- the friends and relatives OF Eu-
gene H. Grace, who was shot and
fatally wounded on Tuesday at his
West Eleventh street home, have now
deserted his bride who is accused by
the police of tho shooting.
The attitude of the family has
been misrepresented in several pub
lished articles" declared Attorney
Lamar Hill, representing Grace and
his family.
Members of Mr.. Grace's family are
not of the firm opinion that Mrs.
Grace is innocent. They simply de-
sire to see justice done"
Asked if he had been employed as
a prosecuting attorney in the Grace
case, Mr.. Hill declined to answer
Il am representing Mr.. Grace and
other members Of his family, that IS
ALL" he said.
/ Mr. Hill, Detectives G. C Tfd4iard
and James Doyal and other relatives
/ of the wounded, were in close consul
tation with Solicitor General Hugh
Dorsey, Tuesday morning Justice
~. B. Ridley before whom the case is
to be heard next Wednesday,, was
also present at the conference.
At the time the grand jury was in
session, but before it adjourned for the
day, no indictment in the Grace case
had been returned.
II has been stated that AIRS. Grace
spent Wednesday night with Mrs s. l..
Hill, mother of her husband. This has
been found to be incorrect, az Mrs. Hii
is stopping with a private family, rela-
tives, while Mrs. Grace is now in local
hotel, denying herself TO all callers.
| Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Grace have not
even met since Tuesday night, when the
latter was placed in charge of Matrou
Bohnefeid at police headquarters While
Grace's family have steadfastly refused
to make statements for publication, Il Is
Understood that they are cooperating
with the detectives in every way in an
effort to clear up the mystery surround
ing the shooting of the popular youns
man.
CABMAN Is LOCATED.
An interesting development in the case
on Thursday was the location by jour
nal reporter of the cabman who carried
Mrs. Grace to the Terminal station just
a short time before her husband was
found in he/locked house with bullet IN
his side.
Allan Hardaway is the Negroes name.
He bore out in every way the statements
OF Inc dGGuSGu DtiuGs Except llle1L ht
thought they left the house Is minutes
before Mrs. Grace says they did.

Hardaway is a cripple-"when the lady
arrived and got in.
COMING BACK FRIDAY"
when we arrived at the Terminal sta
ton she tipped handsomely and told ma
that if was around the Terminal when
the train from Newman came In on
out TO the house"
Did the lady appear excited at any
timer" the reporter asked.
mo, sir, she talked naturally-was
quick in giving her orders, but didn't
seem to be in a special hurry"
Did anyone else appear to be in the
house?"
NO, sir, I didn't hear anybody Hard
away responded, and the lady didn't
speak to anyone except me-"
Hardaway was questioned particularly
as to whether or not he made only one
trip to the house that day. Re says that
he did The city detectives aIlege that
Mrs. Grace made a statement to the ef-
feet that a cabman called earlier in the
day and was sent away.
Attorney ]. a. Branch, of Moore &
Branch. counsel for Mrs. Grace. states
that he has never heard his client make
a. statement TO this effect, and in her
narrative of events given him she men
toned only the. one visit Of the cab
