VOL. XI. NO. 4.

SHOT AT

Declares Pistol Report Was at

WOUNDED HUSBAND IS IN

From Spine—Paralyzed
Limbs Show Life.
An amazing aftermath of the Grace
case came today when Solicitor Gen
eral Hugh M. Dorsey, who led the pros
ecution of Mrs. Daisy E. Grace, de
clared that while lying abed in his
apartments across the street from the
Grace home at No. 29 West Eleventh
street he heard a shot fired —the shot,
very probably, which wounded Eugene
Grace —and that it was fired between
5 and 6 o'clock in the morning.
Daisy Grace and the defense declared
that Grace was not shot until after 11
o’clock on the morning of March 5.
Upon this plea the whole defense was
built.
Solicitor Dorsey declares he would
have gone upon the witness stand tn
give this vital evidence which might
have changed the whole trend of the
trial but eminent lawyers and judges
advised him that since he was prose
cuting Mrs. Grace such a dramatic
coup, though perfectly legal, would
have been unwise.
Hears Crack of
Pistol Distinctly.
At the time that Grace was shot
in his bed room on the morning of
March 5 Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey were in
bed in their rooms on the second floor
of the Goldsmith apartment house,
across the street.
"I had gone to bed at the usual hour
on the night of March 4,” said the so
licitor, "but I tossed restlessly all night
and I was still lying in bed wide awake
just as the sky began to lighten and
the first gray streaks of daybreak came
through the half-opened window of our
apartment. My wife was sleeping
soundly.
"Suddenly I heard the crack of a pis
tol shot and from where I lay I could
tell that it came from the direction of
the Grace house across the street.
When Kiser had lived there neighbors
had told of his firing shots often to
scare away cats or dogs at night, and
so I did not arise from my bed at the
clear sound of the pistol, but lay stlil
waiting and listening for more shots.
None came. Everything was instantly
quiet again and I lay on my bed sleep
lessly for half an hour more, when I
heard the milk man come to the house
and place the bottles in the doorway.
That is how 1 fix the time so definitely.
It could not have been after 6 o’clock
that morning when 1 heard the pistol
report. It was somewhere between halt
past 5 and 6 o’clock.
“Curiously enough,’’ said Mr. Dor
sey, “I thought no more of the shot I
had heard until two days afterward
when officers consulted me about the
case and gave into my possession the
two 'alibi letters’ they had found in the
Grace house and seized. Then it dawned
suddenly upon me that the report
heard in the early morning was the
shot of the pistol that had wounded
Grace. I knew in my own heart that.
Grace had not been shot after 10
o'clock, as the defense even was. then
claiming. Upon my own responsibility
I felt safe and sure in ordering the re
arrest of Mrs. Grace.
"Then, of course, came the prepara
tion for the trial. I was, through my
office, chief prosecutor of Mrs. Grace.
My evidence, my testimony as to the
hearing of that shot and the time 1
heard it in the morning I knew would
be vital—would go far toward disprov
ing if it did not absolutely disprove
the whole contention of the defense
and the woman’s own statement that
her husband had not been shot until
after 11 o’clock. But that very fact of
being prosecutor placed me in a re
markable position. Besides. I could not
absolutely swear that it was on the
morning of March 5 that the shot I
heard rang out. In my own heart I

f
Prosecutor Now Bending Ef
forts to Substantiate Rosen
thal Case Confessions.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. —It was learned
today that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with
the assistance of James B. Reynolds,
assistant district attorney, for the past
year has been operating a pretended
disorderly house in the heart of the
white light district for the purpose of
securing evidence against police offi
cials, politicians and the procurers of
young girls. Men who were dictating
its management never appeared at the
house, which is located in the West
Forties. The orders were carried but
by a manageress and her assistants.
One of the men associated with
Rockefeller is said to be Clifford E. Roe,
of Chicago, who aided in the white
slave Investigation two years ago. Later
Roe went to Chicago and assisted Fed
eral District Attorney Sims in a cam
paign against white slave traffic there.
Three Resorts
Conducted by Burns.
“I have collected evidence which will
assist District Attorney Whitman in
obtaining many indictments.”
This statement was made today by
Detective W. J. Burns, who has been
investigating police graft in this city.
Switching from his denial of yesterday.
Burns admitted today that he had run
two disorderly houses and one gam
bling establishment In this city in order
to trap grafters.
“It is a fact,” said Burns, “that I
operated two disorderly houses and a
gambling place in order to get Evi
dence. Likewise. I had detectives pos
ing as waiters in a Broadway hotel
who stood near police officers and
overheard what they said concerning
certain deals. Not only this, but I also
had a telegraphone installed In a room
where politicians played poker and we
have all of their conversation. I have
a great deal of other evidence also."
A sensation was caused by a report
that Mr. Rockefeller has turned over
to the district attorney’s office testi
mony showing that a police inspector
and a civilian confederate of the lead
ers of the "police system” collected
tribute.
Other evidence of police blackmail
was obtained, it is alleged.
District Attorney Whitman will mate
a Herculean effort to uproot the po
lice system and drive graft out of the
pplice force.
First, however, he will not press this
campaign until after he has completed
the Rosenthal case.
Proving Details of
Rose's Confession.
When the grand jury went into ses
sion today it was with the intention of
devoting its entire attention to wit
nesses whose testimony was expected
to establish the relations alleged to ex
ist between Police Lieutenant Charles
A. Becker and "Bald Jack" Rose prior
to the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
the gambler, with whose death Becker
is charged.
It was the plan of District Attorney
Whitman to begin today to establish
the truth of charges made in Rose’s
expose of the alliance existing between
certain members of the police and the
under world, by which police officials
and politicians grew rich through graft.
Detectives from the district attor
ney’s office had served summons on a
number of persons mentioned by Rose
in his statement, and they were in
structed to appear before the grand
jury.
With Mr. Whitman practically direct,
ing the situation, aided by two assist
ants and a corps of detectives, evidence
is piling up rapidly.

