KEEP INSURANCE
MONEY IN STATE
Life Insurance Companies
Favor Bill Requiring Invest
ments in Home Securities.
Georgians generally and life insur
ance men in particular are deeply in
terested in the bill of Senator W. 8.
Mann, of the Sixteenth district, which
seeks to force all life insurance com
panies doing business in the state of
Georgia to invest not less than 35 per
cent of their Georgia premium income
in Georgia securities.
This bill comes up for a hearing be
fore the senate committee on the judi
ciary Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock,
and life insurance men everywhere will
watch the result of that hearing as
something likely to affect greatly their
business for years to come, not only in
Georgia, but throughout the entire
South.
The Georgia and Southern life insur
ance companies take the position that
it is nothing but right, and just that
companies doing business in this state
should be required to invest at least
one-third of their income from the
state in Gate securities.
They hold that investments in Geor
gia are quite as profitable as invest
ments elsewhere, that they may be
made quite as secure, and that it is
nothing more than business equity to
demand of concerns taking millions
from the people yearly that they inter
est themselves directly and vitally In
the affairs of those people.
The proposed Mann law is In line
with the laws of several other South
ern states, which exact similar condi
tions of companies operating therein.
And, while there has been some "kick
ing" upon the part of some of the big
companies of the East, the general ef
fect upon life insurance in those states
is said to have- been decidedly beneficial
and helpful.
The impression is that the bill will
be recommended favorably by the judi
ciary committee, and that it eventually
will pass both the senate and the house
and receive the governor’s signature.

WHO SHOT EUGENE H. GRACE?
“My Wife Did It" He Says
HIS STORY:
From the first, except for a brief in
terval at St. Josephs hospital imme
diately following the discovery of his
being shot, Eugene H. Grace contended
that his wife had shot him.
Her reasons, he said, were that she
was tired of him and that she wanted
his insurance money.
His version of the case is in sub
stance as given to the press from time
to time as follows:
1 am not certain that my wife
shot me, but the circumstances look
suspicious. • • » Yes, she shot
me. She was tired of me. For a
long time I had noticed that she
was tired of me. but I did not sus
pect that she would choose such
desperate measures to rid herself
of me. How she can deliberately
claim otherwise is a mystery to
me. She shot me and she knows
that she did. She was a beneficiary,
you know, of my insurance poli
cies.
I waked Tuesday morning with
a pain in my side. I examined
myself as best I could and found
blood at my side. I told Daisy
that 1 had been shot and asked her
to call a doctor. She seemed in no
hurry to do so. I pleaded with
her. Finally she went to the tele
phone—came back presently and
said that the doctor could not be
located. Then the servants came
into the room.
Says His Wife Left
Him Dying in Room.
She fooled around for a while
and then left—locking the door be
hind her. There 1 lay, weak, help
less and dying. During the after
noon I managed finally to reach
the telephone and in that manner
I notified the police,
"Daisy, you know that you shot
me,” I told her when she came
into my room at St. Josephs hos
pital. "Eugene, how can you say
such a thing?’’ she replied. She
threatened to take from me the
power of attorney I exercised in
her properties If I continued to say
that she shot me.
f wish to be set right before the
people. Many wild and untrue
stories have gone out about my life
before I was married. I may have
been in a measure indiscreet —what
boy hasn't, but the most of the
stories are lies—lies told in an at
tempt to blacken my character.
As a boy my life was blameless,
so far as I could make it. 1 was
never a goody-goody, but 1 was no

worse than many. As for women
and wine—lies, all lies.
If I had known the true charac
ter of my wife I would never have
married her. She was a woman of
the boulevards—a frequenter of
cases and other well known resorts.
She was fond of the gay life. Aft
er she had lived with me a while
she began to grow tired. I sup
pose that she was dissatisfied with
the quietude of my life —then she
needed money. She shot me—that
is all there is to It. * • ♦
“She Couldn’t Lie
Before My Face.’’
If I could look my wife in the
face when she testified before a
jury, she wouldn’t lie about this
thing. She'd have to tell the truth.
I guess it sounds aS though I were
seeking retribution, but I am not.
But I want her punished. I could
convince any jury.
If I were going to die this min
ute I'd swear she shot me. I’d
swear she shot me cold-bloodedly
and left me as I am. I was a man.
I was six feet four inches tall and
weighed 195 pounds. Now look at
me.
I reiterate that she shot me. She
shot me as I lay asleep because
she was tired of me and needed
money. She refused to ge< a doc
tor and she stuffed the telephone
with paper. The only reason she
didn't cut the line was because she
was afraid the telephone company
would make an immediate Investi
gation.
No matter what the outcome of
the trial is. I will take immediate
steps to obtain a divorce as soon
as possible.

