TWO YEARS IN PRISON.
Mrs. Hamilton the Sullivan County
Girl Convicted and Sentenced.

MAYS LANDING, N. D., Sept. 10.
The court did not open this morn
for the continuation of the trial of
Mrs. Eva Hamilton, for the atroc-
ious assault upon the nurse, Mary
Donnelly, until lO:45 O'Clock. The
delay was caused by the detention,
through an accident of another train
of the train, from Atlantic City, up
or which were the judges, attorneys
and others officially connected with
tho case. When the jurors had
taken their seats Judge Reed said:
"Sheriff, bring in the defendant"
The Sheriff stated that the defendant
Mrs. Hamilton, begged ODE excused
from appearing on account ofserious
illness, and the Judge allowed the
case to proceed. Then Captain Per-
ry, counsel for the defence, began
his argument. He said he hoped
the jurors would frame their vet-
dict according to the testimony,
independent of newspaper reports
or other influences.
Prosecutor OF Pleas Thompson
called the case for the prosecution.
He said both Hamilton and his wife
repeatedly contradicted themselves
while on the witness stand, and that
their testimony was tissue of false
hoods from beginning to end, that
Mr.. Hamilton's life would probably
have been taken were it not for the
timely entrance Of Nurse Donnelly,
and that Mrs. Hamilton was fortun>
ate in not being on trial for murder
instead of atrocious assault.
JUDGE REEDS CHARGE.
"Call the jury" was the peremp-
tory request of Judge Reed when he
resumed his seat at the opening of
the afternoon session, and a few
minutes later he began his charge.
"Tbe whole matter hinges Oh the
plea of self-defense," he said, "that
the blow was struck in self-defeuce
but when deadly weapon is used
in self-defence it materially alters
the case" He continued in this
vein, dwelling on the fact that the
knife thrust was deadly one, and
the only way in which the plea of
the defence could possibly be tenable
was that the blow was struck to save
the defendants life; that she was in
imminent danger and had to deal
the deadly blow to save her own
life.

TWO YEARS IN PRISON.

Judge Reed sternly said: sfEvan-
geline Hamilton, stand up" The
woman arose with an effort and
faced the Judge, Counsellor Perry
standing beside her. 'You have
been convicted Of grave charge,
that of atrocious assault upon Mary
Ann Donnelly, the extreme penalty
for which is ten years. But there
are extenuating circumstances in
this cage, and the sentence l am
about to impose should be con-
sidered lenient in case of conviction
for atrocious assault. l sentence
You to two years confinement in the
State prison at Trenton"
Not by movement or look did
the condemned woman betray any
emotion. She stood in a listining
attitude while Counsellor Perry ad.
vised her to bear UP and be of good
cheer. She resumed her seat and
conversed with several reporters
who took advantage of the occasion
to ply her with questions. Mrs.
Hamilton condemned her husbands
apparent desertion aud made sever-
al remarks concerning his relations
ship with the nurse previous to the
affray. She said the sentence was
hard to bear. She looked pale but was
not agitated. She entered the Sheriff's
residence through the front door and
proceeded to her attic prison. which
had been furnished luxuriously by
her infatuated husband when she
was first incarcerated, and before
the full exposure of her past career
and deception praticed upon him
had caused him to leave her to her
fate.
Mrs. Hamilton will be taken to
the State prison next Saturday
morning in company with half
dozen criminals convicted at this
term Of court. She will have to
serve a twenty months term, pro-
viding she gets the usual allowance
OF two months per annum for good
behavior. 1t is said Mrs. Hamilton
repeatedly solicited an interview
with her husband while he was here
in order to explain some personal
matters, but he declined to 90 near
her.

THE CLOSING SCENE.

The closing scenes were exceed
ingly drimatic and when word was
sent to Evangeline Hamilton that
the jury were out deliherating wheth-
er she was guilty or not, she excited
ly paced the attic prison, and frequ.
emily looked out of her window up
on the Court House where the Jury
we're balloting.
1t was precisely 8 o'clock when
the jury announced that they had
arrived at verdict and filed into
their respective seats. The Court
room was crowded and the specta-
tors whispered audibly, commenting
upon the probable verdict, until
called to order by the Court. Ais
minutes past three Sheriff Johnson
led in the defendant. Mrs. Hamil-
ton looked pale and fatigued. but
walked with a firm demeanor
through the narrow aisles and paid
no attention to the scrutinizing gaze
of the crowd, on both sides of her.
When brought within the railing she
sank wearily into a chair directly
facing the jury. She nerviously
twisted her fingers, her hands being
covered with pearl colored gloves.
A VERDICT OF GUILTY.
The Clerk of the Court called the
jury and inquired; "Gentlemen
have you agreed upon verdict" to
which Foreman Reeves responded
in stentorian tones: eve have"
BY this time the court room had
become silent, and when the fore
man answered, "We find the de-
fendant guilty as charged in the
indictment, Mrs. Hamilton gave
perceptible start and lifted her head
for the first time, turning towards
her counsel with an appealing glance
aud then towards the members of
the jury, who looked her in the face.
Then her head sank upon her breast

The Pierre Journal makes a good
point and drives nail. There have
been too many political pits, which is
the cause of our heavy Indebtedness.
II the same economy were practiced by
persons holding official positions as
business men exercise in the manage
ment of their own business, thousands
of dollars could be saved to the state
annually. The Journal says:
THE Lieutenant Governor recon-
mends retrenchment in the matter Of
the public printing. The state can Sc
cure the necessary printing ut a reason
able cost, but the present system is un-
necessarily expensive. For instance,
the governors proclamation comes to
us in full cap size with waste of one
half the paper used. A neat letter
circular would answer every purpose.
What South Dakota wants is state
printer who knows his business, then
political pets in the printing business
will get what the work is worth and no
| more.