CRACKERS AND GULLS
CLASH AT PONCY PARK
By Percy Fl. Whiting.
PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, Aug.
B.—The Gulls defeated the Crackers here
today.
The game was called at the end of the
seventh on account of darkness.
The first man to face Paulet, in the
first inning, Maloney, ranped out a dou
ble, and this was followed by a pair of
singles (one of which was by Al O’Dell)
pushed the first run over the plate.
The visitors tallied again in the third
inning, when Starr, the first man up, two
baggered to left center, went to third on
an infield sacrifice and tallied on a sacri
fice fly.
In the fourth, on a walk, a pair of sin
gles and a double the Gulls scored three
more.
In the fifth, on a triple by Sitton and
a sacrifice fly by Alperman, the Crackers
got one run.
In the sixth, a walk, a sacrifice and an
error got the Crackers another.
It was lucky for the Mobile team that
it was able to get to Atlanta at all to
day. The engine pulling the Gulls’ train
ran off the track about 30 miles from At
lanta and left Finn's team high and dry.
Fortunately a freight train turned up in
the nick of time pulled the engine back
on the track and the Gulls reached At
lanta just at gamerime.
THE GAME.
FIRST INNING.
Maloney, the first Gull to face Johnson,
put one over first for two sacks. Starr
met one clean and drove through the box
for a single. Callahan came in like a
steam engine and fielded the ball Just
back of second base. By doing this he
was able to hold Maloney at third Starr
immediately stole second.. Al O'Dell’s
short single back of second sent Maloney
across with a tally, but good fielding by
Callahan held Starr at third. O’Dell
beat it for second on the throw-in. Ja
cobsen bounded one down io Harbison and
was thrown out to Agier. Long grounded
to Harbison, who fielded the ball home,
and Starr was out in a chase, Harbison
to Reynolds to McElveen. The Gull sec
ond baseman kept the chase going long
enough so that Long went to second.
Paulet grounded to Harbison and was out
at first, Agier making a good pick-up of
Harbison's poor thorw ONE RUN.
Agier dropped one in front of the plate
and was out, Dunn to Paulet. Umpire
Fitzsimmons slid 10 feet in the mud on
the side of his head while attempting to
do some fast umpiring on this play. Bai
ley caught one of “Pug” Cavet’s fast
ones in the middle of the back and went
to first. Alperman grounded to Cavet,
who slapped the ball over to Starr and
he relayed Alperman out to Paulet. Bai
ley advanced a peg on the play. Harbison
hit one way back of Starr, w'ho handled
it like a wizard, but Harbison beat it
to first while Bailey moved up another
peg. Reynolds hammered a terrific liner
to center, but Maloney speared it with
his gloved mitt and the inning was over.
NO RUNS.
SECOND INNING.
Walsh was called out on strikes. Dunn
lit into the first ball pitched for a single
to left. Cavet developed a weak grounder
to Alperman. The ball hit Dunn on his
way to second, and the big catcher was
called out. There was much argument
over the play and Pete O’Brien, coaching
at first, was sent to the bench for argu
ing with Fitzsimmons. Maloney went out,
Johnson to Agier. NO RUNS.
McElveen was easy with a pop-up to
Starr. Callahan hit at three and missed
them all. Lyons was favored with four
bad ones and went over to first. Johnson
sprung an unexpected single to right,
sending Lyons to second. Agier fanned.
NO RUNS.
THIRD INNING.
Starr hit one between Bailey and Cal
lahan for two bases. O'Dell bunted and
was out, Johnson to Agier, and Starr ad
vanced a peg on the sacrifice. Jacobsen
lifted a long one to Callahan, and Starr
came over the plate on the sacrifice.
Long bounded one over McElveen's head
for a single. Paulet went out from Har
bison to Agier. ONE RUN.
When Bailey was called out on strikes
he made an awful holler. But he got
nothing. Alperman filed to Long. Har
bison lifted a Texas leaguer back of third
and O'Dell, Walsh and Jacobsen fell all
over themselves trying to get to It.
Dunn caught Harbison off first with a
snap to Paulet. NO RUNS.
FOURTH INNING.
Walsh hit one through the infield for
a single. Dunn stung one to the same
spot for another single and Walsh went
to the keystone. Cavet bunted to Johnson
and beat it out for a hit, and this choked
the bases. Maloney grounded to short
and was out, Harbison to Agier, and
Walsh tallied. Starr smashed to Lyons'
territory for two bases, and Dunn and
Cavet counted. Vedder Sitton went in the
box for the Crackers. O'Dell bounded one
down to third and was safe on McElveen’s
fumble. Starr went to third on the mis
play. O'Dell swiped second. Jacobsen hit
to second and Starr was out in a run
down, Alperman to McElveen to Reynolds
to McElveen to Agier. O'Dell went to
third and Jacobsen to second while the
play was being made. Sitton then walked
Long. Paulet grounded out to Agier.
THREE RUNS
Reynolds took three wallops and sat
down. McElveen stung one to Starr too
hot to handle. Paulet made a fine catch
of Callahan's foul over against the stands.
