On His Way is Denver to be Indicted for
Poisoning Josephine Barnabv.
BosroN, May 1.-THE Globe will say
tomorrow: "By order of the Colorado
authorities, DIR. T. Thatcher Graves is
tacitly under arrest for the murder of
Josephine A. Barnaby. Through adroit
detective work necessary evidence to in
sure Indictment has been secured, and
DR.. Graves is now bound west-not for
the purpose of giving testimony before
the grand jury, but to be within the juris-
diction of Colorado, where he will be for
ma!ly indicted on Tuesday next, if the
evidence obtained and now in the hands
of States Attorney Stevens, of Denver, is
to be believed. DR.. Graves has con-
fassed sending a mysterious bottle
to Denver. He has con-
fessed to writing an inscription
upon it. He asserts that the bottle con-
tanned pure whiskey when it was mailed
in Boston, aud that any poison therein
contained must have been added after
the package left his possession. This
statement was made to representatives
of the Barnaby family in Providence.
Additional evidence tending to
show that DR.. Graves completely is
of great amount and it can
be stated that any attempt on his part to
avoid entrance to Colorado will result in
formal arrest by Detective Ranscom
wherever remonstance may be made.
This arrest will be made if necessary up

The Decision of the Supreme Court in
the Boyd.Thayer Contest.

The Decision of the Supreme Court in
the Boyd-Thayer Contest.
CHICAGO, May ia dispatch from
Omaha says: A bombshell has been ex-
ploded in political circles by official an
nouncement that the verdict in the Boyd
Thayer contest case was rendered by the
supreme court without discussion of the
issues and the merits of the case by the
judges of the court. Never, during the
entire proceedings, was there confer
ence held at which Judge Maxwell was
permitted to express his views or inter-
change views with his colleagues. Judge
Cobb was out Of the state several weeks,
and Norval, the youngest man on the
bench, is the ostensible author of the ma
iority opinion to which Judge Cobb ap-
pended his name after private consul
tation in which the Oldest justice on the
supreme bench was entirely ignored.
Immediately after the opinions we're fled
Judge Cobb left the court room with
Governor Thayer, John l.. Web
ster and Judge Mason. He went
to the clerks office and
ordered writ issued without the consent
of his associates. When Judge Maxwell
learned that writ of custer had been
surreptitiously issued, ne Indignantly
characterized the proceedings as beneath
the dignity of the court. He cited rule
of the court that the defendant had a.
right to his motion for reeharing and
that in no event could any writ be issued
inside of forty days, unless by express
order of the court. Norval agreed with
Maxwell that the proceeding on the part
of the chief justice was irregular and in
violation OF the rule of the court, yet he
did not join with Maxwell for the recall
Of the writ. That Boyd's summary TAX
ing off was preconcerted is proved by the
fact that Penitentiary Contractor Mosier
was on hand in the capitol an hour before
the decision was rendered and promptly
presented himself to sign Thayer's bond.
This will constitute the chief plea in the
appeal to the United States supreme
court by Boyd.
