Curious Spectators Find Sensations They Seek as the Famous Traqedy Is Unfolded in Court
WOMEN SEE A MARRIAGE LESSON IN THE GRACE TRIAL
A Graphic View of the Women at the
Hearing Who Find in It a “Big Show,”
Varying the Monotony of Dull Lives.
By DUDLEY GLASS.
If any spectator at the Grace trial
expected to be awed by the solemnity
c f the tribunal and thrilled at the. dra
matic stage setting—accused wife and
wounded husband glaring at each other
before the judge—he must have been
flli newhat disappointed.
The striking detail one couldn’t get
away from was the women in the audi
ft’ie. the poorly clad women who sat in
those rear seats breathing that fetid
atmosphere, surrounded by men of
every stamp, hearing little, seeing less
and apparently supremely happy de
apite the wilting of their garments and
the trickle of perspiration through the
powder on their cheeks.
There were perhaps 50 of them—some
eld enough to be grandmothers, some
girls not far In their teens, line wom
en bore a child of five, who fretted and
whined on her lap and begged to be
tiken outdoors again. There was a
jlttle girl who ran through the crowd
when the doors were opened, dodging
between the legs of the grownups, gain
ing ground by her very Insignificance,
Until she found a front seat by the
judge's stand.
Just Ordinary Women.
There were little groups of women,

en whose garb or manner stamped her

T.y y seemed just ordinary women,

v i- to their starved, sensation-hungry
souls what the grand opera is to the

of their lives.
\n 1 how little they saw and heard!
Mi.si of them were crowded into seats

They sat and waited, in the forlorn |

or perhaps satisfied with being merely '
in the same room with those famous '
characters immortalized by the papers.
I They were like the crowd which gath- .

Drama Strangely Dull.
But the drama itself was strangely
. dull and emotionless. I' pnn the wit

citizen’s suit or a negro in worn and
dusty garments answered such ques- i
tions as were put. waiting patiently I
while the young solicitor and the burly
trial lawyer for the defendant quarreled
over the wording of a phrase. There
- were questions seemingly without a
' 9h V°" ,ls importance, answers appar
entlj meaningless. Th.-re were half
angrt altercations betweefi th.- lawyers
. o\rt points bearing no meaning to the
auditor; flashes of rough wit fl9a cross
' questioner tried to ridi< .ffi. th,, witness
into tangling his testimony
And Mrs. Grac,.. CPn! ra , of .

“ 1 " •' -ttnionv became
’"UTtntable; when alm.,st foroidden
subjects were discussed with comment
bordering on buffoonery. Bu* still Mrs.
Grace leaned over her table, her dark
eves fixed Upon the face of the wit
ness, her check unmarked by blush or
paHor. i; v.-as as though all the smaller
things of lit,. been fnrgotu-n in th»--
' face ts th.. sr ,. ;l t question the tribunal
n<«d been called to answer.
And Eugene Grace, the "dying man”
,>f SO many newspaper extras; the man
who had descended into ;he shadow of
death: the hopeless cripple who would
never smile again -he lay on his cot
and laughed softly as his friends made
i comments on the case. He chuckled at
the sharp tilts between the counsel and
commented caustically upon bits of the
testimony. His face was brown, as
though he had been playing golf In the
sun. There was no trace of the pallor
which comes from long confinement
save in the slender hands, which were
white and emaciated. Grace seemed
the merriest man in all the room.
and \ allon declared Becker set the
stage for the murder and personally I
managed its details. Each swore he I
acted at the repeated direction of
Becker, and that Becker both before
i and after the crime assured them of
protection.
i '1 hose men gave to District Attorney
W hitman the complete chain of facts
leading up to the assassination. And in
doing so they pave.] the way to the
I most remarkable exposition of graft
that has ever been known.
All of the statements lead to men
higher up in the official scale than
Becker. They caused District Attorney
Whitman to state that lie was no
longer concerned for the little fish, but
was determined to get the bigger men
who were responsible for the direction
, of Becker.
They told how the services of big
Jack Zelig's red-handed murder band
had been called in to carry out Beck
er's sentence of death, and how the
whole startling .-rime had been com
mitted under the threat from Becket
that if the gamblers did not murder
Rosenthal. Becker would send them to
prison under "framed up" charges.
i For the telling of the murder story.
Rose. Webber and Vallon will get im
munity. They were called as witnesses
and testified before the grand jury,
which was called in extraordinary ses
sion last night to indict Becker.
Three Men Guarded
Through the Night.
All night long Rose, Webber and
■ Vallon .-amped in the office of Hugh
> Byrne, secretary to District Attorney
i Whitman. Detectives Leigh and Russo,
with Process Servers Kling and Zinn,
took turns guarding them. There was
no sleep for Webber. Intensely nerv
ous by nature, the man sat in a chair
and smoked cigarette after cigarette,
' alternately weeping, wiping his fore
head with a huge handkerchief and
staring vacantly into space. At that
L he said that it was the first good night
he had passed in weeks.
Becker Passes
Sleepless Night.
Becker passed a sleepless night in
cell No. 120 at the Tombs. He said
this morning:
"This is an awful plight for an inno
cent man to be in. i can't say any
thing more now."
The delicate health of his wife, who
is expecting the arrival of an heir,
weighed upon Becker quite as much as
the charge against, him. The man who
had jauntily twist'd a panama hat the
night before and smiled in the face of a !
charge of murder in the first degree
' was broken and unstrung.
When Police Commissioner Waldo
came to his office he was affected,
"Have you any statement to make?"
"Absolutely none,” was his reply.
"Don't you think that as the head of
tlic department of N< w York and in (
view of what has happened in the last
21 hours it is up to yen to say some

