Murder, Avoids Arrest by Flight Dr.
Grarei Will Tell the Story.
YARD ON R. R. TRACK WEST OF DEPOT,
Denver, Jan. 4. Dr. Graves was
found guilty of stnrder in the first de
gree on Saturday. Since then he has
made a partial confession of his guilt,
implicating Colonel Ballon in the death
of Mrs. Barnaby, and the colonel ha3
fled. Before the verdict of the jury was
made known, the Providence lawyer
made his preparations to escape. He
left the court room at 5 o'clock, after
listening to the greater portion of Dis
trict Attorney Stevens' closing argument.
He went directly-to the VaHejo, the pri-
!te hotel where he was stopping, and
hurriedly packed his belongings. He
called Manager Evans of the hotel to his
?partaMati and told him he desired to
MWThe latter expressed his expressed
that the lawyer would leave so unex
pectedly wkes tBe fate of his
client ha4 not yet been determined
tjouonei kuou enjoined secrecy upon
him, tellmg him that his business en
gagements would not permit of his re
maining longer. He-left the hotel at
5:80, not stopping for supper. His wife
went with him. They lunched at an
obscure restaurant in this city and went
to the union depot. Colonel Ballon
bought tickets and took the 8:30 Rock
Island train for the east. He made ar
rangements to have the verdict tele
graphed to him on the train. One hour
after his secret departure the startling
verdict condemning Dr. Graves to death
was found. Before the lawyer's depart
ure he was accused of being an accom
plice of Dr. Graves. It is supposed that
this, coupled with a premonition of what
the verdict would be, frightened him.
On the way to jail after his fate had
been pronounced by the jury, Dr. Graves
made damaging statements about Col
onel Ballon.
"If Ballon had not come out here T
would never have been convicted,"' he
said. "I wanted to testify that I sent a
bottle of pure whisky to Mrs. Barnaby.
Ballon would not let me. He is &s
guilty as I am. I followed his in
structions and it is not right that he
should go 'free and I to the gallows."
Mrs. Orraves received many dispatches
of condolence, but none were from Col
onel Ballon. He has not been heard of
since his departure. It is believed that
he will arrive in Chicago Monday mom-
inir. unless he stops on liis way. It is
not known what the destination of his
ticket was,
Speaking of Colonel Ballous fliKht,
John Conrad, the prosecuting witness
for the state, said: 'Although Colonel
Ballou has tied, it is as easy to bring him
bade as it was tor mm to disappear trom
Denver. I will follow him to the utter
most parts of the world, "It is expected
that he will be indicted in the next lev
days.
Dr.. Graves 13 in the condemned cell of
the jail here and a death watch is placed
over him. Suicide is feared, as he fre
quently threatened to take his life. Ho
was a. pitiable object, seen sitting eu
dishabille on the side of his rude iron
cot. He had not even combed his hair.
"Oh, my God, this is terriblp," ho ex-
claimed to the United Press 'correspond
ent. "I am an innocent man."' Great
tears rolled down his checks. . Then ho
begged that his wife be not interviewed.
"Her troubles are already great enough,"
he said. There was a wild gleam in hirj
eye that suggested desperation. He re
fused to talk about Colonel Ballon at
all.
Mrs. Graves and his mother have not
seen the condemned man since he has
been locked up. The wife is heart
broken and spent the day in bed. Judge
Furman, one of the lawyers of the ac
cused, was the onlv visitor Dr. Graves
had. -
Dr. Graves does not feel hopeful of se
curing a new trial. The record of Judge
Rising stands before him constantly.
The man Avho sat on the bench and con
ducted his trial has never yet had a case
reversed in the supreme court, and ho ,
has exercised extreme caution in the
present case. Within five days Dr.
Graves must appear before the bar of
the district court and. be sentenced to
death, and he must suffer the extremo
penalty within thirty days unless grant
ed a supersedeas by the supreme court,
but it is not at all likely that that body
will reverse the decision. Judge Fur
man sa38 he will carry the case to the
supreme court.
Lawyer Daniel R. Ballou will be ar
retted on his arrival in Chicago, charged
THE DIFFICULTY 'WITH , CHILX.
A Balmmcedlst Believes It trill Be Settled
Amicably Mysterious Activity.
Washington, Jan. 4. Senor George
Asta Buruaga, the Chilean charge d
affaires in Washington during the ad
ministration of the late President Bal-
niaceda. was the only foreigner not
official position invited to the breakfast
Kiven by Secretary Blaine to the diplo
matic corps on New Year's day. He
met Mr. Montt, the Chilean minister, at
this gathering; the meeting between the
two was thoroughly cordial. Mr. Asta
Buruaga believes that the present con
troversy with Chile will reach an amica
ble settlement and, in an interview about
it, said: "Although Chilean by birth.
regard the United States as my second
home. A difficulty between the two
countries would, therefore, be to me
peculiarly painful. I am endeavoring to"
use an my mnuence 10 unngmis irouoie
to a peaceful conclusion, and one that
will be dignified to both nations. I have
made it a personal matter to direct all my-.
tuuvcitxiiiuii wuu iiiufctt in omciai posi
tion toward bringing about a mutual
goou understanding, i consider tnat a
war between the United States and
Chile would result terribly to the smaller
nation, and would certainly add nothing
to the glory of the larger. The specta
cle of sister republics at war would be
distressing to all who love free institu
tions, and I believe that such a war
would destroy the system of republics
which has been reared in South Amer
ica. Mr. Asta Buruaga speaks in the high
est terms of the new Chilean minister of
foreign affairs, who, he says, is a, man
of good judgment and, conservative
character. He looks forward to a
friendly settlement under the adminis
tration of the new minister.
with being co-conspirator in the death or
the late Mrs. Barnaby. Judge Rising and
District Attorney Stevens will visit the
jail and take a confession from Dr.Graves.
John H. Conrad said that Dr. Graves
will voluntarially tell the entire story of
his connection with the late Josephine
B. Barnaby. The mother and wife of
the convicted murderer are seriously ill
and grave doubts as to their recovery
are expressed.
Sly Identified.
St. Louis, Jan. 4. Adelbert D. Sly,
the alleged Glendale train robber, was
doubly identified as having connection
with the famous robbery. Salesman
Jacob Grandwhol. of a local furniture
house, on confronting the prisoner posi
tively declared that Sly was one of tho
men to whom he sold the furniture oi
tho Swan avenue house, wherein the de
tectives found the clues. A half horn:
later Sly met Adams Expre.ss Messenger
Mnlrennan, who was in" charge of the
express car robbed "Nov. 30. Messenger
Mulrennah stated that Sly was one of
the two men who had taken the leading
part ip the robbery, that he had done
the threatening and had placed a pistol
at Mulrennan's head and taken his watch
from him. The engineer and fireman
of ;he train which was robbed immedi
ately picked Sly out of a crowd of five
men as the man who was on the tender
of the engine the night of the robbery.

