William Crosby. the colored boy who
is charged with burglarizing Chas John
sons house. had his preliminary hearing
before Justice Gibb this morning. At
torney Myers appeared for the prisoner.
and argued that while there had been a
burglary committed. there was no evi-
ience to show that the defendant was
the perpetrator of the crime. and that in
the absence of such evidence it would
be an unnecessary expense to the tax
payers to have the case proceed under
the action named. and SO requested the
judge to try him for pett. larceny, which
crime would come within the iurisdic-
ton of his court. and would be settled
with the least possible expense to the
county.
The Judge took the matter under adj
visement until o'clock.
At the appointed hour the court de-
cldei to hold the prisoner to await the
action of the district upon a charge of
burglary. with the usual 81 600 bail. and
as Crosby was unable to give it he was
committed

Jail about nine o'clock this morning,
where he was awaiting a rehearing on
the charge OF having poisoned Mrs. Bar
naby. wealthy widow. also OF Provi

been done to cover up Dr. Graves al
legged defalcations as manager Of Mrs.
Barnaby's estate. The doctor took his
own life. using morphine. In "a satchel
IN the doctors cell were found five let
ters the first one having been written

had been contemplated since then. The
following is the first letter opened: TO

! Sir: Please do not hold an autopsy ON
my remains. The cause Of death may

respectfully. L. Thatcher Graves. NJ. D.
The last letter is directed to Cant,
Crews. iailer of the county Jail. and is
full of bitterness to County Attorney j.
\. Stevens. who secured Dr. Graves
conviction in the first trial and has been
working hard to again have the doctor
convicted. In the second letter. which
is dated August y. Graves denounces
Stevens as d liar. and adds:

F., time was almost crazed with grief
notwithstanding DIR. Graves request
that no autopsy be held upon his body

his death will take place.

was penniless and thought it no more
than right that if the county paid the
cost OF his prosecution. it should also be
willing to appropriate enough to enable
him to defend himself. The decision Of
the county to try him again undoubtedly
prompted Graves to put into effect his
idea of suicide, which it is plain he had
been contemplating for some time.
DIR. Graves letter to the public is a
long document. in which he reviews his
story OF his remarkable case. He denied
that he ever committed the crime with
which he is charged and declared that
his prosecution was accomplished with
money and political influence