"1 do not."

lieved the bulb I rested in the spite.
The spinal cord would not be shown
in an X-ray. Air. Rosser's insistence
that the witness "speak English" In
stead of Latin phrase' occasioned some
a mu semen t.
Dr. Durr said Grace had no control
of his legs when the X-ray was taken.
He attributed this to the pressure of a
bony substance against the spinal cord.
The X-ray plates were admitted Ir.
evidence.
Tin? court took a recess here until
1:30 p. m.
So fearful for their seats were the
morning spectators at the trial that
they refused to leave the court room
during the recess period.
The same faces that peered over the
rail when court, opened this morning
were there when Judge Roan rapped for
order at 1:30 o'clock. The edges of tlie
crowd were swelled to a considerable
extent by a throng of men who dropped
in “just to look on for a few minutes.”
Quite a sensation was caused just
prior to the opening of court by a thin,
bedraggled old woman who forced her
way into court and demanded a seat.
Not finding any seats vacant, she made
her way to the inside of the rail. Here
she deliberately caught a man by the]
coat collar and jerked him from his I
chair. She then took the seat herself,]
At the afternoon session the patent
medicine bottles in question were ten
dered by the solicitor general. Airs.
Grace was missing from tier seat, but
she arrived a moment later.
Morris Prioleau, a relative of Eugene
Grace’!; family and an employee of the |
Southern Bell Telephone t'ompany, was
the first witness at the session.
Grace had not returned from the san
itarium to which lie had been taken
in tin ambulance at luncheon time He
had felt the effects of the heat at the
session.
Mrs. S. 1., Hill was recalled to the
stand, Air. Prioleau being taken down.
“Did you tell Airs. Grace "f any ac
cusation made against Iler”" she was
asked.
"No; I didn't know of anv," site re
plied
"Alt.-. Gt in, e was nut uul us my pres-
ence from the time she left Newnan
until midnight.
"Gone told me he had married Diisj'
on March S, 1911. in Now York. She
is about 30 years old."
On cross-examination. Alys. Hill said
Daisy bad told, her she had given Gene
a patent medicine that morning. She
didn't remember testifying to this be
fore Justice Ridley. She said Daisy
had told her Gene was feeling "par
alyzed" that morning and he seemed
to feel better after the medicine.
Heard at Depot That
Mrs. Grace Was Accused.
At the Terminal station two police
men met her. She and Mrs. Grace
did not ride to the police station in
the same vehicle. She hadn’t meant to
say they hadn't been separated at all.
"Didn't you know," asked Mr. Ros
ser. “that it was rumored around the
streets that Grace accused his wife?"
Mr. Dorsey objected. The court ruled
in favor of the question.
"I heard It at the depot." said Mrs.
Hill.
"Didn't Mrs. Grace have the same
opportunity ?”
"I don't know. A paper was shown
me. I don't know whether she saw a
paper or not.
"I don't know whether Daisy knew
whether she was suspected or not. Yes;
she went down the street with Morris
Prioleau, and two policemen followed
them.
