SAYS HE DID NOT CONFESS

Dr. Graves Denies the Statement of Deputies Who Accompanied Him to Jail. Never Said & Word Against His Friend1, Col. Ballon The Doctor's Wife Out of Her Mind-IIis Mother Prostrated. Denver, CoL, Jan. 4. Dr. Graves, who was convicted of murder in the first degree in poisoning the late Mrs. Barnaby. of Providence, R. I., was visited by a reporter in his cell in murderer's row at the county jail to-day. The Doctor again denied having made any confession of any kind to anybody. He said that neither his wife nor his mother had been to see him since he was convicted, ashe had requested them to not come for a few days. He also said he had received no word -from them except what came to him through the newspapers. "Did yon make any confession to the deputy sheriffs or to any one else?" he was asked. "Most emphatically no," he replied. "Did yon not state that you wanted to admit that you sent a bottle of good whisky, but Mr. Ballon would not allow yon to do so!" "No, sir; I never made such a statement to any living being." "Did you not tay you were sorry that Colonel Ballon came to Denver, and tbat you believed his coming had hurt your case?" "No, sir, I did not; nor did I believe it He came at my earnest solicitation, and I believe he did the best he could lor me. I have not said a word against Colonel Ballou, nor could I do so truthfully." "Did the officers who had yon in charge ply you with questions while you were being taken from the court-room to the county jaiii" "No. sir; they did not." "Did Deputy Sheriff Wilson make a statement to ycu that you had been convicted after a fair trial, and your only hopo now lay in a fall confession and a plea for clemency from the Governor!" "No. sir; not while we were coming over here; but at 8:20 o'clock in the morning, while I was lying here asleep, Wilson came in and woke me up, stating he had just come from District Attorney Stevens, and that Mr. Stevens advised that I should make a confession, implicating Ballon, and tbat it would help me out more than anything else. I refused to make any statement, and he went away." Deputy Sheriff Wilson still maintains that the Doctor confessed, but Deputy Means refused to either 'confirm or deny what the Doctor is alleged to have said. "I have told only two persons what statement Dr. Graves made," said Means, "and those persons wore Judge Furman and Sheriff Barton. I started to tell Mr. Furman in the presence of the Doctor, but the Doctor jumped np and called me a liar, and as the old man was already suffering enough from his conviction, 1 did not dispute withhim. At the proper time 1 will tell all." said he in conclusion. The Doctor further stated to the reporter that he bad cot talked with Colonel Ballon since they ate dinner together Saturday at noon, and that, while he did not know whether tho Colonel was in town at thev time of the alleged confession, he had received an intimation that he was going away that night As stated yesterday, Colonel Ballon left Denver, for Providence, an hour before the verdict was returned. His friends claim that he did not go in a secret manner, but was forced to be in Providence on Tuesday of this week, and did not return to hear the verdict A detective in the employ of John II. Conrad, the late Mrs. 13 arc a by son-in-law, is following the Colonel on his eastward trip. No warrant for Colenel Ballou's arrest has been issued. Mrs. Ballon is here and is qnite ill, but has not gone insane, as was at first reported.. Mrs. Dr. Graves has at times since the verdict been out of her head, and today has grown worse, and is continually raving about the Doctor being hung. The relatives in Providence have been sent for to take charge of her. The Doctor's grayheaded mother is prostrated with grief at her hotel, but bears her trouble with greater fortitude than the Doctor's wife. It has been charged by the defense that the jnry was unduly induenced during the trial by having access to the daily papers. This is strenuously denied by the twelve jurors. When the grand jury adjourned, at a late hour this evening, it was learned that nothing had been done by them in regard to indicting Colonel Balloa. Dr. Graves caused a surprise to-night when he said that Colonel Balloa had come to him on Saturday night last and told him he was going to leave town because ne was afraid of being arrested if he stayed in Denver any longer. When the Doctor gave this information he suddenly became reticent and nothing further could bo learned from him. ' - DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecasts.

Pink Bluff, Ark., Jan. 4. Linwood. a village twelve miles from here, is in a ferment of excitement caused by the work of mob of a dozen negroes led by a white man named Puryear. It appears ibat this band has been terrorizing the town for somo time. .Its members have been circulating petitions for the removal of the railroad station some distance south of its present location, but they were strongly opposed by Dr. Bryan, a well-to-do cituen. In revenge the desperadoes visited the Doctor's gin and burned it to the ground. They then fired the depot and proceeded through the streets, firing Winchester rifles at the housed as they went along, with a view of

keeping the villagers indoors. The depot was destroyed. The sheriff immediately organized a posse, and at last accounts had lodged Puryear and three of his gang in jail. RAIDING ANAECIilSTS FOIJ MOSEY.

