ARRIVED IN sLEET STORM
Mrs. Graces train arrived in Phil
adelphia at o'clock Thursday morn
ing in driving sleet and rain storm.
She, her lawyer and The Journal man
drove direct to the st. James Hotel,
the fashionable hostelry, where Mr..
and Mrs. Grace lived for several weeks
following their romantic marriage.
Mrs. Grace stopped here just long
enough to complete the toilet hastily
arranged on the sleeping car. While
the morning was still young and before
the slow going Quaker city got its eyes
well opened she walked two blocks
through the sleet to a private cafe Z
and had breakfast.
The accused woman was really and
truly hungry. The fastidious appetite
manifested during the journey from At
lanta to Philadelphia was absent. she
wanted real food and she ordered It.
WILL SEE MOTHER AND SON.
After breakfast Mrs. Grace ana her
attorney went to the Girard Trust CON-
pany where they opened her private
vault and spent about 40 minutes ex-
amining and discussing the documents
contained therein.
rrf-- - rr--,,-s
Broad and Chestnut streets, Mrs Grace
took from a private strong box a hand
full of United States bonds Of a face
value of $1,000 each. The aggregate value
of these bonds could not be ascertained.
but there is no doubt that they repre-
sented quite large sum.
TO REVOKE POWER OF ATTORNEY.
From the Girard Trust Mrs. Grace and
her attorney went direct to the record
of deeds Office in the city hall, where she
transacted some business regarding. the
deeds to her Philadelphia property with
special reference to the house at 424s
Spruce street.
1t was definitely stated today that At
torney Branch has started proceedings
for the revocation of the power Of at
torney given by Mrs. Grace to her -hus-
band. This action is taken to prevent
Grace from disposing of any of his wife's
property should he desire to do so.
Through an old-time friend MRS.
Grace ent word to her aged
mother. Mrs Martha Ulrich. 500
South Goth street. West PhiIadei-
phia, that she would be home during (
the early morning and requested that
her little blind boy be brought in from
the Pennsylvania institution for the
blind at Overlook to be with her
through the afternoon and night
Just prior to going 10 her mothers
home Mrs Grace and her attorney vis-
tied the famous house Of mystery at
4246 Spruce street, celebrated for its
entertainments and late dinners during
the lifetime of her former husband.
