Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-10-10

A greal deal of pompous circumstance
and detail was given by the World yester-
day in its publication of an interview with
Mrs. Eva Hamilton in the penitentiary at
Trenton. Mrs. Hamilton there told 'Nel-
lie Bly," as she had before told reporters
and officials, that Baby Beatrice was her
own; that she really loved Hamilton; that
Josh Mann and the Swintons were the
cause of all her troubles, and that Mr..
Hamilton, rich as he is, had never given
her more money than he had borrowed back
from her. The latter is the only distinctly
new feature in the interview, and this is
how Mrs. Hamilton told it
''Mr Hamilton claims he gave me $4,000.
That is not true. Twill tell you how it hap
pened. He and friend of his went out the
road with -- (she again gave the names)
They stopped at a road-house and they all
drank too much wine, and when Mr. Hamilton
came back, ha told me all about it and what
had happened, which was something dreadful.
1 got angry and we
HAD A QUARREL,
and threatened to 60 to to-@, the hus-
band of the lady (giving his'name) and tell him
the whole thing. Mr.. Hamilton begged me
not, and said if promised never to tell he
would give me $4,000 I promised. He
gave me $1,000, which | intended to
pay for a house had bought at Passaic
Bridge, N. ]. In a few days he asked
me for 81, 900 back gave it. Afterward he
borrowed 81 800 of my own money, and still
again S., $50. He had never paid the other he
borrowed back, SO this time sald 70 MIN: .ts hay
but tomorrow you will deny every word OF IT.
SO I won't give you cent unless you give me
receipt to that effect
rowed money! etc. This receipt is with my
papers in the Atlantic City Bank. At three
different times after this he borrowed $50, SlOO
and Sl5O from me. He never paid one cent
back, and they have all been saying was TAX
ing his money from him.
''My diamonds they talk about are only
worth 81, 50O The majority of them owned.
Mr. Hamilton gave me very few. Besides, l
have 81 ZOO. all of which is IN bonds and
bank"
NO CHECK ON THE DOODLE.
''Mr. Hamilton, as 1 have told you, never
raised any objections to my giving money to the
Swintons. I kept Mrs. Swinton, Josh Mann,
Mrs:Swinton's granddaughter Carrie Swinton,
or Collens, as her right name is). kept them
all, because they threatened me. At
last Kate Collens, Mrs. Swinton's
daughter, found out about Mr.. Hamilton

When 1 went to Jersey they all went along
and lived with me, and Mr.. Hamilton knew 1t
and did not object. Josh Mann got knocked
down with my horse, which was very vicious,
while in Jersey. He struck on the back of his
head and lay insensible for almost "a hours.
When we returned to New York took him to
DR.. Bull, DR.. Paine and half a dozen other doc
tors. He has never been right since that, and
should not be held responsible for what he says.
zone year ago last spring told Mr.. Hamilton
wanted to go to Europe. He gave me s., 900
to go on. told him 1 wanted to take Josh
Mann for company, and he said it was all right.

than had expected and went up to the mount

returned to the city and took fat in West
Fifty-seventh street."
