TOOLATE FORCLASSIFICATION
A Bondsman Gave Him Up, but He Is
Again Free.

Again Free.
The path of James Lynch, RED" Owen
McElroy's bartender, has not been strewn
with roses during the past month. To
day the grand jury heard the States
witnesses as the assault on Edward Nc
Govern which nearly cost the latter his
life, and on which case Lynch is now un-
der 500 bail.
For the same offence McCiovern brought
suit for 5000 damages and after several
DAYS of anxious waiting bondsmen were
procured who were willing TO assist
Lynch in regaining his liberty. On Monday
one of these bondsmen declined to be re-
sponsible for Lynch any longer and again
Lynch went behind the Court House
bars. There he remained with his
thoughts to entertain him, until yesterday
when Henry G.. Dorsey, who has brought
more smiles to prisoners faces than any
ten men in Rhode Island, came along and
attached his signature 10 the document
which allowed Lynch to see the outside
world again.

HILLS'S TRICkERY.
How He VIII Secure "A Legislative Majority
on Joint Ballot.

ALBANY, Dec. 10.-Gov. Hill seems to
persist in his plan to control the Legisla-
ture on joint ballot. The Republicans
having beaten him thus far in regard to
the Senate they are likely, by the decision
of the Court of Appeals to have Is to the
Democrats IA. This makes majority of
4, which must be overcome somehow in
the Assembly.
Assemblyman O'Dair, who was elected
by the Republicans and County Demo
Gratis against the Tammany Democrats,
has just pronounced in favor of the Demo
Gratis. This makes the Assembly 66 Dem
ocrats to % Republicans. and the result is
n tie on Joint ballot. With this majority
the Democrats can easily remove Monroe
of Onondaga in case he is given the certifi-
cate by the Court of Appeals, as is likely
TO be the case.
The outcome of all these suppositions
is that the Democrats will have "A majority
OF two on joint ballot.

Anoth,r Crush This Morning.

DENVER. Col, Dec. l0.-Mrs. DR.. Graves
made her first appearance in court since
the trial began, this morning. She has
improved in health though she is suffer
ing somewhat from cough incident to
la grippe. There was the usual large
crowd this morning and il fought and
struggled for seats. Postal Clerks Deven-
ish OF Providence and Domett of Boston
were not present however. After testify
ing about the stamps on the package they
left for home last night The State is
completely satisfied with their testimony
DIR. j. A. Sewail, who analyZed the CON
tents of the bottle sent TO Mrs. Barnaby,
was the first witness this morning He
swore that the bottle contained eleven
fluid ounces of liquor, which consisted of
81 per cent. of alcohol; 2l3 per cent. of
stance which colored it dark. The arsenic
was in the form of arsenite of potassium.
and there were twelve grains to the liquid
ounce. DIR. Sewall then detailed how he
made the analysis
James Mcfarland who followed DR.
Sewell, swore that the bottle of whiskey
had never been out Of his possession, and
whenever the experts desired any of
the contents of the bottle he allowed
them to remove the liquid only in
his presence. Mcfarland opened the bat
tie to-day in court, and some of the coun-
sci tasted gngerly of the liquid, while the
others and the jury smelled of IT,
DR. Sewall was then recalled and eX.
amned at lengtSHs TO his tests for ar
senic. When DIR. >ewall concluded his
testimony "a recess was taken.

Time-Eastern Witnesses Who Have
Testified Returning Home - Judge
Furman's Speech "a disappointment.


DENVER. Col, Dec 10.-In his opening
address for the defence, in the Graves case
yesterday, Judge Furman declared that
DIR. Graves was innocent, but he failed TO
lay bare "A single fact which would indi-
cate how he is going to prove his asser-
ton. 1t was an eloquent speech, full of
grand word painting but the prosecution
was made none the wiser as to the course
which will be pursued by the defence,
Judge Furman denied that the doctor had
ever admitted that he sent bottle OF
whiskey TO Mrs Barnaby, and he denied
that he and the unfortunate woman were
bad friends at the time of her death.
There was good deal of secrecy observ-
ed by the Worrels at the time of Mrs Bar
naby's death and the defence has seized on
this as "A suspicious circumstance against
them. Judge Furman indicated in his
speech that they knew more about her
death than they care 10 tell, and if the de-
fence can clear the doctor at their expense,
why, we'll and good. Old Mr.. Worrell
was bankrupt. and young Mr.. Worrell
wanted her money 10 use in his real estate
speculations. For this reason, Judge Fur
man said her death would benefit them, as
she had bequeathed $4,000 to Mrs. Wor-
rell, Sr
This is very plausible theory, but how
the defence will combat the alleged ad-
mission of the doctor that he did send a
bottle of pure whiskey remains to be
seen. AS indicated by Mr.. Stevens
speech, the entire case will stand or fall
on the testimony of John Conrad. Hans
com. the pinkerton detective, aud the
Providence and Boston newspaper men.
Judge Furman has "A very poor opinion of
these men. He said to-day that Conrad
had purchased the Boston papers and had
bought Eastern newspaper men at the
rate of S30each.
tors war record and on his generosity
There was one thing which he said that
will probably have its effect on the jury,
and that was that the Worrclls, the Ben
netts and old Mr.. Hickey, who are inn
portant witnesses, are all beneficiaries
under Mrs. Barnaby's will.
The judges burst of eloquence lasted
for three hours. The general verdict was
that il was very pretty, but did not eX-
plain many of the most important links
I'm the chain of evidence against DIR.
Graves. DR.. Graves, however, was well
pleased with it, and so were the few
friends who have stood by him since his
trouble began.
After recess the taking of testimony
was begun. j. j. Deverish, of Provi-
dcnce, aud George w Domett, a post
office official from Boston, gave evidence
showing that DIR. Graves bought fve-cent
stamps in Providence like those on the
bottle of poison. and that no stamps of "a
like Issue were obtainable in Boston. At
this point the session ad iourned.

A FEAT OF MEMORY.

William Mcdonald Wood is a poet
who has ceased singing since his grsver du-
ties as managing editor OF a great Brooklyn
paper have pressed upon him, but he yet
retains a Keen interest in the poems of other
men, and thereby hangs a tale.
Away back IN 1855 MIR. Wood read with
much enjoyment a long poem by James B.
Mason descriptive Of the battle OF Bannock-
burn. beginning. after few words of in
PRODUCTION:
The English king had sworn an oath
That ere the Baptist's day
Near Stirling towers should England's host
And Scotland's meet in fray.
In this 1891 the notion seized Mr.. Wood to
reproduce from memory this poem and print
it in his paper. He had not seen it, scarcely
thought of it, in twenty-six years, but at
once sat down and WI ote out the whole 200
lines and over-more than column of the
newspaper In fine type-without error or
hesitation.
To me this feat of memory seems marvel
Gus, but Mr.. Wood. who can remember
pretty nearly the whole Bible and as much
Of the best poetry of all ages as any man
needs to know, takes it quite as matter of
course.
Curiously enough this gifted Scotch
American has only the average tenacity
of memory for peoples names and faces.
