GHAvEs A MURDERER.
Convicted Of Poisoning Mrs. Bsrnsby
Full COnfesaion.

Convicted Of Poisoning Mrs. Bsrnsby.
A Full Confession.
Sensation followed sensation at the
time of the close of the great Barnaby
murder case, that has been on in the
courts of Denver, Colo, for severai
weeks.
Within the space of "a hours DR.. Graves
was convicted, made confession and at
tempted suicide in Jail. His wife's reason
is dethroned, and his aged mother is
dying.
Colonel Ballou, whom Graves in his
confession says instigated the poisoning,
has fed from Denver. In another day he
would have been arrested, charged with
being coconspirator in the death of the
late Mrs. Barnaby.
The jury's verdict was murder in the
first degree. 1t was out only two hours.
When the clerk had finished reading the
sealed verdict scream, which will for
ever ring in the ears of the jury, broke
the stiffness, and Mrs. Graves seized her
husband about the neck, covering his
face with kisses.
Notice OF a new trial was Immediately
given by the defendants counsel.
"a Two deputy sheriffs escorted Graves to
4 The jail, to whom they claim he made
full confession. Graves, however, de-
MES this, and clings to his original story.
During the night he was prevented from
suiciding by a guard. A strong effort Is
70 be made to get him a new trial.
STORY OF THE CRIME
In March of last year quart bottle OF
whisky was mailed from Boston to Mrs.
]. B. Barnaby, Denver, Colo. The bottle
was unsealed and passed through many
nands, among others, the hostlers In
Denver.
Mrs. Barnaby was then in California
with Mrs. Worrell, but returned on April
O. The next day the package containing
the bottle was secured by her, and that
evening she and Mrs. Worrell drank
quite freely. Both were soon taken vic,
lently i'll, and, after six days Of suffering,
Mrs Barnaby died Mrs. Worrell is still
8 sufferer from the obnoxious dose.
An examination of the whiskey showed
that there was in it arsenite of potassium
in considerable quantities.
DR.. Graves had for years been close
professional and social friend of Mrs.
Barnaby, who was very wealthy. AT
one time she made will bequeathing
him $25, 900.
He is . resident of Providence, r. l.
Suspicion pointed to him as the sender of
the fatal bottle, the motive alleged being
that he wanted to secure the legacy of
$4,000. However, the will had been
changed.
La the trial experts identified the writ
ing on the package as that of DIR. Graves.
Tbs doctor had a large medical practice.

The United States Patent Office will
exhibit at tho Worlds Fair as COM

models of all ,,4e important American
Epatented inventions, with a view of
Eshowing the great advance in the sew
eral arts, which is due in no small de-
gree to the encouragement and pro-
lection afforded by the patent system.
Many of the desired models are not
now in the possession OF the Patent
Office, owing to loss by fire and the
fact that in recent years models have
not gene: ally been required. The
available appropriation is not sufficient
to enable the Office to make the missing
models, ans; therefore the Commits

SAID IN OTHER PAPERS.

