calendar for the day. There were a
dozen cases set for the day, that of
the State vs Mrs. Daisy Grace, leading
off.

all prisoners be brought in. as some
desired to plead guilty. Several ne
groes. charged with various felonies,
were brought in. entered pleas of guilty
and were held over until the Grace case
should be disposed of. Will Thomas,
charged with assault to commit mur
der. the same crime charged to Mrs.
Grace, entered a plea of guilty and was

Grace’s Life Is
Changed Completely
Sim e Eugene 1! Grace awoke from a
stupor and found himself shot through
the ,-pinal cord, his life has been as
different from what it was before as
human intelligence could conceive.
In his sturdy young manhood and
through his days at Tech he was a
specimen of perfect physique. Persons
passing him on Atlanta streets com
mented on his physical perfection. He
had given little time to the thoughts
and pursuits of the indoor man. Life
for Grace was life tn the open. He hafl
little time to read or spend indoors in
any form of amusement. The perfect
health and good spirits given him
brought him a sunny disposition that
won to him hundreds of friends and
with them he spent many merry hours.
On March 5 he found himself shot
through or near the spinal column, and
unable to move his body below his

How Mrs. Grace Has
Lived Since Shooting
»
“One long night of terror, onl}’
broken by the sight of rny little son and
my old mother in Philadelphia and by
the words of sympathy sent me by At
lanta friends,” Is the way Mrs. Daisy
Grace describes he life since March 5
when she returned from Newnan, Ga..
i to face her husband’s accusation that
she had shot him. *
A wealthy and cultured woman, ae
! customed to every comfort of home, she
■ found herself on that day in jail. Jail-
I ers, trying to he gentle to the woman,
i t eplaced the trained se vants she had
had at her beck and call. Coarse ptls
i on food and a hard cot took the place
of all the domestic comforts she had
I known.
Then there was thrown on her life
the glare of publicity. The multitude
I demanded to know all about her past
life, and that was exposed and many
people said things about her that
caused her eats to burn in shame. She
stood it all with hardly a murmur, say
ing: "it will all come out clear at the
trial."
Released and Rearrested.
Tim day after the shooting Mrs.
Grace was released on bond, only to
find herself teat rested the next day and
again taken to tile Tower, where she
remained thirteen days. In the mean
time she was daily in conference with
Iler attorneys, who steadfastly declared
to the press that she would be acquit
ted.
I In March 19 Mrs. Grace obtained her
release on bond and left for Philadel
phia to straighten out her financial af
fairs. Grace’s attorneys declared that
she had tied and would never return to
’ face lie- trial. She did return within, a
few days.
At the railway -tation n great crowd
gathered one Sunday afternoon, the day
of her return, and waited until after
dark to get a glimpse of tile woman,
the moused in the Grace mystery.
A wild dash ill a taxicab through the
. struggling mass of humanity and she
arrived at the Kimball house, where
■ she had shaken from the trial all but a
handful of determined newspaper men.
Automobile rides with a nurse whom
. she had engaged gave her sonic of he:
, so. met- amusement ami strengthened
I her. but there was always the fear that
I she would be ,-eog'nized and followed
; by curious persons.
Public Favor Goes to Her.
Various theories of the shooting w,-i -
advanced about this time and public
opinions, always favorable to tile wom
’ an In distress, turned almost complete
ly to M:s. G: e. I’iu- people look- d
1 on her as t’m- law must do -innocent
■ until proved guilty.
Again, on April 16. Mr--. Grace was
i consigned to tile Tower. This came
1 after her preliminary hearing before
’ Justice Ridley. She remained there so:
nearly a month. Finally she was r<--
‘ leased again on bail and went to the
home of her nurse in West Eml.
In that quiet neighborhood she spent
I her time-in little domestic occupations.

RACE CLASH ENDS;
NEGROES IN Jill
Three White Men and Ten
Blacks Wounded in Outbreak
at Plainville. Ga.
CALHOUN. GA., July 29.—With ten
negroes in jail here, under guard, and
officers searching today for a few oth
ers who escaped, an end has been put
to the race rioting that stirred Gordon
county Saturday afternoon and night
and yesterday, when a. series of clashes
took place at Plainville, in the south
west part of this county. Each of the
ten negroes and three white men were
wounded. Some of the negroes were
shot and others clubbed.
The white meh are Sheriff C. N.
Owen, of Calhoun, shot In the face;
Ernest Johnson, of Plainville, shot in
the breast, and Robert Miller, of Plain
ville, with a flesh wound. Johnson’s
condition is considered critical. The
other two are not seriously hurt. It
is not thought any of the negroes are
fatally wounded.
The trouble had its inception when a
half-grown negro girl slapped a white
boy while at work in a peach orchard
near Plainville, This was followed by
an attack on the father of the negress
by several w hite youths when he came
to Plainville late Saturday afternoon.
The negroes in the town became rebel
lious and threatened vengeance. There
upon four of them were caught near
the depot and horsewhipped.
The negroes, drunk on "blind tiger”
whisky, armed and barricaded them
selves in a section house, threatening to
shoot any white man that appeared.
Warrants were sworn out, and Sheriff
Owen was called from Calhoun to ar
rest them. With a posse, he reached
Plainville about midnight, and a battle
ensued until 2 o’clock yesterday morn
ing. when the house was stormed and
the ten negroes Raptured.
In the meantime the sheriff of Eloyd
county was requested to send reinforce
ments, and another posse came from
Rome.
The negroes arrested were brought to
Calhoun ot daylight and placed in the
county jail, where a heavy guard was
maintained throughout the day and
night. Today only the sheriff’s depu
ties and jailers are guarding the pris
oners. Several persons from Plainville
went to Rome yesterday and secured
guns, and there were rumors that it
was planned to storm the jail, but no
attempt of that kind was made.
