LETTERS NEW BOMB IN GRACE CASE -j-a-J- +•+ *»+ +»-J- +»A CRACKERS WIN OPENING GAME OF DOUBLE-HEADER FROM PELICANS AT PONCEY PARK \ > — ■' 1 ' The Atlanta Georgian VOL. X. NO. 262. 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 ' conversation between the wounded ■ sband and hjs wife when she faced ’Mm at the hospital. The state’s coun ’• I insisted that the surgeon had testl -1 <1 that Mrs. Grace was first to broach " subject of hi* accusation We shall show, your honor,” de led Mr. Dorsey, "that Daisy Grace ed her husband and upbraided him accusing her of the deed when not Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results 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 Continued on Page Two. LOOK FOR THIS MAN! He is .John F.
