POINTING TO GRAVES naby Poison Mystery. A SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT. "Frenchy No. |” Denies Murd ing Carrie Brown. THE NEW INDIAN MESSIAH. IS DR. GRAVES THE POISONER? It ts Claimed That He Mailed the Death Package to Mrs, Barnaby. Provipesce, RL, May 2.—Dr. Graves has been identifiedas the man who, on March 30, mailed in Boston the liquor which caused Mrs. Barnaby's death. Aman whose name is withheld was in the Post office on that date, and while asking for a stamp he was crowded from the window by a tall, well-dressed man, who was in too much of a hurry to apologize for his rudeness. This man lafd a package on the window. The package was weighed and a $5 bill tendered in pay- ment for stamps. It was noticed that the bundle was directed to somebody in Denver. The inci- dent was forgotten until Mra. Barnaby’s death. The story reached the eyes of this man, who had been treated 80 discourteously in the post office. ‘The description of Dr. Graves tallied exactly with that of the man who had mailed the pack- age. The man came to this city to see if he could throw any light upon the mystery. Last night he visited Dr. Graves and identified bim fully ns the man who had mailed the package. Further, he has identified the stamped wrapper which inclosed the package. The relatives of the murdered woman had a conference with the man last evening, and it is believed that decisive steps will now be taken to have the doctor apprehended. DESTROYED BY FIRE.
