THE LETTER GOES IN
To Show That Dr. Graves Thought MRS.
BarDaby Was in san Francisco When tho
Bottle Was Mailed.


DENVER, Coll, December 26.--In the
Graves trial this morning Mr.. Stevens
announced that after an examination OF
the letter the prosecution withdrew all
objections to its being admitted in evil
dence. This is the letter which was
claimed the Doctor wrote to Mrs. Barn
| aby in San Francisco at the time she
was on her way to Denver, and at about
! the time the fatal bottle was mailed.
| Its intention is to prove that the doc
tor thought Mrs. Barnaby was in San
| Francisco, and therefore could not have
mailed the bottle to her in Denver, II
! he thought she was elsewhere. Judge
! Furman read the letter which explained
to Mrs. Barnaby how to get the doctors
checks cashed, and told Of the death OF
his brother. 1t was dated March 81,
and was posted at Providence March 80.
/ Mr.. Stevens then said he wished the
letter to 90 into evidence, under In
structions of the court. The letter was
| passed from juror to juror and finally
handed back to Judge Furman. The
defense appeared jubilant, but the
prosecution was not unhappy.
The cross-examination OF DR.. Graves
was long and rigorous. The Doctor de-
MED nearly everything sworn to by
other witnesses, or If he did not deny
the testimony OF previous witnesses be
would claim that he could not remem-
Der. There were exceptions, however,
to this, for in some instances on being
asked the same question second time
in different manner, his memory would
return to him and he would admit what
he had before denied.
DR.. Graves said be did not tell the
Worrell's that be thought the Bennett
family sent the bottle OF whisky. He
acknowledged to having been inter
viewed by Reporter Lincoln, in the
| Providence telegraph Office, and said
that he might have told Lincoln that
Mrs. Barnaby had many lovers, and
that some OF them were vile, but he
denied having said that he saw Mrs.
Barnaby and Edward Bennett in COM
promising position.
The prosecution inquired as to where
$40, 900 of Mrs. Barnaby's money, sup
posed to have been deposited for her
by Graves, was. He said that his ac-
count bookwas lost. but that there was no
such balance due Mrs. Barnaby, and that
ne had accounted for every cent OF her
money. He denied having told James
| II. Conrad that he sent the bottle OF
whisky to Mrs. Barnaby. Here the
Court adjourned until Monday morning,
when DR.. Graves cross-eXamination
| will be resumed.

fact that the grip has attacked his
throat, and he suffers from coughing

TRUE DEVOTION.
A Young Lady Has Both Arms Cut ON,
But Her Lover Remains Loyal.

MILLERsBURG, o., December 26.-ODe
OF the strongest cases OF love and devo-
tion which has ever taken place in this
section was eXemplified to-day In Kill
buck Township by the marriage OF Mr..
Alvin Nitsche, German, aged 32
years, end Miss Lille NJ. Lowe, aged II
years. Nitsche was devoted lover OF
Miss Lowe in 1890, when she was only
Is years old, and when she met with the
horrible accident while driving NOW
ing-machine, in which she was thrown
before the cutter bar and both arms
were cut of. She fingered between life
and death for long time, but eyentu-
ally got past danger. She feared that
her lover would desert her on account
OF her affection, and this gave her
much uneasiness; but she misjudged her
German lover, as he renewed his vows
after she had got artificial arms and was
more devoted than ever, and did every
thing possible to tighten her suffering.

MARIETTA, o., December 26.-Sulli-

county. was jailed here last evening,
charged with assault with intent 70
commit rape.
The case is peculiarly aggravating.
About three months ago Gilpin, forti-
fled with recommendations as TO his
good character, applied TO the Chill
dren's Home for young girl. He stated
that he desired 10 give her q home.
Susie NJ. Call, q young girl fifteen years
of age, was called in and he took her 10
his horne.
A day or two since superintendent
Grosvener. of the home hearing that
the girl had been cruelty treated by
Gilpin, set out out 10 investigate, and
Becoming satisfied that such was the
case, started 10 take her back to the
Home. On the way she told him that
Gilpin had made repeated attempts on
her virtue, aud also on the virtue OF an
other young girl named Lula Goodman,
distant relative OF Gilpin's who was
making her home with him. Gilpin,
she said, at one time tore her under
clothing to shreds In his attempt, but
that she had successfully resisted him.
He had beaten both girls for telling
of his assaults. On arriving at Beverly
an affidavit was filed and a warrant
issued for GiIpin's arrest He was cap
tured and taken before Mayor Preston
OF that village, who, upon hearing the
testimony of the two girls, put the mis-
creant under heavy bond.
This he could not furnish, and he
was sent to the jail here. The neigh
borhood around Swift's is thoroughly
aroused, and unless the law gives salts
faction trouble may be looked for. The
prisoner is very large man, and his In
tended victim is small for her age, but

The cruiser San Francisco, flagship OF
the Pacific squadron, with Rear-Ad-
miral George Brown on board, put to
sea from this port this afternoon. 1t
was stated that the cruiser might put

that the cruiser has an unusually large

aboard added to the fact that num-
Der OF sailers and marines left on the

that the San Francisco is on her way TO
