MRS. HAMILTON IN JAIL.
Critical Condition OF the Servant
Girl who Was Stabbed.

Girl Who Was Stabbed
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 27.-Ths
hearing WAS held here to-day in the casa
of Mrs. Evsngeline Hamilton, wife of
Robert Ray Hamilton, OF New York, who
Ia charged with having stabbed Mary
Ann Donnelly, domestic III her employ.
Justice Irving conducted the exsmina-
ton. The prisoner when brought IN
showed signs of great mental distress,
and all during the proceedings sat with
her head bowed on the rail in front Of
her. Robert BAY Hamilton, her hus-
band, testified to the discharge of the
servant previous TO the cutting, and
hesitatingly admitted that the knife
used was in the hands Of his wife at the
time. Witness gave his age as rs, but
was not questioned as to family relation
ship.
The proprietress Of the 'tNoll" cottage
ON Tennessee avenue, where the stabbing
took place, was the next witness. Her
name is Mrs. Elizabeth Rupp, and her
testimony was merely that she was the
lRndlady of the cottage, and that she
| identified the prisoner and her husband
as former boarders of hers. When held
by the court in 5000 bail as witness,
Mrs. Rupp began sobbing, and stated
| tnht b1t GOulu pEUcuEo thp bhil, huu
besides she had three children to support.
The Justice then detailed an officer to
watch her constantly until court shall
convene on September 10Th. Police
| Sergeant Loder stated that Just before
placing Mrs. Hamilton In cell yesterday
| he asked her il she had committed the
deed, and she admitted it, saying sine had
used white. handled dirk knife, and
that in her excitement she had thrown it
on the bed or in the closet, she did not
know which. The weapon was after.
wards found in the closet.
This concluded the testimony, and
Judge Irving remRnded the accnsed to
prison at Mays Landing, without bail, 10
await the injuries of Nurse Donnsliy.
She was taken to Jail this afternoon.
Robert Ray Hamilton was held in $500
bail, which he endeavored to secure
under surveillance Of detective. The
high standing Of HAMILTON has made the
affair one OF great importance, and in.
tense excitement has been caused. The
attempts of some to prove shat tbs man
is not Robert Ray Hamilton, the de-
scendant OF Alexander Hamilton, have
proved futile. Justice Irving has proof
of his identity which cannot be denied.
The injured woman still lies at deaths
door.

Great Crowds Swarm About the

fsreat Crowds Swarm About the
Cook County Court House.
CHtcAoo, Aug. 26.-Probably no case
in the annals of criminal history in Cook
county has attracted more widespread at
tention than tho Oronin murder and the
deep mystery in which It has been en-
surrounded. That this interest has in no
way abated since the disappearance OF
the unfortunate doctor on May 4th, was
demonstrated by the multitude that
clamored for admittanoe at the portal Of
Judge McOonnell's room OF ~ O'Clock
this morning. The united circumstances
of two bailiffs were necessary to keep
the mob at bay at the foot Of the stairs,
aud ever and anon some unterrified tndi-
yidual made it necessary for the officers
TO resort to personal force.
Promptly at 10 O'Clock there WAS a
slight rustic at the door of the judges
private entrance and the crowd tiptoed In
expectancy as the deputy sheriff entered
the room and cleared the way for appear
ance OF the prisoners, who were to an
syer the grave charge of wantonly muir
derine, human being. A moment later
the door was thrown open and Burke,
Woodruff, Cougblin. Beggs, OSullivan
and Kunz entered and took their seats
facing the oourt in the order named.
"What is the business before the court
this morning ?" inquired Judge Mcoon-
nell.
"If the court please" said States At
torney Longnecker, advancing to the
front, 81 have received notice from three
| OF the defensnts In the Oronin case say
ing that they would apply for o separate
trial on the opening of the court this
morning. Their application. presume,
ia on file."
"It your honor please" said Attorney
general Donahoe, II desire before an
argument for separate trial to present .
motionlon behalf OF my client John Kunz."
Mr.. Donahoe then read motion ask
| ing the court for an order on the states
attorney to compel the latter to furnish
Kunz with q copy Of the minutes or
memoranda of the testimony taken before
the grand Jury which found the indict.
/ ments against Kunz or Of any testimony

sci OF Kunz to examine the testimony Of
such witnesses before the grand jury
where evidence in any way tended to
prove the completely OF Kunz in the
Cronin murder,
The motion also asked that the state'l
attorney furnish the names Of the wit
nesses whose testimony tended to the in
dictment of Kunz. Mr.. Donahoe theI
read long affidavit Of his client, il
which Kunz reclted that he never knew
