WOMAN RESEMBLING
MRS. GRACE SEEN
Acquaintance Makes Affidavit He
Saw Her Morning of
Shooting.

Atlanta, March 2s-That another woman
so resembling Mrs. Grace as to be easily
mistaken for her was at the Grace home
on the morning of the shooting is de-
clared in the affidavit made in Jackson
VILE by Abe Steinberg and which was
mailed TO Mrs. Grace at Newman. where
II is said to have reached the Hin resi-
dence and then disappeared.
Steinberg, in his sworn statement, tes-
ties that he was passing the Grace home
in an automobile that day and heard the
mufied report of a revolver. He saw a
colored man emerge from the house, but
there was no appearance of excitement
around the place, and he drove rapidly
on to the city. But as he passed. he
says. he saw a woman on the front
porch apparently ordering the man from
the place. He thought she was Mrs.
Grace. and was greatly surprised when
he reached the Piedmont Hotel to find
Mrs Grace, or some woman he took for
Mrs. Grace, there. He spoke to her, but
received no acknowledgment of his salu-
tation.
The name of a woman said to be a fire.
quent caller at the Grace home and
friend OF the family appears in Stein
berg's statement.
steinberg says that he knew the
Graces, the husband in a business way
by reputation and the wife indirectly as
Philadelphian and through her former
husband.
Looked Very Much Alike.
He also knew the woman referred 10
as frequent caller at the Grace home
and a friend OF Mr.. Grace, although he
could not state positively that this wo-
man and Mrs. Grace knew each other.
There is" he declares, something Of
a resemblance between the two. and one
not knowing Mrs. Grace intimately would
easily take her for Mrs. Grace and vice
versa"
Steinberg goes on to say that on the
train to Macon that day he saw a colored
man whom he recognized as the same
man who had run from the Grace home
and learned that his name was Gibbs. He
endeavored to have him arrested in
Macon. but the man had disappeared.
After an exhaustive investigation in
all cities and towns in which Daisy IL
rich Opie and Eugene Hamilton Grace
are known TO have visited together since
the death OF the woman's former hus-
band. Webster II. Opie. II develops that
the two were married in New Orleans on
May TO- 1911. more than two months after
the announced date Of their wedding.
Mrs. Grace's attorneys refused TO dis
cuss the revelation I'm regard TO the mar
rage, and Mrs. Grace contented herself
with saying:

My husband, who for eleven
years has been almost helpless be-
cause Of rheumatism, has been en-
tirely too strict. He is a rigid church
member, and 1 think that Herberts
mischief has been mostly due to- the
fathers attitude toward him.
When Herbert was 10 years old
he slipped out one night and went to
a theater. He came back about
1890 and knocked at the door after
he had found it locked. His father
called to him that he couldn't come
in, because he stayed out after nine
O'Clock. 1t was cold winter night,
and there was snow on the ground.
The boy cried but his father woul7
not relent. Finally, I got bed tick
and some covering and took it down
stairs so that Herbert could sleep O.
the dining room floor. Then I opened
the door and let him in, but Mr..
Vreeland came down and ordered
him out, and the poor boy had to
stay out all night.
And there we have a concise a
statement as to why eighteen
States" have to make men, out Of
criminals who have not become hard
ened to crime.
II there is anything more calcu-
lated to drive the average boy or
girl to the streets, it is the sancti-
monious piety which some parents
seem to think necessary for a
neral upbringing Of their off
spring.
Why should religion be made a
dread thingf
Why need family prayers to be al
ways pleas from the wrath to
Gomez rather than rejoicings and
thanks for favors received?
There are, and it's a pity it's true,
too many parents like Herberts
father who would torment the child's
body to save it's soul.
Minister'S sons are, as a rule, the
nearest to nature in the streak Of
peryersity which is the inevitable
outcropping of the instinct to rebel
agains iron-bound rules.
There are parents to whom the
children are simply little animals
who must be fed and clothed; whose
defenseless little bodies make excel
lent targets for the venting of tenn
per, and whose souls are an unknown
quantity
Too much paternaljsm on the part
OF the State or the Federal govern
men@, is not desirable, but it is we'll
that there are States so managed as
to make men" out of such as the
offspring of men like the Vreeland
boys father.
Doubtless that Individual is pious-
~ saying his "cTess" was an "infiic-
ton Of the "Lord' and doubtless,
too. he Will never be iolted into
realizing that the hyFocritical cant
which he called religion and which
permitted him to shut child out in
the winters night, is mere 6amning

the worst crime the reckless bow, now
