BODY UNDER CONCRETE
Search Beneath Newly Fin

BY MARTIN KANE
United Press stsff Correspondent

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Sept. II. -
Mrs. Edith Du Bots heard and pos
sibly watched her handsome GEM
dealer husband dig the sub-cellar
grave, in which her own body was
found few hours after he solved
a fve-week mystery by killing him
self, a letter revealed today.
Not many days before the 40
year-old wife of Charles Edwin
Du Bots mysteriously vanished from
their Great Herring Pond summer
bungalow, she wrote to a friend, a
Mrs. Gillot4 of Hastings on-the-
Hudson.
The gist of her letter, as quoted
by John V. Sullivan, assistant dis
trict attorney, read:
Charlie has not been himself for
ut least six months He has acted
like crazy man on account of that
woman. He would go down into
the cellar and dig and then come
up and not say word. He has
been working down in the cellar all
OF the time"
Irony i'm Body Discovery
The husband she acquired as a
result of French matrimonial
magazine ad, was digging the grave,
into which the assistant district at
torney was satisfied he placed the
body of his wife, slain so that he
might remarry.
The irony of the situation, how
ever, was that Du Bots cheated the
law which tried to charge him with
murder but was frustrated by fail
ure to find the body of a murder
victim until after the jeweler had
slain himself.
Du Bots was in love with Miss
Grace Atwood, New York university
graduate and daughter of wealthy
Massachusetts, manufacturer He
= had planned TO marry her. she said.
A letter she wrote said that now
We can marry, because the last OBJ
stacle has been removed" And legal
papers were found in which prop
erty title was transferred to Mrs.
Grace Du Bots, shortly after Mrs.
Edith Du Bots vanished.
Chauffeur Is ExOnerated
Sullivan held today, however, that
Miss Atwood was the innocent VIC
tim of love affair whose tragic
scenes were unsupported. He exon
Grated her of any guilty knowledge
OF the crime.
Miss Atwood was in seclusion, her
father said, and would remain so for
some time. She wrote the last
obstacle" letter, it was explained
because she had been told, as others
were told, that Mrs. Du Bots was
killed in a motor accident in Canada
Sullivan also eXonerated Larry
Frazier, the Du Bots chauffeur, who
helped dig the grave.
