D0DGING THE MOOSE.
DR.. GRAVES COUNSEL FIGHTING
HARD FOR HIS LIFE.

A Supersedeas Asked for Pending an In
vestisation of Accusations Made in the
Bill of Exceptions Filed by the De-
fense-JudGe Rising Criticised.
DENVER, Jan. 27.-The brief in the
Graves case is one of the longest ever filed
In the supreme court in this state. 1t makes
many accusations, especially against
Judge Rising, intimating that he threw
his belef OF DIR. Graves guilt into the Jury
box, and committed repeated errors in the
admission of testimony. The brief says: =
There was manifest error in the seventh in
struction given by the trial court to the jury,
as follows: 1.-THE court insructs you that the
law requiring you to be satisfied of the de-
fendant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt in
order TO warrant a conviction does not require
that you should be satisfied beyond u reason
able doubt Of each link in the chain of cir
cumstances relied upon TO establish the de-
fendant's guilt"
To which plaintiff in error then and there
duly excepted, because, under this instruction,
the jury were authorized to convict the plain
I'LL In error of murder in the first degree,
Upon Doubtful Evidence,
when they were not satisfied beyond a rea-
sonable doubt as to each, any. or all of the al
legged links in the chain of circumstances re-
lied upon TO establish the guilt of plaintiff in
error,
They were not required to believe beyond
reasonable doubt that any of the facts or cir
cumstances essential to conviction were true.
Under such instruction as this a defendant
can be convicted and deprived of his life upon
a mere chain or bundle of evidence.
This instruction is in perfect harmony with
the course pursued by the trial judge, as will
be shown hereafter, in allowing the states
witnesses to testify as to their suspicious and
opinions as to he ,ol % of the bottle contain
ing the liquid which it is claimed produced
Mrs Barnaby's death.
Argument upon this point is unnecessary, in
view OF the decision rendered by Judge Hail
in the case of Clark VS.. the people. which was
a case, like the one at the bar, of circumstan-
tial evidence alone.
Error is Also Charged
in the sixteenth instruction to the jury.
In this, Judge Rising said that the jury
should weigh the letter written by DR..
Graves on March %, and if it appeared to
have been written to divert suspicion, it
should be considered against the plaintiff
phe brief holds that there were no facts
Es0 which such -nn ipsllllltion should.
have been given. as the only testimony on
that point was that given by Dr. Graves.
This point is commented en- as follows:
This was clear usurpaipn, on the part of
the trial judge, of the functions of the jury,
and was in violation of the policy of the law in
all of the American states, where, either by
constitutional provisions, by statutes or by
judicial decisions, it has been attempted, so
far as possible, to keep judge out of the jury
