She was immediately taken . to a private residence, where she will he' subject to -continued, '.surveillance, and will be kept in what amounts practically to the biaiie 'solitary '-rcntinemetit she suffered at the jail, lor while she will be permitted to waik about when she wants to, and will be technically free, she, will not be per mitted to discuss her case or talk with ane one, and the .'-bondsmen wilt. have-somebody lodged near her all the time.

She wa 1 more depressed last night, than at any time, outwardly since the mysterious shootings The terrible indictment by her husband. who, talking directly to the Atlanta newspaper man, Angus rerKerson declared : "Mv wife shot me. 1 would say that if 1 stood this minute before God. I was on the level with her, and she shot , me. If she goes un punished, it will be a travesty on justice," these words from the hus band she still says she loves, made Mrs, ('.race sob as if her heart would break when she read them. Harring all questions of whether or not she shot him, the memory of Eugene Grace still stirs her heart af iio other thing, and she seems to care more; for his lightest words than for all the elaborate argu-, mentis spun by the detectives am: lawyers in the case.

With (.'.race dying in New- nan, without I he slightest hope o recovery; and with Mr-, tlrace buck in Atlanta under close guard; it now appears practically certain, eon ary to former opinions, that will come to trial here before a Jury of Georgians, for the murder of he husband. It will likely be the most dramatic and certainly the most thrilling- trial this part of the south has seen since the days before the Civil war In all human probability. Judge 1 S.

TWO ftfcviSMERM COURT Machinery Cot in Readiness at the Morning Session for Turning Out Lot of CaseH Various Crimes De fined and Hint!) on Good Citizen ship Civen IjarRe : Nnmber of Cases Set for Disposal Today The Grand Jury. t A two weeks' term of Wake su perior court convened today with Judge .las L. Webb presiding, and Solicitor Herbert E. Norris prosecut ing. The selection of and charge to the grand jury consumed the great er part of the morning session, and t was early in the afternoon before he court machinery got down to the real business of disposing ot the docket. In his charge the court told the jury that it made no dif ference whether they liked certain laws the prohibition laws, for ex ample it was their duty to see that they were enforced the same as other laws. , "1 want to emphasize it, Mr. Foreman, that a man who does not believe In enforcing the law la not a good citizen. All good, men, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, have re ject for , the law. All civilized countries that do not respect the law shall not live long. If there are any men In this city or county who have violated any of the law. It la vour duty to indict" Then Judge Webb named the va rious crimes -murder In the first legre and mnrder in the second de : ?ree, " burglary in the ffrtt degree ind second degree, arson, the burn- ' ng of a home In the night-time, etc. Commenting on the various burn ngs, the court said that a man ;ould not burn off his new ground .vithout giving his neighbor four or Ive days' warning. Campers are re- ' luired to extinguish their fires or be Tuilty of a misdemeanor. The cor- lal knowledge of a woman against ler will is punishable with death. Good Citizens the Need. "Now, you give me a strong clti lenship, gentlemen," said Judge Webb in commenting on the crimes numerated, .and you need not have my fear about the country." The court then named some of he lesser offences, such as enticing mother's laborers, selling liquor, arceny, carrying concealed weapon, eceiving stolen goods, assault and lattery, secret assault, highway rob ery, false pretense, embezzlement, ind other offences. As To Liquor Selling. Speaking of the unlawful sale of Iquor, the court said a man did not lave the right to make ahd sell iquor. It does not make any dif ference what the jurymen believe, it s the duty of all to help enforce he law. If you have any men in his county selling liquor, it is your luty to find true bills, no matter vhat your convictions are. It is the aw of the land, and a man who vio ates the prohibition law knows vhat lie is doing. It is a violation 'f the law for a man to Sell liquor, id It is a violation to steal, and If on. are not going to prosecute a nan for selling liquor,' you need not irosccute another for stealing. The lrug stores have no right to sell ex ept on prescription. If a doctor Ills a prescription when the patient not in actual need of liquor, he s guilty of a misdemeanor. Importance of the Boy. This is a fast age, the court de tared, in commenting on the law gainst speculation and gambling, nd so many men are so busy mak ng money that they have not the Ime to look after their children, tome men will take cognizance of he death of a chicken or pig, but a-ill pay no attention to the evil hat is destroying hi boy. There is nothing a woman or hlld fears so much as a drunken nan, and drunken men cannot oc cupy the public highway. A man nay get drunk, but he must get lrunk at some place where he will lot create a nuisance or cause fear. Cases For Trial Today, Some of the cases set tor trial oday are: W. L.
