THE BOGUS BABY.
A few more fresh facts came to light In New
York yesterday. The midwife who gave the
baby known as Beatrice Hamilton to Mrs. Swim
ton and Eva, to be palmed of on Mr.. Hamilton
City yesterday, where she identified both the
baby and Mrs. Hamilton. The midwife's name
for the present is kept secret. Joshua Mann
made q statement yesterday to the effect that
during the four or five years he and Eva had
lived together he had never been absent from
her more than three or four days at time.
During that time she had never been in a deli
cate condition and could not have given birth
to child The child in question was born
some time between November and January
last and Mann swears positively that no such
event occurred within that period.
WAS THERE A PURPOSE TO MURDER HAMILTON?
Inspector Byrnes said he had no evidence
that tho ron ay,iro tors pronoaod IN r;d ~
Hamilton to secure his property. Only one
statement made BY Mann yesterday pointed to
a murderous purpose. After Mr.. Hamilton's
marriage to Eva she showed Mr.. Hamilton's
will to Mann. 1t went to show that in case Of
his death all Of his wealth and property should
go to his wife and daughter, making his wife
the sole custodian of the property for the
daughter until the latter came of age, when
the property was to be equally divided. Eva
said this was good thing to have in case Mr.
Hamilton got killed; that as he was fond of
horseback riding he might meet with q serious
accident some time, and then Eva told Josh
she would marry him. To the mind Of Inspec-
tor Byrnes this goes to show that Eva was not
married to Mann. The midwife who is mixed
up in the matter is apparently a respectable
woman and had no idea Of the use for which
the child was procured. Mrs. Hamilton at first
objected to the child on account of its large
ears.

| turned to New York city, and her family ex-
penses were paid by her father, who was
still living in Baltimore. Since 1880 she has
