Denver, Dec. 29. In the Barr.aby
tdaJ Dr. Graves was recalled to the
stand and his cross-examination was re
sumed by Stevens. The doctor thought
be was in Denver after his brother's
dftath fur two or three days He did not
meet Julias Fnrmnn while there. Mis.
Iiamaby was a kind woman, bnt slit
was not easily influenced. Dr. Grave
denied having told Mrs. Ilickcy that ii
Mrs. Barnaby totik licr money ont cl
his hnnd.i he would have her tent to an
Bi-ylnm.
The letter which the doctor had sen!
Mr Barnaby at San Francisco, bn!
which was retnnied to hira tlirongh the
dead hitter offic e, was ngnin the subject
of inquiry by the proMecuting attorney.
The envelope of this letter was stamped
with 3 cents. The contents, as exhibited
in court, did not wcih enmiKh to re
uniro more tlmn the onlinnry 2-cent
Htninp. Tho proHccntinn insinuated that
Dr, Graves had replaced the original
matter contained in the envelope with s
letter which wonld aid him in his de
fense. The doctor, however, gave his
word of honor tlint such was not the
cane. When asked whether on bis re
turn to Providence from Denver with
Mrs. Burnahy's remains he hml drawn a
check on her funds for ft, 000, the dcietor
could not remember. Several other
things Dr. Graves could not recall, or
did not know anything about, although
they concerned his dcalingx in the mat
ter as aeut for Mrs. Uarnaby. Tho

Mrs. Barnaby. Smith has previously
apj eared as a wit new for the prosecu
tion, and then swore that he had not
tampered with the package containing
the liottle while it was in the livery
stable. He was put nixm the stand, and,
contrary to the expectations of the de
fense, iviterated his former statement
that he had not opened the package.
The. defense then introduced three
witnoMes to impeach Smith's testmony.
E. R. Bertram was t he first of these wit
nesses, 1 In swore that Smith had told
him that he had taken ti drink from ths
bottle of whisky while it was in tho sta
ble, and that it whs pod whisky. Bert
ram, on crofw-exniniiwtion, then admit
ted ho had been under urrcst three
times on different charges.
The other two witnesses testified that
Smith had told them that the botttle
could have easily been tampered with
while in the stable.
Mrs. John Conrad was called In re
buttal, and swore that Dr. Graven hud
told her that he thought Edward Ben
nett, the guide, had sunt the bottle of
whiskv.

New York, Dec. 29. The New York,
Ontario and Western railroad formally
withdrew from the boycott of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad, The with
drawal at this time was somewhat of a
surprise, as it was understood that the
boycott would be raised by both asso
ciations in a short time, in accordance
with the recommendations of their sub
committees, which met a few davs ago
and concluded unanimously that the
bovcott was a failure. The Alton
officials in tins city received the follow

' A Strident Voios From Kentucky.
Avenstoke, Ky.. Dec. 14 1891
Henry U. Pickens, McCook Neb.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 8thinst.
to hand, and to say that I was pleased
but illy expresses my feelings.
We, of Kentucky, who voted the Peo
ple's Party ticket last year are as de
termined in our opposition to the old
parties as you can be in the west. In
fact, we hare no choice but to go on,
for when we started for the promised
land, we burned all brulgos behind us,
and I assure you we have no desire to
wade the Red Sea of humiliation in or
der to feast from the flesh pots of Egypt
in the camp of Democracy.
We have fought our first battle here,
and I may be pardoned perhaps for
saying that I think we made a credit
able showing under the circumstances.
You may say to yonr people in Neb.,
that we of the south are in the light to
stay and that there are hundreds of
thousands all over tbe south who are
ouly waiting for the action of the Feb
ruary conference to mase a bold stroke
for liberty. No one thing has done
more to develop the new party spirit in
the south, than the fusion of the two
old parties in your state and in Kan
sas. The indignation is widespread and
universal; both parties here are split
open in consequence of it. And even if
the St. Louis conference does not de
clare for independent action, our vote
next year will be three times tnat ol tbis
year.
les, we are tola on every nana tnat
our niovemeat ia a scheme to disrupt
the Democratic party of the south,
while th tote of the west will swing in
to line for the Republicans.
But the crack of the party whip has
lost its letrors, and next year the left
wing of the money power wil" find its
bands full, for we have felt some of the
evil, of which you complain, not so
much perhaps of the mortgage curse,
but no state in the union is more cor
poration ridden than Ky.
If our farmer legislatures could have
given the corporations a titie in fee
simple to the whole state, they would
undoubtedly have done so. Our people,
however, in the last election asserted
their power to rule in the adoption of
tho new constitution by a majority of
138,000, although it was opposed by tbe
combined forces of railroads, banks.
water companies, gas companies, town
companies and mining companies. Ana
should I he Feb. convention declare for
independent action, the old parties will
not be in it, in Ky. But whothor they
do it or not. we will give them a hard
tight for supremacy.
Very Resp'y Yours,
W. P. Marsh.