Why the Chicago Tollce Are So Active In Suppressing Gatherings of Alleged "Reds." CmcAOO, Jan. 4. A morning paper publishes a sensational story professing to give the inside history of a couple of raids by the police upon meetings of alleged Anarchists in November last The first was by Inspector Hubbard npon a meeting at the West Twelfth-street Turners' Hall, where he compelled the leaders to display the American Hag prominently on the platform. The next, a couple of days later, was by Inspector Lewis, who raided Griefs Hall, broke into acouple of rooms occupied by labor organizations and destroyed some property in the alleged search for incriminating documents. A number of men were also arrested. The cases against them were very weak, and the city was content to have tho fines assessed against them in Police, Court remitted; but the arrested men were not satisfied and appealed to a hiffher court for vindication. The societies also presented bills to the city for tho loss of property, and the bills were paid. The alleged inside history, as given this morning, is to the etiect that soon after the liaymarket riot of 18S6, which led to the death of a number of policemen and the hanging of four of the Anarchists, a secret meeting of threo hundred wealthy citizens was held at which an organization was formed to help stamp out anarchy. The story soes on to say that at that meeting over $100,000 in money was raised and turned over to a committee to use at its discretion for the purpose in view. No report of the nse of that orof any subsequent contribution was made, but the understanding was that the money was used to inspire vigilance on the part of the police. It is related that these contributions, ranging from $140.(XX) to $153,000 annually in the aggregate nearly JTiOO.OOO were paid without question till last October, when the committee called a meeting of the contributors, explained that it had not spent any of the last assessment, about $00,000; that anarchy appeared to be dead, and that there 6eemed to be no further use for the organization. This met the views of the meotintr, and it was resolved to make no mora contributions, 'ibis, tho story goes on to say, was not satisfactory to the police, who had been the beneficiaries of the fund, and they eet to work to convince the members of tho disbanded society that anarchy was still alivo and active, with raids as a result It is not charged tbat the inspectors who made the raids were in tho conspiracy, and Chief of Police McClaughrey is exonerated from all blame in the matter. .

W. S. GILBERT'S NEW OPERA

Production at tho Lyric Theater of His Long-Expected "Mountebanks." Unusual Sympathetic Interest in the First Presentation from the Fact of the Death of the Composer, Mr. Arthur Cellier. reclal to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 4. At the Lyrio Theater, this evening. Mr. W. S. Gilbert's long-expected opera. "The Mountebanks," with the late .Mr. Arthur Cellier" music, was prodnced lor the first time. The scene of this attractive operatic work is laid in Sicily in the early part of the recent cent ury, ino nrst act opens wun a pretty scene formed of a picturesque Sicilian pass in which there lean inn and Mount Etna and a monastery in the distance. A procession of Dominican monks gravely chanting the "Miserere," in Latin, is then presented, and the audience is already favorably impressed with the opera. The plot of "The Mountebanks" may be said to be built around an old Alchemist, who is hunting for the philospher'a stone. He Anally blows himself up and his landlord seizes his belongings for the rent Among his effects is a mysterious bottle labeled, "Man ib a hypocrite and wants al ways to be better than he really is. The contents of this bottle will make those who drink of it what they pretend to be." Tho medicine falls into the hands of Pietro, the proprietor of a troupe of mounte banks. The dnnkinz indiscriminately of this potion causes much fun and arouses roars of laughter. Pietro (Mr. Lionel Brough) mixes the magic medicine with wine and civesit to his two mountebanks. a clown and a dancing girl. Mr. H. Monkhouse plays the 'Showman's clown, and Miss Ada Jenoure plays the dancing gin. They pretend to be wax-work figures, and accordingly are transformed into automatio figures ot Hamlet and Ophelia, respectively, and are worked on tho "penny-in-the slot" principle, which gives rise to a number of most laughable absurdities; they, among other things, pretend to love each other, and finally become lovers in reality. The clock-work figures sing: If orr acting is stiff and crude. Do not lanb, because it's rude. , If our vestures promise larks, Do not wake unkind remarks. Clock-work figures may be found Everywhere, nnd all around. Ten to one, if we but knew. You are clock-work figures, too; Ana the motto of the lot, Put a penny in the slot. Bartolo (the clown) sung tho first two lines. Nita (the dancing girl) the second couplet, and so alternating. Eventually the magic potion has eiloct upon the Tarnmaras, members of a secret society, whose thirst for blood and revenge is caused by the fact that live hundred years ago the brother of the mother of their ancestors' next-door neighbor was wrongfully convicted. The Tammaras capture the monastery and drink of the wine in which the old alchemist's niagio potion has been mixed, nnd the robbers are at once transformed into monks. After all sorts of comical complications, the showman manages to untangle everybody, and the play ends happily. The following is the cast: Arroetino Anncgato (captain of a secret society) : Mr. F.

The messengers asked for Cardell's reinstatement and the restoration of wages to tho higher iigure. The company refused, and to-day a strike of messengers from Cairo to New Orleans was ordered. No express went out of Jackson to-day. The railroad men sympathize with the strikers, and this evening, when the express came in, took the new messenger out of his car. This is likely to take the trouble into railroad circles. Struck for IS Cents Per Hoar. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 4.

The Journal is first of all a newspaper. Its primary object Is topub lish the news, and to secure this it spares no pains or expense. Besides the service of two great news agencies, which cover foreign countries as well as the entire United States, it has a corps of Special Correspondents, who give attention to those events and occurrences that are likely to bo of particular interest to the Indiana public Its Washington bureau waa established for the purpose of looking after matters in which the State and its people are concerned, and is under the management of an Indiana man well acquainted with the local business and political issues. It has a correspondent in every town of importance in the State, and is constantly increasing its facilities for obtaining information from every quarter. Its staff of city reporters is large, and its local departments ard unexcelled. As a newspaper it is far better equipped than any other in the State, and welcomes comparison with its contemporaries in any and all of its departments. With all it endeavors to be accurate and trustworthy, printing the news whatever it may be, without personal or partisan bias. But while the Journal is non-partisan as to news, it is a Republican paper, and sets forth Republican principles. It is important that tho people shall read the truth about these principles, and it was with the or ject of putting everybody in the way of doing so that the price of the
