Grace did not fire the shot into her
husbands body, but will also pro-

Attorney Moore Friday. I'VE have
been too busily engaged securing the

working with the greatest secrecy.
The house in Eleventh street, where
Grace was found, has been placed un-

minute during the day or night that
the penetrating eye Of detective has
not been focused on 1t. People in the
neighborhood have called the attcn-

crowd had only SIXTY minutes before

to 80 minutes late, and there was a
rush toward the marker as he took

| In that wonderfully deliberate way
which is characteristic of officials

with it's irnpatience.
At 4.30 the bulletin was again
| pushed up half an hour, while the
crowd went through the same scram~
bio to read the notice. ,.
But the crowd still increased. The
waiting room was packed and those
who were there to board a train had