Springfield Advance: Prof. Nc
Cleary's candidacy for the COMPRESSION
al nomination has caused him to be
left out of the list of school institute
conductors. Even politicians must
face the question of loss and gain.
Northfield News: Reports from
Russia indicate that unless there is an
early change for the better the crops
will be worse this year than they were
last. This alarming condition of af
fairs is due partly to the bad weather,
partly to insect pests and partly to the
apathy and Indifference of farmers in
the famine stricken districts.
American Economist: 1t would be
we'll to note, in view of Mr.. Clevelands
probable nomination at Chicago, that
the leader of his forces there and the
one above all others he will have to
thank for his success, if he is nomin-
ated, is himself typical monopolistic
millionaire, tho practical owner Of
New Works street railway system and
a leading spirit in the monstrous
Standard Oil combination. Yet Mr..
Cleveland will pose as the candidate
of the common people, who is waging
unrelenting war on commercial com
binations of all kinds.
Mankato Free Press: Rev. Anna
Shaw, of the Methodist church, and
who is probably one of the most able
and eloquent of the lady orators of the
country, was recently called upon to
address temperance meeting where
it was proposed to pass resolutions
testing against the opening of the
Worlds Fair on Sunday, and is re-
ported to have said; "You had better
not invite me to speak. I do not be-
lieve in closing the gates of the fair on
Sunday, and thus turning over very
large part of the great crowd that will
be at Chicago to the devil" There is
no question but that the closing of the
gates on Sunday will mean a rich har-
vest to the haunts of vice, and as to
choosing between the two upon Sun
dav, it would seem that the question
of morality would be helped on by al
lowing the vast crowd which will gath
er in Chicago at that time, to wander
through the Exposition grol Is on
Sunday.
The Louisville Courier -Journal, ed
tied by one of the ablest democratic
editors in the country, says that be-
yond any question, the president is
the strongest candidate the republic
ans could have put in the field. If
anybody has a doubt upon that point
let him read the mastery and incisive
nominating speech of Chauncey De-
pew, which lays out the whole repub-
lican plan of the campaign as embod-
led by the candidacy of it's subject. If
anything had been wanting to the
nomination of Mr.. Harrison this
speech would have supplied it, and it
will at once take rank as a solid and
superb piece of convention oratory by
the side of the famous speeches of In
gersoll, Garfield and Conkling. 1t
shows us upon the threshold of the
canvass just what we shall have to go
against; whilst every indication points
to party back of it, quite as united
and harmonious as parties are gener-
ally wont to be.

Letting expressions of various English
newspapers upon Cleveland's nomina-
ton, among them the following:
The London Graphic, in it's issue of
June %, says with fine British frank
ness:
Englishmen will watch MIR. Cleve-
lands campaign with cordial sympa-
thy, for not onl y is his tariff policy in
accord with the orthodox economic
school of England, but his party plat
form wisely condemned the arrogant
and irritating foreign policy of its
opponents.
The London Star decided yesterday
that "Mr. Cleveland is the best type of
the American statesman" and that if
he does not win it twill be because he
is to sound reformer."
Squarely in line with the statements
of the London Times and Graphic is
the declaration made by the London
Evening News and Post on June II.
The Post said with perfect truth: "a
Republican victory at the polls in No
vember would be a blow to the free
trade party in the states and would
retard for considerable period the
progress of those sound commercial
and economic doctrines which under
lie British commercial greatness and
alone maintain British commercial as
cendancy.'
The laudable anxiety of our British
contemporaries to perpetuate, at the
expense of the United States, those
economic doctrines (which alone main
tain British commercial ascendancy"
accounts for the following editorial ex-
tract from the great London trade
journal, Engineering, in its issue Of
April 8, 1892: "There is somewhat
general idea in this countryccthat the
Mckinley Tariff bill will be repealed
before long,or at all events he so much
modified that the sting will be taken
out of those clauses most objection
able to British manufacturers; and it
is for this reason that the hopes of the
Democrats for the approaching presi-
dental election are so largely shared
in this country.

that it is no longer merely an insti-

to use modern can't phrase, that it
is an User" with an actual enrolment
in all its departments last year of 1874

the present status of the university, is
that the College of Agriculture, once

AS foreshadowed in last weeks
Gazette, the democratic convention
nominated Mr. Cleveland on the first
ballot, after a session made stormy by
the Tammany and Hill faction, in
which the latter was hopelessly
squelched. While this is greatly to
the credit of the convention, il renders
New York very dubious ground for
the democrats this fall. Adlai Steven
son, of Illinois, was nominated for.
vice president, with small opposition
He is something of stranger to most
voters, but the records show that he
has served several terms in congress,
and that he was assistant postmaster
general under President Cleveland.
The Gazette intended to have an alb
stract Of the convention proceedings
and platform on the first page this
week, but was disappointed, and has
only space to say that the platform is
frankly committed to a tariff for
revenue only, while on the silver
question it is uncertain and unsatis-
factory to free coinage democracy.
The rest of the platform is mainly de-
voted to denunciation of the Repub-
lican party. With New York and
Indiana practically lost to them in
advance, about the only chance for
Cleveland's success appears to be
through peoples party disaffection in
the west, and that chance is not a
bright one.
