Mrs. WorrelI Examined as TO Her Re-
Iations With tho Deceased.

latiOns With the Deceased.
DENVER, Colo, Dec. 16-In the Barn
aby trial today Mrs. Worrell was called
to the witness stand. She said she be-
came acquainted with Barnaby in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, in 1876. She accom-
panied Mrs. Barnaby on her California
trip at the latter's request. Witness
went on to state that she arrived in Den
yer with Mrs. Barnaby in July, and
both attended the wedding of young
Barnaby. From here they went to San
Francisco, and from there witness re-
turned to Denver alone, April 9TH. Mrs.
Barnaby was met by woman in San
Francisco who recommended her to a
doctor. Witness thought it very strange,
and spoke to the clerk of the hotel
about it, but Mrs. Barnaby decided to
remain and be treated by this doctor.
Witness left her with Mrs. Fisher and
left for Denver, arriving here April 9th.
Witness was told that there was pack
age here for Mrs. Barnaby after they
returned from the ranch on the day they
took the fatal fluid. Mrs. Barnaby said
old whisky would help her. She made
drank it. She exclaimed, "It is vile
SUun Oub nlb. DdILdpy vi dAh DCl6,
and finally said, 'It is poor stuff" Then
witness became ill. Her son hurried in
and told her she should not have drunk
became unconscious until O'Clock next
on her stomach.
Witness was able to take solid food
when DR.. Graves arrived from the east,
and when Mrs. Barnaby's body was
taken east few days later, she was
able to go to the depot with the party.
She knew when Mrs. Barnaby was here
in January that she received medicine
from Graves, which came through the
mail, and which was for rheumatism,
and when they were in California she
had on various occasions received let
ters and papers. She first met Mrs.
Barnaby in Europe, in 1884, and travelled
with her for three months. She after
ward visited her at Providence on several
occasions until three years later, when
they had a misunderstanding, and their
relations ceased for short time, after
which their friendship was renewed.
When witness made her last visit to
Providence she noticed that the rela-
tions between Mr.. and Mrs. Barnaby
were very much strained, and she en-
deavored to make peace between them,
but failed. She told this to a reportsr
for one of the Boston papers, and also
informed him that Mrs. Barnaby had
left in her will $4,000 to DR.. Graves.
She admitted that Mrs. Barnady told
her that DR.. Graves was the one who ad-
vised her to contest her husbands will,
and on one occasion she said if she
did not take her business out of
the doctors hands she would
soon be ruined. When Mrs. Barnaby
and witness were travelling through Cal
ifornia she used to write to DIR. Graves
regularly, sending him her kindest re-
CARDS and expressing satisfaction at
everything he did, and also keeping him
informed as to her movements. Wit
ness left California before Mrs. Barnaby,
who arrived in Denver two weeks later,
and found the bottle supposed to con-
tain whisky awaiting her.
Mrs. Worrell then related the story of
the death OF Mrs. Barnaby, heretofore
given in these dispatches.
Evidence was then introduced by the
prosecution to show that Graves always
intimated that Mrs. Barnaby was in
competent, and threatened to have
guardian appointed to take care of her
unless she did absolutely what he said.
The executors of the estate deny that
they advised DR.. Graves to take this
course.
William H. Wood, one OF the execu-
tors, was called, and stated that Mrs.
