THE SHOOTING AFFAIR.

There have been no new developments in
regard to the shooting of Nettie Winl1elplek
by Mrs. Hamilton Sunday evening, except
the discovery OF another wound in the girls
head. Yesterday morning more careful ex-
animation was made by the physicians, which
| showed that ball had entered about one
inch above the left ear, and probably fat
tened itself, as there were no indications Of
its having penetrated the skull The wound
was not pf6bed, as the place was sore and
the patient very nervous. The physicians
were at first afraid that the injury was seri-
Gus, and advised that the girls testimony be
taken, but when they examined more particu-
larlY, concluded that it was unnecessary.
They again visited her in the evening and
found that she was quite comfortable. They
express the opinion that there Is at present
no danger of death.
During the night she was somewhat deliri-
Gus and unable to make any statements con-
corning the causes of the shooting, but yes
terday in conversation with friends said that
the attack was not deserved, that she had
never been intimate with George Hamilton,
and had seen him but once since residing in
his family, and then only on the street. She
expressed her intention of prosecuting Mrs.
Hamilton for shooting her.
George Hamilton, about whom the diff
Guilty occurred, is evidently suffering much
on account of the affair. He reiterates his
denials of guilt or of any intimacy with the
girl. he also asserts that he knew something
of the girls character, and objected TO her
staying at his house, and that his wife's jeal-
ousy was caused by stories told her by the
girl herself.
Mrs. Hamilton is yet in jail. Some of her
friends were endeavoring to secure her release
yesterday by furnishing bail, but by direction
of the City Attorney this was refused, in or
der to wait until the result of the wounds
upon Nettie Winkelplek is known. The lady
prisoner is still cheerful, and has from the
first been polite good-humored and courteous
to those who addressed her properly. She has
evidently been advised to talk less freely, yet
she asserts that she had just cause, and does
not regret her action, as it was only done
after she had endured much and knew that
her husband and the girl were together when
they should not have been. She denies that
she is excitable or was influenced by mere
suspicion or a vain Imagination. She mani
tests little malice, but thinks the girl is a bad
one. She utters no word of reproach against
her husband. and manifests sympathy for
him when speaking of his distress.
