GRACE SHOT !R SCUFFLE The Defense Sajs That He Shot Him Self In Row With Wife Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 1 Outlining Daisy Opie Grace's defense in her trial for attempting to kill her hus band, Eugene, the woman's counsel told the jury Grace received f. bullot wound during a scuffle with his wife after a quarrel over the sale of the woman's property. The attorney de clared that Grace tried to shoot his wife, after choking her and that during the scuffle which followed the weapou was discharged. : The attorney declared that Grace made his wife leave home because he did not think he was badly hurt. and feared he would be disgraced if it became known that he was shot In a "nigger row" with his wife. The state's theory that Grace was shot during the night or early morn. Ing. is utterly untrue," said Attor ney Branch. "We will prove he was shot after II o'clock in the morn ing; that he got up that morning wrote a check, and talked over the phone as laic as 10 o'clock. If. was ridiculous to say she married Grace and tried to get rid of him for his money. She had given him between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars in one year and he was going to Philadelphia to sell her property to get money for himself when -;h shooting occurred. We are going to show the whole miserable facts. The truth is Grace wanted to get his wif- out of town first. Mrs. Grace sus pected he had an engagement with another woman. She so accused him, and told him she would take hack the power of attorney she gave him to sell her property. He cursed her, threatening to kill her, an1 grabbed his revolver. In the scuffle, the revolver was discharged and Grace was shot. Grace made his wife leave the house, without sum moning a physician and made his wife promise she would say nothliic; about It." Tho lawyer charged thi't the alibi letters were written by Grace himself. JURY SELECTED FOR TRIAL OF GLADDEN (Special to The Times.)
