Jules wife, Marie, and their chill.
dren, Rosalie, II; Jules, Jr., Is
and George, IA, were the other
members of the little funeral
party.
Side by side rested the husband
and wife In grey-colored caSketS
There were no flowers. The serv'
ice by Rev. H. K. BaTstow, rector
Of Christ's Episcopal Church, was
simple.
All persons were barred from
the funeral parlors during the
services. A few curiosity seekers
and q group of newspaper re
porters and camera men stood
outside.
Two hearseS and one automo,
bile for the mourners made up
the funeral procession to the
grave in Braintree.
Always Good To Her
Before coming to the funeral
of her son, Mrs. Dubois, the
mother, had said:
'"My boy is dead. What is
there to say? Poor Charles.
Poor Edith. / am a mother.
Only / can know the torture.
What do 1 think Of the note
he left saying Edith was a sui
eide? What would any mother
think? have always believed
In Charles. He was always
good to me and so was Edith.
Please, please don't talk
about the other girl. 1 did not
know her. If 1 had only
known.
Il trust the public will be
liberal with my sons memory.
He was q good boy to me. All
1 ask Of the public is. Judge
not, lest ye be judged"
The "other woman, in the
death case, Miss Grace Atwood,
did not attend the funeral
services.
Meanwhile further questioning
of "the other woman" in the
case 1oomed.
Girl Is AbsOlved
Police investigators said they
wanted Assistant District Attor.
ney John v. Sullivan to question
again Miss Atwood, daughter of a
wealthy Middleboro box manufac
turer, to end certain rumors and
clear up certain angles of the per
picking death case.
Sullivan has stated that he
was convinced, following his
questioning of Grace four days
before Dubois died that she was
absolutely innocent of any con,
nection in the death of Mrs Du,
bois, that she supposed she was
in love with a widower, and that
the case was a closed book as
"the real culprit is dead"
Calls Wife a Suicide
In q note written to his lawyer
Jeremiah J. McAnarney, two
hours before he died. Dubois
claimed his wife shot herself in
bed, that he concealed her body
because Of fear and to keep his
Sweetheart'S name out Of any in
vestigation.
Miss Atwood was inSecluSion in
Middleboro. Her sister, Marion,
said the shock Of the whole af.
fair had brought her sister close
to a state Of collapse. Marion
refuted statements to the effect
that Grace said she too would
like to die.
Dubois lawyer denied his client
died insolvent. He said Dubois
was not wealthy at the time of
his death but that his estate
would be substantial. The estate
was left to the aged mother. 1t
included 10 wedding rings studded
with diamonds.
Investigation has revealed Du'
bois purchased a pistol early in
August. This was about the time
he had told police investigators
i. that he had learned his wife was
killed in an automobile accident
IN montreal.
Charles Swenning, retired jew
,eler friend of Dubois, who intro
duced the latter to Miss Atwood
has said he had several quarrels
with Dubois and that one time
he went away in actual fear"
New Angle Advanced
Another new angle in the death
mystery case was statement by
a police official in Plymouth that
he could obtain the affidavits OF
two women who said they saw
an automobile similar to Dubois
parked near his Great Herring
Pond cottage on August 9 with
a form slumped in the front
seat"