The State Finances.

Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher, in a recent in
terview with a Sioux City Journal cor
respondent, gave some facts concern-
ing the financial past Of Dakota and
some conclusions as to the future that
are worthy serious consideration.
There is certainly enough to make a
careful man stop and think. There is
no immediate danger of bankruptcy
but to avoid such possible contin-
gency in the future it will be we'll to
consider now that possible future con-
summation. Let South Dakota at once
commence to live within her means.
II intrenchment must come to do this,
let it come. South Dakota is now
$685., 600 deeper into debt than the
maximum limit the constitution allows.
Let halt be called for at least one
| year, until the new state gets fairly on
her feet. This is what the Lieut.. Gov
ernor says:
"Probably the most serious problem
tllat confronts our young state is its
Indebtedness. The utmost parslmony
and economy must be exercised. Ex-
penses must be cut down and positive
niggardliness must be applied to the
running expenses of the new state. We
inherit an Indebtedness of 1926, 600
from the division Of the territory, have
to pay interest on this and $710,2 200 of
bonds given for the erection of public
institutions. 1t will cost-that is, it
did cost 1924 900 to run South Dakota S
public institutions for one year. In
addition to this there is general ex-
penses, $108,0O0; interest on bonds,
$35, 900; cost of running the legisla-
ture, 100000; and salaries, including
mileage, per diem, clerk hire, etc,
$25,OW. These various items. when
added up, make a grand total of
s6l7, 900.
\ Now as to resources. The total as
sessment is 398,0O0OO0. For the first
year Of statehood the territorial limit
Of three mills may apply, and thereaf-
| ter only two mills can be levied. BY
levying a three-mill tax on the $685.
O00, 900 assessment, the state would OBJ
tain the paltry sum of $294, 600 to meet
an expense of $4,000. 1t is evident
that the public institutions will have to
suffer. Besides the direct tax it is esti-
mated that the state will derive fully
$40, 900 from the gross earnings of the
law, telegraph, telephone and corpora
ton tax. The constitution permits an
indebtedness of 100000 besides the
inherited Indebtedness. BY the ex-
penses enumerated it is evident that
with a revenue of 1884 900, there
would remain deficit Of $283000
$1S3OOO more than the constitution
allows. Tho question is what can we
do with this deficit? Something can be
saved from the miscellaneous expenses
and something from the Legislative ex.
penses il the legislature will attend
strictly to business. Still it is evident
that the great saving must he made
from the 1924 900 which the last lcgis.
lature appropriated for South Dakota
institutions for the year 1880. There
is where the pruning knife must DC
mercilessly applied. 1t seems inevi-
table that some of the public institu-
tions will have TO be closed. The con-
stitution must be ob-erved and the
governor will sign no appropriation
bill which will exceed the limit of that
instrument.

About the first law the legislature
OF South Dakota should enact is one re-
qui-ing employers to pay employed
cash every week. The practice that
many large companies have Of paying

advantage of the laborer, limiting his

ity that's far removed from the n;atur-
al birthrlght of American citizenship
The man that gets by honest toll the
bread and clothes for himself and FAM
lily is just as much entitled to the priv.
ilege Of American citizenship as the
millionaire. Among these privileges
is that Of spending his money where he
will. 1t is all nonsense to hold that a
man with a family can or cannot accept
pay for his labor upon terms fixed by
his employer quit. The wish to quit
may be never so strong, vet the vision

ever calling it may be and however
muchhe may sacrifice his independence
by SO doing. The power and stability
of this republic depends wholly upon
the independence Of the masses of the
voters. And that spirit of independ.
ence and individual thinking and indie.
pendent action must be cultivated and
fosterd, else this government will be-
come an aristocracy instead Of repub.
lie and that soon. Let tho new state OF
South Dakota take forward steps in this
matter. Massachusetts has such a Law
and it works we'll. Go into some of the
mining and manufacturing districts
and what do you find? The company
not only furnishes labor but furnishes
a company store, at which employed
are expected to trade, in fact orders for
merchandise are given on that store.
The company also furnishes wood, coal
boarding houses, houses to rent to men
of families, and even has a barber shop
upon which checks for so many shaves
are given,and when pay day comes the
laborer finds that he has a few
cents or nothing coming to him IN cash
He must pay company prices for every
thing. Sure he can quit work, but
where can he go? Shame on such a
practice that reduces man to a mere
slave-a mere machine without thought
save to do his masters bidding and moi
overdraw his account. Let Dakota
stamp out such proceedings within hel
borders. Let such be the policy which
enforced, will lift rather than degrad,
the laberer. There is great how
about trusts and combinations, Wher
is there one more inimical to publ
good than such an Infamous scheme
