Woman’s Lawyer
Escapes Grilling.
Mr-. Daisy Grace achieved an impor.
taut victory when her chief attorney,
• Luther Rosser, placed upon the stand
by the prosecution, was upheld In de
clining to answer any questions con
<erning his knowledge of the type
writer at the Grace home upon which
was said to have been written the mys
terious and sensational "alibi'’ letters.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Doisey
sought to question Mr. Rosser in an
evident effort to prove that there was
s typewriter in the Grace hottie, and
that Mrs. Grace might have written
upon ft the letters signed by Grace
which told of their happiness and of
Grace's departure and of the "bum
that he took home from the station
sfter seeing her a war. Ihe obvious
inference was to connect Mrs. G.ace
with these letters through hei use of
the typewriter.
Rosser said;
I decline io answer any question
loncerning the typewriter because it
would be a violation of confidence with
my client.”
The judg* upheld the lawyer, and the
prosecution, balked once more, again
delayed Its promised production oi the
sensational "alibi” letters " hich ' H
,<ays. were forged.
While the trial went on, Eugene Grace
fumed at the Piedmont sanitarium. Jhe
superintendent said he was no worse
this morning than when he < anv* to
Atlanta from Newnan two days ago.
and was perfectly able to be taken to
court.
He was kept in the sanitarium aw ail

the trial again.
The prosecution will probablv <
its case today. The defense will be
yery brief. The case w ill reach the jury
either tonight or early tomorrow, and
the verdict should be known before io

Mrs. Grace May
Take Stand Today.
A, large a crowd as usual was in
the court room today when the case
opened More women than on former
days were present, expecting to heat
Mrs. Grace tell her own story on the
stand. Whether or not they will be dis.
appointed remains to be seen, for coun
sel for the defense refused to state
when the case opened whetlifer they
would introduce Mrs. Grace or any wit
nesses whatever. They have kept the
slate's counsel absolutely In the dark
as to the line of defense.
That the defense has made prepara
tions to introduce witnesses in ease

the fact that Mrs. Martha Ulrich, moth,
vr of Mrs. Grace, has been put "under

A l"ng argument, with I be jury pres

a strenuous effort to prove that the
Graces possessed n typewriter formerly
owned by Paul elements, and upon
which two mysterious letters had been
written. The context of these letters
has not been made public, but they are

Lewis Hill took the stand for the

He said that Mrs. Grace told him at

that her husband was at St. Josephs.
Sensational Letters
Now Looming Up.
V\ Hues- identified a letter as one he
had seen at St. Josephs on March 7,
two days after tlie shooting It had
been in an envelope identified by wit
ness yesterday. The two typewritten
letters were then shown him. He said
one of them had been in the same en
velope witli the note he had just Iden
tified. No view as to the real impor
tance of tlie letters could be gained
ft am the questioning The state seems
to place tremendous importance upon
these documents.
Mr Rosser asked whose handwriting
teas on the note. Tlie state objected
Witness could "lily state his opinion
Defense tried to prove the note was
written Uy Grace.
Legal authorities were read to settle
the point Witness had identified
Grace’s writing yesterday. The steno
graphic report was consulted, after a
hot debate. The state was vigorously
combatting any effort to have the writ
ing on the pencilled uole identified as
Eugene Grace's
Witness was permitted to testify. He
admitted knowing G'ace’s signature,
but couldn't say as to his writing.
Rosser Accuses
Dorsey of Tyranny.
Witness couldn't swear that signa
ture to letter in evidence was that of
Grace lie didn't believe it was
He had nevei seen a lettei just
signed "Gene." Ali he had seen had
been signed “E. H Grace." The word
"Giace" was ihe word by which lie
could identify Grace's writing
A half hour was consumed in a go
ing whether ih<- witness could compare
the letter with others known to be
Grace's.
Mr Dorses protested at tiie defense's
producing title's of which the state
bad not been informed. He claimed
that the jury would be misled. Tne de
fense would not state whether o not i
thev intended to offer the letters in :
evidence.
Mr. Rosser insisted that he wanted t
to show the witness Grace's signa. ui"
and ascertain whether or not the pen
cilled note was written by Eugene
Grace The court seemed in doubt as
to the‘proper ruling Mr. Rosser
chaiged that Mr Dorsey was using the
rule as the •grossest tyranny” against
the defense
Mr. Dorses said he merely wanltd
•.lie rule of the statute on evidence ap
plied. He didn't want the court to he
confused.
Defense Loses
In Letter Fight.
It came out in the discussion that
one of lite mysterious '.‘lters, "Exhibit
B." was one written by Grace to Paul
Clements in reply to one written to
Grace by t'lemegis It is presumed
that Illis letter is merely in evidence ns
a basis for comparison with a letter of
real importune- and asserted to lie a
forgery.
Mr. Rosser said he wished to offer
the witness one signature of Grace to
refresh -his memory. He wished to
make the witne.-s prove that he really
did know Grace's signature. The cour'
ruled against the defense and the wit
ness was dismissed.
C. A Beauchamp was the next wit
ness Calls for "Bokamp" failed to get
him Neither did calls for "Beecham.'
He was not in the court house. The
bailiff was sent to the Remington
Typewriter Company’s office for him.

