The mysterious case of tho death of George Barber at Pagosa Springs, Colo., eaving insurance policies payable to Mrs Myrtle Wright of Sterling, Colo., who is suspected of having polsoned Barber, may ultimately come up in the lowa courts on A question of contesting the insurance pay- ments. An attorney for one of the com- panies interested in the $7.800 insurance Clinton Nourse, representing the Annuity Life association, made a thorough exam- inatton of the and had a chemical analysis of the stomach of Barber made. This analysis, made by a clever chemist has been received by the company and It shows traces of strychnipe. Upon this showing the company will refuse to pay the policy. The attofney 1s severe on the authorities of Colorado for not taking fur- ther steps to prosecute those suspected of the crime of poisoning Barber. He claims that the insurance companies have #pent $1,100 securing the evidence of the crime and that they have done all that they can afford to do. They will not go into the Colorado courts to establish the fact of a crime, but await suit in the lowa court to recover the Insurance and then fight the case. Mrs. Wright was formerly with Barber at Webster City, la, where Barber was a leading attorney. He had his insurance policies made out payable to her. A man named W. P. Neff is also mixed up in the case, but his antecedents Jave not been revealed. Barber died mys- teriously and no doctor was called to at- tend him and the coroner's investigation was hastily made.

F. H. Grace, pastor of the Griewold church, declarcd a verdict ac- quitting him on two of the charges, cen- suriog him for certain indiscreet conduct and admonishing him to be more careful bis future ministerial work. The charges of untruthfulness and immoral conduct were not sustained When the presbytery met ession James N. Currens made moderator and F. W this city clerk. The latter was given the asslstance of stenographer, who, after the trial, was required to turn over all her notes. The committee to investigate the charges were Revs, Barnes of Council Blufts, Aston of Atlantic and Young of Greenfield. The two Intter were appointed to prosecute the case and the first named to defend Rev. Rev. Barnes in adjourned of Logan was Montgomery of Grace urged that he h Information from the other side in con- fidence and that It would not be fair to have him act as attorney for the defense, and in his stead Rev. Stephen Phelps o Omaha Theological college was appointe Rev. Birnes was to assist the committee of prosecution. Rev. Aston was not in at- tendance on account of being occupied in removal to this city. Monday evening Rev Young was taken quite ill and the burden fell upon Rev. Barnes The young woman In the case, on whose testimony the case mainly hinged, was Miss Bessle rman, the 18-year-old daughter of W. C. Garman, a prominent merchant of Griswold and the superintendent in the pastor's Sunday school Other important witnesses for the proue- cution were: F. H. Burnham and L. L. Cotton, elders in the church, and J. E. Forsyth, one of the trustees. There were twelve or fitteen witnesses for each side. The defense Is reported to have made counter charges agalnst the complaining witness, which influenced the presbytery materially, it being a question as to the bellef of the statement of Miss Garman or Rev. Grace. The prosecution was specific in its testimony as to dates and the nature of the offense. A great many more wit- nesses were summoned, but declined to ap- pear. The presbytery was in scssion until 10 clock Monday night and all day yester- day. At 10 o'clock last night the testimony was concluded and the pleas begun. They lasted until 12 o'clock, when the verdict was (uken under covsideration. 1t was not reached until nearly 5 o'clock tnis morning. What caused the division-is un- derstood to be the question of the censure of Rev. Grace. The moderator, Rev.
