DIR. GRAVES LAST APPEAL.
CASE GOES TO THE HIGH COURT OF
THE UNIVERSE.
Found Dead in His Cell at the County Jail,
Having Taken His Life to Escape Fur
Their rosscution-suicide Carefully
Planned and Perfectly Executed.

DENVER, Sept. g. The famous
murder case of DR.. Thatcher Graves,
formerly of Providence, R. l., is
settled. The doctor was found dead
in his cell in the county Jail this morn
ing, where he was waiting rehearing
on the charge of having poisoned Mrs.
Josephine Barnaby, wealthy woman
of Providence.
The poisoning is said to have been
done to cover up Graves alleged de-
falcations as manager of Mrs. Bar
naby's estate. In a satchel in the
doctors cell were found five letters, the
first one written August last, show
ing that suicide was contemplated
since then.
The following is the first letter
opened:
To the Coroner of Denver:
Dear Sir-Please do not hold an au.
topsy on my remains. Cause of death
may be rendered as follows: "Died
from persecution, worn out ex.
hausted. Yours Respectfully,
THATCHER GRAVES
The next letter was directed to Capt
Crew, the jailor of the county, and is
full of bitterness to the county attor-
ney, /. N. Stevens, who secured
Graves conviction on the first trial
and has been working hard to agair
| have the doctor convicted.
The other letters left here are fol
Mrs. DR.. Graves and the board of coun
ty commissioners.
Neither of these had been made
public. Mrs. Graves was informed o.
her husbands death shortly before
noon, and for time was almost crazeG
with grief. When she regained com
posure she went to the Jail, but the
body had been removed to the COR
oner's office.

AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION.
a Happy Reunion at a Golden Wedding
Celebration.


Celebration.
To the Statesman:
On Aug. 81, Capt. G.. w. Rose and
his wife, Mary Rose, celebrated the
5Oth anniversary of their wedding
day, or in other words, their golden
wedding. The ceremony of remar-
riage was performed by Rev. Milton
Caperton. 1t was quite impressive
and very appropriate. The reverend
gentleman took occasion to inform the
vast assenblage that the Bible plan
of marriage was much preferable to
the form that obtains at this day, in
asmuch as it was less expensive, and
1 think myself, and believe you will
all agree with me, that in times of
great financial depression like the
present the minister was about half
right.
G. w. Rose was born in Franklin
county, state of Tennessee, Oct, "a,
1923. His wife, Mary Perry Rose, was
born in the same county and state,
April %, 1924, emigrated to Texas Ia
the year 1866 or 1856 and settled on
Onion creek, eight miles south Of Aus
tin, in which community they still
reside, beloved md hOnored by all, as
evidenced by the vast concourse that
attended their golden wedding. Some
one has said that marriage is fail
ure, and perhaps many think 80. All
such should have seen this aged cou
pie staining shoulder to shoulder just
as they stood so years ago. Born
among the beautiful noun
tains of Tennessee they drank
together Of the Icy nectar
that gushes from the mountain side.
They played together on the banks of
the brooklets as they flowed en- to
their home in the classic Tennessee.
They went to the old church on the
hill together. They listened together
to sermons, prayers and hymns that
rose from the vo ces and the hearts OF
fathers and mothers of 50 years ago.
Fifty years ago they pledged them
selves to each other as husband and
wife and Thursdays doings show
how we'll they have kept that pledge.
1t brings out, too, the great fact that
marriage is not failure. 1t brings
out, too, the further great fact that
marriage is of Divine origin, or in the
language of the greatest of all poets,
"There is Divinity that shapes our
ends, rough hew them as we may"
After the ceremony all partook OF
the dinner that spread out in plente-
GUS quantity. Photos were taken of
Captain and Mrs. Rose, also the
captain was photographed sitting on
his horse with fiddle and bow.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, permit
me to say to the surviving members
of Hoods brigade: Old boys, 1t would
have done your hearts good to have
listened today to the sweet strains of
Geo. Roses violin rs you listened to
it &c years ago on the banks of the
Potomac, the North and South
Annas and elsewhere in the blessed
Old Dominion. ID. A. TODD.
