    Accused of murdering his brother Jack with a meat cleaver (September 1912). query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E4DC1F3CE633A...

    Also had three wives! query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9902E0D8123CE633A...

    See New York Times article from 1912 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E 4DC1F3CE633A... Story goes: Anthony AKA William Grace (Bill Grace) breaks down in his cell after he was given "the third degree." - implicates another boxer (pugalist) Jimmy O'Connell AKA 'The Kid' in the murder, Grace has left his brother with 'The Kid" and sounds like they weren't friends. Bill Grace has just married his third wife, was arrested the same day. New wife Fanny Andrews (Grace) apparently thought her new husband might be a bigamist! (all in the news article - reads like a movie plot) Pithy article.

    See New York Times article from 1912 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E4DC1F3CE633A... Jack Grace, murder victim - Story goes: Anthony AKA William Grace (Bill Grace) breaks down in his cell after he was given "the third degree." by police investigators - he implicates another boxer (pugalist) Jimmy O'Connell AKA 'The Kid' in the murder, and admits that he, Bill Grace had left his brother, Jack Grace, with '"The Kid.' " The NY Times article suggests that the two men were enemies. Bill Grace has just been arrested for his brother's murder, one day into his third marriage. To make it really interesting, Bill's new wife, Fanny Andrews (Grace) apparently thought her new husband might be a bigamist! (all in the news article - reads like a movie plot) Pithy article.

    Appreciate the context. We'll make a couple of changes: fuller name & occupation; new photographer credit (Smith Studio), and new date.
