months ago the deceased was awarded
a contract for the making of a large

New YORK, Sept. 5.-Developments
in the case of Robert, Bay Hamilton
and the gang of conspirators who
preyed upon him by means of a ten
dollar baby, which they alleged was his,
and to show that the plot was directed
not only against Mr.. Hamilton's hap
piness, but against his life as well, and
that the ultimate object of the harpies
was to induce him to make will in
favor of the child and then get rid of
him. Assistant District Attorney
Jerome said Saturday, after the hear
ing of the case of Joshua Mann and
Mrs SwintOn had been adjourned I'M
til Friday, III those people had been
let alone they would have made Ham
ilton make will to suit them; and
then killed him." Inspector Byrnes
and Mr.. Clarke, counsel for Mr.. Ham
iiton, refused to talk of this aspect of
the case further than to say that it
would be a difficult thing to prove
such fact in connection with
the case unless it shonld
turn out that Mr.. Hamilton had
really been induced by the gang to
make will. 1t was intimated that this
was not the case. Another thing that
came out yesterday was that Eva Par
sons, Brill, Steel, Mann, or whatever
else her real name was, endeavored
when she was about to marry Hamil-
ton, to get rid of Josh by having him
put into an insane asylum. The emf.
nent specialist, whom she employed to
examine Josh and report him insane,
refused, however, to find anything
wrong about the fellows brain, and
this little plot within a plot fell
through. Mr.. Hamilton said yester-
day that when the time came he would
go upon the stand and testify under
oath as to the facts of his connection
with the woman and her gang, unit
then he believed the best policy was
for him to say nothing more than was
absolutely necessary.

Not The Right Man.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept. Cone of
the most remarkable murder case ever
recorded in this state is on trial in the
Fayette county criminal court. Last
Saturday L. r. Smith, detective, ar
rested jackson, the negro he hunted
thinking he was murderer. He as
forwards learned that he was mistaken
in his man. In order to secure his re-
ward Smith cut off one of Jacksons
ears with the consent of the latter.
Jackson's ears were marked similarly
to the ears of the man wanted. Smith
then feared that jackson would betray
him so he gave him the choice of hang
ing himself or being hanged. The ne
gro chose the former and while pre-
tending to search for a suitable place
made a break for liberty. Smith fired
and the negro fell. Smith left beleiv
| ing him dead. The negro lived how
ever to tell the tale and his dyinl
statement is the principal evidence.

iety there. He was warmly welcomed
as a visitor to the house OF Minister
McLane, and it was at one Of Mrs. Me-
Lanes receptions that he first met Miss
Huntington. She is a handsome wo-
man Of about thirty years. Through
the influence of the McIanes she was
shown much social attention in Paris,
where she made q good impression.
She received no end of offers of mar
riage from foreigners with titles to
sell before Prince Hatzfeidt appeared
on the scene. Among those VINO de-
voted themselves to her were Prime de
Rohan, Count de Talleyrand- PerigoFd
and Prince Reuss. Some of her titled
but impecuniOus admirers followed her
to AK, as did also Prince Hatzfeldt.
But the frequency with which Prince
Hatzfeldt and Miss Huntington were
seen together at that fashionable wat
ering place left no doubt that they
were were lovers. and that Prince
Hatzfeldt was the most favored of all
her suitOrs. His accomplished man
ners captivated her. Both the prince
and Miss Huntington were very much
disguised when the news of their en-
gagement got out. But their obvious
devotion to each other at AK, which
is crowded with Americans, rendered
it is impossible to maintain any degree
of secrecy.

The Chain OF Evidence Complete


NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Inspector
Byrnes' chain of evidence against the
Robert Ray Hamilton conspirators is
now complete, the last link in the shape
of the Identification of the $40 baby
having been welded to-day. On Tues
day he sent two detectives to Atlantic
City with the midwife who sold the
baby to the conspiratorS. She had told
che inspector that she could easily
identify the child by its large and pe-
culiarly shaped ears. Against this she
said Mrs. Hamilton had objected par
ticuIaTly at the time purchased, but
finally decided to take the child. The
midwife identified the child on sight,
pointing out to the detectiEe its tell
tale ears.
They next went To the Jail to see
Mrs. Hamilton, but she had changed
in appearance and fallen away in flesh
to such an extent that the midwife
could not positively identify her, but
when she came back to the city. Mr..
Byrnes showed her Mrs. Hamilton g
picture and she instantly recognized it
as that of her customer.
Joshua Mann told the inspector to-
day that during the last foar or five
years he had lived with Mrs Hamilton
| as her husband, and during all that
time she was never in the way of being
mother. He was with her constantly
after her marriage to Hamilton. He
says she showed him a will her hus-
band had made in her favor. 1t pro-
vided that in the event of his death ali
his money and the family jewelTy and
plate should go TO her and the child
and she was to be the custodian of the
child till she became of age. Ray
once fell from horse and broke his
leg, she remarked to Joshua, land he
may fall again and break, his neck, and
| then, Josh, will marry you.o To the
mind of the inspector this indicates
| that Eva was not married to Mann.
The inspector will not give the name
of the mother of the bogus Hamilton
child. He says she is, and was wheI
the child was born, a married woman
moving in good society.
