IS (1RAVES TUB MAN? He is IsiKiited as bii Adventurer and ihhI a Tramp loetor, Dknvfii, Dec. Mil. 1 11 the Graves trial to. day, immediately after Judge Hisinn's h'arifo lo the jury, Mr. l'ciice heL'an his closing ariruinent for the. prosecution. In the course of bis remarks be said: "You are determining an important ques-tion of lilc and death. The law aaks joii to lake w hat the law can not give again. The law requires you to ho satislled without a reasonable doubt before yon llnd him guilty. ",'f Gravis did not prepare the fatal draught that sent his benefactor to dealh, and you do not believe he did from the evi-dence, then let him go. It is uot because counsel can create fact or because attorney have any right to insist upon any unfair conclusion, it is because a solemn duty resls on us as well as on you; it is because. the law requires us to seek the truth, and it is because of this that counsel may be able to refresh your recollection so as to guide you towards the truth. ' With that notion of duty of counsel I come before you. Is there any doubt that Josephine Bamaby died of polsony I think not. I have no fear in saying, as all the testimony showed, that Mrs. Bamaby did so die. Was ii at the hand of Graves, who had no allies to assist him. but, unaided or aided, was lie the man - That is tho theory you are to solve. "There is no excuse for any jury in the world to hesitate a moment iu bringing in a verdict. He poisoned this woman. His re. lations with her began a year before her husband's death, fhu wus his patient. If it Is evident to you as it Is to me; to lier children, that the husband who has spent a long life with a wife better understands her needs, and the proper limitations to be placed on her after his death, than a tramp interloper who tomes iu aflcr his denth. "Everybody knows Mr. Bamaby better knew what was good for her when ho made, his will than did those interlopers. But lit-tle did he dream w hen ho dictated his will, that in the city of Providence there was an adventurer of a lawyer and a tramp of a doctor w ho would rob tho woman while he was in his grave."

"Well, we may meet some other ships thar" will waut some ammunition," was tho only answer. From other sources It Is Inferred that tho Charleston, now on tho way from Honolulu to Acapulco, is to meet the Sail Francisco here and take on the extra amiiiiinitwxi.
