Beattle, and Henry Clay Seattle, Jr.. wero both good. Following theso witnesses the de fense, in further efforts to show that tho relations between Beattlo and his wlfo wero most cordial, placed tho prisoner's brother, Douglas Beattlo, on tho stand. After stating that Henry Beattlo and his wife apparently kissed when ever they met and tnht ho had never noticed any lack of harmony between them, Douglas, referring to tho nigh of tho tragedy, said: Story of Murder. "In response to a telephone call from Dr. Mercer, my father, my Bis ter and I hastened to the Owen home. Father entered first and vrben I went in I saw Henry In father's arms, sob bing and fondling a llttlo slipper. It belonged to Louise, and I knoTT then that sho was dead." Tho boy then went on to describe smearing his clothes with blood In driving tho automobllo after tho trag edy. Seek Mysterious Witness. Later Smlth'dramatlcally callod tho over they met and that he had never sheriff asldo and, writing a name on a small slip of paper, handed it to tho officer, saying: "Havo the witness summoned forth with but keep tho namo a secret. You'll havo no trouble In finding him. Any policeman In Richmond can tell you whore ho Is." If tho witness la brought In, It la probable that Honry Beattlo will not bo summoned to tho stand today. Douglas Beattlo, resuming tho stand, strengthened tho contention of tho defcuso that tho blood spots on tho gun wero not caused by tho pris oner's handling, by stating thai ho had handled tho gun aftor the tragedy when his hands wero covered with blood as a result of having driven tho automobllo.
