 DENVER, Dec. 1.-The Graves trial was resumed to-day. The court was again packed with people, who manifested eager interest in the proceedings. Dr. Helden was recalled to the stand. He produced the exhibits of his analysis and Judge Ma con examined them.
 "You used sulphuric acid and zinc in isolating the arsenica" asked Judge Macon.
 "Yes, sir"
 "Does not sulphuric acid and zinc al- ways contain arsenica"
 "No, sir. It is an easy matter to obtain these two substances which do not contain arsenic"
 Judge Macon then endeavored to have the doctor admit that the glass contained arsenic and that the glass jar, in which he placed the remains of Mrs. Barnaby before the analysis, might contain this poison in sufficient quantity to impregnate the wis 
 doctor stoutly denied. Judge Macon then asked if the acid in the stomach had at tackled the zinc in the stopper of the jar would it have extracted sufficient from it2
 "Very little, even if arsenic were in it. There was about third of an ounce weight to the stopper. The percentage of arsenic in zinc varies from nothing up wards"
 ''Arsenic in solid mass of wall paper, as in dyes, will evaporate in the air so that it may be poisoned by it?"
 "Such has been the case"
 eff this arsenic in the air should come in contact with sulphuric, zinc, etc., would not it combinev'
 .'I think it would not combine2"
 eff it came in contact with liquid con- taining oxygen would it not combinea'
 "It might float on it, but I do not think it would combine"
 "You say you found twentieth of grain in the liver. forty ninth in the kidney and about fifteenth in the stom- achl"
 "Yes."
 "Altogether twelfth of a grain in the viscera. and you say that that could not have been taken into the jar from the air"
 "No sir Not from the wall paper, but it could have been absorbed if there was arsenous air about it."
 The doctor then stated that MT. Worrell had employed and paid him for making the examination and that he expected further compensation from the prosecu- ton.
 The direct examination which followed was for the purpose of showing that the arsenic found in the remains could not have come there by any means intimated by the defense, but must be the result of poison taken into the stomach when the person was alive.
 Dr. A. N. Holmes testified to his having been called in to treaG Mrs. Barnaby and Mrs. Worrell. He called in Dr. Griffin for consultation, and from the symptoms they agreed that both ladies were suffering from irritant poisoning, and treated them accordingly. He learned that their illness was caused from about two tablespoonfuls of liquid that each drank from a bottle supposed to be whiskey. He became sus- picious that it contained poison, and after he and Dr. Griffin had taken out about an ounce for analysis they sealed up the bottle and turned it over to Worreu. He recog- nized Mrs. Worrell, who was in the room, as one of the ladies he had treated. He was present at the autopsy and saw portions of the viscera placed in clean jars sealed and turned over to Undertaken Rogers, the coroner having refused to nc- cept them or even hold an inquest. Dr. Bonesteel, the physician who was in at tendance upon Mrs. Barnaby at the time she died, gave the most important testi- mony of the day. He testified in the most emphatic terms that she died of ar senical poisoning. The defense then asked why he had given certificate that death was caused from congestion of the lungs He replied that congestion of the lungs was the immediate cause of death and Ll-I x1. q lso1, would have caused death had not conges- | fion sat in