Mr. Rosser gave a comical imitation
of Air. Prioleau. Airs. Grace and the
policemen.
Mr. Prioleau resumed the stand.
"I saw Mi's. Grace at the Terminal
station on the evening of .March 5," he
said.
"I said nothing to her about any ac
cusation against her. I was with her
all the way to the hospital.
"Nobody told her anything about the
accusation while 1 was with her. 1 was
with her in the room at St. Josephs."
Mr. Prioleau was extremely confident
I of his answers.
He was in the room at the hospital
j when Mrs. Grace confronted Grace. Mr.
Dorsey began to ask about the conver
sation. but the defense objected and
the Jury was sent out again.
“Mrs. Grace spoke first,” said the
witness. “She said: 'Gene, what are
these things you're saying about me?’
iHe replied: 'Daisy, why did you shoot
me?' "
.Mr. Rosser protested against Mr.
Dorsey 's leading tlie witness.
Conversation is
Barred From Jury.
"This witness, more than any other
man. perhaps, is the friend of Eugene
Gra<declined Mt. Rosser.
The court ruled that the evidence
could not go before the Jury.
The Juiy relumed tu R s bux and
the examination of Prioleau continued,
tin being questioned lie said:
"Nobody had said anything to Airs.
Grac about an accusation against her
until tlie time t went to Grace's room
with her.
“She told me Gene had had a cold
that day. and asked me what his con
dition was w ith r< ference to the cold.
"She asked me how the people had
got into tlie house and expressed worry
about the furniture.
"She said she wanted to go out and
.-pend the night and protect the fur
niture. This was before she had seen
her husband."
"Did she manifest any worry or so
licitude over her husband?"
The defense was on its feet, ob
jecting. and was sustained. Mr. Rosser
was persistently leading the witness.
After the question was put In proper
form, the witness answered:
"She asked about how badly Gene
was shot,
“Site said Grace had intended to go
to Philadelphia, and his failure to go
would put her In an embarrassing posi
tion."
Told Him She
Had Heart Trouble
"She told me sin was addicted to
heart trouble, and her keys wei <■ in a
handbag and her jewels in her bosom,
and if anything happened I must get
them and keep them safe.
"The question of Grace's being droyy
sy was not brought up.
“Preston Hill took'Mr. and Mrs. Hill
away from Mrs. Grace and me at the
station. Daisy saw them talking. She
asked what had come up to make Pres
ton take Gene's mother away from her.
She asked why we couldn't all go to
gether. She asked yvhat Preston was
telling Mrs. Hill.
"She told me J Ruffin, the serv
ant, must have shot Gene. She felt,
certain of it. She said they had quar
reled.
"Daisy never asked me yvhat the pa
pers were saying.
“At the police station Daisy told
Chief Lanford tliat the key to Glare's
room was kept in a glass boyvl down
stairs."
Mr Rosser cross-examined
Prioleau said all his conversation
with Mis. Grace was In a cab and
without witnesses. No, he hadn't looked
to see whether her waist bulged with
Jewelry. He didn't know whether the
furniture was the Graces’ or the
Kisers', owners of the house

