CHAPTER vi.
Mrs. Grace Held For Trial.
Grace Operated ON Success
fully-All Ready For Trial

Things moved slowly now in the
Grace case.
AT Newman, Grace lived from day tn
day in spite of saturnine predictions on
the part Of Atlanta surgeons new
physician was now in charge ana he
refused to believe that Grace couldn't
live.
AS the days wore on and public curl
osity in the case began to wane. Mrs
Grace moved from her Kimball house
room to the home of Mrs. Louise VII
son in West End.
Meanwhile certain letters had come
to light-letters from Eugene to Daisy
before their marriage, before she was
divorced by death from Webster Opie
In these letters he confessed to having
lived wild life. He also declared his
love in passionate terms. The letters
revived interest in the case.
Other documentary evidence brought
to light revealed the fact that the
Graces had been married twice-the
first marriage at the Little Church
Around the Corner in New York was
no marriage at all. A second ceremony
had been performed in New Orleans.
Mrs. Grace Bound Over.
The preliminary trial, held before
Justice Ridley, in which only the evil
dence of the prosecution was heard, re-
suited in Mrs Grace being bound over
to the grand jury. An indictment was
returned later.
For third time Mrs. Grace was re-
manded to Jail, but after about two
weeks incarceration was again bonded.
Now, at her home in West End, she
awaits her trial.
few days ago an operation was
performed on Eugene Grace. The bull
let was located and the pressure
against his spine removed. For while
it looked as If he might return to full
possession of his faculties. That he
might live indefinitely, ia any event,
was established beyond a doubt. He
will not be able to attend the trial of
his wife. He says, however, that what
ever its result he will divorce her as
soon as he can. as he still is convinced
of her guilt.
The last act in the drama begins

Meanwhile, on railroad train
Grace's wife of less than a year was
speeding to the home of his own people
in Newman. She had left the home In
West Eleventh street at moor. to make
sure that she would not miss the train.
At Newman she was embracing Grace's
mother and telling her that she had
hurried there because her husband was
leaving on a business trip to Philadel-

But as the policemen Strengthened him
out upon the bed he managed to tell
them:

Wood sought to question the wound

But when the ambulance attendants
came up and lifted him upon a stretch

the policeman saw two big blots of
dry blood upon the bedclothing and
another blot of blood, also quite dry, on
the nightshirt of the wounded man.
The ambulance surgeon raised the

he said. 1.-THE bullet did not come out.

They carried the wounded Grace
downstairs to the ambulance and
rushed him to the hospital
On the floor of a room on the first
floor Wood stumbled over a pistol ly-

weapon he saw that 1t was Grace's

FAMINE PRICES
Being Faced for Raw Material by
This Country's Brewers.

Boston, Sept. 20.-The election of Of
ficers was the principal business, to-
day before the 100 delegates attend
ing the closing session of the 52nd
annual convention of the United
States Brewers Association. Reports
of various committees were presented.
A million dollars year awaits the
farmers of every grain growing coun-
ty in the United States in return for
more scientific and business-like man
agement of the farms, in the opinion
of the crop improvement committee of
the association.
The committee in its report said that
brewers are facing famine prices for
raw material because of the increasing
demand for mailing barley and the
decreased production because of soil
exhaustion and the withdrawal of land
from cultivation. The committee re-
ported that ii had established devel-
opment bureaus for the benefit of the
farmers in nearly 800 counties.
The vigilance committee made its
annual report on legislation, judicial
decisions and political development of
ntrest to the delegates. The commit
tee reported that New England was