Fatal Railway Wreck.
London, Jan. 4. The steamer Nord-
land, of the Red Star line, which left
Antwerp for New York yesterday, col
lided with the ship Childwell, which was
arriving from Chile, loaded with salt
petre. The collision took place off the
Belgian coast. The Childwell was
crushed by the collision, and sank soon
after. The Nordland was also badly
damaged, but managed to run into
Flushing with eix feet of water in her
hold.
Later information is to the effect that
fifteen of the crew of the Childwell were
drowned in the collision with the Nord
land. The. survivors, who were rescued
by the British steamer Ipswich, of the
Great Eastern line, claim that theNord
land, after crushing the bark, made no
effort to help the crew, but hurried away
from the spot, as if afraid of sinking,
leaving the crew of the wrecked vessel
to save themselves as best they could.
Several went down with the bark, and
others clung to the wreckage, some of
the latter dropping into the sea through
weakness before assistance arrived.
When the Ipswich came up there was
but one mast remaining for the sur
vivors to cling to.and this would not have
held them long. A rigid investigation
will be held as to the responsibility for
tho wreck and the reported inhumanity
of the Nordland.

the Appotatmeat or Herbert Bismarck.
Berlin, Jan. 2. Prince Bismarck's
New Year's day indicates that hk hoW
is as strong upon the German people aa
ever. He has been overwhelmed aliday
with letters, telegrams and flowers. Tha
kaiser did not send any of them. The
report that steps have recently bet n tak
en by the kaiser to sound Prince Bis
marck as to the condition on whick"he
would go back to public affairs is regard
ed as confirmed in the highest quarters
by the statement that Nov, 23 laeta ae
bleman high in position at court called
upon Prince Bismarck and asked him or
what conditions he would cossent to re
turn to power. The Chancellor replied:
"I will never again accept the titles
and functions that nave beentakem frost
me. I will, however, consent to give
the emperor my services as private chan
cellor." In further conversation h& added be
especially desired two thigns: "Firsts the
withdrawal of Capriv as chancellor, aaal
secondly, the appointment of my son as
minister of foreign affairs."
A rumor is current that it is possible
means of reconciliation will be arrived
at by the giving of an embassy to Coast
Herbert Bismarck, as in this case the ex
chancellor will be satisfied.

The Nebraska Governorship aa Viewed by
the Supreme Court.
Washington, Jan. 2. The decision of
the supreme court of the United States
is that James E. Boyd is no alien, was
not an alien at the time of his election,
and was duly qualified and elected gov
ernor of Nebraska in 1890.
The decision has not yet been handed
down, but the result of the court's con
ferences has leaked out.
The case of Boyd against Thayer pre
sented several unargued points. The,
first was whether the final construction,
of a contrast was not simply a ratifica
tion ot a contract existing, ana whether
as such in its effect it was not retro
active; it so, whether naturalization
was not a contract with the prospective
citizen.
The second was whether the Nebraska
enablimr act. neculiar in its verbiage.
and unusually liberal in its terms, did
not carry into the citizenship of the
Uniteu states all persons then citizens
of the territory.
The court oy n vote of six to three de
cides affirmatively on both points, two
.Republicans ana one uemocrate dissent,
but Chief Justice Fuller will hand down
the decision probably on Monday. ;

Sutherland !
Sutherland is located near the
center of a beautiful level section,
of land on the Union Pacific Rail
way about eighteen miles west of
North Platte. Good bridges snan
the North and South Platte rivers
at this point, making a large sec
tion of fine agricultural countrv
tributary to it. It must necessarily
become a good town and keep pace
with the improving country which
it will supply. It affords a good
opportunity for the location of a
hotel, grain buying, lumber and
coal yard, merchandise, livery stable
blacksmith shop or other businese
that will be patronized bv n f Tirffrtr
agricultural community, and it is
always the case that those who
come first and establish a business
acquaintance reap the greatest ben
