E. S. Worrell Tells What Ho Knows
Aliont VrH. Jliirnal > y's Dentil.
Dn.NVRit , Colo. , Dec. 15. R. S. Worrell , Jr. ,
was called to the stand this morning. Ho
said ho notified Mrs Conrad of the death of
her mother , Mrs. Barnaby. Ho gave con
gestion of the lungs ns the cause of death.
Mr. Worroll statea that ho wus in the real
cstato business and loaned money. He know
Mrs. Barnaby had about f 100,000 and she had
talked about investing some or most of this
amount in Denver. "Had I haa this amount
to Invest , of course I would , bavo received a
fair commission for handling It. " Ho ad
mitted that ho hnd frequently written his
mother whllo she was on tbo trip to Califor
nia with Mrs. Barnaby , but ho bad lot the
packaco , supposed to bavo contained whiskey ,
remain lu tbo postofllco from March ill to
April 1 because ho did not know bor doflnlto
address , and after bis mother returned homo
ho let the package remain In the postofllco a
week because ho did not Know how long Mrs.
Barnaby would remain at tbo coast. After
Mrs. Bnrnaby died ho retained two lawyers
to take charge of the case , but claimed that
ho did so upon the instructions of Mrs. Bur-
naby's ' daughter , Mrs. Conrad. Mr. Worrell
then repeated the oft-told story about Mrs.
Barnaby being dissatistlod with Dr.
Graves as her business manager , and
changing her will so as to lonvo him ? -,000
Instead of $ ,50,000. Mr. Worroll declared
Unit when the oauso of Mrs. Barnaby's death
was first being discussed ha did not know
that ho or any of his family was suspoatod of
complicity in the crimo. Ho modttlod this
statement somewhat when u newspaper was
produced which contained an Interview with
him on this vcrv subject.
Mrs. Worroll , Jr. , was rocaliod , and tosti-
Hod that after the fatal package bad boon
brought homo from the llvorjr stable , where
It had remained till night in tbo buggy , that
it was placed on the dlnlncrrooin table , where
It remained for a day before the woman
drank from U.
The prosecution will use this as a point to
show that the Worrells did not Know the
contents , for If they had , they would not
have placed It there where any ono could
bavo drunk of It.
Mrs. Worroll also corrected a statement
made by tbolr servant girl to the effect that ,
after Mrs. Barnaby's death , she had beou
ordered to empty and cloansa all the bottles
in Iho houso. The girl was ordered to clean
ono aud pour Into it some tonlo from u larger
bottle which Mrs. Worroll wanted to take
with bor on her Journey.

Tbo funeral exorcises ever tbo remains of
llosa Lake , the child-wife of William Lake ,
occurred at 10 n , m. yesterday nt the Chris
tian church. A small funeral cortege , com
posed of grlef-strlclccn relatives and sympa
thizing friends , followed the body to Laurel
Hill cemetery , where it was buried by the
sldoof hor'infant.
What is to bo done about the case is not
yet known positively * . -Dr. Berwick , who
made tha autopsy , Is dangerously 111 from
blood poisoning , contracted whllo making the
post mortem examination of the body. Dr.
Simpson , ho says , sent him word yesterday
tbat ho demanded an Immediate Investiga
tion of the matter and that the atTatr must
como speedily to nn end. Dr. Berwick said :
' You hot tuls thing is pretty near to an
end for him. The investigation U already
made and I huvj the proofs of malpractice.
What docs the man moan by sending such u
message to mo , when bo know * that I am
prostrate with blood poisoning ! "
Dr. Glaseow , who assisted Dr. Simpson ,
declares that the delivery was easy and that
Dr. Sirnp'on did everything right from a
medical standpoint at tuo tlmo of tbo birth.
In reply to this Dr. Berwick savs : "Who
U this Glasgow ! Ho Is u postmaster. What
was ho boforol A barber. Now you know
why ho would make such statements , when
the autopsy reveals the fact the very oppo
site of what ho says Is tbo case. Don't tnko
my word for It , but ask either Dr. Thomas
Kelly , or Dr. James ICollv or Stu
dent Marsh. Lot any Dbyslcfan of repute -
puto look at these parts in alcohol
over yonder and tlioso fluids in the bottles
there and see of they don't toll the sumo talo.
You hot I can back every statement mado. "
Dr. Thomas Kelly was seen. Ho was very
conservative in his remarks , but said that
from tbo portipn of the body ho had exam
ined that ho woulu say that Mrs. Lake's
death was duo either to Ignorance or neglect.
'Tho doctor avoided saying anvtblng further
in regard to the work of Dr. Simpson , except
to cite authorties ! to shov that the lacera
tions should have been attended to immed
iately.
Dr. Berwick's arm Is still in n dangerous
condition on account of the poisonous sub
stances from the body being absorbed into a
cut on his finger. At "cUO p. m. ho was
seized with acute pains , and it was bcliovcd
for several minutes that ho was dying. Ho
thought himself tbat his last hour had como.

Vera Noel and May Norton , two not unat
tractive girls of about 17 , were arrested for
the fourth , time on the charge of being deter
mined to bo bad. They had gotten out of jail
only last Saturday and Vow solemnly prom
ised her mother that she would bo good
henceforth. She claims that she has kept hoi-
prom iso , but the fact that she and
May were ccught with dissolute follows in a
wino room caused the police judge to doubt
the story. Ho therefore pave them each
thirty davs in the county jail as a lesson.
Too Judge added that in case Vor.i wished
to send for her mother anil would go homo
with her and behave herself , and if May
would write to her mother and return homo
with her , ho would remit the sentence. Both
girls , however , refused to do this , and they
went to jail.

tion remains unsigned. Garllck's attorney
noticed the omission and at once set to
work to got his client out of jail
on the ground tbat the information was dc-
foctlvo. That was why Bouquet appeared
this morning and Iliad another complaint ,
wbicli ho was careful to sign , and another
warrant was Issued , so that , when Mr. Gar-
lick is released ho will find an officer wait
ing with a warrant to again take him into
custody.
This will necessitate doing the work nil
over again , with another preliminary examin
ation and all its etceteras unless Gnrllcic
should conclude to waive his privileges in
that particular.

Colonel H. H. Horst , a prominent mining
man of Butte , Mont. , Is In the city domiciled
nt the Paxton. Ho is hero with some ores for
tbo Omaha smelter. The colonel says
there is much prosperity in the greatest
mining camp in ttio world. Since the Ana
conda mines and smelters have resumed
operations the 10,000 idle men who were
walking tbo streets last summer are all nt
work.
"Within the next five years , " said the col
onel , "Butto will hnvo a population of 100,000.
It is not only the greatest mining camp in
'
the world , b'ut the greatest Industrial center ,
with moro money and' ' prosperity than any
city on earth. It's a wonder ; a whirlwind
of bustle dnv and night. New mines uro
being daveloped , and people the past few
months have boon astounded. Tbo ono great
problem to be solved , and which is a black
oyp to the town , is the smelter smoke which
settles so densely over the city that It Is a
terrible nuisance and very detrimental to
health , as it contains , nrsemcal and sulphur
ous poisons that people nro obliged to in
hale. Stops are being taken , however , to try
and abate it by scion.lillo processes. "
