that no autopsy be held upon his body. a
rigid examination into the cause Of his
death will take place tonight.
The Alleged Murder.
AS is we'll known Dr. Graves was In
prison awaiting his second trial for the
alleged murder of Mrs. Josephine Barn
ably Of Providence. who, at the time of
her death, was visiting friends in Denver.
She died April 10. 1891 On April 9. she
drank from a bottle of whisky that had
come by mail from Boston and that was
labeled Wish you a happy New Year.
Please accept this fine old whisky from
your friends in the woods
The whisky contained solution of
arsenic. DIR. Graves was accused Of
sending the bottle. After one of the
most famous trials in the criminal annals
Of this country, DR.. Graves was con-
victed OF murder in the first degree and
was sentenced to be hanged. The SUI
preme court granted him a new trial,
which was to have begun the latter part
of this month.
On Aug. OF this year Commissioner
Twombley and County Attorney Stevens
visited Rhode Island and other places in
search of new evidence, the county of
Arapahoe having objected to paying the
expenses of new trial in the doctors
case unless stronger and more direct
testimony could be produced to show
that DR.. Graves was guilty. Messrs.
Twombley and Stevens returned a short
time ago, and although 1t is not known
what they discovered on their eastern
trip, 1t is a significant fact that at a
meeting OF the county board yesterday
$4,000 was appropriated to prosecute the
doctor again on the charge Of murder.
What Prompted the Suicide.
DR.. Graves before his death said that
he was penniless and thought it no more
than right that if the county paid the
costs of his prosecution it should also
be willing to appropriate enough TO
enable him to defend himself. He had
not, however, made any such request
and Of course it cannot now be said how
it would have been answered by the COM
missioners. Yesterdays decision of the
county board to prosecute him I'M
doubtedly prompted the dead man to
put into effect his idea of suicide. which
it is plain he had been contemplating
for some time.
The Hon. Thomas NJ. Macon, the at
torney who defended DR.. Graves during
his trial and has stood by him since, is
out of the city and no interview can be
had with him tonight.
The States Case.
I. N. Stevens. county attorney, who
was district attorney at the time DR..
Graves was tried and convicted, was
seen tonight and made a statement in
which he said that the state was pre-
pared to show mora fully than at the
former trial, the transfer of 900 from
Mrs. Barnaby's account to the doctors
own bank and to his credit at about
the same time the bottle Of poison ar
rived in Denver. The state was also
prepared to show by checks and other
papers the full financial transactions
between the doctor and Mrs Barnaby,
as well as other evidence of a very
damaging character.

CINCINNATI. Sept. S.-Tonight at s
o'clock on the electric railway from
Avondale to Cincinnati, all the brakes
of an incoming train of two cars gave
way simultaneously. The motorman.
when the brakes failed, tried to reverse
the wheels, but the wires of the con-
troller burnt off, and the conductor,
motorman and forty-fve passengers
Faster and faster it sped. A chorus of
shrieks made the air dismal. Now and
then a passenger dropped out on the
stony street At the half mile from
miles an hour. Swifter and swifter
sped the fated cars. Louder and more
despairing grew the screams. Around
the great bend the train sped at fifty
every second. Into Broadway it dashed
at seventy mile an hour. Tearing across
the street it struck a big cedar tele-
crap pole, out Of the lower part of
which it cut log where the platform
and the top of the car struck the pole.
After cutting through the pole the
great iron frame of the car went away
and struck a big door post in the build
ing at the corner. split upon it and
thust half the length of the car into the
building. One is already known to be
dead. Eighteen are in the hospital and
searchers are out along that mile and
a quarter trying to learn the fate of
those strewn along the road.

Simple Treatment for Headache.

Percussion Of the Uranium, Just as is
done for the chest to ascertain whether
there Is any apparent material lesion,
is recommended by NJ. Doutdouki of
Moscow for headache. The percussion
must be made lightly, says the Euro
pean edition Of the New York Herald
and without producing any disagreeable
sensation, but increasing gradually the
intensity of the taps In this way a
sort of Migratory massage is admins
trated which removes the distressing
symptom. 1t is evident that this relief
can only be momentary and that the
cause must be discovered in order to be
sure to cure the headache. The same
means is efficacious in muscular pain in
nervous, impressionable people. 1t is
at any rate easy to try. and, according
to the old saying, can't do any harm,
even If 1t don't cure. This method of
treatment has succeeded in DIR. Dout-
dould's hands whenever there was no
material cause for headache.

DOUBTLESS A MURDER.
Young American Killed Abroad for
$4,000 Life Insurance.

