ALLEGED TROUBLE ABOUT a MAID.
'In reference TO q story about Mrs BArnsby
leaving her lawyer $4,000 in her will and
cutting him of because in response to her re-
quest that he send her q maid, he sent his
mistress, and she discovering the deception in
disnantly discharged the girl and de-
ing him $4,000, there is thi. 70
say, There is no lawyer in the case. Mrs.
Barnaby had told myself and others that she
had left ESQ 900 IN her will TO her physician and
adviser, DR.. ii. Thatcher Graves, and last fall
sent TO him asking for a maid. He recon-
mended young woman from Boston, who vas
employed by Mrs Barnaby while she Was at
Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondack, but
who, proving unsatisfactory, was discharged,
and Mr.. Graves was advised by note TO settle al
accounts with her. There does not seem 10 be
the slightest thread by which 20 connect this
young woman with the affair. Il is q very mys-
terious crime and we cannot imagine motive
for Its perpetration."
ARRIVAL AT PROVIDENCE.
Providence, RI, April 2s.-Dr. Graves has
arrived here in charge Of Mrs. Barnsby's body.
He says he knows . great deal about the plot 70
murder Mrs. Barnaby and wiz nay somsthing
startling ct the proper time.
NrA Hickey, an old servant e the Hnrnahya,
says Mrs Barnaby very rarely touched vhisky,
even - . medicine. and the stories about her
drinking in the woods are falsehoods.
Mrs. Barnaby's maid last summer in the
Adirondocks was Miss 6allie A. Hanlsy. She
says she does not know of any one Who ever
sent Mrs. Bsrnaby presents or packages.
DIR. Graves says he did not believe Ma
Barnaby would leave him any money and he
could have had no motive for wishing her
dead. On the contrary he was getting Q good
salary from her for acting % attorney and sd-
wiser during her life.
