The Twenty-seventh Massachusetts
regiment was in camp at BACHELORS
Creek, N. G., near the edge OF a
wooded marsh out OF which came tho
fragrance OF magnolia blossoms and
the music OF numberless mocking
birds. Here the men 'foraged more
or less upon the guerrilla farmers" in
the neighborhood. The regimental
historian enlivens his pages with the
story OF one such occasion.
just beyond our outpost was family
named Davis, who were always wili->
ing to furnish refreshment for CO
sideration; and one day when Lou
tenant Hunt was In charge of the out
post, he placed Sergeant Peck on
picket very near the Davis plantation.
The Sergeant was very considerable
OF the wants of Ike inner man; and
when Lieutenant Hunt returned 10
this part Of the line, he found that
Peck had been TO Davis house, and
ordered what he called "A stomach
disteuder for two.
Sergeant Peck's appetite and liber-
ality got the better OF any cruples he
might naturally have felt about maxi
ing known his eglect OF duty, and he
invited the Lieutenant TO the feast
an invitation that was promptly ac-
cepted.
The two men were eating with the
best OF appetitrs when they heard a
sudden roar and rattle, as OF heavy
guns aud musketry. The enemy wat
upon them. Instantly they seized
their arms aud equipments, which
had been laid aside for the occasion.
and rushed unceremoniously out Of
tho door.
Waiting for nothing. they cleared
the fence. expecting every moment
another volley or demand To sur
render. On reaching the post in
any thing but good order, they were
hailed by one OF the pickets
"Huilo, therel What's your hurry?
Why didn't you wait till after tie
showers"
Sure enough, while they had been
busy at the table sudden thunder
cloud had come up and what they
hal mistaken for an attack OF the
enemy was only n peal Of thunder.

minded OF their famous dinner. and

DR.. Graves Statement to a News"
Correspondent.
THE JURY BOX NOT FILLED.
Talesmen Object to Serving During the
Coming Holiday Rush of Trade-Dis-
trict Attorney Stevens Gets New Testi-
mony Bearing on Graves Character.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 1.-The Government
is having a hard time getting a jury to
try DIR. Graves. 1t looked at o'clock
last night as though the box was filled
but a fresh break was made, and there
were but eleven men on the panel Every
body seems anxious to escape jury duty,
because of the holiday trade and the
venired men are simply trying to get out
of 1t. Almost every man called says he is
either opposed to capital punishment or
hanging on circumstantial evidence.
DIR. Graves had a pleasant chat with the
News correspondent this morning. He
says all he asks is a fair show He COM
plains that the Denver papers have been
outrageously abusing and villifying him
and that for his own protection he has
been compelled TO refuse to be inter
viewed. The prospects are not propitious
for the empanelment of a jury to-day. -
The government obtained some particu-
larly important evidence last night which
was received by District Attorney Stevens
with the utmost satisfaction.
Mrs. Mary Hickey of Providence, who
was for years employed by Mrs. Barnaby
will testify that she once sent her daugh-
ter, aged II years, to DIR. Graves house on
an errand and that he attempted an as
sault upon her, which was frustrated only
by her mother coming in response to her
cries.
Col. L. ii. Rickard of Danielsonville,
Conn, who is also to be government
witness, made the following statement
this afternoon
81 have known DIR. Graves for many
years, and have had legal business with
him. ] know, through his own ac-
acknowledgements, that he betrayed young
colored woman at Danielsonville in ad-
dition to his other offenses. | know of
Graves's guilt in another case similar to
the above.
He had the best advantages as a boy.
but hei possessed of a vicious streak that
has brought him everywhere into disre-
pute. i am satisfied from what | have
learned of the case to-day that the defense
will either attempt to throw suspicion on
the Worrels and thus cause doubt as to
Graves guilt, or enter plea of guilty of
murder in the second degree. have seen
many murder cases tried and the real
method pursued to date by the defense in =
dicates TO my mind the latter course"
