Your sincere friend, KATE KANE.
KATE AGAIN IMMURED IN DUNGEON
WALLS.
Judge Hamilton decided to-day upon
Kate's case upon the certi0rdri from the
proceedings before the court commis-
sioner. In lengthy opinion he re-
verses the decision of Commissioner
Ryan, and remands the high-spirited
female to jail, refusing to allow bail to
be given, as he holds the offence is not
bailable. Her chivalrous counsel will
probably carry the case to the Supreme
court. Kate said to reporter this
evening: "The act of mine in throwing
q glass of water into the face Of Judge
Mallory was not mere freak of
womanly impetuosity; it was done
four hours after he had refused TO as
sign me counsel. In the meantime /
had left the court room and returned.
Other things will be exposed and ex-
ploded that the public is unaware of at
present, which will change public
opinion. The act was a elimination
of three years of insults received
in Judge Mallory's court, which
/ have patiently submitted to- | have
been ill-treated by the press, and have
had no redress. AS soon as / am able
l intend to write complete statement
of my case for publication, and if the
papers here refuse to publish it, will
send it to the eastern papers. / will
never pay the fne if have to 20 to
Jail for year, or even-ten years. am
as firm as rock in this matter and will
fight till the last. There is more in it
than a dash OF water-there is ques-
ton Of principle involved. / have
nothing to say against Judge Hamilton;
he did what he considered his duty.
OF one thing am certain. If he were
trying the case ON its merits, his decis-
ion would be in my favor. / have
been morally convinced all along that
it was Judge Mallory who was pros
executing this case and got Sheriff Bent
ley. ] sent word last week to the sher-
iff that if he would drop all proceed
ings in this case, would not hold him
personally responsible for any dam
ages that might accrue, and would sign
a paper relieving him Of all response
bility. HIS reply was that he would
have to zee Judge Mallory. It is the
latter that is prosecuting the case.
Why did not the district attorney man.
age the case for the prosecution, instead
OF Williams, who is my bitterst enemy
He and Judge Mallory insulted me re-
peatedly during the past three years,in
the most bitter language, and if re-
torted was Instantly reprimanded.
There has been q regular effort on
the part Of Judge Mallory and few
gutter-snipes hovering on the out
skirts of the legal profession, and who
have been necessary to Judge Mallory
in his campaign work, to drive me out
Of the legal profestion. / do not in
tend to be driven out. do not care
a snap Of nay finger for public opin-
ion. If Cnrist was on the earth again
they would cruelty him right here in
or Judge Mallory would
send him to the house of correction.
I have been bounded and persceuted
since have been here, and
have never injured person. Will
liams is persecuting me IN the no
Of achieving notoriety."
