When asked regarding the Graves fam
lily, gentleman said yesterday there never
were people standing higher in every ones
esteem than Mr.. and Mrs. Graves, Sr., and
the wife of DIR. Graves, but that il had
been generally understood that DIR. Graves
reputation was much as it has been repre-
sented 10y the press reports. "All my
sympathies were for the prosecution in the
Barnaby-Graves trial" said the gentle
man, but they are not now, because IL is
without precedent an unfair, dishonorable
proceeding, 50 far as one may judge from
the press reports. II looks as If the hemp
seed had been planted for the hangman's
moose by the prosecution before any evil
dence had ever been looked for, and they
were bound that rope should not be vast
ed.as long as DIR. Graves had neck to
slip the moose over. There has been evi-
dence allowed which would be scorned by
any counsel conscientiously trying TO per
form legal duties. But it must all mean
that il DR.. Graves is found guilty there
can be a new trial called on the illegal
technicalities which have marked the
trial as famous one, and one from which
future criminal lawyers will like TO es-
tablish precedent rulings"
