NO. IL
JONES HAMILTON ACQUITTED.

The Scimitar is pleased to announce
that Jones S. Hamilton stands acquitted
of the charge of having murdered
Roderick Gambrell, the rash and reck-
less young editor who made the Sword
and Shield hot with abuse of all who
differed with him upon questions of
public concern.
The Scimitar has always insisted that
Hamilton was incapable of deliberate
assassination, as has been charged by
other Memphis papers, and the record Of
his life was an irrefutable answer to that
theory. Jones Hamilton is brave man
whose courage has been tested in count
less ways, and no one who ever met him
could believe tnat he was guilty of the
foul deed he was charged with. 1t is
only the cowards who lay in ambush and
assassinates Jones Hamilton is no such
man. So said the Scimitar months ago,
when every hand was turned against
him and every newspaper in Memphis
was loud in its abuse of him. So say the
jury of twelve men who heard the tesHs
monv and gave him his freedom.
The Scimitar congratulates him upon
his acquittal. He has passed through an
ordeal that may wreck his life, but the
scars he bears are the best evidence Of
his innocence, and speaks louder than
words in support Of his innocence

DASTARDLY DEED


Special to the Memphis Appeal
JACKSON, MISS. April 24.--A bastard
" attempt to burn Belhaven, the resi-
dence of Col. Jones s. Hamilton, was
frustrated last night by the fortunate
.presence at the house of Mr.. Paul Wofford.
Mr.. Wofford was sleeping on the ground
floor and the family on the second floor,
Col. Hamilton being absent. He says
that ABOUT o'clock at night, having a
light burning in his room, he saw some
person from the outside steadily turn
the window blind. lie approached the
window, pistol in hand, and as lie per-
son turned the blind again Woford
placing his pistol between the stats, fired
two shots in the direction of the figure
and opened the blinds and jumped to the
ground and fired two more shots at the
person. He heard cry of pain, and on
subsequent examination found blood
at the place. An investigation disclosed
bundle of very fat pine thoroughly sat.
urated with coal oil and some matche:
that the parties had left at the eel.
lar entrance. From this it is supposed
they intended to fire the building in the
cellar The moon was shining brightly
and Wofford says that he saw the mer
distinctly, and that they were white, but
he could not identify them.

of them the growth has been immense,

From the Jackson (Miss,) Advertiser.l
The great trial of Jones S. Hamilton is
and family vindicated OF the grave charge
made against him which has for months
stirred our city and people. Now let us
all try and bury all animosities, let the
past be consigned to the past, and let US
all look hopefully to the future. Let
strife, ill-will and hatred rankle no longer
in the bosom OF any Of US, but let US all
pull together to build up good fellowship
among all our citizens, improve the city
and add to its welfare and prosperity,
This will be our effort. May others do
the same,
