The Hamilton stabbing StirH Up All Al
lanuc city.
ATLANTIC CITY, August 27.-The hear
ing held here to-day in the case of Mrs.
Eyangeline Hamilton, wife of Robert Ray
Hamilton, Of New York, who is charged
with having stabbed Mary A. Donnslly, a
domestic in her employ, developed several
new points, which are detrimental to Mrs.
Hamilton. Justice Irving conducted the
examination. The prisoner when brought
in, showed sigrs OF great mental distress,
and al during the proceedings sat with her
head bowed on the railing in front of her.
THE HUSBANDS TESTIMONY.
Robert Ray Hamilton was the FIRST wit
ness. he testified as to the discharge OF
the servant, previous to the cutting and
hesita,ingly admitted that the knife used
Was in the hands Of his wife at this time.
Wituess gave his age as SO, and was not
Questioned as to family relationship.
Policeman Riddle who arrested Mrs.
Hamilton. states that the latter told him
on he way TO the station house that she
did il in selfdefsnse. DR. G.. W. Crosley,
Is DO attended the injured woman, showed
the nature %. the wGuna, at tue same time
stating the patient wss in very critical
condition. This testimony caused the
prisoner TO exhibit renewed signs Of ner-
vousress, aud was the only time she raised
her head since entering the court room.
The proprietress of the NOll Cottage on
Tennessee avenue where the tragic affair
took plscs was the next witness. Her
name is Mrs. Eizabsth Rupp, and her tes-
tinony was merely that she was the land
lady Of the cottage, and she identified the
prisoner and her husband IS former hoard
srs. When held by Court in 5000 bail as
witness Mrs. Rupp began sobbing, and
stated that abe could not procure bail and
besides had three children to support
The Justice then detailed an officer 10
watch her constantly until OOure shall
convene on September 10.
Az OFFICERS TESTIMONY.
T6e testimony of Police Sergeant Lader-
cy was more important. He stated Just
be fore placing Mrs. Hamilton iu q cell yes
LCINhNt nc arAcA ucl II sic uau NouilllAlcu
the deed. and she answered it, saying she
had used q white-handle dirk kniie, and
that in her excitement she had thrown il
on the bed or 10 the closet, she didn't
know which. The weapon WIS afterwards
found IN the closet. This concluded the
testimony and Judge Irving Temauded
the accused to prison at Mays Landing,
without bail, TO await the injuries Of
Nurse Donnelly. She was taken TO isil
this morning
Robert Ray Hamilton was held in 5000
BAIL which he cndesvored to secure under
surveillance OF detective. The high
standing of Hamilton has made the affair
one Of great interest, and intense excite
ment has been caused. The attempts OF
some. to prove that the man is not Robert
Ray Hamilton, have proved futile. Justice
Irving also has proof cf his identity that
cannot be denied The injured woman
still lies az DEATHS door.
