CAN THE PEOPLE BE rRUSTED9

Congress will never cede the arid lands
to the several states in which they are
located, 1t would be a crime to do So
Northeastern Lire Stock journal.
Can the people of Wyoming better af-
ford to have congress to look after the
public lands within the state thar to
trust each other2 The solution of this
question, it seems TO us, IN a measure in
wolves the question OF whether or not re-
publics are a failure. If the people
themselves, the source OF all power in a
popular government, cannot be safely
trusted to manage their OWE affairs. but
must have them managed by a congress
which in the nature Of things cannot
fully appreciate the local conditions, then
it must be ACKNOWLEDGED that the republi-
eau form of government is a failure for its
very foundation, the citizenship OF the
country, is based upon irresponsibility and
corruption. This view of the case THE
LEADER cannot entertain.
We have advocated the cession Of the
public lands for several years past because
we believe state ownership would add
financial strength and solidity to the COM
NOR wealth and soon place US alongside Of
the older and more powerful Western
states. Texas. which owns all OF Its pub
lie lands, is a gliiterlng example of the
manifold benefits arising from such
ownership and the %cession Of the swamp
lands to the Southern states has proven a
source OF wealth altogether unsupported
at the time the general government relin-
pushed its claim to those lands.
10 the belief that these lands once
owned by the state would be the source
Of much wealth to Wyoming (though now
of little value to the general government
we rave earnes ly favored their cession
aud have so far seen no arguments adj
vanced to lead us to a contrary view or
even a modification of the opinion herein
expressed.
, 1892-01-30

We have here what Is conceded to be
one of the most remarkable nets Of circum-
stantial condemnation, without a direct
proof OF the murderous act, that has Of
late years attracted the attention of the
whole country. The prosecution fairly
swamped the culprit with duplicating
motives and suspicious conduct. The re-
suit has been that everybody believes DR..
Graves committed the murder, and nobody
knows it.
Not the least remarkable and certainly
the saddest of the eNpositions made by the
trial is the bitterness and acrimony which
this harmless and doting old woman's
money produced. 1t proved a curse indeed
TO her few declining years and threatens in
the contest over the will to become a
still wider and intenser source of strife.
There is "A peculiar aspect to the proceed
ings since the conviction, which only be-
trays the im~placable spirit of the parties
who believe DIR. Graves to be guilty. 1t is
seen in the attempt to foist a confession
upon the public, and in the determination
of Mr.. Conrad to fight the rest of the bat
tie in Providence, whittier he has repaired
under the very windows of Colonel Dam
iel r. Ballou, who has already bad him ar
rested for Islander. NYM CRINKLR.

Up to this point the malign purpose APP
pears TO nave worked definitely and to
the desired end The bottle had apparent
ly come loaded with poison straight across
the continent to its mark, and whoever hnd
sent IL that distance with murderous intent
must have deliberately foreseen the dire
possibility OF its killing anybody who tast-
ed its contents.
Now set in the criminal proceedings. A
man away off In Helena suddenly comes
into view with a grim determination to
give the rest of his life to finding the muir
derer OF Mrs. Barnaby. 1t is her son-in-
law, Mr.. John H. Conrad. He comes
straight to Denver. and it is noticeable
how he focuses the suspicion at once upon
DIR. Thomas Thatcher Graves, who is liv-
ing at the other side of the continent,
quietly enough, in Providence. Distance
has been annihilated by crime. and Justice
does not take II into consideration.
The circumstances OF Mrs. Barnaby's
death are hushed. DR.. Graves is sent for
aud he sets out for Denver to be confronted
by the facts and by Mr.. Conrad.
DIR. Graves had been for years Mrs.
Barnaby's confidential adviser in the east.
He succeeded in alternating her physical
Affections and won her confidence. He
secured for her the services OF a legal
friend, Colonel Daniel r. Ballou, who
broke her husbands will and secured for
her a large fortune, and finally she gave
him a power of attorney to handle her
estate and made a will in which she left
him $4,000.
The v~oluminous evidence furnished by
the prosecution shows that Mrs. Barnaby
was a weak and somewhat infirm old lady,
incapable of dealing practically with large
interests, and that Upon the accession OF
the fortune DR.. Graves obtained a remark
able influence over her. This evidence es-
tablishes beyond all doubt a sufficient
motive for the crime. A multitude of sus-
picious circumstances in the after conduct
of DR.. Graves group themselves about this
motive and establish the plausibility of the
prosecutions theory. But the prosecution
utterly failed. with the aid of detectives,
reporters and the authorities, both in the
east and in the west, to trace the poison in
the bottle of whisky TO DIR. Graves.
1t is just here that the similarity of the
circumstances connected with the course
of the bottle are so singularly like those
invented by the imagination Of a literary
detective. Ordinarily in the affairs Of life
an effort to send a packet through the
mails does not suffer 50 many Interrupt
tions as did this. The bottle arrived in
Denver April 4, while Mrs. Barnaby and
another friend, Mrs. Worrell, were on a
visit to San Francisco. A notification OF
, 1892-01-30

