The last chapter in the legal record of the
Robert Ray Hamilton scandal was concluded
in the Court of General Sessions to-day.
Joshua ]. Mann, the lover of Hamilton's wife.
and Mrs. Anna Swinton, his mother. were
raigned to answer indictments for palming off
a $40 bogus baby upon Mr.. Hamilton as his own
child, and for obtaining $500 from him by false
pretenses. To the amazement of every one in
court, the Recorder called the two prisoners to
the bar, and informed them that they were at
liberty TO go on their own reeognizances. This
was practically discharging them. Mann walked
straight out of court. Mrs. Swinton tried to fol-
low him, but sanF to the floor in a dead faint.
half way down the AISLE She was carried out
by court officer, and revived. The reason for
the virtual abandonment of the prosecution is
that the District Attorney could not get Rob
ert Ray Hamilton to appear against the per
sons who duped him. Hamilton is tired of his
notoriety. and more than willing to let the case
drop.

Miss Exile Fowler Kills Herself with a
Rifle on Account of a Love Affair.
Late Tuesday afternoon, at tho res
iicmce OF George Smiib, ten miles
from town on the Rutlcrmiik road,
Miss Exile Fowler committed suicide
with a rifle.
Miss Fowler was about Is years of
age. She made her home al Mr. l..
NJ. lIambys, whose daughter
married Geo. Smith and she was on
visit to Mrs. Smith when the trag-
,edy occurred. Without giving any
warning OF her intentions aud with
out being observed, the girl took a
rifle and went out Into the yard and
deliberately shot herself through the
heart. The family rushed out at the
report of the gun, but when they
reached her she was dead.
The cause assigned is the old story
of being crossed in love. 1t is said
Miss Fowler was engaged to be mar
ried to Radley Handy, son of L.
NJ. Handy and brother Of Mrs.
Smiths. The young mans parents
opposed the match on account Of the
boys youth, as he was but Is years
old. Mrs. Handy had sent the girl
over to her daughters TO get her
away from the boy and afterwards
sent her clothes also. The affair
weighed SO heavily upon the mind
of the girl that she took her own life
to end her troubles.
PULITZER FACTS.
The following additional details
are furnished by our reliable and ac-
curate correspondent at Crofton:
For some time she had been max
Ing her home with Mr.. "Tode" Ham
by, and his son, Radley and she had
been making arrangements 10 marry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Handy learning of their
intentions, raised objections, but af-
ter rejection consented for them TO
marry. Miss Fowler then went over
to stay with Mrs. Smith fsw days.
She called at Mr.. Hamby's Tuesday
morning and ia conversation with
Mrs. Handy, the latter told her that
she objected 10 her sons marrying as
he was too young, but that she had
no objection to her as lady. She
returned to Mr.. Smiths that morn
ing and late IN the afternoon told
Mira Smith she could lie down, that
she would attend to her baby, and
when Mrs. Smith fell asleep she took
the gun and went out in the yard
near QUE of the outihouses, where she
fired tho fatal shot using q tobacco
stick. She was said 10 be a fine
domestic girl and gained tho friend

The Tombstone Epitaph says the
bill requiring foreigners to have
naturalization papers before being
allowed to register, is step in the
direction of election reform. The
law as it formerly stood, allowing
aliens to register on first papers,
was a direct bid for corrupt and
INSCRIPTIONS practices, especially in
towns along the Mexican line.
