mediately answered. MRS. Bennett, Of
Blue Mountain lake, N Y.,n who, hs
claims, was bitter enemy of Mrs Barna-
by through jealousy.
The Evidence in the Case.
Dr. Graves residence, on Benefit street,
is under the watchful eyes OF a couple OF
strangers, who never leave their post night
or day They are supposed to be Inspector
Byrnes' men,
Unfortunately that portion OF the wrap
per which bore the address of Mrs. Bar
naby at Denver has been lost, only the in
scription, with best wishes, accept this
fine old whisky from friends in the woods,
which was attached to the bottle, being
preserved. Consequently IL is impossible
to say whether the hand that wrote the
inscription also wrote the address. Evi-
dence, however, is preserved showing con
olusiyely that the package was sent from
Boston, and the fragment Of the wrappers
containing the stamps and the Boston
postmarks was placed in the hands Of the
local police. Five fifteen cent and two ten
cents stamps--twenty cents more than
was necessary-were used, and it is barely
possible that through the purchase u
these rarely used stamps some clew can be
reached
The excess Of stamps indicates that the
sender Of the package, in order TO avoid
detection, did not have the package
weighed, but took the precaution Of put
ting upon it enough stamps to insure its
delivery. The wrapper is OF common
brown paper. The caneelling mark of the
Boston postoflice is seen plainly on the
stamps
DR.. Graves Was There April 2I.
Evidence still seems to accumulate tend
ng to show that Dr. Graves was in Provi-
dence on Tuesday, April 81, when he claims
to have started for Denver on the Sunday
previous. Ted Bennett, Of the Olive
Branch hotel, Danielsonville, reiterates his
statement that he met the doctor on Tues
day on Westminster street
ID. S. Simmons still maintains that Ben
nett told him Of seeing Graves on that day.
Two ladies were with Bennett and Sim
mons on train that particular Tuesday,
one Of whom was a school teacher whose
vacation began on that date, which fixes
the day. Bookkeeper Edward Fenner, OF
the What Cheer stables, says he remem-
bers seeing DIR. Graves hurrying toward
the depot on Tuesday evening, April 81
Fenner's description of the clothing the
man wore and the sachels he carried tally
perfectly with the dress and hand baggage
Of the doctor as he alighted from the train
upon his arrival from Denver Monday
evening.
Arrests May BE Made.
The fact has come out that DIR. Graves,
when in Denver, neither saw the remains
Of Mrs Barnaby nor ASKED to see them.
Mr.. Conrad, the husband Of the elder Bar
naby daughter, who is considered to be the
present head of the family, will arrive
from Billings, Mon, today, when decisive
action win be taken Lawyer Rose, Of
Chester, Pa, will also arrive with Mrs
Barnabys last will. Indeed, arrests may
be made within the next twenty-four
hours. 1t has been definitely ascertained
that Dr. Graves is beneficiary under Mrs
Barnaby's will to the amount of S26, 600
This is Mrs. Barnaby's last will. 1t was
drawn last January in Chester, Pa.
Among the benefciaries in the second
will, which was drawn up by the elder
Worrall, who was at one time wealthy
resident of Chester, is Mrs. Worrall, the
companion Of Mrs. Barnaby when she was
travelling west, and the daughters of the
deceased are also mentioned. The second
will, by which Graves would have inherit
ed thousands, may still be in existence
and would have been the last one had not
Mrs. Barnaby lost faith in him.
Mrs Barnaby wrote Graves four differ
ent letters, asking him to return the second
will, but she received no reply. Last Janu-
airy Mrs. Barnaby called on Lawyer Rose.
Of Chester, Pa, who drew up the third
will
They VIII Contest the VIII.
Regarding the wills Of Mrs Barnaby, it
Is believed that her physical and mental
