throughout he has retained his com
posure, excepting during that portion
OF his testimony which referred to
his efforts to save the lives Of the
Mcnamara brothers, when he was
bargaining in their behalf during the
latter part Of Jim McNamara's trial.
The defendant again today repeated
in various forms his denial that he
was involved in any way in the al
legged bribery Of Jurors In the Nc
Namara case. At one point in his tes-
timony yesterday Darrow surprised
the spectators when he said he per-
suaded the MCNAMARA brothers to
accept sentences together, believing
that the time would come when the
sentenced would be committed or the
men pardoned."

AT the same time, said the witness
Harrington was daily visiting Oscar
Lawler, special federal attorney en-.

Tense, and was telling Lawler all he
knew about barrow and the Mcnamara
defense. This closed the direct ex.
amination. Several jurors asked the
witness minor questions and then
cross examination started.
Interest was intense at today's SEES

Today the matter was called to the

ing. Some of the men have become
dissatisfied with the small salary they
are now getting and have stayed with
the positions, only from q sense of
loyalty to the city. There is plenty Of
work in Keokuk now, they say. and
most of 1t pays better than the places

Continued from naea 1l

The prosecution finally introduced
the marriage certificate showing that
Grace married Daisy Elizabeth Ulrich
widow of Webster Hugh opie. of
Philadelphia, at New Orleans on May
10, 1911. Dorsey then offered the
lease on the Grace Atlanta home.
A long wrangle ensaed but the de-
Tense won its point and Judge Roam
excluded the document Solicitor Dor

PENDANT In line with the theory that
Mrs. Grace planned the murder OF her
husband long before they moved into
their Eleventh street home last Janu-
airy He said the prosecution expect
ed to show that she plotted murder
to get Graces $4,000 life insurance.
DR.. Willis Jones, an Atlanta physi.
clan gave technical testimony as to
the nature of Grace's wounds.
The prosecution then formally In
troduced the typewriter "alibi let.

Grace to his wife written on the night
of the shooting and told OF meeting a
friend at the railroad station and de-
Gliding to take that friend home with
him over night. II am one day late In

that the letter was undated. A sec.

dated Tuesday night 1t said. "Af

the friend would spend the night with
him at the Grace home.
Dorsey established the fact that
the letters, originally sent to Newman
Ga, had subsequently been delivered
to Grace himself by his relatives
while the wounded man was in thu
hospital.
