TRACTION COMPANY
RECEIVES new CAR

The Hattiesburg Traction company
has received the third new car and
will at once put it into commission.
These new cars are greatly appre-
ciated by the public. The feature
especially appreciated is the cross
seats, instead of the long side seats
in use in the old cars. The automatic
opening and closing door is feature
that insures largely against personal
injuries. For their recent improve
ments the company is receiving much
additional patronage.

attorney to go to Philadelphia and sell
her home. He was to leave on the
morning of the shooting, she going to
the home of his mother to stay during
his absence. Grace awoke that morn

that they defer their departure until
the next day. "His manner was very
suspicious" she said, "and l made up
my mind that he was trying to get
me out of Atlanta before he left so he
could take a woman with him, or worse
still, into my own home" She said
Lawrence, Grace's partner, called up
about II o'clock and asked her to tell
Grace that he had just received a nice
sum of money and things were look

had testified to this conversation.
Mrs Grace said she took the mes

Mrs. Grace Tells Remarkable Story
To Jury.

Atlanta, Aug, with her husbands
face leering at her from the pillow of
his cot, Mrs. Daisy E. Grace yester-
day related her story to the jury.
81 did not shoot Mr.. Grace, and he
knows it; as God is my Judge, that is
the solemn truth she exclaimed
dramatically, and Graves lips parted
in a cynical smile 1t was a remark
able story, told in a calm, even voice
without pause, as though it has been
well rehearsed. Grace was revealed
in black colors as a creature who had
rewarded wifely love and generosity
with the grossest cruelty and infidelity
Mrs. Grace occupied the greater part
Of an hour in it's telling, and at its
conclusion she left the stand and the
defense rested its case. AS she did
not make the statement under oath
the prosecution was denied the priv
ilege Of cross examination. The state
then put on one or two witnesses in
rebuttal and rested finally.
A bold stroke by the prosecution in
trying to have Grace sworn to rebut
the statement of the accused woman
did not succeed. Jude Roam ruled that
under the Georgia law husband was
not competent to testify against his
wife.
Mrs. Grace declared in her state
ment that Grace shot himself during
a scuffle with her for possession o.
a pistol with which he was trying tc
shoot her. It was not the first time
he had attempted to kill her, she said
Last summer, after she had made hel
will in his favor, at his insistence
she testified he tried to throw he
overheard from steamer on which
they were making a trip from New
York to st. Johns. Some time afte
that when they were in Atlantic Cit,
she testified he threw her across tn
bed and held pistol at her head, de
claring that he would kill her If sh
did not stop talking to him about &c
ing to work. She said that he ha
beaten her and choked her frequently
but that in spite of his mistreatmen
she had made for him every sacrific
in this world that a woman c0dl
make for man."
From the time she met him until tn
a. day of the shooting she said she ha
m given him $4,000 in. cash. 81 was a
