The Supposed Murderer of Mrs.
Barnaby Died by Poison.
HE WAS COLD WHEN DISCOVERED.
He Wrote a letter to the Public and
Denied All Connection with the
Death or the Unfortunate
^ ^ ^ ^ Who was Poisoned.
Denver, Sept. 4.—Sunday morning
the body of Dr. Thatcher Graves was
found cold in death in his cell in the jail
in this city.
Dr. Graves had been tried and con
victed of poisoning, and liad been sen
tenced to hang. The court had granted
him a new trial and the case was soon to
be called.
His victim was' Mrs. Josephine Bama-'
by, of Providence, who, at the time of
her death, was visiting friends in Den
ver. She died April 19,1891, On April
9, she drank from a bottle of whisky
that had come by mail from Boston, and
was labeled, “Wish you a happy New
Year. Please accept this fine old whisl^
from your friends in the woods.”
The whisky contained a solution of
arsenic. Dr. Graves waa accused of
sending the bottle. After one of the
most famous trials in the criminal an
nals of this country, Dr, Graves was
convicted of murder in the first degree
and was sentenced to be banged. The
supreme court granted a new trial which
was to have begun the latter part of this
month.
The following letter addressed to the
coroner indicates that his death was
caused by poison bipt fee pharacter of
the poison will not be revealed except
by an autopsy.
In his letter to the coroner Dr. Graves
says;
Please don’t bold anyjautopsy on my re
mains. The cause of flpath may ite ren
dered as follows: Died from persecution,
worn out, exhausted. • '
Pr. Graves left a letter addressed to
the public which, after charging the
doctors at his trial, the bailiffs, court
officials, except tne clerk of fee court,
fee deputies and judge and jury were all
under fee control of Iky Stevens, the
district attorney, a young leading politi
cian. and that he stood nq ghance against
Stevens, backed by such a judge and a
purchasable jury. H.e says fie is tired
of tbe whole business. He is exhausted,
and thinks it useless to continue the
fight.
He continued os follows!
If it was a fair stand up, legal fight, I
should have had some chance and would
stand up to it. But it is not fair. It is as
fouj apd dirty AP Affair AS ever disgraced a
court. The whole power pt tjip court is in

Another letter was addressed to Cai

It would keep a man busy to follow Ste
vens and the lies which he unblusliingly
t ands out to the public. One or two,
owever, is needed, and they are easily
proven to be lies.
I was a member of the Massachusetts
Medical society, also the Connecticut state
Medical society. I never have made an
application to tbe Rhode Island Medical
society for admission. My lawyers have
papers proving that I never wronged Mrs.
Barnaby nor her estate. The estate now
owes me. The public now sees what I
have to expect from the villainous, cow
ardly falsehoods of Stevens. I cannot ex
pend more money fighting him. I must
take the only means to prove it for my
wife and dear, honored, aged mother.

Irishmen Will Not Honor Shank*.
Chicago, Sept. 4.—Lord Mayor Shanks

Saturday the executive council of the so
cieties issued a circular withdrawing the
request, saying that Mayor Shanks’ rela
tions with the people of Dublin preclude
the possibility of his being received as a
representative Nationalist. It calls at

