Toronto, Aug. 28. -In A collision be- tween a ferry boat and a gasoline launch just east of Spadina 'Avenue, • Saturday evening, about 10 &block Miss Hattie Gates, of 45 Rose avenue„ was drowned and her two companions al- most met the same fate, They were res- cued just in tine, both of them being almost completely exhausted when tak- en from the water. Miss Gates was not seen after the ferry boat struck the launch and it is thought that her cloth- ing became entangled in the wreckage when she went down. Mss Gates, with Mr. Clayton Smith, of 543 College street, the owner of the gasoline launch, "'Atmore," atd Misa Hill, of 107 Gerrard street east, had been at the Island during the evening. The supply of galoline was running short and they decided to come over to the city to get more. They were making for the slip 'at the foot Of Spadina avenue, just as the ferry T. 3. Clark was coming out. Mr. Warden Shaw, of 47 Yonge street, was also owning along in a gasoline launch from The west. The attention of Smith was apparently directed to Shaw's boat and his efforts seemed to be to keep out of his way. Ile succeeded in doing this, but got in the course of the ferry. When the boats collided, the Leonore was thrown a few feet and sank almost instantly, Smith and Miss Hill had jumped, but Miss Gates had apparently not seen the danger as quiegkly as the other two and could not save herself. The ferry slowed down and was about to lower a boat when the two people were picked up by Mr. Shaw.' Mait Aykroyd was notified and started dragging operations. The body was found yesterday forenoon and Coroner Dr. Brand is investigating. The body wits released to friends by the cot -- oiler, and it is not likely that an in- quest will be held. Mr, Warden Shaw, who rescued Miss Hill and Clayton Smith, said his launch, the Midraw, was about 100 feet from the scene of the collision. Miss Gates was a trained nurse and about 38 years of age. Her home wee in Godfrey, Ont., about 40 miles from Kingston and she had a brother liviog at Waterdown. 4 • • FATAL FALL.

BEATTIE WIFE MURDER CASE Trying to Lay Bare a Motive for Murder. Beulah Binford, "The Girl in the Case". Prisoner's COUSila Paul to Go on Stand. Chesterfield Court House, Va., Aug. 28.' -Tho most vital broadaide of testi- mony Glue far aimed against Henry Li. Beattie, jr., indicted for wife murder, was planned by the prosecution for toeley's session of the court here. The etory of the motive, the under- lying propagating fore() that might in. cite a man to murder his wife', was r caefully presented by the coennon. wealth, for emission through a string of witnesses.

The prosecution infentle to make a single effort to im- press the jiiry .with the testhnony re- prding the, motive,. and it w4(.3 eon, sidered not at all impossible that if by the erid of the day the apparent effect on the jury had been sufficiently strong, the state would net revert again in the trial to this line of argument. Such a contingency would mean, it is admitted, the possible elimination from the' stand of Beulah Biuford, "the girl in the case," from whom the public, but neither the prosecution, nor defence, has looked forward for dramatic testimony. Should the state toalay complete its fight on the motive, it hopes next to have Paul Beattie on the standeto begin its direct evidence concerning, the pur- chase of the gun by Paul for Henry. Suddenly and without the faint-ere:it intimation hitherto duriug the trial, the prosecutiou toolay confronted Henry Clay Beattie, jr., with Mrs. Re V. Owen, mother of the woman he is alleged to have murdered, She brought to the surface a point intended as relevant to the alleged mo- tive of the murder, namely, that Beat - tie's physical condition, due to dissipa- tion, had caused much unhappiness to hie wife. The witness said that on the night -h of the murder she ad cautioned Mrs. iBneisablinea.not to go out alone with her The testimony of Mrs. Owen took Judge Watson, as well as the whole court room, by surprise, and immedi- ately the court suggested a recess, and a conference with counsel of both sides, jury and prisoner to discuss further tes- timony along this line. Chesterfield, Va., Aug. 28. -The pri- soner arrived at the court house from Riehmond at 10 o'clock and was brought into the court room at 10.30, when the day's session was begun. The acoused was attired in a grey suit to -day and looked refreshed after his rest hi a eell at Richmond over Sunday. Detective Scherer immediately took the stand, Hill Carter beginning his cross-examination for the defence.