The Probable Causes of the Tragedy
Speculated Upon by Two Women
as They Study Gene and Wife.
By T. B. SHERMAN.
The wife's outward composure, the
husband’s disdain, the tender care in
the face of the aged mother —each
made manifest in many different ways
throughout the course of the trial, play
with strange effect upon the heart
strings of the women spectators at the
trial of Daisy Opie Grace,
As for the men. they are there to sat
isfy an appetite for details about two
persons who have suddcnl.v been lifted
to the spotlight by a plethora of news
paper publicity. When the average man
knows the result of (lie Grace trial his
Interest soon will wane But no verdict
of the jury will ever satisfy the un
spoken queries which have arisen in
the mind of every woman who has read
of tile Grace case.
No matter what the trial brings
forth, the Grace case is bur a varia
tion of tlie domestic equation. The
Graces were incompatible, either by na
ture or through worldly circumstances
which arose early In their wedded life.
The wherefores of this incompatibility
-the reason for the climax whatever
it was- are the tilings about the Grace
case which disturb and eumpel the at
tent ion of thi \x om n.
But She Wants to Know.
"I o-iject to being e assed among the
‘idle curious,'” said well-dressed mid
dle-aged wi u.in v. ho sat in a front
sea, at the trial. Siu- was speaking to
a friend.
"Well, it'.-; hard for me to say why
I cam, ." said the friend, "I confess to
I his--I am not so much interested in
whether -lie shot him or not as 1 run
in the chain of circumstances which
brought about the shooting."
"Os Cours'." said th' middle-aged
woman, "there was tragedy in the
Grace home -tint much is sure. There
are a thousand possibilities. She may
have been undutiful or lie may have
been If so. wity’.’ Did their natures
interlock? Or did an outside circum
stance force itself in and disturb the
domestic l>al.-in< '•?
"If tile full details of the Grace case
were known 1 don't mean merely the
details which led directly to the shoot
ing—they would show a problem which
arises in the lives of every married
couple. In their ease, it might have
been primitive—they might have fall
en out about some petty tiling, or they
may not. have fallen out at all—it might
have al! been under the surface.
"But whatever the trouble was—it
arose because of ttie inability or ttie
failure of one of them to bear an equi
table part of th'- responsibilities of
married life. There are a million ways
in which this old, old formula can l>"
violated, in some instances you see a
man and woman, apparently fashioned
for each other. Both of them are gen
tle in spirit, both are considerate, troth
allow to each other the little necessary
privacies—and there is enough money
to keep the wolf at a safe distance from
the door. Yet there is no permanent
happiness, it may be that one of them
tried to do too much. It may be that
the stronger withheld from the weaker
certain matters which should have been
met by both of them together.
"And so it was witli the Graces I
am sure, regardles of what form it
took."
rn" him to the hospital, as tie had said.
They had only told him so. Witness
admitted that he had sworn to a thing
or tilings he didn’t know, except on
hearsay.
Witness didn’t -'-member that news
paper reporters came into the recep
tion room at the hospital. He couldn’t
remember a reporter trying to inter
view Mrs. G ace. Yes. hr- had earritrl
an "extra" into the n-i-i ption room
himseif. He iiad been out in the hall
for fifteen minutes. A lady. Mrs. Stall
ings, was talking to Mis. Grace. He
saw .Mrs. Grace crying. No. he didnt
know what she had ben told.
Prioleau’s statement that nobody
bad had a chance to tell Mrs. Grac
of her husband's accnsailons was com
pletely broken down 1» this cross
qu'-stioning.
Mrs. Grace Wanted
Policies Payable to Her.
Luther Williford said Mrs. Grace
told him she wanted Grace's insurance
policies payable to her instead of to his
estate. She said she wanted him to
take out an annuity policy.
Witness was shown two Penn Mutual
policies. This was late in 1911, He
couldn't state positively that the two
policies shown him today were the
same Grace had had. The two policies
had been for a total of $25,000.
Witness said his wife was a distant
relative, by marriage, to Eugene Grace,
Tracing the relationship was as in
volved as determining the age of "Ann,"
Witness said he had no idea why Mrs.
Grace had talked to him about insur
ance. He was not an Insurance man.
Mr. Rosser declared that Williford
was a partisan witness, in favor of the
prosecution. He had refused to tell
Mr. Rosser anything about the ease
but admitted that he had talked to So
licitor Dorsey, Air. Dorsey refused to
permit witness to recount what he had
told the solicitor.
Mr. Williford said Grace was present
when Mrs. Grace talked to him about
insurance. He hadn't paid much atten
tion to the conversation. He was dis
missed.
Mr, Dorsey desired to offer the poli
cies In evidence.
