ffITIDIJL LETTERS
IS BBACE CASE BELIED
UPON TO EXPOSE PLOT
Letters which are relied upon to furnish the real sensations of the
Grace case were brought into the spotlight for the first time this aft
ernoon at the trial of Mrs. Daisy Grace for the shooting of her hus
band, Eugene.
The prosecution, it is said, plans to show that these letters were
written by Mrs. Grace to establish an alibi and to point suspicion
away from her toward a fictitious character she designated as a
‘' bum. ’ ’
One of them is declared to be a forgery purporting to be written
ly Kugene Grace, but according to the state, actually written by his
wife.
Before this startling development came Mrs. Grace had won im
portant victories in the ruling out of evidence regarding her hus
band's insurance policies and of a conversation in which Grace was
;>aid to have accused her of the shooting. Grace himself was lying at
The Piedmont Sanitarium, barred from the trial by order of his physi
cians because of an imminent complete breakdown. His temperature
had risen to over 103, and he showed the effects of the ordeal plainly.
interest was intense at the afternoon session.
11. M. Ashe, typewriter mer
chant. was called. He was an
atreiit for L. C. Smith typewriters.
The solicitor asked Mr. Ashe to
• tell what typwriter a letter he
produced was written on. He said
a ‘■Smith-Premier.’’ Another let
ter was produced. The solicitor
asked him if the second was writ
ten on the same typewriter. It
was his opinion that both letters
were written on the same type
writer.
Letters Relief On
To Reveal Plot.
Neither of the letters had been in
troduced as evidence, and the air of
mystery around both aroused the cu
riosity of al! li.-xners.
Mr. Dorsey lading one letter “A" and
iriotlier "R" asked which letter was the
Mi r Mr. Ashe replied tiiat "A" was
written first.
ii order to test Mr. Ashe's skill, Col
onel Rossel pulled a letter out of his
I"" ket and asked the witness what
tris-writer it was written on. He said
thought it was a “Smith-Premier,”
but was unable to swear unless he
i wild be allowed to make comparisons.
Still another letter was produced as
a I'-st letter. Mr. Ashe called the spec
ini'n in “Tinderwood" specimen. The
1- tii< “A” and “B” were supposed to
1 r.ve been written by Eugene Grace on
a typewriter.
■dr. Rosser plied the witness with a
' 1 "f questions. seeking to find out
methods Mr. Ashe used in arriving
conclusion as to a typewriter age,
■ etc.
i' typewriter testimony caused
' is flurry in the court room. The
unt ion of the prosecution was to
’ “ the letters to Grace.
The two letters involved this aft
' are believed to form one of the
1 " t important links in the chain
last Mrs. Grace.
1 ’m- is supposed to be a letter Daisy
1 mded Grace to write to his mother
"ii ilie eve of the shooting. It spoke
of the cordial relations between Gene
and Daisy. It was charged by Grace
si’ine time ago that she had persuaded
bin to write it.
'be other, it will be asserted, is a
1 "i o-ry, written to a friend, supposedly
b - Grace. It is said that it tells of
Grace’s having seen Daisy off on the
,r in and his sorrow at having to spend
■" night away from her. It tells, it
’ asserted, that Grace had just met
111 “Id "bum" at the train, and express
' - lii- intention of dressing him in de
nt clothes and taking him home to
nd the night. It will be asserted,
it is rumored, that the state will try
prove that this letter was written by
' Grace, signed with her husband's
n ne in an effort to have the letter
to light later and show that this
b' tltious "bum" murdered Grace at his
"" in tlie night.
Typewriter in House
Rented to Graces.
i ’til dements was the next witness.
H ’ had lived in North Boulevard »nd
rented tlie Graces a furnished

"t upon which the letter sin ques
had been written, according to
"nony of Mr Ashe

' n person," said Mr. Dorsey "We
' show its connection with Mrs.

Grace."
The witness was excused. The ob
ject of the testimnoy was not clear.
The letters were withheld from the
jury until after a consultation to be
held after the close of the session.
William J. Franklin, of the Penn Mu
tual Life Insurance company, was
called as a witness. He identified two
policies, totalling $25,000, as those de
livered to Mr. Grace early in January.
Subsequently they were cancelled. This
was after the shooting of Grace.
On cross-examination he said the
words “not taken" on the policies were
not put on in the Penn Mutual office.
The witness did not know whether they
were cancelled because of false state
ments made by Eugene Grace.
Colquitt Carter, a neighbor to the
Graces, was next called.
Saw Mrs. Grace at
Lawyers’ Office.
Mr. Carter said lie was present at
John W Moore's office on the day after
the shooting or two days after. Mrs.
Grace was in the office. Mr. Hill came
to the office and talked to Mr. Moore.
Mrs. Grace was in the left-hand office.
This was to establish the fact that
Mrs. Grace had refused to surrender
the insurance policies when Hill de
manded them through her attorney.
Mr. Carter said he was among the
first persons athe Grace home when the
alarm was given. He went up and
spoke to Grace. He asked somebody to
telephone for a doctor. The negro.
Ruffin, was in the house. Mr. Carter
had gone to the hospital. He saw Mrs.
Grace come in. Mr. Will Kiser was
there. He saw several people there.
He was excused.
Lewis H. Hill resumed the stand.
He had seen Mr. Carter at Mr. Moore's
office. This was the time he had de
manded tlie policies
The court still refused to permit a
question as to whether the demand for
the insurance policies had been refused
by Mrs. Grace.
The policies, in which Mrs. Grace was
the beneficiary, were admitted as evi
dence. Mr. Dorsey called the attention
of the jury to them and their dates.
One was for SIO,OOO, the other for $15,-
000. They were dated in 1911.
G. A. February, stenographer at the
city detectives office, was next. He was
present when Mrs. Daisy Grace made
her statement to Chief Lanford.
Mr. Dorsey desired to tender as evi
dence the statement taken by Mr. Feb
ruary. The latter identified the report
ho had written. The defense objected,
as none of Mrs. Grace’s counsel had
been present to cross-examine her. The
court ruled that the witness might use
the deposition to refresh his memory
but tlie document itself could not be
received as evidence.
Mr. Rosser urged that a recess be
taken.
Gentlemen, of the jury, do you wish
to go on and finish this case tonight?”
asked the court.
All the lawyers urged a recess. It
was 4:30 p. m.. and the case was ad
journed until 9 o’clock tomorrow.
The state, through its succession of
witnesses, is endeavoring to weave a
web of evidence about Mrs. Grace, from
her instructions to the servants to re
main away from her husband's room,
to her actions when she confronted him
in the hospital. Here, briefly, are the
points which the state expects to prove
by its witnesses:
That Grace was drugged and
wounded when Martha ..utiin laid
the fire in his room on the morn
ing of March 5.
That Mrs. Grace instructed the
servants to take their day off that
day amt hurried them from the
house
That she had locked the doors
upstairs leading Into Graces room
and had gone to Newnan, leaving
him locked in.
That she had persuaded him to
