BODIES IN THE BARN.
The Mysterious Murder of Two Unknown
 Women.


 MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Sept 5.-A discov- cry of what has all the appearances of a double murder and may prove to be 8 triple assassination has just been made at Birmingham, at the foot of the Shawan- gunk mountains.
 The events leading up to the supposed murders date some time back. Paul Holli- day, a widower, who resided near Burling- ham, recently married young woman who had been working for him. Soon after the marriage Holidays house and barn were burned, and his crippled son was burned to death in the house. Mrs. Holli- day was arrested for arson and held in the Orange county jail, where she showed evil dence of insanity. She was sent to the State hospital, and subsequently, being re- leased she returned home.
 The latter part of last week Holiday was missed. He had not been seea by his neighbors since last Thursday A watch was set on Holidays premises and Mrs. Holiday questioned as to her husbands whereabouts.
 She said he had gone to Bloomingburg to work as & mason, but an investigation proved her statements false. Mrs. Holli. day made some inquiries as to what would remove blood stains, and her actions be coming mysterious she was arrested. A searching party was made up to look for Holiday. In the barn at Holidays place they found under lot of hay the bodies of two women. One was that of fieshy woman about 45 years of age and the other that of 8 young girl aged about 10 years.
 In the body of the elder woman there were eight bullet wounds. Death had evil dently taken place in both cases about four days ago.
 While the names of the dead women are unknown, it is thought that they were summer boarders from New York city. Coroner Roesch of Westboro has sum- moned a jury, and local physicians are mak- ing post mortem examination. The in- quest will be held this afternoon. The search for Holiday continues.

DIR. GRAVES AND MRS. BARNABY.

On April 9 she drank from a bottle of
 whisky that had come by rail from Boston
 and that was labeled ''Wish you happy
 new year. Please accept this fine old whis-
 ky from your friends in the woods"
 The whisky contained solution of ar
 senic. Dr. Graves was accused of sending
 the bottle. After one of the most famous
 trials in the criminal annals of this county
 Dr. Graves was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to be hanged.
 The supreme court granted him new trial, which was to have begun the latter
 part of this month. ..s 9. The doctor left everything in order be-
 fore he died. When he was found, he was clad in his trousers and dress shirt. He
 lay on his right side in 8 posture he usual ly assumed after retiring. There was a slight froth on his lips, which might just as easily come from natural causes as from
 poison. There were paper sacks of fresh peaches and pears on his table, the gift of
 his wife on her late visit Saturday.
 In his letter to the public MT. Graves de votes his attention to denouncing ex-Dis- trict Attorney Stevens, who secured his conviction. He closes with these state ments:
 1 have freely expended fortune in fighting them, but the courts will compel me to expend
 more. What I have left will go to my noble little wife and my poor, suffering mother. There is one way that can stop the expendi-
 ture. Allow me to repeat that which have al- ways said publicly and privately: Upon my solemn Masonic oath 1, T. Thacher Graves. did not have anything to do in any way, shape, manner or deed with the death of Mrs.
 Barnaby. write this, knowing what the fu- ture will soon have in store for me.
 Attorney Stevens has also given out his statement in which he defends his course
 in prosecuting Dr. Graves.
 DENVER, Sept. 5.-The attorneys and per sonal friends of Dr. T. Thacher Graves, | the famous poisoner, who killed himself in his cell in the county jail by taking some | subtle unknown poison, are opposing the | effort to hold an autopsy and inquest. It | Is hinted that Dr. Graves ended his own | life with some mysterious drug or com | bination of drugs which could only have been prepared by an expert chemist, and | those who believe him guilty of the mur- | der of Mrs. Barnaby are said to be contem- | plating connecting the poison by which the | doctor ended his own troubles with that | contained in the mysterious bottle of whisky sent to Mrs. Barnaby from "her | friends in the woods" It is hinted that | the strange poison was very likely the
 same in both cases. | Mr Graves left letter for the board of
 county commissioners, asking the county | of Arapahoe to defray his burial expenses | to Thomson Conn; also the expenses of | his wife and mother and a female escort | He said he would not ask 1t, but all of his | funds were exhausted. The commissioners
 discussed the request briefly, but arrived | at no conclusion.
