AN ANTE MoRTEM STATEMENT.
Chief Weber hearing that the doctor had
pronounced the wound fatal, determined to
obtain Hamilton's 0nte-m0rtene statement.

Refs were dispatched to the hospital. They
arrived too late; Hamilton had only expired q

SYLVESTER RYAN AGAIN.
This man, the bar keeper, WHO seems to
have originated the row, which ended in the
loss of human life, visited the hospital after
Hamilton had been taken in. He was in a
befuddled condition, and while protesting
his great friendship for the dying man,
otherwise made himself decidedly and pro-
fanely drunken nuisance. The matron of
the establishment is authority for the state
ment, that Ryan was loud, profane, and alto
gether very obnoxious rutfian.
The police authorities did not inform their
prisoner, Beach, of the death Of Hamilton.
1t was thought best to reserve the informa-
ton until this morning at the coroner's in
quest, fearing that during the night Beach
might do himself bodily harm.
The pistol With which the death wound
was inflicted is a nickel-plated Champion
No. 2, calibre 80. After he, Beach, was
brought to the station, the pistol was taken
from him. -Four barrels of the cylinder
We're found loaded, and one discharged; the
fatal shot.
Comment on the tragedy is unnecessary.
The facts are given, and the moral is easily
deduced. There is, after all, nothing pecu-
liar or startling about the murder. It is one
which frequently happens, and can only hap
pen, in q whisky shop, and among the loaf
ers and thugs who frequent such dens.