"Why?” asked the iimri.
"To prove the motive for murdering
this man," returned Mr. Dorsey. The
policies wen- ruled out, us the witness
Just then the bailiff rapped for or
der.
“The spectators will have to keep
quiet and stop interrupting the court,”
he bawled. The two women were silent
for a moment. At this particular mo
ment Mrs. Grace turned her head and
gazed for the barest part of a second
at the cot where her wounded husband
lay.
"Look at her—she can’t keep her
eyes off him,” whispered the younger
woman
"Yes," responded the middle-aged
woman. "Elementally she Is no differ
ent than she was the first day she saw
Eugene Grace. He fascinated her. The
two types point to that, clearly—”
“1 don't see how they ever fell in
love with each other,” said the younger
woman.
"She Was Fascinated.”
"I don't know that they did," said
the middle-aged woman. “But I can see
this. He had never known much of
her type of woman and she had never
seen much of this type of man. They
were novelties to each other. She is
clearly a woman of a whimsical nature.
She is the kind who could concentrate
her whole nature in the achieving of
one particular thing. He was tall and
good looking and with the unmistakable
marks of Southern breeding—he was a
new element in her life, she was fas
cinated—and still is, down at the bot
tom, regardless of what, she thinks she
thinks of him."
“And what of him? What did she
mean to him?"
"I don't believe that the emotions
which she stirred in him could have
been of a very firm texture,” answered
the middle-aged woman. “I don’t be
lieve that he was ever more than mere
ly Infatuated with her. And that. I
think, is in a. measure responsible for
the present situation.”
The women were silent for a long
period. They listened closely to the
evidence. Finally the middle-aged wom
an seemed to lose interest. As if pos
sessed by a sudden thought she nudged
her companion.
Then They Dissect the Men.
"A woman will always know what to
wear,” she said. "I’ll wager that Mrs.
Giace picked out the simplest gown she
could find- although it fits her horri
bly.”
“Yes,” agreed the other, “there are
lots of things which figure in a trial
besides the sworn evidence.”
"-But all mothers are just alike.
They all look the same, they ail act
tlm same. Their actions spring from
tlie one primitive animal impulse of
protection for their young. The fact
that Mrs. Grace's mother has rushed to
her daughter’s side proves nothing. If
her daughter were innocent as an angel
or black with guilt, her attitude would
be the same. It's beautiful, though.”
Tlie two women then fell to dissect
ing the men. The prosecuting attorney
was certainly very insistent for a lit
tle fellow —and how Mr. Rosser roared.
Neither one of them could understand
how such a benevolent looking man
as Judge Roan could sentence anybody
to prison. Both agreed, however, that
the jury was a very intelligent looking
body as a whole.
had not identified them.
Lew is S. Hill of Newnan, not a rela
tive of Grace, was next. He had made
a demand on Mrs. Grace's lawyers for
policies drawn in favor of Mrs. Grace,
i i** hadn I seen Airs. Grace about it.
Objection was made to his testifying
that lie bad made a demand on her
attorney.-.
Court Refuses to
Admit Evidence.
Mr. Dorsey said Mrs. Grace was in
the next room wherj the demand for
her policies was made His object was
to prove tli.u sfie tiad the policies and
wouldn't stiiT'nder them, even after
Grace was shot and had demanded
them. Tim court refused to admit the
evidence, as there was no proof that
Nir-. Grace, herself, had refused to give
up the policies. Witness had not heard
Mr. Moore talk to Airs. Grace.
Mr. Dorsey insisted that he was try
ing to show by a set of circumstances
that Airs. Grace shot her husband for
Ids insurance.
Mrs. Grace entered the room at 8:55
o’clock, accompanied, as on yesterday,
by C. W. Burke, a private detective.
She wore a large white panama hat
with a black velvet ribbon around it.
Her dress was of black silk, with low
shoes to match. Diamonds flashed irf
her ears. A bracelet with the insignia
of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity
was on her left wrist. She wore white
silk gloves and wielded a palm leaf fan
vigorously. Her face wore the marks
of the long ordeal she had gone through
the day before. She took her seat so
that her back would be turned toward
the spot which Grace’s cot had occu
pied'on the previous day.
"Oh, yes; I slept very well last night,”
she said. “No; I'm not worried a bit.
Os course, one's nerves suffer under
the strain of such a day. But the heat
was the worst of all. There never was
such awful heat before.”
Grace was borne into the court room
at 9:22 o'clock and placed in the same
position as on yesterday, looking to
ward the Jury and away from his wife’s
seat. Airs. Grace had retired from the
room for the recess and was not pres
ent when her husband was borne into
the room.
Mrs. Grace came In a moment later,
but did not glance toward her husband.
