with tho aid of a handbag. she talked IN
cessantly, inveighing against Mrs. Wor
rell so bitterly that Mrs. Larramore de
cIded not TO take any risk of mourning heI
similar displcasure by any association.
The offer was declined and the next
thing Mrs. Larramore heard was that Mrs.
| Barnaby was dead. At the time of the
Graves trial Mrs. Larramoro was out of
the city. and as a few knew about the
visit of Mrs. Barnaby she was not called
by the defense. Her testimony concern
ing tho time of Mrs. Barnaby's arrival in
! Denver would have been an important
link in a chain which the attorneys were
trying to make complete.
But the Graves trial is a matter of past
history. Many of the figures in it have
| passed away. Coroner ChivIngton, who
looked upon the dead body of the man
charged with the dreadful crime of murder,
is dead. and so is Captain Crews, the jailer,
who did many kindly act for the cele-
brated prisoner in his charge.
On the streets of Denver n fine looking
| black-eyed young woman may often be
seen passing along with rapid steps. Sal
lie Hanley spoke on the witness stand for
DIR. Graves and was made the subject of
much comment. She is tho we'll dressed
person whose black eyes and alert express
sion attract notice. She is DIR. Hanley
now and is making success of the prac-
tice of dentistry.
And what has become of Mrs. Graves,
the wife of the doctor? Why, she is work.
ing among the poor and suffering in the
slums of Boston. In tho black robes of
her tragic widowhood. she passes from
house TO house and is the good angel in
many humble home. She is a sad, heart
broken woman, who is making noble the
years that must remain to her. Soon after
her husbands death she closed the eyes of
his aged mother, iwho had chung to her
after loving tho son upon whom pride and
love conferred.
Mrs. Graves is alone now, except for the
many friends raised up by her long suffer-
ing and the many lowly ones who call her
blessed.
Her character was always one of ex-
IRENE gentleness and delicacy. Until tho
dreadful accusation that was made
against the husband upon whom she con-
contracted all the devotion of her life, she
was singularly protected from tho I'M
pleasant experiences of the world. She
was favorite with all who know her. and
was much beloved by a large circle of
friends that embraced the prominent ciui-
zcns of several cities. During tho trial
and subsequent Imprisonment of DR..
Graves, she was brave and courageous in
tho presence of the loved one whose life
hung IN the balance. All the heartrend-
ing scenes of the great trial, and all the
terrible sorrows attending it., she bore
with fortitude.
Twice she broke down. When she
heard that the death sentence had been
pronounced upon her husband, something
snapped in her brain, but she was for a
time in state of merciful unconscious
ness. Again, on the day that DR.. Graves
died, her burden of suffering became al
most too heavy for the frail person upon
whom it rested. But all her sorrows are
I'm the past.
In thought she lives over and over the
happy years and by patient work in the
alleys and streets of the great New Eng
land city seeks to keep in the background
the memoTy of her long suffering and final
bereavement.
She treasures no resentment against
tho world which has been SO unkind to
her. She has great faith in the day
that is to come when DR.. Graves shall be
fully vindicated and her faith in b i'm COM
pletely justified. When the information
of the infirmity that afil cts Mark Day
was brought to her, she was expected
TO express some satisfaction at the fate Of
the man who has testified against her hus-
band, but she only shook her head and
sadly said:
81 am SO sorry. Nv heart aches for him
and for his family. 1t always hurts me to
hear of an extra sorrow being added to the
world, which is so full now"
