with personal friends upon tho published an-
nouncement made by District Attorney Steele
and the Board Of County Commissioners that
tho second trial will DO pressed and that
| stronger evidence would be presented
| than at tho first trial He was evidently
| disconnected at this. though the dates
| OF the letters given above indicate that he had
| long been prepared for It His wife also called
| upon him. He was worrying because the OK.
| pense OF his defence would absorb what funds
| he had remaining. but his wife tried to cheer
him up.
All want is you Tom" she said.
To this he only answered: Good night
Kittie. Be brave"

1t is believed that DR.. Graves took morphine.
and that he procured 1t while out upon bail and
secreted It SO carefully that he eluded the
customary search when he was surrendered
by his bondsmen. There was not q scrap OF
paper or anything else found in his cell this
morning to indicate what drug had been taken.
1t was difficult task that was delegated to
Mrs Macon. wife Of DR.. Graves's attorney. to
break the news to Mrs. Graves The shock
was too much and her mind now .wanders. She
thinks she Is at the jail She keeps saying.