said he hud been shown the letters be
fore.
AVitne-s had'examined letters unde:

letters were W'itten on the same ma
chine. because the letter "D" was light
er on one side than on the other, and
there were other marks to prove tiie
statement. There were, no two use:!
machines alike, any more than any two
grains of popcorn are alike.'
Witness said "B” was written first.
They were both written on a Smith
Premier, mode! 2 or model 4.
On < ross-examtnation witness said
lie believed the two were written on
the same machine. No, he couldn't
swear positively.
Mr. Rosser offered him a document
and asked whether it had been done
on a Smith Premier.
Witness couldn't say Tiie testimony
was much the same as that of H. M.
Ashe on the previous day.
Witness admitted he couldn't tell
which was written first. The ribbon
might have been changed. He was dis
missed.
Says Grace Has
Not Improved.
Dr. Willis Jones, one of Grace's sur
geons. was called to tile stand.
Dr. Jones examined Grace yesterday.
He was asked Grace's condition. De
fense objected. His condition today
was in elevant. The objection was over,
ruled.
Grace was absolutely paralyzed yes
terday fiom his waist down. He has
lost ground sim e March ■’>. A pistol
wound was responsible for his condi
tion Tiie bullet was still in the man’s
body Dr Jones was dismissed.
Tile state tendered in evidence a le
gal document. Tiie defense objected
and the jury was ordered out. it was
a iga.-e signed by Grace and Mrs. John
Kiser. Mr. Rosser held it was not rel
evant Mr. Dorsey contended Hint the
| signature of Grace had been proved.
Mr. Rosser denied this. Mr Dorsey
couldn’t remember which witness had
proven the signature. Defense insisted
the le.i.-’ was not in order. Mi. Dor
sey Insisted tiiat it was. because it had
stfpuini lons ar to the < aie of furniture
and because it appears to have been
written on January 9, 1912, and two
days after tills, nt least, Mrs. Grace
knew s .e was going to occupy 29 West
Eleventh street. He wanted to prove
that Mrs. Grace was responsible for the
furniture and that she expressed more
solicitude for its damage than she had
for her wounded husband.
Dorsey Says Site
Thought Out Plans.
Mr. Dorsey insisted that the woman
was eo mercenary that she had thought
out all her plans for shooting' Grace
even before she left the Boulevard
home, where the typewriter was at
hand. He asserted that she had used
the typewriter even then, long before
the shooting, to forward her plans. He
argued that her worry over her hus
band's financial welfare and the dam
age to the furniture was a matter of
evidence in the chain against Mrs.
Grace. He held that her use of doubled
sheets, her oilcloth on the bed. was a
m\r ’enary care for the furniture far
above her love for her husband. "This
itoman showed 100 times the solicitude
for the furniture and property that she
did for her wounded husband," de
clared the solicitor."
The court ruled out tiie lease
Marriage Certificate
Offered in Eiddence.
The siate tendered a marriage cer
tificate. The defense said it could not !
be offered as evidence, but offered no
objection to the certificate being ten
dered. It was dated at Now Orleans
on May 10, 1911. It was shown to the
jury. This was the real marriage, the
ceremony performed in New York hav
ing been, it is alleged, a false and Il
legal ceremony.
Mrs. Lewis Hill was sworn. She said
Mrs. Grace told her. during the holi
days. that she was going to leave her
home on the Boulevard.
Mr. Dorsey again desired to tender
the noted letters as evidence, and again
the jury was sent cut while the dis- 1
eussion ensued
The papers In question were
The lease of the Eleventh street
home.
Two letters. A and H. and their en
velopes
The letter "A" was in Irief, n« fo’

