The Stricken Wife and Mother.
DENVER, Jan. 4-Dr. Graves has made
!. partial confession of his guilt, impli-
eating Colenel Ballou in the death of Mrs.
Barnaby, and the colonel has fled. Be-
fore the verdict of the jury was made
known the Providence lawyer made his
preparations to escape. He left the court
room at o'clock Saturday night after
listening to the greater portion of District
Attorney Stevens closing argument. He
went directly to the Vallejo, the private ho-
tel where hewas stopping, and hurriedly
packed his belongings. He called Man
ager Evans, of the hotel, to his apart
ment and told him that hs desired to set
tic his bills.
Graves discriminating Remarks.
One hour after his secret departure the
startling verdict, condemning DR.. Graves
to DEATH was found Before the lawyers
departure he was accused of being an ac-
complice of DR.. Graves. 1t is supposed that
this, coupled with premonition of what
the verdict would be, frightened him. On
his way to Jail after his fate had been pro-
nounced by the jury DR.. Graves made dam
aging statements about Colonel Ballou.
HIf Ballou had not come out here, would
never have been convicted" he said. III

Mrs. Graves received many dispatches of
coincidence yesterday, but none was from

the destination of his ticket was. Speak
ing of Colonel Ballou's fight John Con-
rad, prosecuting witness for the state,
said: although Colonel Ballou has fled
it is as easy to bring him back as it was
for him to disappear from Denver. 1 will
follow him to the uttermost parts of the
world" The grand jury will meet tomor-

LONDON, Jan. 4.-rhc excitement over

as to the intentional nature of the affair.
There is fully as much reason to consider
it an accident, or to suppose it the work of
an aimless crank as to assume that there
was a plot to blow anybody up. Still the
officials hold to their theory that the eX-
plosion was the work of Fenians, and

ications throughout Ireland and renewing
their meddling in Irish politics.
