How Mrs. Josephine Barnaby Mixed
Her OWn Death Potion.
STORY TOLD BY MRS. WORRELL
WHO DRANK OF THE POISON.

Mrs. Barnaby Had Received Medicine by
Mail from DIR. Graves-Incidents OF
Her California Trip-Evidence to Show
That She Was Inundated by the
Doctor He Handled Her Money.
DENVER, Col. December 16 In the
trial today Mrs. Z. S. WOrrell was called
to the stand. She accompanied Mrs.
Barnaby on California trip at the lat
ter's request. The witness returned to
Denver alone April Z. Mrs. Barnaby was
met by woman in San Francisco, who re-
commended her to doctor. The witness
thought it very strange and spoke to the
clerk OF the hotel aboutit But Mrs. Barn
ably decided to remain and be treated by
this doctor. The witness left her with a
Mrs. Fisher. The witness was told the
package was there for Mrs. Barnaby after
they returned from the ranch, the day
they took the fatal fluid. Mrs. Barnaby
said she was tired and thought little OF
the fine old whiskey would help her. She
made two tOddies. The witness drank one
and exclaimed: ut is vile stuff" Mrs.
Barnaby drank hers and finally said: 'It
Is poor stuff" Then the witness became
i'll. Her son hurried in and told her she
should not have drunk before dinner. The
witness vOmited and was unconscious un-
til the next morning. The witness
knew that when Mrs. Barnaby was here in
January she received medicine from DIR.
Graves which came through the mail, for
rheumatism. When they were In Cali
f0rnia she had on various occasions re-
ceived letters and papers. When the wit
ness made her last visit to Providence she
noticed that the relations between Mr..
and Mrs. Barnaby were very much
strained, and endeavored TO make peace
between them. She had told this TO the
reporter for Boston paper, and also In
formed him that Mrs. Barnaby had left In
her will $500Co to DIR. Graves. The wit
ness admitted that Mrs. BaInaby told her
that DIR. Graves was the one who advised
her to contest her husbands will, and that
on one occasion Mrs. Barnaby said that If
she did not take the business out of the
doctors hands she would soon be ruined.
When Mrs. Barnaby and the witness were
travelling through California, Mrs. Barn
ably used to write to DR.. Graves regularly,
sending him her kinoest regards. aud ex-
pressing satisfaction at everything he
said, keeping him informed "a to her
movements or when she intended to return
to Colorado.
Evidence was then int oduced by the
prosecution to show that DR. Graves had
always intimidated Mrs. Barnaby and
threatened to have guardian appointed
to take care Of her unless she did abs0lu e.
ly as he said. The executors of the estate
deny that they advised DIR Graves e. take
this course. although DR.. Graves intlmated
they had. William FL. Wood, one OF the
executors of the estate of Mr.. Barnaby,
was called, and stated that Mrs. Barnaby
had been left S105.0t0 by her husbands

naby, but the greater part had been paid
to either DR.. Graves or Mr.. Balloa. He
held receipt from Mrs. BarDaby, with

S1n5, ,0O0.