"I Am Innocent." She Says
HER STORY:
From the beginning until the present,
Mrs. Daisy Ople Grace has held that she
is innocent of having shot her hus
band. From time to time she has inti
mated that she does know who did the
shooting, but has never made a defi
nite statement.
In regard to statements purporting
to have come from her husband, she
has. for the most part, taken refuge in
the belief that he did not authorize
them. The statements themselves she
denies.
Her version of the case, as* told to
reporters, is as follows:
The first Information of Eugene’s
having been shot came to me when
I was in Newnan. I left him sound
and well, so far as I knew.
A telegram came to Mrs. Hill and
told that Eugene had been found
wounded in his home on Eleventh
street. I was terribly shocked, and
expressed an immediate anxiety to
go back to Atlanta at once. It was
not until I had alighted from the
train that I learned of his having
accused me.
I went to the hospital and begged
him to keep me from prison by
telling the truth. He said nothing.
From time to time statements
were issued by him which accused
me of the most cold-blooded guilt.
I do not believe that he said all
that he was credited with having
said.

NEGRO BURGLAR SHOT
BY POLICEMAN WHOM
HE TRIED TO ATTACK
Policeman J. W. McWilliams, Jr., shot
and perhaps fatally wounded a negro
burglar, George Warner, in the store of
Morris & Thomas, 70 Currier street,
early this morning. The negro attack
ed the officer with an ice pick when he
had been cornered in the basement of
the store. McWilliams shot him three
times —in the head. In the breast and
through both legs. The negro is at
Grady hospital.
Warner has been driving an ice wag
on. Just six months ago he completed
a four-year term on the county chain
gang for burglary. He had burglar
ized the store of R. V. Martin, 242
Edgewood avenue, iast night, before his
run-in with the police, and got 100
pennies.
This is the second negro shot by Mc-
Williams in less than a year. He killed
Paul McDaniel, a negro caught bur
glarizing the store of C. H. McHan, 15
East avenue, last Thanksgiving.

deed having been done for money
fell flat with everybody. If the
marriage was a marriage for mon
ey, the idea existed with him. He
had no money. I furnished him with
money to start in business.
I knew Eugene before Mr. Ople,
my first husband, died.
IN THREE MINUTES I COULD
CLEAR MYSELF BEFORE A
JURY. IF HE WAS SHOT, HE
KNOWS WHO SHOT HIM. HE
KNOWS THAT I DIDN’T DO IT.
Here is what happened the day
of the shooting:
My husband was to go to Phila
delphia. While he was absent. I
was to go to Newnan and stay with
his mother. When Mr. Grace arose,
he complained of feeling ill. I left
the house at 12:15 o’clock. He was
still in his night clothes, and in
sisted that I should go. He had at
first intended going on the 11
o'clock train, but was feeling so bad
that he decided to wait until 3
o’clock. Mr. Grace never showed
up at the Terminal station, as he
promised, before I left, but I
thought nothing of it.
His Accusation.
Gave Her Horror.
I had no intimation that any
thing was wrong until T reached
Newnan. His parents had received
a telegram saying he was shot. I
was so distressed that I didn’t even
remove my hat and cloak. Mr. and
Mrs. Hill and I came back to At
lanta on the next train. It was bad
enough to learn suddenly that my
husband had been shot, but I was
horrified to learn that he had ac
cused me.
I did not lock the door to his
room when I left. The key was al
ways left in the outside of the
door, and when the door was locked
it was placed over the door. I us
ually kept it locked, in order to
keep the servants from meddling.
But as Mr. Grace was still in the
room the morning of March the sth,
I did not lock it. . . .
No matter what my husband has
said of me—if he has said any
thing—l will go to this trial with
out any bitterness toward him. My
whole purpose will be to clear my
self absolutely before the jury and
before all people.

SULTAN PERILED
IN POISON PLOT
Two Turkish Cabinet Ministers
Seriously Stricken at State
Dinner—Cooks Arrested.
BERLIN, July 27.—A poison plot
aimed at the sultan and which almost
caused the death of two of his cabinet
ministers has become known in Con
stantinople following a state dinner
at the Porte last night.
Cabinet Minister Kiammil Pasha and
Maiimud Mukhtar Pasha were the two
guests most seriously stricken. In the
midst of the feast they fell, writhing,
to the floor and only the hardest ef
forts of the court physicians saved
their lives.
As a result of the plot, the palace
cooks and all the attendants at the din
ner were placed under arrest and sub
jected to the severest form of examina
tion. It is said that several men of the
highest rank in public life have been
implicated by the servants’ confessions,
and that the government is fearful their
arrest will precipitate the revolution
which is threatening to disrupt the em
pire.
