Judge Speer was vigorously at
tackled today in a 45-page typewritten
letter by Colonel w A. Huff, the 81
year old ex-mayor of Macon, whose es-
tate, worth more than $15O000 has been
in the bankruptcy courts for thirteen
years His personal and official char
acter is violently assailed, and his inn
parchment is suggested.
This letter was delivered to Judge
Speer last night and was made public
by Colonel Huff today. 1t is vitrolic
throughout. and is notable for its eX-
quisite diction. Copies Of the letter will
be sent at once by express to President
Taft. to members of the cabinet, to
the supreme court, to the attorney gem
eral and to members of congress.
In the letter Judge Speer is urged to
either take the Hanford route and
resign so as to save yourself from more
disgrace or do like Archibald and take
your medicine like man"
Colonel HUFF charges that his estate
has been eaten by up by court costs
and fees for thirteen years so as to
enable Judge Speer ito support himself
his relatives, pet friends and hirelings,"
and with this charge furnishing the
basis for the attack, Colonel Huff re-
views the personal and judicial acts Of
the Judge in recent years and gives all
legged additional evidence and conclu-
sions that are sensational in nature. In
one place it Is declared to Judge Speer
that your court lives to steal and in
most cases your thefts are for yourself
and friends
The absolute charge is made that
YOU are cruel, churlish and crooked.

of the letter cites alleged facts which,

any statement in regard to the letter

some official action before that time.

Perhaps the most interesting de
tails Of the state s testimony today
was the statement of DR.. w. S.
Goldsmith as to the conversation
between the wounded husband
and his wife when she faced him at
the hospital. The states counsel
insisted that the surgeon had tes-
titled that Mrs. Grace was first to
breach the subject Of his accusa-
ton
I'VE shall show, your honor" de-
clared Mr. Dorsey, that Daisy Grace
faced her husband and upbraided him
for accusing her Of the deed when not
a living soul had intimated to her that
she was accused or suspected of the
crime"
But counsel for the defendant will
show, upon cross examination, that on
the afternoon of the shooting the At
anita newspapers published in late eX-
IRA editions the fact that Grace had
accused his wife Of shooting him; that
the newsboys were crying it on the
streets; that reporters met the ac-
cused woman at the train and ques-
toned her as to her husbands charges

moment of her trip from Newman to-

The state. through its succession of
witnesses, Is endeavoring to weave a
web Of evidence about Mrs. Grace, from
her instructions to the servants to re-
main away from her husbands room,
to her actions when she confronted him

points which the state expects to prove
by its witnesses:
