Valued. at 'l‘wonty Thousand Dol lars -- They Disappeared at the Time of Her Dentin-Vain Search 1 by Luwyers-J’robably Stolen. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April I,—The lawyers engaged in the contest over the murdered Mrs. Barnahy’s will are trying to find $29,- 000 worth of diamonds and $7,000 worth of ‘ dresses of which it is supposed she was 3 possessed at the time of her murder. ‘Vheli Dr. ’l‘. Thatcher Graves arrived home a few hours in advance of Mrs. Barnaby’s body he said that one of the motives which prompted him to leave for the West when he heard that, his benefactress was ill and later that she was dead was that she had in her possession when she left Monterey, 03.1., for Denver,about S2OOOO worth of dia monds, which he deemed it his duty as her agent to look after. This statement was published, but on the trial the doctor, when the prosecution was pushing him to admit that he knew she had many valuables with her in Den ver, declared that he had no knowledge of them, but had presumed she might have diamonds. Since then various stories have been afloat as to the whereabouts of the jewels the doctor spoke of. Last week Mrs. Hickey, an old house keeper, was called upon by the law yers mentioned and a request was made of her that she deliver up the keys of her own trunks, and that the party he allowed to search her premises for the missing dia monds. as well as for Mrs. Barnaby’s watch. Mrs. Hickey declined to have her house searched, and she avers that she never had the property in her possession and does notknow where it is, if it ever existed. A LONG-FORGOTTEN LOAN .