My D«ar Wife Daisy:
After saving good-bye to you at
the station today I ran into ar. old
friend fellow of mine from Charles
ton, S. C. He was down and out.
My heart went out to him. He
was dead broke. It is a pitiful
story. He is out of a job. I’m go
ing to take him home with me. give
him a bath and let him sleep all
night with me. He can wear a suit
of my c'othes, for he is a tall fel
low.
I'm sorry I was delayed and
missed my tain to Philadelphia,
which will throw me a day late
going and coming back You bring
mother back to Atlanta with you
instead of waiting for me to corne
to Newnan. Hope you wrote to
your mother. With all my Icvc,
GENE.
This letter was not dated and the
text and signature were written on a
typewriter.
Th. note in pencil was then read to
the court, it said, briefly:
My Own Darling Wife:
After I put you on the train I
got left. I shall be a day late
getting back. Shall bring you
something nice. Dear girl, my
friend is here at the house with
me now. I’ve been telling him how
sweet you are. I'm sorry for every
thing I said. I shall be as good as
I know how. With a billion kisses,
GENE.
This note w.is written and signed in
I pencil.
Declares Mrs. Grace
Wrote the Letters.
Mr. Dorsey argued, in tin absence of
the jury, that lie desired to prove that
these letters, written he contended, by
Mrs. Grace and not by her husband,
constituted a part of her plan to shoot
her husband. He maintained that the
typewritten letter had been written as j
early as January. before the Graces I
lift their Boulevard home, on the
Smith Premier machine In that house.
He as-erted that this letter, in the
same envelope with tiie pencilled noli,
: were sent to Newnan »n the day Grace
'v. as shot, ad<lr. ii to Mrs Daisy
I Grace They went by mistake to Mrs
i'leveland Orr.
Was She Betrayed
By An Accident?
Instead of sending them l<> Mrs
G .'ice, |,> (hem o Mrs H.ll .T
Atlintu and the; w> re turned over to
| Eug‘ in- Grace nt the hospital a:. :
thence came into the hands of the state.
-• It is the purpose of the state toprove
that Mrs. Grace wrote these letters in
the hope of fixing the murder of he
husband upon this unknown friend who
was. as shown in the letters, taken into
his home. The failure to kill Grace and
the accidental going'astray of the let
ters sent to Mrs. Grace by herself, as
the state claims, exposed the plot.
Here’s the Plot
As State Sees It.
These letters constitute the most sig
nificant testimony yet offered by the
prosecution. It will be the purpose of
the state to show that the letters were
prepared by Mrs. Grace; that “the man.
Grace’s friend," was brought into the
letters so that suspicion would fall upon
him (“Grace's friend”! when Grace's
body was found.
It is the claim of the prosecution that
these letters were mailed by Mrs.
Grace, went to Newnan and were sent
back to Atlanta by Mrs. Cleveland Orr.
of Newnan, and fell into the hands of
Mrs. Hill. The letters reached Newnan
the day Grace was shot, the postmark
of receipt being 7:30 p. m.
Mr. Rosser in objecting to the let
ters as evidence claimed that no evi
dence had been introduced which
showed directly or by circumstance that
Mrs. Grace wrote or supervised the
writing of the letters.
Mr. Rosser contended that the letters
would show that they had been mailed
after Mrs. Grace left Atlanta, which
ruled 04tt the possibility of her having
mailed the letters.
When the afternoon session was re
sumed Colonel Rosser again took up
his argument seeking to exclude the
letters as evidence.
Branch Ma-kes Plea
Against Letters.
J. A. Branch, counsel for defense,
then took up the argument. Mr. Branch
had been a silent adviser in the trial
prior to this.
It was Mr. Branch's understanding
that before documentary evidence
could be introduced some reasonable
basis should be shown. If the letters
were spurious, chargeable to Mrs.
Grace, as the prosecution claimed, -aid
Mr. Btanch some connection between
her and the letters had to be shown.
Even if it were proven that Grace did
not mail the letters that did not neces
sarily mean that Mrs. Grace was the
only person who could have mailed
the hi.
Mr. Branch brought out the further
point that the letters were incompetent
because Grace had furnished them to
the prosecution, which was agaln't the
law. T'ne law, claimed Mr. Branch,
said that a husband could not "give
evident e" against his wife. In hand
ing over the letters Grace was "giving
evidence” against his wife.
Solicitor Charges
A Diabolical Plot.
Mr. Dorsey claimed that the physical
circumstances —the fact that Eugene
H. Grace was found shot, in a locked
Ohm about 1 o'clock —made it impos
sible for him to have mailed the Lt
t"i;.
In a fiery speech Mr. Dorsey went on
to convince the court that the letter
was a part of the "Res Gestae" —the
Death Plot."
The solicitor said that the admissi
bility of the letters was founded upon
such a well-recognized and fundamen
tal principle of law that common sense
should dictate that they be allowed.
He repeated that the letters were a
part of "a diabolical crime planned by
this woman."
Court Decides
Letters Admissible.
Judge Roan decided that the letters
should be admitted. He stated, how
ever. that if it were proved that Grace
wrote tlie letters that he would in his
charge direct the jury to disregard the
letters.
The admission of the tetters was a
pronounced victory for the prosecution.
This point was bitterly fought by both
sides.
In bringing out the intricacies <>f -tlie
issue Solicitor Dorsey made an eloquent
and forcifully logical speech.
The letters were then read to the
jury by Lamar Hill.
The court said he had not intended
to admit the (‘loments letter, a type
written letter which was used to com
pare the typewriting on the "friend”
letter. Mr. Rosser asked that the jury
be sent out while this point was taken
up, and again the lawyers launched
into an argument over the admission of
this letter.
States Loses As
To One Letter.
Mr. Dorsey, perspiring from his suc
cessful efforts in th" previous case and
the terrific heat of the afternoon, made
an earnest appeal for the admission
of 4he ('laments letter, to prove that
the “down and out" letter had been
written at tlie North Boulevard home
of the Graces, long before the a.tual
commission of the crime—at a time
when the life insurance was in force.
He wanted to show that Daisy had
planned her crime long before its ac
tual cornmissii n
The court ruled against this letter,
thus considerably weakening the state's
case in so far as the proof that the
Grace letter was written on the same
machine is (or.cerned. Hut the jury
heard the experts declare that both let.
| ters "A" and "B” hud been written on
| the same Smith Premier No. 2.
Tlie admission of the two important
letters probably means that the de
fense will decide to put Mrs. Grave
upon the stand tomorrow. The letters |
add so much to the chain of circum
stance that the defense will be forced
to exercise every means to combat
them
But it has by no means been proven
that Daisy Gnu e wrote or mailed the
| letters in question. The court must
I finally pass upon that, and unless it
Is (dearly proven that she wrote them

