THE GRAVES TRIAL.

Closing Argument of the Defense
The Case to Go to the Jury To-day.
DENVER, Col, Dec. 30.-In the Graves
trial to-day Judge Macon made closing
argument for the defense. The judge
looked pale and sick and spoke in very
weak voice. sit has been my custom" he
said, Ito help q man rather than to sink
him deeper, knowing that it is better that
ninety mine men escape than that one man
be punished illegally. A man must be
tried by the rules of law. Courts are par
ticular that the juries shall try the man
by these rules. A rule of law is that it is
the duty of the prosecuting attorney to
protect the defendant from an Illegal con-
viction. When the representative of the
people suppresses testimony which would
aid the prisoner he violates his oath. If
the mere fact that an indictment had been
found is to deprive him of his rights
he is no longer entitled to the
protection of the law. The court
says this indictment is no evidence of
guilt, and your belief that he is guilty
must be so strong-in the language of
Chief Justice Shaw of Massachusetts,
strong and so unyielding that you would
act upon that belief. His honor says the
Indictment is no evidence of guilt; then it
is in the testimony you must look to find
evidence of guilt. His honor explains
what circumstantial evidence is, and you
must be convinced of the truth of the evil
dence beyond reasonable doubt. After
you have determined that the circumstance
is established you must believe that it is
absolutely consistent with the guilt of the
defendant. Judge Macon had his son read
the instructions to the jury on circumstan-
ial evidence. q.
Judge Macon, continuing his speech,
said Dr. Graves was innocent and he
thought the Worrell family the guilty
ones He said he did not think that Mrs.
Worrell, ST., had drank from the fatal bot
tie. He thought the whole thing was a
conspiracy to hang an innocent man and
throw Mrs. Barnaby's estate into the
hands of the Conrads. Attorney Belford,
for the prosecution, then spoke, the prin-
cipal point in his argument being that
there was not the slightest doubt as to
Graves guilt. At the end of Judge Bel
ford's speech the court adjourned. 1t is
probable that the case will be given to the
Jury some time tomorrow.

THE RAINBOW
BY MRS. AMELIA wELBY.


Isometimes have thoughts in my ioneliest hours
That lie on my heart like the dew on the
OF a ramble / took one bright afternoon
When my heart was as bright as flower in
The green earth was moist with the late fallen
showers
The breeze futtered down and blew open the
flowers
While a single white cloud, to its haven of rest
On the white wings of peace, foated of In the
west.
As threw back my tresses to catch tho cool
breeze
That scattered the rain drops and dimpled the
seas,
Far up the blue sky a rainbow unrolled
Its soft tinted pinions of purple and gold.
Twas born in a moment. yet quick as It's birth
1t had stretched to the utternost parts Of the
earth,
And fair as an angel it floated as free,
With wing on the earth and a wing on the sea.
How calm was tho ocean how gentle its swell
Like a woman's soft bosom it rose and it fell,
While It's light sparkling waves stealing laugh
When they saw the fair rainbow fall down to
No sweet hymn assembled. no murmur of
prayer
Yet fell that the spirit Of worship was there,
And bent my young head in devotion and lore
Meath the form of the angel that hoated
above.
How wide was the sweep Of it's beautiful wings
How boundless its circle how radiant It's rings !
If looked on the sky twas suspended in air;
IL looked on the ocean the rainbow was therej
Thus forming girdle as brilliant and whole
As the thought Of the rainbow that circled my
soul;
1t bent from this clouds and encircied the
world.
There are moments, think, when the spirit
receives
whole volumes Of Thoughts on its unwritten
When the folds of the heart in a moment I'M
Like the innermost leaves from the heart Of the
And thus when the rainbow had passed from
the sky
The thoughts it awoke were TOO deep to pass
by;
II left my full soul like the wings Of a dove,
All duttering with pleasure and fiuttering with
love.
know that each moment of rapture or pain
But shortens the links in life's mystical cnain:
/ know that my form, like that bow from the
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the
grave;
Yet, 81 when deaths shadows my bosom en-

When shrink from the thought of the coffin
and ghroud
May Hope, like the rainbow. my spirit enfold
In her beautiful pinions Of purple and gold.

