Vanity Caused Him
To Take Out Insurance.

Mr.. Rosser denied Ir. Grace's in
stigating the insurance.
How pitifuI is vanity" said Mr.. Ros-
ser, "And vanity caused him to take
out the insurance his wife.
He had the society germ in his
veinsR said Mr.. Rosser, and God pity
the man who has it. I'd rather have
typhoid fever. A mans in a bad fix
when clubs and dances are the breath
of his nostrils.
"Cut out the motive and where is
this case left? 1t has been cut out.
AS for the letters"-he took the letters
and exhibited them-"the only evidence
before you is that Grace wrote them.
1t isn't for me to say who wrote them
know Grace wrote one of 'em.
but i've got a little suspicion It
may be that Grace wrote the letters the
night after the theater, so that they
might explain why he did not go to
Philadelphia"
Mr.. Rosser attacked the proof of the
argument that Grace had been doped.
He warned the jury against imagining

said he loved him.
II love him because there amt but

From Solicitor Dorsey's summing
up of the case against Mrs. Grace.

"She Left Him, Not
Dead, But to Die. !"

She left him there, not dead, but to

masgots to eat, for the heat to decay.
She planned to bring his own mother
back to find his body there.

but the court called Branch down hard
for the language he used, cautioning
him to couch his objections in differ

she fought with him over the power OF

scented, they should not convict the de-

In conclusion Mr.. Moore waxed
flowery With frequent references to tho
red old hills Of Georgia" and brown
eyed babies"
His words brought tears to the eyes
of Mrs Grace and her mother, Mrs. Ul-
rich, when he told the jury not to let
the burden OF two broken hearts and
wasted lives be unjustly upon their
consciences
Mr.. Moore's speech consumed one
hour and a half. He concluded at 1O;4O
n. IN.
Luther q Rosser began his argument
for the defense at 1O:45 o'clock He
had about an hour left Of the two and
one-half hours assigned his side of the
case
"fhe fact that the state has not been
fair to you in this case has been shown
plainly by Mr. Moore" he said you
gentlemen know that certainly to this
hour she is an innocent woman. She
was entitled to respect Did you no
tice what respect Dorsey gave her? He
calls her Daisy. He puts a dirty,
greasy negro woman on the stand and,
in talking to her. he calls this Anglo
Saxon Daisy in an insolent tone"
Mr. Dorsey denied this, and MIR. Ros-
ser withdrew the statement. but said
that the solicitor had used the word in
the presence of a negro, at least

case
IF you are going to reach verdict
by evidence and not by the closing
speech of abuse by the solicitor-and
that is all they have-you must con-
slider this fact. Grace was not shot in
the morning, and on that rests the
states whole case. They have utterly
failed to show motives, they have ut
terly failed to show time!
IF there is anything in the world
that the earmarks Of the case shows, it
is that it was not a premeditated plan.

They say she tempered with the

Concluding the first stanza of Kip

Mr.. Dorsey again. He may have been
an adventurer and she may have been
pure. But you are men as l am, and
you know when Grace introduced that
woman into his family he must have
thought that reformation had come
into his heart and she would make him
a good and true wife, even as he was a
faithful husband.

MILLIONS SAVED TO STATE
Nearly 1900 Non Resident In

Albany, Nov. 8-Mlllons OF dollars
have been saved TO New York State I'm
the last year by the deportation OF aliens
and the removals OF nonresident insane,
according TO a report to-day by the Blu
reau OF Deportation of the State Hospital
Commission. Insane aliens and non-resi-
dents who were removed from state hos
pitfalls or returned TO other countries or
states responsible for their care and
maintenance without securing admission
totalled 1,753 OF this number 1883 were
patients who had actually become charges
in New York State institutions for the
insane. The removals resulted in reduc-
ing the increase in the hospital popula-
ton from 2,29S to 573.
The average annual per capita cost of
caring for the insane in the state institu-
tons approXimates 500. and the hospital

The deportations and removals this year
represent minimum saving to the state
