The spinal cord would not be shown

that the witness speak English" in

amusement.
Dr. DUR said Grace had no control
of his legs when The X-ray was taken.
He attributed this to the pressure of a
bony substance against the spinal cord.
The X-ray plates were admitted In
evidence.
The court took a recess here until
1850 p. m.
SO fearful for their seats were the
morning spectators at the trial that
they refused to leave the court room
during the recess period.

Prioleau said all his conversation

on being questioned he said:
Nobody had said anything to Mrs.
Grace about an accusation against her
until the time ! went to Grace's room
with her.
she told me Gene had had a cold
that day and asked me what his con
dition was with reference to the cold.
she asked me how the people had
got into the house and expressed worry
about the furniture.
"She said she wanted to go out and
spend the night and protect the fur
niture. This was before she had seen
her husband"
Did she manifest any worry or So
lIcitude over her husband ?"
The defense was on its feet, OBJ
iecting and was sustained. Mr. Rosser
was persistcntly leading the witness.
After the question was put in proper
form the witness answered;
"She asked about how badly Gene
was shot
She said Grace had intended TO go
to Philadelphia. and his failure to go
would put her In an embarrassing posi-
ton"

Heard at Depot That
Mrs. Grace Was Accused.

AT the Terminal station two police
men met her. She and Mrs. Grace
did not ride to the police station in
the same vehicle. She hadn't meant to
say they hadn't been separated at all
Didn't you know" asked Mr. Ros-

in favor of the question.

she went down the street with Morris
Proleau, and two policemen followed
them
Mr. Rosser gave a comical imitation
of Mr. Prioleau, Mrs Grace and the
policemen.
Mr. Prioleau resumed the stand

He was in the room at the hospital

Dorsey began TO ask about the CONVEX

the jury was sent out again.

Luther Wiliford said Mrs. Grace
told him She wanted Graces insurance
policies payable to her instead of to his
estate She said she wanted him to
take out an annuity policy.
Witness was shown two Penn Mutual
policies This was late in 1911. He
couldn't state positively that the two
policies shown him today were the
same Grace had had. The two policies
had been for total of $4,000.
Witness said his wife was a distant
relative, by marriage, to Eugene Grace.
Tracing the relationship was as in
volved as determining the age of Ann. !"
Witness said he had no idea why Mrs
Grace had talked to him about insur-
ance. He was not an insurance man.
Mr.. Rosser declared that Williford
was a partisan witness in favor of the
prosecution. He had refused to tell
Mr. Rosser anything about the case
but admitted that he had talked to So
licitor Dorsey. Mr.. Dorsey refused to
permit witness to recount what he had
told the solicitor.
Mr. Wlliford said Grace was present
when Mrs. Grace talked to him about
insurance. He hadn't paid much atten-
ton to the conversation. He was dis
missed.
Mr. Dorsey desired to offer the poll
cies in evidence.

Mr. Dorsey said Mrs Grace was in
the next room when the demand for
her policies was made. His object was
to prove that she had the policies and
wouldn't surrender them. even after
Grace was shot and had demanded
them The court refused to admit the

Mrs. Grace. herself, had refused to give
up the policies. Witness had not heard

Mr. Dorsey insisted that he was try

that Mrs. Grace shot her husband for
his insurance
Mrs. Grace entered the room at 8.55
o'clock, accompanied. as on Yesterday

with black velvet ribbon around it.
Her dress was of black silk. with low