after the bottle arrived from the east. 1t
brought clearly into view the fact that
young Worrell had destroyed the original
outer wrapping, which could never be
found, and that he showed something like
vacillatiou in leaving the bottle in the
buggy and waiting until the next day to
deliver IL.
But it utterly failed to show anything in
the antecedent character OF young Worrell
which would warrant the assumption that
he would leave "A deadly poison on the din.
ing room mAntel where 1t was accessible to
everybody in the house, including his own
mother; and IL similarly failed to overcome
in the minds of the jury the impression
made by the conduct and actions OF DIR.
Graves after the death Of Mrs. Bapnaby.
1t produced the testimony of veterinary
surgeons to show that arsenite Of potJs-
SUM was used in stables, and three wit
nesses declared that Daniel Smith drank of
the whisky when washing the buggy. But
these witnesses were shown to be liars and
their testimony was ruled out,
DIR. Graves was brought to Denver by "A
ruse. He was not informed Of the cause of
Mrs. Barnaby's death until he arrived
there, the family physician, from polite
motives, having certified that she died from
congestion of the lungs.
From the moment that DIR. Graves start
ed for Denver his actions and conduct were
confusing, and only tended to deepen the
suspicion against him. He at first denied
that he had sent the bottle, and afterward,
evidently in conformity with the theory OF
the defense, admitted that he had sent It,
but insisted that he had sent pure whisky
which had subsequently been poisoned.
He conducts himself to the eye like a
guilty man; is irr~esolute, appears to be over
whelmed by n confusing fear, makes sus-
picious exclamatious and is nervous, iras
chile and Tightly. But 1t is impossible
TO say that these same actions and condi-
tons would not nave been brought about
IN IN innocent man with no greater
strength Of character than DR.. Graves ex
hibits by the mere fear Of being unable to
prove his innocence.
After II long and vigorously conducted
trial, in which the ablest counsel were EN-
ployed on both sides, the jury, on Jan. .,
brought in a verdict of Murder in the
first degree"
The long struggle and suspense Of this
remarkable case ended in a pitiable scene.
Mrs. Graves, who had chung believingly
and hopefully to her husband all through,
broke down AS the verdict was read, and
with "A wild scream was conducted from
the courtroom to become AN incurable
maniac.
, 1892-01-30

