SENSATIONAL LETTERS
IN GRACE CASE RELIED
UPON 10 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
by Eugene Grace, but according to the state, actually written by his
wife.
Before this startling development came Mrs. Grace had won iin-
I ortant* victories in the ruling out of evidence regarding her hus
band’s insurance policies and of a conversation in which Grace was
said to have accused her of the shooting. Grace himself was lying at
the Piedmont Sanitarium, barred from the trial by order of his physi
sians because of an imminent complete breakdown. His temperature
had risen tc 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. lie was an
agent 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 all limners.
Mr. Dorsey calling one letter "A” and
another ’ B” asked which letter was the
older. Mr. Ashe replied that “A” was
written first.
Tn order to test Mr. Ashe’s skill, Col
onel Rossel pulled a letter out of his
pocket and asked the witness what
typewriter it was written on. He said
he thought it was a "Smith-Premier.''
but was unable to swear unless he
could be allowed to make comparisons.
Still another letter was produced as
a test letter. Mr. Ashe called the spec
imen an "Underwood” specimen. The
letters “A” and “B” were supposed to
have been written by Eugene Grace on
n typewriter.
Mr. Rosser plied the witness with a
'oily of questions, seeking to find out
the methods Mr. Ashe used in arriving
■it a conclusion as to a typewriter age.
tyie, etc.
The typewriter testimony caused
unite a flurry in the court room. The
intention of the prosecution was to
trace the letters to Grace.
The two letters involved this aft
ernoon are believed to form one of the
most important links in the chain
against Mrs. Grace.
One is supposed to be a letter Daisy
Persuaded Grace to write to his mother
on the eve of the shooting. It spoke
of the cordial relations between Gene
and Daisy. It was charged by Grace
■me time ago that she had persuaded
him to write It.
The other, it will be asserted, is a
rgery, written to a friend, supposedly
I'.v Grace. It is said that it tells of
Brave's having seen Daisy off on the
ruin and his sorrow at having to spend
the night away from her. It tells, it
is asserted, that Grace had just met
an old “bum” at the train, and express
's his intention of dressing him in de
' nt clothes and taking him home to
mend the night. It will be asserted.
' is rumored, that the state will try
'o prove that this letter was •written by
■Mrs. Grace, signed with her husband’s
me, in an effort to have the letter
'me to light later and show that this
11 titlous "bum" murdered Grave at Ills
■me in the night.
Perhaps the most interesting details
the state's testimony today was the
'■> itement of Dr. W. S. Goldsmith as to

a living soul had intimated to her that
she was accused or suspected of the
crime."
But counsel for the defendant will
show. upon cross-examination, that on
the afternoon of the shooting the At
lanta newspapers published in late ex
tra editions the fact that Grace had
accused his wife of shooting him: that
the newsboys were crying it on the
streets; that reporters met the ac
cused woman at the train and ques
tioned her as to her husband’s charges.
They declare they will break down the
statement of Mr. Dorsey that the state’s
witnesses were with Mrs. Grace every
moment of her trip from Newnan to
Atlanta and the hospital, and that
Grace’s accusation had carefully been
kept from her.
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 Ruffin 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 and hurried them from the
house.
That she had locked the doors
upstairs leading into Grace’s room
and had gone to Newnan, leaving
him locked in.
That she had persuaded him to
