DR.. GRAVES MAYG0 FREE
The Colorado Supreme Court Grants
Him a New Trial.
HE WILL BE RELEASED ON BAIL.
The states Attorney Says the Csan Never
VIII BE Tried-Mr. Conrad Declares
That He VIII Not Undergo the Ex-
pense of a New Trial.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 1S.-The Supreme
Court has granted DIR. Thatcher Graves,
the convicted murderer OF Mrs. Josephine
Barnaby of Providence, r. l., a new trial.
The opinion was the unanimous decision
OF the court and was granted upon the or
ders and ruling OF the lower court where
Graves was tried.
Hon. j. n. Stevens, the states attorney,
who secured the conviction, says the case
will never be tried again, and that Graves
will go free man.
Mr.. Conrad, the chief prosecuting wit
ness, has emphatically declared that, in he
event OF new trial being ordered, he will
not undergo the heavy expense which the
trial OF the case involved, amounting, ii is
estimated, to 80, 900 to $4,000.
In that event the
Ultimate Discharge OF DIR. Graves
would be natural sequence, as the state
would not incur the outlay which the
summons OF witnesses from all parts of
the country would necessitate, and the
small sum allotted to mileage one way
would not induce them, most of whom are
In comparatively moderate circumstances
to make the journey to and from Denver,
and meet the expenses OF stay OF a month
or six weeks.
The court in its opinion says that with
out doubt certain well established rules
OF the law of evidence were neglected in
the trial in the lower court. The evidence
Of guilt was entirely circumstantial.
Under the rulings of the Criminal
Court suspicion voiced by the deceased
were admitted in evidence whether the
same originated with Mrs: Barnaby or
emaneted fro2 some of the numerous
persons admitted to the sick chamber.
In this indirect way the statement was
permitted to go to the Jury that in the
opinions OF Mrs. Barnaby the Bennetts did
not send the contents OF the bottle which
caused her death.
The opinion holds also that the instruc-
tions TO
The Jury Were Erroneous
and quotes precedents in which decisions
have been revised solely upon errors in the
charge.
Upon principle the court Is OF the
opinion that the metaphor used in the
instructions to the jury is inaccurate and
misleading. The court says that evidence
OF statements by Mrs. Barnaby showing
loss OF confidence in Graves was incompe-
tent to show motive unless such state
ments were brought to knowledge prior
TO the time at which 1t is claimed the
bottle was sent.
II was also an error not to accord the
accused the right TO meet all witnesses
face to face.
The telegram from DIR. Graves attorney
announcing a new trial, was delivered ut
the penitentiary at 1890 in the morning.
The doctor was visibiy affected "a the
message was handed TO him. He tore IL
open with nervous fingers,

WaslGreatly Handicapped I'm the Perform
ance of His Duties.
BosToN Jan. 18.-Hon. Henry B. Lover
ing, warden Of the state prison, has re-
signed.
He steps out of this position because he
wishes Ito use his words) "to be relieved
from the weary burden of incongruous
conditions which attach to the position
of warden and handicap him in the per-
formance OF his duties"
The resignation was handed to the gov
ernor on Jan. 8, but was not made public
until last evening. Governor Russell has
announced that the resignation has been
accepted, and win take effect as soon as
his successor is appointed.
The governor has directed letter to
the prison commissioners asking them 10
recommend a suitable person or persons
to fill the position.
That Warden Lowering resigned on his
own accord is a fact without doubt. To
close intimate friends he has said repeat
edly that as matters stood at the prison ii
was impossible for him to continue TO
serve as warden. One to whom Mr.. Low
ering has spoken to about the matter said
last night that for more than three
months his resignation had been written
and was ready to be sent to the governor.
Mrs. Lowering, it is said, Is troubled with
nervous trouble and dislikes staying at
the prison.

VALUABLE PAINTINGS BURNED.
The Calumet Club House in Chicago De-
stroyed.


CHICAGO, H., Jan. 1s.-The beautiful
club house here of the Calumet Club was
burned last night. The flames spread so
rapidly that scarcely any OF the effects OF
the club were saved. Not one of the many
beautiful paintings which adorned the
walls was taken out.
The twenty odd members OF the club
who resided in the house lost all their
personal property and some OF them were
forced to leave the building very hurried
ly. The fire originated in an empty room
in which some carpenters had been at
work. 1t is supposed the shavings they
left became ignited in some way.
The greatest excitement was occasioned
among he servants, 10 of whom roomed
upon the fifth floor. Two girls, kittie
McCabe and Maggie Dewitt, were i'll in
bed in the roo " across the hallway from
that in which the flames broke out. The
flames drove them out and in the dense
smoke they tried TO grope their way down
stairs.
Miss Dewitt, clad only in her night
dress, reached the ground floor, but was
painfully burned about the hands and
face. Miss McCabe is missing, and it il
feared she perished. The other servants
got out safely. None of the servants saved
thing. 1t is estimated that the loss, in
cluding that OF many valuable picture
and furniture will reach 100000. The en-
tire insurance is placed at sl05,0o0.
Among the paintings destroyed was th3
noted painting entitled "Peace Makers
by G.. y. R.-Healcy. One canvas repre-
senting conference between Lincoln
Grant, Sherman and Admiral Porter was
valued at $4,000.
II. II. Redfeld, clerk OF the club, died
from over-excitement brought on by the
ire.

woburn Residence Burned.

WoBURN, Mass, Jan. ls.-The residence
OF Richard Morris, on Plimpton street,
caught fire about o'clock last evening.
The house was completely gutted and the
loss on the house and furniture will reach
from q, 500 to 5000, on which there is a
good insurance. The fire caught in the
kitchen. IL is thought that some clothing
on a clothes horse became ignited from
the kitchen range. Mr.. Morris came up
from the cellar and found the kitchen
ablaze. He endeavored 20 extinguish the
flames and was considerably burned about
the face and hands.

A PLEA FOR RELEASE

BosToN, Jan. 1s.-There was quite an
exciting time in the Superior Criminal

Judge Sherman to receive sentence on the
charge of breaking into the apothecary
store of Theodore Metcalf on fremont
street and larceny therefrom. Both plead
ed hard and told q sorrowful tale of the
worlds cruelty.
As soon as Jansen had made his plea,
Lowery submitted that he would like
to make few remarks before sentence.
His address was truly logical and highly
tragic. 81 am about to speak, your hon

ted those robberies.' / object, your honor,

word more. Were / never to leave this

cent man. Sentence me. Give me your

Judge Sherman addressed the young
men in very kind strain, spoke OF his
reluctance to sentence, yet his duty to do
so. He then sentenced James Lowery to
eight years in state prison, one day OF
which is solitary confinement, and jan
sen to seven years.

Thought to Have Been Incendiary.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 1s.-Henry J. Ide, a
special agent OF the Mercantile Fire and
Marine Insurance Company of Boston, in
which the Old Colony Distillery Company
was insured for small amount, is in this
city looking up the matter OF the loss of
the building by fire a few days ago. He
Is of the opinion that the fire was incen-

such suspicious circumstances that he will
recommend that his company withhold

is undecided. He will probably remain
