?' * * BEACH AND WIFE A HAPPY COUPLE They Were Affectionate Towards Each Other After Assault of Which He is Accused. I Aiken, Feb. 4.?The prosecuy J tion in the case of Frederick O. Beach today practically finished the construction of its circumstantial case, by which it purposes to show cause that the iNew lork millionaire assaulted his wife and inflicted a cut on her throat. All but one or two ^ of the state's witnesses were examined. Tomorrow Mrs. Beach will take, the stand to tell the jury that it was a negro and not her husband who committed the assault upon her last February, that led to the latter's indictment. Not one of the eight witnesses whose testimony consumed the first day of the trial, could tell just how the assault occurred. Four members of the Wyman family, living almost directly across the street, told of hearing a series of screams from different parts of the Beach premises about 9:30 o'clock on the night of February 27. Two of them swore that the dying echo of the last scream was quickly followed by a loud rap on the door and the sound of a man's voice exclaimed : "This is Beach; fet me in." BEACH'S EXPLANATION. By one of these same witnesses, Dr. Marion Wyman, the defense brought out the fact that Beach had explained to him the next day that after finding his wife prostrate, the victim of a negro assailant, and after carrying her into the house, he had gone out again in search of the man. Returning, unsuccessful, Beach told him he had knocked on the door to be admitted. Dr. Wyman and his father, Dr. Hastings Wyman, the first outsiders to see Mrs. Beach after she had been wounded, admitted on cross examination that the attitude of Renrh ?nr his wife toward each other was v.* one of affection. They reached the room into which Mrs. Beach had been carried while blooc was streaming from a wound ir her neck just under the right ea and Beach told them the story he has stuck to ever since ?that his wife was attacked in front of their cottage by ar unknown negro while he was ^ outside giving her dogs an airing. CONSPICUOUS FIGURE. Mrs. Beach was the most conspicuous figure in court today She sat through two long sessions, taking an occasional note from the testimony and chatting with her husband and the friends who surrounded her When she smiled she showed two rows of perfect pearl teeth and her sad brown eyes alone betrayed whatever anxiety she may have felt. A jury of countrymen will decide the guilt or innocence oi the wealthy New Yorker. Sever of them are farmers, one s merchant and the others cottor mill men. Every man answered unhesitatingly when askec if he thought he could give th( accused a fair and impartia trial. Both sides expressed confidence tonight that the cast would go to the jury tomorrow JURY QUICKLY DRAWN. Mr. and Mrs. Beach were chatting gaily when court was called to order at 10:20 o'clock this morning. Only 22 minute* was required to secure the jury *v i of which H. P. Davis, a farmer was designated as foreman. Beach was not formally arraigned, but was permitted tr sit with his counsel during tht ... reading of the indictment charging him with assaulting his wife with "murderous intent." rni ? a? ? i no prosecutions case was opened with the residing of testimony of Miss LAllah Wyman, who is ill.

Washington, Feb. 5.?Cc dieting claims of the federal a state governments to the cc trol over water powers mark the opening of the debate in t [ senate over the Connectic ; river dam bill through which ' proposed to establish the pri 1 ciple of federal control of wat ' power. An agreement was made i a vote on the bill on the legis ; tive day of February 11, but is exDected it will hp aovoi . days later than that when t 1 vote is taken. Senator Burt ' of Ohio, leader of the faction the senate which favors conti * by the government over t ' rates and charges of wat ' powers, defended the measi " today and will resume 1 J speech tomorrow mornirg. I "'J.he time will con 2 wh | there will have to b< natioi ' supervision over these wai J pov or rates, j ust as ti f re ' over railroad rates," Sepal 1 Burton said. "It will be nec< ' *ary 'o regard water ,?s well 5 land as an asset of the nati j which must be so controlled * to promote the general wolf; 1 and as far as possible oil 5 equal opportunities." Objections to the alleged vasion of state rights w? made by several senators in c " debate. Senator Works, * California, insisted that stal ' alone should have the right ' supervise and fix water pow ' rates. "Just a Cold."

THE INHERITANCE I TAX BILL KILLED ne By Close Vote House Rejects ny Rembert Measure. ja: Columbia, Feb. 5.?The house j today devoted itself to a legiti" 4 mate discussion of a most imief portant bill. It was one of the a few well conducted debates of ' ,, the session and involved the ^ adoption in this state of the principle of taxing inheritances. , 0 The bill is that of Mr. Rembert, i of Columbia, and it is substan- 1 tially the same bill that passed | ,a the house last year and failed in , the senate. From time to time i the house has taken the bill up ; ? and had intermittent discusm" sions; today, however, there i ,rj" were concerted etForts to dis- ? e T pose of the measure, and as ' a( soon as the third reading bills J 1 were over it was taken up on , en motion of Mr. McQueen to i ne , ^d. he lead the simple life.