GLASGOW, Aug. 30.-The body Of a
young man named Marlborough was
found on the Ardlamont estate. near
Lochein, in the county of Argyll, on the
10th inst. Marlborough was an Ameri-
can and was the son, it is reported, Of
a very rich resident of the United
States. He had been rabbit shooting on
the Ardlamont estate and his body
was found lying near a ditch on the
property. He had been shot in the
head, and his gun, which had been dis
charged, was on the ground beside him.
1t was supposed that the wound in his
head had either been self-inf1icted or
that it was the result of accident. it
being thought likely that while he was
carrying his gun at full cock, he STUN
bled and the piece was discharged. But
these theories did not satisfy the young
mans friends and detectives were put
on the case. After nearly three weeks
of diligent work, these men have Sc
cured enough evidence to warrant them
in declaring that a murder had been
committed. Not only that, but they
feel confident that they know the per-
sons who were concerned in the crime.
They were two in number, they say,
and one of them was placed in custody
today. His name is MonSon and he is
a tenant on the Ardlamont estate, where
Marlborough made his acquaintance.
The other suspected man is Edward
Scott, a sailor, who was employed on
Hamborough's yacht He has disap-
peared. The detectives claim that the
motive for the murder was a desire for
gain. They say they have discovered
that Marlborough had insured his
life for $4,000 in an American
company and had assigned the policy
TO Monson. 1t was with the hope Of
obtaining the insurance money, they al
lege, that the murder was committed by
A1onson with the aid of the sailor,
Scott The body OF Marlborough, which
was taken to the Isle of Wight, where
his parents were staying, will be eX-
humed. The arrest of Monson and the
statement made by the detectives have
caused considerable excitement.

Lip Soreness. From thread Biting

Ladies who do a great deal Of sewing
frequently suffer a great deal from sore
ness of the mouth and lips and are often
at a loss to ascertain the cause Of the
trouble. Half the time it is simply the
result of biting off thread instead Of
using a pair of shears for cutting. In
the case Of silk thread the danger is
quite marked. because it is usual to
soak the thread in acetate of lead,
partly to harden it and give it a good
surface and also perhaps to increase its
weight somewhat. If this practice is
followed regularly and very much silk
thread is used, the results may be quite
serious and even lead to blood poisoning.

DENVER, Sept 3-The famous muir
der case of DR.. T. Thatcher Graves,
formerly Of Providence, r. l., has at
last been settled. The doctor was found
dead in his cell at the county Jail about
9 o'clock this morning. where he was
awaiting a rehearing on the charge of
having poisoned Mrs. Josephine Barn
aby a wealthy widow, also of Provi-
dence. The poisoning is said to have
been done to cover up DR.. Graves's al
legged defalcation as manager Of Mrs.
Barnaby's estate. Although no autopsy
has yet been held on his body, it is
known that the doctor took his own life.
using morphine to effect his end.
In a satchel in the doctors cell were
found five letters, the first one having
been written on Aug. 9, last. showing
that his suicide had been contemplated
since then. The following is the first
letter opened:
DENVER, COL. Aug. 3. 1898.
ITO the Coroner of Denver, Col:
Dear Sir-Please do not hold an
autopsy on my remains. The cause of
my death may be rendered as follows:
Died from persecution. Worn out. Ex-
hausted. Yours respectfully.
'T. THATCHER GRAVES, M. D."
The last letter is directed to Capt.
Crews. the jailer of the county Jail, and
is full Of bitterness to County Attorney
I. n. Stevens, who secured DR.. Graves's
conviction in the first trial and has
been working hard to again have him
convicted. 1t is as follows:
Aug. 25, 1893.
'It would keep a man busy to follow
Stevens and stop the lies which he I'M
blushingly peddles out to the papers.
One or two, however, need attention
and are easily proven to be lies. 1 was
a member of the Massachusetts state
medical society, also the Connecticut
state medical society. never made APP
plication to the Rhode Island state med
zeal society for admission.
MY lawyers have the full receipts
showing that I never wronged the es-
tate of Mrs. Barnaby, and that the
estate now owes me, outside of the
legacy by will. The public see what I
have to expect from the villainous,
cowardly falsehoods OF Stevens. can
not expend more money fighting him.
I must take the only means to prove
it for my wife and dear honored, aged
mother.

A Denial of Suicide.

Notwithstanding the above letter, Capt.
Crews in an interview Indignantly de-
MES that DR.. Grave committed suicide
He says that the doctor died of a broken
heart and to use the captains words,
was murdered by the attorneys for the
state, who have harassed the old man
to DEATH
The three other letters were to Mrs.
Graves. the county commissioners and a
lengthy one addressed to the public. The
ones addressed to Mrs. Graves and the
commissioners have not yet been given
out. The one to the public is quite
lengthy and is a review of his case, in
which he censures the court, the jury
and the prosecuting attorney. The clos
ing words are:
ALLOW me to repeat that which 1
have always said publicly and pri-
vately:
Upon my solemn masonic oath. I,
7. Thatcher Graves. did not have any
thing to do in any way, shape, manner,
nor deed with the death of Mrs. Barn
ably. 1 write this knowing what the
future viii soon have in store for me.
The people will believe, pity and sympa-
thize with me. They will know that
even the strongest man can be beaten
down by a cyclone of filth, mud and
persecution"
Mrs. DR.. Graves was informed of her
husbands death shortly before noon and
for a time was almost crazed with grief.
When she regained her composure she
went to the county Jail, but the dead
body had been removed to the coroner's
office The sight of the cell so agitated
her that the friends of Mrs. Graves de-
cided it would not be best for her to
view the doctors remains at present.
She then returned to her home and is
now being cared for by sympathizing
friends.
Notwithstanding DR.. Graves's request