The Club That Bears His Name Honors the
Memory of Mr. Hendricks.

The Hendricks Club celebrated the birth
day of Thomas A. Hendricks at its rooms
last evening that distinguished Democrat
having been born Sept. z. 1919. There were
fifty persons present, and speeches were
made by John W. Kern and Judge NIblack.
Mr.. Kern reviewed the services of Mr..
Hendricks at length, and gave a glowing
euiogy of his character. Judge Niblack
spoke of his connection with Mr..
Hendricks and the events that preceded
the latteTs accession to rulershlp of the
party in Indiana. The Judge spoke of the

and held it until his death. Hen

sonal magnetism, but name that was his

the State. who was also q United States
Senator. was named Hendricks. aud was his
uncle, SD the name was known in the State
for seventy years. and that had something
to do with directing attention to him.

and Tells of Visions.

George Matthews. of I'D South East
street. related his recent singular ex-
perience last night to q number of people
who assembled at his house. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr. Matthews was sudden
~ stricken dumb some six weeks since
while walking on the street. He regarded
it was q punishment inflicted by
tho Almighty, and when last Thursday
he just as suddenly recovered the use
of his tongue. he was LED to exclaim: Our
Father, who art IN heaven" in tones of
praise. During the period of silence he
had visions of hell and heaven, which he
described to his auditors last night The
meeting was marked with deep religious
fervor. and the experience of Mr.. Matthews
was esteemed an evidence of the infinite
power of God. Rev. Mr.. BARTLETT, pastor of
a Congregational Church at New Ross.

no COUNCIL MEETING.
Important Fiscal Legislation Must Await the
Pleasure of the Democratic Members

Messrs. Cooper. Dunn and Casper. all
Republicans. were the only members of the
Council present at s o'clock last night. and
consequently no meeting was held. Just
at this season the business of the Council
is the most important Of the year. for now
is when all tho financial legislation of tho
year is to come up. The tax levy
for the ensuing year must be made. the
estimates of the controller considered and
tho annual appropriations made. The
Council has thus far passed two appropria-
ton ordinances, and both times the
ordinances were formulated by the con-
troller and simply accompanied by
ably the only member of the Council who
knew Just where the money was coming
from and what 1t was going for. This Is
not the theory OF the charter at all. The
law requires the controller and Mayor To
su bmit to the Council estimates of receipts
ana expenditures made out with the great
est possible particularly, in order that the
Council may know as nearly as may
be what every cent 1t apprOpriates is to be
expended for. 1t further requires that
these estimates he referred to the finance
committee, and that after carefully con-
sidering them that committee shall report
such an appropriation ordinance as it may
deem wise. The charter thus cOntemplates
buaC Inc COUNCIL 6udll Lake HI active anu
gent part in determining the scheme
of expenditures for the year instead of
simply holding a veto power upon what
may originate with the administration.
Councilman Rassmann, chairman of the
finance committee. yesterday put himself
on record against any scheme to rush the
fiscal legislation through in series of spe-
cisl meetings close together. as all the ad-
ministration schemes have been put
through this year. 'Yon are right" said
he to a Journal reporter. with whom he was
discussing the subject; the appropriation
ordinance ought to originate with our COM
mittee. The last one came in and was
divided up among the different COM
mittees. | am going TO insist this
time that the estimates be referred to
our committee and that it be given a week
or more. if need be, to consider the matter.
] guess Mr.. Pearson was right when he said
on the floor that was the only member
who knew Just what the last one meant.
Every member of the Council ought TO
know just what he is voting on"
Mr.. Rassmann thinks the city tax lew
will probably be fixed at 20 cents. 1t 10 the
business of the controller to recommend to
the Council what this levy shall be. The
Council can fix it lower, but not higher.
