MRS. GRACE'S STORY
REHEARSED LIKE PLAY;
WAS COACHED BY MANY

Mrs. Daisy Grace's remarkable story
of the shooting of her husband, Eu-
gene, recited to the jury. was a care
fully prepared defamation. pruned,
amended and polished by her lawyers,
and as carefully rehearsed as a dra-
matte Offering by professional actress.
This startling fact was revealed by
the publication of the recitation before
it had been delivered in court by Mrs.
Grace.
II had been prepared in the offices Of
her lawyers. John w. Moore and James
A. Branch. There 1t had been decided
in numerous conferences what would
be good for the jury to hear and what
might best be omitted There its 1900
words had been intoned day after day
by Mrs. Grace. There, and in other
places the woman who was to recite 1t
in explanation of her part in a tragic
shooting had been rehearsed and guild
ed and trained by lawyers, a secretary
and a private detective, and from there
it found it's way into type hours before
Judge Roam and the Jury of twelve men
who possibly thought 1t an eXtempora-
neous masterpiece heard a word OF 1T.

To Save Grace Name
Dragged 1t in Mire.

At the same time that these surpris-
ing revelations were made. the aston
ishing fact was barred that Mrs. Grace's
lawyers, Moore G. Branch, had known
Of her claim that Grace shot himself
from the very beginning. Despite that
fact, they had permitted the entire po-
lice force of the city and detectives IN
host of other cities to waste many
wear1some weeks hunting supposed sus-
poets and "nysterioUs persons"
AS the testimony showed, Mrs Grace
was pointing suspicion toward her hus-
bands servant, and indirect accusations
involved many others not specifically
named.
While the lawyers were keeping Mrs
Graces alleged secret-presumably be-
cause OF her alleged promise to Grace
to shield the family honor'-they were
giving out a mass Of letters and papers
and statements rejecting hideous1y
upon the wounded man and conditions
in the Grace home.
Their attacks, as well as those OF
their cftent-whiie she and they were
sending scores OF police on false scents
to shield the family honoT'-made the
Grace family life a bY-word, and often
| contained insinuations unprintable.
The training in this case was no
half-hearted affair. No playwright ever
worked more pair staitngly to eliminate
what might hurt him with his audience
and insert what might benefit him than

Malice Must Exist
For Guilt, Says Court.

An expressed or implied malice MUST
exist. Persons can be guilty of murder
even of persons they love. Malice
means deliberate intent to take human
life. no matter from what passion it
springs.

is likely to produce death This must
be shown by satisfactory evidence.
There have been two letters offered
here, purporting to have been addressed
to Mrs. Grace at Newman. It is claim

the two was addressed by f. H. Grace.

You heard the defendant make a

TRAIL CO. BETWEEN

Detectives were today making vigor-
Gus efforts to run down charges of at
tempted bribery and tampering with
state witnesses in the Grace case. Their
investigation revolved about Rebecca
Sans, the mulatto dressmaker for Mrs
Grace and a witness for the defense
In the Grace trial. J. c. Rufln. the ne
gro servant in the Grace home, and
his wife, Martha, both important wit
nesses for the prosecution in the trial.
Swore on the witness stand Yesterday
that Rebecca Sans told them that Mrs
Grace would take care of them If they
would testify for her.
The detectives believe that they can
develop much stronger evidence. The
attorneys for the prosecution tried 10
establish at the trial yesterday that she
was a medium for the defense in 4
scheme to influence witnesses. The
detectives are working under the d.
reCtiOn of Solicitor H. NJ Dorsey.
Witnesses Approached
The detectives have the statement Of
Abe Peloat. father of Martha Runfn
that Rebecca Sans sought to get the
Ruffins to testify for Mrs. Grace and
that she endeavored to get them TO go
with her to the office Of John w. Moore,
attorney for Mrs. Grace Peloat said
he went to Mr.. Moore's office himself
to find out what was wanted.
Mr. Moore told me that ne just
wanted to talk to Martha and for me to
bring her to his office" Peloat declared
to the detectives.
PeIoat was in the court room yes
terday ready to make his statement
under oath, but it was too late to cal
him to the stand
Detective Doyle found Rebecca Sans

house just outside the room in which
the Grace trial was taking place last

The Sans woman said she was only
talking to the Ruffins about their do

the detective that she wanted them to
testify for Mrs. Grace.
5urke's Part.
Newport Lanford, chief Of the city
detectives, told an interesting story to-
day about Detective Burke, special
agent for Attorneys Moore and Branch,
who has been companion of Mrs.
Grace much of the time recently and
helped her. Chief Lanford said that
Burke made prodigious efforts to find
out what evidence the prosecution had
against Mrs. Grace under the guise of
helping the detective department build
up its case
Burke was a special agent Of the
Southern railway and refereed boxing
matches at one Of the local clubs. He
called on Chief Lanford for help in
catching some car breakers" Chief
Lanford gave him help and number
Of criminals We're caught. Then for
weeks Burke made efforts presumably
to help the detectives collect evidence
against Mrs. Grace TO show his appre-
citation.
He wanted to see the famous letter
from Grace to his wife at Newman
which fell into the hands of the prose-
cution," said ChiFf Lanford. He want
ed to help us identify the typewriter
on which it was written. But he never
got his hands on that letter or found

Grace talked considerably today
about plans he has formed to leave
Newman after the Atlanta verdict has
been rendered. for some resort where
he will be less closely confined than in
this little town. Many friends have
written him that he would surely re-
cover if he were to take, some famous
cure" but, pending the verdict, his
plans for the future remain unsettled.
Grace commented briefly this morn

day before the jury, but, brief as his
comment was. it Indicated one thing
clearly-he will lend all his strength
toward redeeming what he considers
