GRAVES CASE TO-DAY.
1t May be Argued Before the Colora-
do Supreme Court.
THE DR.. WANTS TO LECTURE
And Has Signed q Contract With a Hart
ford Lecture Bureau and is Now En-
gagged in Writing His Lecture In Hi.
Cell at Canon City.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEwsJ

DENVER, Cot, Dec. 5.-Dr. T. Thatcbe
Graves of Providence, X. l., now in the
Canon City penitentiary. has signed an
agreement with lecture bureau to de-
liver series of lectures in every part of
the country on Colorado Justice; or, NV
Trial and Penitentiary Life"
The lecture bureau is the Hartford
Lyceum Association OF Hartford, CT, and
the negotiation has been in progress for
several months; The documents whereby
the doctor binds himself to appear before
the public was graced a couple of weeks
ago with the doctors signature
Ihe engagement is one Of the most re-
markable on record.
The man who makes it is under SEN
tence OF death by hanging. HIS execu-
tlon has not already taken place because
the highest court OF the State stayed IL.
ana his tate Is now in the hands of that
court TO be decided to-day or to- morrow.
Most men under such circumstances
would be consumed with anxiety, and
would pass the time in feverish hoping
and fearing, instead of calmly max
ing arrangements TO deliver an ex-
tended series of lectures at stated sum
per night.
The extraordinary nerve aud self-cou-
troll or the celebrated prisoner, which
inarkeu us uemeanor during the whole
OF the long trial, was never shown with
more strength than in this proceeding.
IL illustrates his unbounded confidence
In his fortune, and that he believes favor
able action by the court 20 be certain.
The case is on the calendar of the SUI
preme Court for to-day. Should the de-
cision favor DIR. Graves there is little
doubt that he will be able to deliver the
his cell
There is not the least possibility thar
the case will ever be tried again. John
IL. conrad, who bore the enormous ex-
pense of the last trial. said aU its conclu-
sion that he had done his duty, and that
DIR. Graves was henceforth in the hands
OF the State of Colorado.
The witnesses are so widely separated.
and the expense and difficulty of bring.
ing them to Denver would be so great
that the county would scarcely attempt
to get them here for another trial.
The fate OF DIR. Graves, therefore. hinges
on the next thirty-six hours.

The concert was given in the Grand

himself as very well pleased with his re-
ception. He was afraid that the repo rts
from the West that the famous band was
TO be broken up would be believed here
and that in consequence few people
would go to hear the band, no matter
how well it might play. People might
imagine that without Gilmore it would
be Hamlet" with Hamlet left out.
Mr.. Reeves has secured the old contract
with the Twenty second Regiment aud
the contract for Manhattan Beach next
summer, and says that the organization
will positively not disband.- d.-0aiy two oil