Sustained interest" The element OF
mystery and the romantic use Of poison
make the case in its completed narrative
strangely like one of Wilkie Collins or
Gaboriau's tales OF crime.
To this must be added the interest of a
contest and struggle carried on by the state,
with all the appliances of detective skill
and legal acumen, against a suspected
agent, which struggle results in the weay-
ing Of II most remarkable net of circum-
stantial evidence-without a single positive
proof OF guilt.
The mere rehearsal OF the chief incidents
in his romance OF real life will show how
marvelously close 1t follows the method Of
the French imagination.
On the morning of April 10, 1891, Mrs.
Josephine A. Barnaby, a wealthy widow
of sixty, heard that a package had arrived
some time before in the mail for her, and
stopped in at the Office of the Schermerhorn-
WorreIl company with her friend. Mrs
Worrell, to get it. 1t proved to be "A bot
tie OF whisky carefully inclosed in n pro
tective case. 1t bore on n small, white
label these words, wishing you a happy
New Year, please accept this fine old whis-
ky from your friends in the woods.
Mrs Barnaby smiled as she read it, AS IL
she recognized the sender in the peculiar
ity Of the p~hraseology.
Inc bottle men 1ounu It's way Dy n curf
ously ~circuitous route to Mrs. Barnaby's
mantel, and nothing more occurred until
the evening OF April IS, when Mrs. Bar
naby and Mrs. Worrell, having been out
all day, returned home rather tired, and
Mrs. Barnaby feeling the need Of II stimu-
liant thought OF the fine old whisky" In
"A few minutes she had got the bottle and
glasses and the two women were drinking
the liquor. In FIVE minutes Mrs. Barnaby
began to suffer from its effects. A physi-
clan was called, and rs her symptoms in
creased the doctor saw that an acrid poison
WA at work. In spite Of all medical eff
forts Mrs. Barnaby grew worse, and on the
10th she died.
Even before she expired suspicion had
been aroused. Examination showed that
the whisky was saturated with arsenite
Of potassium, and Mrs. Barnaby had in her
last Ineligible moments coupled the name
OF DR.. Graves with the suspicious in her
W mind.

OVERLOOKED THE OPPORTUNITY.


There is already being manifested
among the Republican papers a DISPOSE
tion 20 lay upon the Democratic house o
representatives the blame for failure
should failure ensue, in Senator Carey'r
effort to pass a Cheyenne public building
bill through this session OF congress.
Should the bill go through We warrant
there will not be shown the same DISPOSE
ton TO give credit to the lower house OF
congress. 1t should not. however, b,
forgotten that in the riot of e~xtravagance
which characterized the Billion congress.
which was Republican in both branches,
no such bull for the benefit of Cbeyenn,
or any other own In Wyoming was got
through. This year tho shrewd Republi-
can senators from the western states ar,
trying to square themselves with then
constituencies, and public building bills
are being hurried through the senat,
committees, not because it ia believed
they will pass, but to have a convenient
excuse Tor their failure to furnish the
home market
The delirium of extravaganza which
will be known to history as the Billion
dollar congress-. should have furnished
smooth sailing for Senator Carey, for
few opportunities to lavish the public
money could have been overlooked. He
seems to have strangely neglected his
chance.

its arrival was sent by the local p~ostoflCe
to The chermeThoru Worrell comPnny'A
office, and the stenographer OF that estah-
lishment went to the office and got it and
it stood on n desk in Messrs. Schermerhorp
and Worrell's counting room until Aprn 10,
when Mrs. Barnaby, in company with
Mrs. worrell, visited the place. Then
young Mr.. Worrell, who was employed in
the Office, promised to bring the package
up to the house.
In the evening he put 1t la the box of his
buggy, together with some other goods for
the family, and drove home with 1t. The
maid who took the groceries out of the
buggy saw the packet and says she thought
Mr.. Worrell WAS going to bring it In. Mr..
worrell appears to have thought that she
took it in. At all events 1t went with the
buggy to the Empire stables, and Daniel
Smith, a stableman, saw the packet when
he was washing the buggy, took it out and
placed 1t on II shelf in the stable, returning
1t, he says, when be had washed the We
hicle.
It was not until the next day that Mr..
Worrell discovered the bottle, and when he
drove home at noon he took It with him,
went into the kitchen, pulled the wrapper
off and placed the bottle on the dining
room mantel. From that moment till the
evening Of the 18th its history is unac
counted for. 1t must be remembered hat
1t was not sealed. One OF the young men
in Worrell's Office had pulled the cork with
his teeth and the party had smelled of the
contents. The bottle Of whisky had there
fore been nine days in Denver before Mrs.
Barnaby sampled it.
An ably conducted defense awaited itself
of these facts to show not only the posi-
bility, but the probability that the con
tents OF the bottle had been tempered with
