DENVER, May 11.-This week will fur.
nish sensational developments in the
Barn aby case. 1t may be premature to
announce, but it is more than probable
that IN Indictment will be brought by
the grand jury against one of the par.
ties at present en- route from the east to
Denver.
1t has been learned beyond a doubt
that Mrs. Barnaby had been in the
habit of receiving bottles of medicine
while travelling Some of these were
sent 10 Denver while she was on her way
to thu Pacific coast, but what the medi.
cine was compounded of has not been
ascertained, or if it has the detectives
have not made it public. Professor
Headden has discovered traces of arse
nical poisoning in both the stomach and
kidney.
A Madame belmont, clairvoyant and
fortune teller, told a story how Mrs.
Barn hby had written her from the coast,
desiring to know her future. Madame
belmont replied by warning her of one
she esteemed as friend, and concluded
by fotetelling she would not die u nat
ural death.
DIR. Graves and wife are expected here
this evening, while the Worrells, Con.
RAIDS, and probably Sallie Hanley, will
arrive early tomorrow.

Everybody here is asking how DIR.
Graves, if he admits tho sending of
bottle of straight" whisky, is going to
explain the substitution of the poisoned
liquor which caused Mrs. Barnaby's
death.
Nov on this particular point there is
this interesting feature. When DR..
GRAY es arrived in this city on Monday
night, April 27, he was asked if he
knew anything about that bottle OF
whisky as it was then called. His reply
was: II know nothing at all, nothing,
absolutely nothing. / don't know where
it came from or who sent it.n If he adj
mits now that he knows something
about the mailing of the package, it
would seem impossible for him to recon.
cile the two statements.

The Doctor Lured On.

The doctor has been cunuingly lured
on to tacitly admit that he sent the bot
tie, and that when he mailed it it was
filled with pure and harmless whisky.
He has, SO it is asserted, taken this as
cue, and has gone to Denver to tell that
story When he tells this to the coro-
ners jury then the Pinkerton story will
be told.
1t is declared here that when DR..
GRAY es lands in Denver he will practi-
cally be under arrest. This comes from
one who has been in close connection
with the Conrads and the detectives all
the time. One of the most surprised
men will be DR.. Graves when he sees q
gentlemen about five feet ten inches
high, weighing 200 pounds, who will,
when he takes the witness stand. answer
to tho name of Orinton T. Hanscom. DR..
GRAY bs met the gentleman several times
last week at the Barnaby mansion and
was introduced to him as Charles Con
rad, d brother of John Fl. Conrad. To
the supposed Charles Conrad he talked
quite freely, and is said to have given
many valuable pointers" such as detec.
tiyes hunt for.
Brother" Conrad will reach Denver
at tho same time that DR.. Graves does,
and he will register at the hotel as In

question the governor spoke as II his hands
