Mrs Bennett told of Sallie Hanley

! Mather Hubbard wrapper, aud Reporter
/ TrIckey of Boston told of very inn
portant interview he had with the doc
tor. 1t was an eventtul day, and the
testimony was the most sensational thus
far given.
Reporter Trickey exploded a sensa-
tion, too, while ON the stand. He testi-
/ fed that the much-talked of telegram,
/ which took Mrs. Graves away from
/ Providence and which was supposed Il
be part of be plot against the doctor,
was in reality sent by himself and au-
other reporter aud their only idea was
to locate Mrs. Graves for the purpose of
interviewing her.
i Reporter Trickey detailed at length
the Interview with DIR. Graves. The
doctor, he said, believed that a murder
had been committed He believed the
poisoned bottle was sent from Boston,
but he was unwilling to talk about his
movements on his journey to the West.
This doctor said that circumstantial
facts might have the appearance of con
demning him. but he was in no way
concerned in her death He said that
MfS DdindDy was ulSSlpdJb WON du
and had lovers Sue frequently men
toned Ballou aud JACKSON as her law
yers.
He said it was only at the repeated
solicitations of Mrs BarnaDy, her fam
lily and friends that he had taken
charge of the property. He went on to
say that she had mania for making
wills He was aware that another will
had been made. After the Adirondack
trip the relations between himself aud
Mrs. Baruaby were not the same as they
had been before In the Adirondack:
Mrs. Barnaby and Bennett drank to-
gether, and he once found them drunk
in the ice mousse and he had suspicious
/ about their relations
1t made big row and Mrs. Bennett
said she would never allow Mrs. Barna-
by to come to her house again. Ill
thought that may have caused Mrs
Barnitby to make another will. He alst
called her vilo name, but said tina
was not for publication. He regretted h
ever became acquainted with Mrs
Barnaby.