invite any of the Dublin city council to

. He Waa Appointed as Judge Clarke’s
\ Successor.
’ Tbe appointment of Mr. Joseph Hen
ry Lumpkin as Judge Marshall J,
Clarke's successor will give eminent
satisfaction throughout the entire
State, and especially in Athens where
he was born and where he hai so many
firm f iends.
Governor North*n carefully consid
ered all the recommendations of the
two candidates, Messrs Lumpkin and
Wes’moreland and gave the appoint
ment to Mr. Lumpkin.
Col E. K. Lumpkin, of this city, is a
brother of the newly appointed judge
and a’l day yesterday was the recipient
of congratulations from his Athens
friends.
Joseph Henry Lumpkin wns born at
Athens, Ga., thirty-five years •’gi. He
is a son of W. W. Lumpkin and a
grandson of ex-Chief Justice Lumpkin
of tbe State Supreme court. He is a
third cousin of Ja&tice Samuel Lump
kin of the Supreme bench.
Mr. Henry Lumpkin was one of the
youngest members of his class when
he graduated, and he took the first
honors. He came to Atlanta in 1875
and read law with Captain Harry
Jackson, being admitted to the bar iD
1876. For some years he was associat
ed with Captain Jackson in tbe prac
tice of fee pref-eston, the firm being
Jackson 4b Lumpkin. He was appoint
ed assistant reporter cf the Supreme
court in 1877, and he held that position
until Captain Jackson resigned as re
porter, when Mr. Lumpkin was ap-
rointed to that place. That was m 1881
and he served as reporter un'il 1888,
when he resigned to resume the aotive
practice of bis profession. In accept
ing the resignation, Chief Justice
Bleckley, expressing tbe regrets of fee
court, said from the brnoh:
“In directing that this resignation
he accepted and recorded on tbe min
utes, I will observe for the court that
it is with great regret that ye part
with an effloer whose services have been
sofaitlfal and efficient. Every pub
lic si^vant who dhcharges his duty is
worthy of high commendatipn, apd this
Mr. Lumpkin ha3 done with a remark
able fidelity and with great skill and
ability. In some repps ots his faculty
for reporting is rtmarkable. He can,
with more facility and expedition than
almost any other man l have eyer
known, arrive at the true contents cf a
record or opinion and present them in a
condensed form, nuking a sort of min
iature of any esse, however Isrge its
proportions, and yet a miniature that
reflects its features accurately. I re
peat that we part with him with very
great regret, and, as numerous as the
bar of Georgia is, with scarcely a hope
feat we will find a successor equal in
all respects to himself for the functions
cf this important office.”
Mr. Lumpkin has a large practice in
the Suite and Federal courts. He has
been connected with some of tbe most
noted cases which have been before the
courts of Georgia in recent years.
Among others, he was o-e of the coun
sel together with Captain Harry Jack-
Sin, Hon. E. K Lumpkio, bis brother,
and Hon. H. H. Carlton in the cele
brated Southern Mutual Insurance Co
case, involving hundreds cf thousands
of dollars, and bringing in question
the determination of a reasonable re
serve for the Mutual Insurance Co, and
fee rights of the policy holders to have
tbe excess distributed. He was also of
counsel of the Cotton States Life Insu
rance Co. case, involving tne winding
up of a Life Insurance Co. and the
rights of ,the policy holders. In one
volume of the Supreme court rr porta
there are twenty cases in which he ap
peared.

not be less than 600 dead from those feat
have been heard from, give an idee of
what is to be expected.
The dead are buried as fast as they
are found now. People do not wait for
coffins or even boxes. Hundreds of
bodies he in the mud and are washed np
hy tbo tide. Over these the earth is
thrown, or perhaps they are rolled into
treni hes. It is impossible to dig graves.
Th-• : tench from the decaying animal
ant. vegetable matter is almost unendur
able.
One report brought in from an outly
ing island was that within a radius of
hj?J5 , 11 uul® 150 bodies were found.
Whole families were drowned together,
their bodies being found in heaps. Simi
lar reports come from every part of the
devastated country. In one place tho
bodies of 00 people were buried together
in one big hole. At Coffin Point 30 lives
wore lost, and bodies are floating up
with every tide. It is reported here that
the coroner of Beanfort county had held
inquests so far over the bodies of 896
dead, nearly all negroes.
It is estimated that between 8,000 and
10,000 inhabitants of the sea islands aro
entirely destitute. The cotton crop is
ruined, and the phosphate industry so
badly crippled that work will be sus
pended. There is talk of appealing to
the governor of the state, asking the sus
pension of the royalty on phosphate
Sheriff Reid, of Beaufort county, who
has been collecting the names of tho
dead, says he has counted 986 bodies.
For 400 of these he has found names. In
cases where whole families were killed
by fee storm he has not given them all
names, but puts in his record .“John
Smith, wife and six children.”
. His covers bat the one county and fee
islands included in it. The counties ad
joining are yet to be heard from,
polioes from the Storm.

GERMETDER.
CURES FEVERS.
Dr- J. W. Nelms says:
Atlanta^ Ga., August 14,1893.
For the past two years I have used
King’s Royal Germetuer in my practice
and with most satisfactory results. I have
used it in Typhus, Typhoid and Bilions
Fevers, and always with the speediest and
best effects. It lowers the temperature and
breaks up fevers of all kinds common to
this latitude, more expeditiously than any
remedy within my knowledge. From my
own experience in its use, upon myself and
upon others to whom I have recommend
ed and administered it. I believe it would
be a good remedy for Yellow Fever. It is
a most excellent antiseptic, cures Catarrh,
Insomnia, Night Sweats and Eczema in
all its forma. Kmg’a Royal Germetuer ia
emphatically a safe remedy and leaves no
injurious effects in the system.
