Damaging Circumstantial Evidence
Against Graves in the Barnahy
Murder Trial.
He Was Evidently Afraid He
Would Be Out or Without
Gent.
self Into Mrs Rarnaby's Good
Graces--Otiler Testimony, ~

DEN YER, Dec. 17.-In the Barnaby. Graves
trial to-day. Edward Bennett was recalled
to tho stand. He identified several letters
which passed between Mrs. Barnnby and
Mrs. Worrell, and Mrs. Rarnaby and DR..
Graves. In one of Graves letters to Mrs.
| Barnaby the former said he would collect
rent from Mrs. Barnaby's tenants and de-
posit it in the bank and hoped he would
soon receive large payment for he had a
chance to make $4,000 for her. His wife,
Mrs. Bennett WAS next called to the stand.
She remembered the visit of DR.. and Mrs.
Graves with Mrs. Barnaby to her home in
Adirondacka. During her visit Mrs.
Barnaby said she had left DR..
Graves 100000 in her first will
but che thought this was too
much. Mrs. Barnaby often received letters
from DR.. Graves. The witness remembered
that Mrs. Barnaby received a letter in
which DIR. Graves threatened to appoint q
guardian for her. She had heard Mrs.
Barnaby complain to DR.. Graves but he
told her she had nothing to complain Of.
Mrs. Hickey, of Providence, who was Mrs
Barnaby's washerwoman, said she had
known the Barnaby family over thirty
years. Mrs. Barnaby lived in a small
house by herself when her husband died.
She told witness he left her but $500 per
year. but she was satisfied with this.
Shortly after this she became acquainted
with DR.. Graves and seemed to have been
fascinated with him. Soon after Mrs.
Barnaby said DR.. Graves advised her
to contest her husbands will; that
he wanted her to sign paper that Maud
Barnaby was not Mr.. Barnaby's child. Wit
ness advised her not to dosuch thing.
Again Mrs. Barnahy told witness that if
Barnaby could give $1OO, 900 to his mistress
shs should have her rights. Mr.. Graves
told her Barnaby left his money to his mis-
t1ess. Mrs. Barnaby was susceptible to
fattsry, and by this means Graves had
gained control over her. In April last wit
ness and the doctor had hot words about
the property. 'He said he would prove her
insane, and you need not be surprised if you
hear, some day that Mrs. Barnaby had a
shock.'
When Mrs. Barnaby was in California
the doctor told witness once that he under
stood that Mrs. Barnaby was coming home
to get her money and give it to the Ben
netts. If she attempted anything OF the
kind he would have her sent 20 crazy
house or have a guardian appointed for
her.
Henry G. Trickey. correspondent of the
Boston Globe, testified as to his interviews
with DR.. Graves, who had told him that
Mr.. Barnaby informed him that he was a
beneficiary in her will, but he did not know
the amount. He told witness he had tax en-
charge of her affairs only upon her earnest
solicitation. He also reflected upon her
character and declared that he was sorry he
ever became acquainted with her.

"CharIcyMoore has said
Somevery bad Things

Caught him in

From the Lexington Press. }


For many years back l have
thought at intervals of calling such
meeting as this and presenting
an address on the subject which /
have now chosen, and would have
done so had | felt certain as to the
results. But now that see before
me so large representation of
the character and the brains of
Lexington, l thank God that at
the request of the Y. M. c. A. l
have made the announcement.
One of our daily papers said yes
terday morning that l have Sc
lected a large subject. 1t is a
large one, and it has grown on

I am burdened with the magnitude
of il. / can speak only of its
most prominent features, and can
touch these but lightly. They are

ruption in the city government.
When the Racing Association
made an assignment short time
since and the pool rooms were
closed under action of the Circuit
Court little later, our papers ex-
pressed the most tender regrets
as tender as if one of our most
prominent citizens had died. l
published a short article in the
Transcript expressing surprise at
this. / asked if the men who had
thus written cared more for the
little money brought here by pool
selling and horse racing than for
the morals of the community. /
asked these gentlemen whether
they had no sons 10 be ruined, and
if not, whether they had no
daughters liable to be married to
young men who were thus being
ruined; and if not, whether they
had no care or sympathy with us
who have. | called tor some one
to give a sober answer to these
questions and to explain these re-
grets. No one responded, but
when the Leader sent a reporter
around to certain gentlemen for an
expression of their views as TO the
effect ofclosing the pool rooms, one
of our Councilmen said that it
would send money away from
Lexington to Louisville and Cow
ington. Now 1 would like to
know what money is brought here
and put into circulation by the
pool rooms and the races. BY the
first, there is nothing but the pass
ing of money from one mans
rocket to that of another, and
the biggest rascal in the game gets
the biggest pile. The same is
true precisely of the races, except
that the visitors to these bring
some money here with them. But
every rascal of them comes ex-
pecting to take away with him
more than he brings, and if he
does not he is wOefully disap-
pointed he is outdone in betting
by our home gamblers. True,
these do bring and expend some
money; but who gets it? A large
portion goes to the saloons, and
another large portion goes to the
bawdy house. In consequence OF
the latter, every seasons races is
attended by a very large influx OF
strumpets from Louisville and
Cincinnati to accommodate Oul
distinguished visitors, and these
