Charge, Though >ot Unexpected, Again j Sets People to Talking of 3fys- i terious Attack. Aiken, April 8.?Frederick 0. Beach, New York millionaire and society leader, and one of Aiken's prominent 'winter residents, is charged with 1 roV* ? n or Vt'/i o-ifo'c fhrna* in this citV J P11 I J-lfe jJJ? "?v several weeks ago, a warrant being! issued here todc.y for his arrest This action revives interest in the (mysterious assault on Mrs. Beach on February 26, which it was generally believd that her assailant was a negro. The warrant charges Beach with as- j eault and battery with intent to kill, and was issued in the affidavit of Special Detective M. S. Baughn, supported by affidavits of several of his witmesses. A deputy has gone to Columbia to get requisition papers from Governor Blease on the governor of New York, and will go to New York city tomor - J.V_ +. o Ifhrvn trh -f- if !TOW TO sei've ulk; w<x? i cuav, uk.uuuc?u , is stated that Beach has already sailed from that city for Europe, his departure, it is alleged, taking place two weeks before his schedule, as announced a few hours before leaving Aiken for his home in New York. In the event that Beach has sailed for Europe, it is not known what steps will be taken toward service of the warrant. Evidence Against Beach. Detective Baughn, of Atlanta, has been at work on the case just three weeks, having begun an investigation shortly after a Pinkerton man, who failed to throw any light on the mystery, ceased his efforts. "What Detective Baughn considers a damaging piece of evidence against Beach is the alleged finding of a gold plated, diamond studded pocket knife belonging to the millionaire. It is also stated that an examination of this knife by a prominent chemist in this State disclosed a quantity of human blood on one of the blades. In addition there is offered as evidence the phony pearl earring, also covered with blood, and the back comb, which, it is alleged, fell from Mrs. Beach's hair when she was stabbed. Both of these and the pocketknife were found on the driveway on the opposite side of the house from the spot where Mrs. Beach said tt-cjc. and directly adjoin DiiC " UO O'l'^w-Vikv/v., . _ ing the laundry house, between the Beach residence and the residence of Joseph Harriman. Doubt on "Wife's Story. It was these latter physical facts which first gave rise to doubt of Mrs. Beach's statement, though the authorities kept their finds; a secret for some time, and not until today did it become known that the knife had been found. Therefore, tfrere w*as noining to connect Mr. Beach with the attack excpt comment based on surmise. The investigation has been practically completed by Detective Baughn and the results have been placed in the hands of Solicitor R. L. Gunter. Special Agent Baughn came to Aiken on March 16, just after the Pinkerton man had abandoned the field. Evidently the investigation was carried on with the greatest possible dispatch ovnprHfmnv. certainlv with a great deal of secrecy, for ^ven now very fewpeople are acquainted with the detective. Rewards Offered. Shortly after Mrs. Beach was attacked, and after a fruitless search for iher supposed .negro assailant, rewards were offered for the apprehension of the criminal. The rewards were increased from time to time until now there is outstanding a reward of $3,000 for the arrest and conviction of a man "of medium height and illiterate." According to detaails made knovn subsequent to the attack, Mrs. Beach heard a noise in front of her residence on the night she was wounded. She went into the yard to investigate and was handed a note by a negro, who seized her and slashed her throat with a sharp weapon, inflicting an in:ly wound. The alleged negro then dis According to a statement attributed to Mrs. Beach, the note handed to her was signed by "Marie," said to be a servant in the employ of Mrs. Joseph Harrvman. It is stated that Mrs. Beach formerlykwas the wife of one of the Havemeyers. The assault on Mrs. Beach and subsequent charges against her husband provide probably the greatest sensation the city of Aiken has ever known. ProhaMy on tfir- Oflicr Side. New York, April S.?Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Beach are believed to have sailed for Europe on the steamer Mauretania, which lefe here early Wednesday morning last. Their names do not appear on the passenger list of the steamer, but it is understood they had been at the pier not long before the time of liner's departure. The Beaches arrived here from ttie South the latter part of last month and. were at the Hotel Vanderbilt, in this city, until Tuesday last, when they left without announcing their destination. At the hotel tonight it was said that all the mail that had ar' rived for them since that time was still being held here, as they had left iio forwarding address. Tnoniric tonight as to the where abouts of Mr. Beac hfirst developed that Mr. and Mrs Frederick 0. Beach had arrived here from Aiken about a week ago, and instead of going to their summer home on Long Island j had taken quarters at the Hotel Van-1 derbilt. The only social function in j whiVh fhpv -nflrtirirvatpd durinsr the! week's stay was a little party which they had in honor of their three sons, who are in school here. This was regarded as a farewell dinner, because it was understood that Mr. and Mrs. Beach planned to sail on the Mauretania on Wednesday. Nothing wafe j said about the couple's destination abroad. j Tuesday afternoon their baggage j was ordered shipped to the pier and j 1 ? TrnfV ! litter tilt; cvupit; U1UVC mm u understanding that they were to board the steamer. The fact that their names do not appear on the passenger list jwas not regarded as particularly unusual, because a number of prominent people avoid such publicity. Friends here tonight said they were to go to France, where it is understood they j have many friends. Manager Marshall, of the Vanderj bilt, said tonight there was absolutely | no mystery about the movements of I the Beaches here. He understood, he j added, that they liad sailed as guests ! of Mrs. Wm. K. Yanderbilt. Mr. Beach was married November 23, 1S99, in this city. Wm. K. Yanderbilt was best man. His bride was the widow of Chas. F. Havemeyer, to whom she was married in October, i t nr\n -i ?1 j : _ j J ,-J 1 ? J? -MT~ JLd?v, ana wiio uieu suuueuiy hi .uaj, i 1898. She later became acquainted 'and closely attached to Beach on ac' count of their mutual fondness for ! outdoor sports, both being noted for ! their horsemanship. In the fall of 1899 they were married quietly. Only a few friends were present. I ? Among the "400." Augusta, Ga., April 8.?A special to I the Chronicle from New YorK says: "Mr. and Mrs. Beach reside at Roslyn, X. Y. They are both prominent in social circles here. }Jrs. B?ach, j who was Mrs. Charles Havemeyer, was I married to Beach on November 23, ! 1899, at Grace church, this city, and I the wedding was attended by a larg? number of the best known society folk | of New York and other Eastern cities. Win. K. Vanderbilt acted as best man." Beach and Wife >~ow in London. London, April 9.?Frederick 0. i Beach, the Wall street broken, against I whom a warrant has been issued at I Aiken. S. C.. charsrins: him with assault and battery -with intent to kill his wife, has arrived in London with Mrs. Camilla Beach. Mr. and Mrs. Beach, who are staying at a prominent hotel in London, have not left their apartment since they arj rived here. Mr. Beach declined to be interviewed, but he told the Associated Press over the telephone today that there j was "nothing in the charges." i Later in the day, when a cablegram J saying that a warrant charging him with assault and battery had been sworn out at Aiken, S. C., was received here, it was sent up to Mr. Beach, but he returned it without making any comment and again refused to grant 'an interview. Nothing regarding the case against 'Mr. Beach has so far been received at the American embassy in London. Beaches Go to Paris. ' London, April 9.?Mr. and Mrs. ; Beach after consulting with friends, suddenly decided to quit London and took the night boat at Dover en route i to Paris. It is understood their origini al intention was to spend several days ; in London. i Will Face Charges, Says Lawyer. New York, April 9.?Frederick 0. ! Beach, the broker and society man, who is charged with attempting to kil] his wife and who, with Mrs. Beach, is now in London, will return to this country to meet the charges against him. according to a statement made tonight by the law firm of Nichol, Anable, Lindsay & Fuller, of this city.
