the Poisoning Of MrA Barnaby.
In the trial at Denver yesterday Of Dr.
Graves for murder, in sending . bottle Of
poison to Mrs Barnaby, Mrs E 8. Worrell,
IT,, gave some very damaging testimony against
DIR. Graves. She was on the stand during the
entire session. A rigid cross-examination failed
to shake her testimony. She said abe became
acquainted with Mrs Barnaby last January,
when she arrived in the city with MrA worrell
on her trip to California Mrs Barnaby re-
manned to attend the wedding Of the witness.
She next saw her in April, when she returned
from California
Witness remembered the arrival Of the deadly
bottle at her house, but could not say that she
had seen 1t before. She thought, however, it
contained whisky. for she had heard some one
say it did. While Mrs. Barnaby was at her
house she and the witness and her husband and
Mrs. Worrell, ST., visited Mr.. Worrelrs ranch
near Morrison. They went by carriage. They
spent their time at the ranch in the house. Mrs.
Worrell, ST., was not very hungry and did not
eat much, but Mrs. Barnaby seemed to be very
hungry and ate q hearty meal. She remem-
bered this trip well because that night both
ladies were taken ill. She was questioned by
the physicians. The party returned from the
ranch about 6 o'clock that night. Witness and
her husband stopped at his office and Mrs.
Barnaby and Mrs. Morrell took a 22d avenue
car home. Mr.. Worrell stopped at tho office
to get his mail When witness and he arrived
home the two ladies were very i'll. They asked
Mrs Worrell what wrong. She replied
that Mrs. Barnaby had mixed two whisky
toddys and they had drank them and had be-
come i'll.
Witness hurried into Mrs. Barnaby and
found her in bed Mrs. Worrel was retching
and exclaimed: Il am burning up" She did

wrong / would be sick, too
A few minutes later Mrs Barnaby was taken
sick with the same symphonic, and became
worse. and continued to sink until she died.
DIR. Graves arrived on the Friday after her
death and said he had been delayed because
he had missed connections and was ill at
Chicago. He was very much excited, and ac-
cused the BENEFITS OF sending the fatal bottle.
At the depot, where the remains were to be

horror.
MRS CARRIER TIsTIFIEs.
Mrs. Carrier was put on the stand after the
the noon recess. She told thrilling story
Of her conversation with Mrs Barnaby
as the latter lay almost at the point
of death. She said that she inquired Of
the deceased if the BENEFITS could have sent
the dose Mrs. Barnaby replied that they
could not have done SO. "We were the best OF
friends" she said, land / expected to spend
next summer at their home In the Adiron-
dacks."
Then, after . pause, the expiring woman
said: Can it be possible that DIR. Graves would
do such a thing?'E
Il don't know" replied her attendant "Was
he remembered in your first will?'
The reply was that he had been remembered.
