fir.ught out

DENvER, Dec. 28.-In the Barnaby-
Graves trial the defense opened the
case by placing Edward Fiold and
Colonel Ballou, the latter OF counsel for
the defense, on the stand. Nothing new
was brought out.
Two experts on handwriting sworo
thnt, although the Inscription on the
whisky bottle was similar in writing to
the letters written 10y Graves, they did
not think that both writings were by
the same person. In cross-exaniina.
ton, however, both experts admitted
that many Letters OF the Inscription on
the battle and those in Graves letters
were the same.
J. A. Bennett, veterinary surgeon,
was called 10 prove that arsenic OF po-
tasslum was sometimes kept Ia livery
stables. The point to be made was to
show that, a. the bottle OF whisky re.
mained In the buggy In the stable over
night before being delivered to Mrs.
Barnaby, Il seems n. II the hostlers
might have drunk the contents Of the
botile and, TO escape detection, refilled
II from the nearest bottlu at hand. In
this way they might have stumbled on
q bottle Of arsenio Of potash aud einptied
II into the original bottle. Upon cross
examination they could not name any
positive instance In which they had
