TO THEIR STORIES.After the defence had rested late today the state offered several wit.Lesaes in rebuttal te contradict portions of the testimony of Mr.and Mrs.Beach.The prosecutor cross-examined both Beach and his wife at great length and called their attention constantly to statements they are alleged to have made previously, differing in some detail to their testimony today.They would not admit that any part of their narrative today was incorrect.Mrs.Beach asid she was assaulted by 2 \u201cgingerbread colored\u201d negro.who aspreached her en pretence of having a message for a negro servant, She declared the negro slashed her throat and hit her on the side of the head with a stick; that she was to\u201d much frightened to scream at the first attack, and that when she di scream her husband came proniptly #0 her assistance and the assailant fled.At no time, Mrs, Beach said, had she entertained any idea that the negro's motive was robbery.Mrs.Beach Calm Witnege Beach did not remember a versation with his érife in the ma office, neither did, Mrs.Beach Both indignantly denied wthe suggestion that there was any ides of fastening the crime on any known person.Although her voice trembled, Mrs.Beach delievered her narrative calmly, deliberately and with an amazing memory for details of all thar happened except during these for moments when she was struggling with her assailant.\u201cThe life was terrified out of me.\u201d she said.\u201cI could not utter a sound.then suddenly 1 found my voice and T yelled and screamed hysterically.\u201d Her manner was almost defiant at times.\u201cI am sure I don't know\" was her favorite answer at such times and she would repeat the phrase over and over, whenever the prosecutor would press for an answer.Beach Slow To Grasp.Beach seemed to graps the iinport of some of the question put to him slowly and would hesitate until the matter had had time to revolve fully in his mind.When the prosecutor would remind him that certain points in his testimony were at variance with the stories he had told at the time of the assault, he would insist that the way he toid it today was the way it happened and that he never had related it differently, A large part of the afternoon session was taken up by the defence with the introduction of character witnesses.Men of high and low degree, men who had known Beach in New York and in Aiken for years\u2014he has spent seventeen winters here\u2014testi- fied as to his reputation for being quiet and order!;.There was every indication tonight that the trial would come to