The court instructed the offi.,

licitor said.
Detective G. C. Bullard, the offi.
prosecutor in the case, was put (11 ,

was met by friends. They got in
and drove to St. Josephs. Neithvi .. .

afterward.
Declares Wife

Mrs. Grace went into a waiting r..,,'n
He and Doyle waited out on th.- p.,1,
He didn’t have a view of Mrs.
from the porch. There was a lad.
there. Mr. Kiser and Morri- 1'.i,.„
He was Drusen' at the meeting
Grace and his wife.
"Who was first to speak?”
"She did.”
"What did she say?"
Mr. Rosser Objected. The jur" warn
out again. It was the old question ut>
again, of whether or not tm jur..
hear the statement that Mr- G ,
made the first reference to Gene's m .-
sation against her.
“The first words Mrs. Gnu . - ,
were. 'How -did this happen. G n ■
What's this you’ve been saying agiirro
me?’” testified tiie witness, when
jury was out of the room.
"Mrs. Grace walked off to the
of the bed and stood there. She
not kiss him.
"Grace said. 'Daisy, didn't you ;<
me?’ She said, 'No, why should 1
shoot you? You're not in your right
mind.’
"Grace said, 'Yes. you shot me rnd
left me locked up.'
"Mrs. Grace said. If you say : v
again you’ll never see me again.
“Grace said, 'Daisy I first thought
you might have shot me in a dr. im.
When you were ta'king in your sl.-e;,.
this morning you were saying ‘Opi<.
Opie. why did you come to take n>e
back ?' "
The defense objected to all this . n
versation. Tlie state cared only f.r
the first words spoken by Mrs Grace.
The court ruled out all the conversa
tion in the hospital except that part
where she said “What's this you'r- say
ing about me?” The defense then in
sisted that the whole conversation I,"
heard, and this was agreed upon.
Jury at Last Hears
Grace’s Accusation.
Mr. Bullard was then question as to
Mrs. Grace’s acts and words at i "
police station
Mrs. Grace said Grave had tak. i
quinine and two patent medicines to
night before. .He had planned t" g"
to Philadelphia that morning, but h"
was sick that day.
The jury returned at this point, and
the solicitor took up in their present
the questions about the Grace accusa
tions. Mr. Bullard repeated 'o tin- j"
the words of Mrs. Grace and his reply.
This was the first evlaenve buoi.
jury of Grace’s accusation against hi"
wife. Mr. Dorsey then switch'd to 1 •
police station evidence, without fol
lowing up the further conversation

pital. He ’had wim his Second g"
point of the day in getting btfoi" th"
jury the evidence that Mrs. 'Grace 1
asked Gene about his accusation, when,
they contend, she t.ad not m- a
it by any person. The state considei

Witness described the "Third De

She said Gene Was in bed; looking a
her when her dress was being buttoned
