your case is decided. expect / shall see 8
notice OF it in the paper, but will be glad to
hear about 1t from you,, whichever way il
goes. Ii you are acquitted, as 1 hope you
the world with firm determination to live
down the past. and win for yourself q
name for honest industry and perseverance in

Well, won't write you sermon, but have
your real welfare at heart and want to be your
true friend.

vice after all. l gave your mes.
sage to Hamilton and he will write.
You will be very sorry to hear that Murray Is
SICK IN similar way with Smith, only not so
pad. he was taken to the hospital on Mon.
Gay and l have been twice to see him. He
was feeling little better to-day, but he can.
not eat, although the matron sends him up
all kinds of nice things.
am glad to say Lavalle has been acquitted,
but Murphy is held over.
Mr. Vanderhoef has heard from Hutchins;
he had reached Chicago oH his way to his
home in New York. / think from your de.
scrlption that Winona is very prettily situat.
cd, but have never been there.
With kind regards and best wishes, believe
me, your sincere friend,

FROM ONE OF THE PRISONERS. .
Mr.. Hatch also enclosed to Sheriff
Richter the following letter from one OF
the prisoners in the Ramsay county jail,
which is supposed to have gone through
box 1877. The postscript to this letter is
quite interesting. There can't be much
surprise that Mr.. Hatch was indignant:
ST.. PAUL, March Is, 1882.
FRIEND DICK: l suppose you thought l
mad forgotten you and your friend altogether
but such is not the case. Hutch got out last
week and ne told me he was gong TO stop over
In Wlnona and go and see you and I sent 9
letter with him to you telling all about my
case. Well, Dick, am here yet but am ex
pectlng to get out every day. A friend OF
mine was in to see me the other day and he
had just left Egan's office, and he
told him that the Judge was
going to discharge me without trial, and
am anxiously waiting for the day to come.
Well, Dick, have been very lonesome since
you and Clark have left, and L miss poor Billy
more and more every day. 1 have received
two letters from his wife and she feels very
sorry that did not send for her while he was
SO sick, and more so when thought he would
not live, but l told her in my letters II
was his request that [ should
not do it and she does not blame me now. II
| succeed in getting out as soon as / expect
VIII stop and see you and you can depend OF
it. 1t won't be like Hutch's stop though-s

a letter from you and you would
like to hear from me. die
not think Hutch was quite SO deceitful as he
is. He told me in such faith he would, that
gave him my overcoat, for he looked kind oil
bare with his bob-tail coat in the month oil
March. The Jail is pretty well thinned out
now. We celebrated st. Patrick's day in great
shape, and here is the toast Here's to OLD
Ireland, and to He'll with the Dutch. Give my
kindest regards to Clark. i must close, SO

P. S.-Write as soon as possible and direct
to J. Hamilton, care of Miss s. f. Paine, box
