Atlanta, March IA charge by Mrs. Daisy Obie Grace that she had a rival for her husbands affections and that the other woman probably was responsible for the shooting of Grace and Grace's ad- mission to his mother. Mrs. s. l.. Hil, that he did write a letter to his wife tell ing of postponing his trip to Philadelphia, were chief developments in the shooting mystery today. Grace had so far i'm proved that an X-Ray photograph was taken, but until this is developed the To- cation of the bullet cannot be ascertained.
 Declines to Elaborate
 Mrs. Grace declined to enlarge upon the "other woman feature of the case. On the advice of counsel she continues to refuse to discuss the case, but she has dropped her despondency. it is said, and instead has adopted a fighting attitude. It is stated that an effort soon will be made to obtain her release on bail
 According to Mrs. Hill, Grace stated tbat he wrote the letter to his wife, ad- dressing 1t to her at Newman after she had leased him into doing so He charges that on Monday night before the shooting Mrs. Grace asked him where the heart is located and that later she drugged him and then shot him. q know Daisy shot me for the insurance she had me take out" he is alleged to have said.
 Find Powder Stains
 That powder stains have been found on the night robe Grace wore at the time he was found by the police was the assertion ,fa for .roG fbfe ftarpnOn They declare this indicates that the shot which wounded Grace was fired at close range. The fact that the bed clothing did not bear any powder marks, they calm, points to the fact that the pistol must have been discharged under the covering. Others in- sist, however, that if the pistol had been fired beneath the covering, both the bed clothes and the night robe would be marked.
