lost their power over him.
III he and ] were TO meet now" she
said, "there would be no question as to
our relations. He loves me still and
love him"
Eva has said that she never married
Ray Hamilton for his money, nor from
any OF the motives that have been
attributed 10 her. She married him, she
says, simply and solely because she
loved him. And she also AYERS that he
married her for the same reason. Law
yer Charles w. Fuller, who has been act
ing n counsel for Mrs. Mann, said to-
day that he believed his client still had
the greatest regard for Robert Ray Ham
ilton and his family.
Since she has become notorious Mrs.
Mann has received scores OF curious let
ters. Some OF them are from theatrical
managers, who hold out To her the al
Turing temptation OF the fortune that
can be made III she will consent To appear
In any kind OF play, but she does not
care To make a fortune in that way. Mu-
scum managers have also sent her let
lers by the score, assuring her fabu-
lous salary If she will but consent TO ap-
pear in.their establishments. Mrs. Mann
has not tasen the trouble to reply 10 anf
OF the communications.
Another Man Thinks Hamilton Dead.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Feb. 5.-SamueI
w. Shaw, clerk In Lewis q Co 5 ticket
agency Ia this city, was on hunting ex-
pedition In the western part of Wyoming
last August A rsnchman named Nathan
w. Mott, at whose place Shaw stopped,
made trip 10 Yellowstone park that
month, returning Aug. %. Three lays
later gentleman named Harty. store
keeper at Haines' Forks. on the Union
Pacific, stopped at Motifs ranch on his
way lone from the park, bringing news
of great excitement that existed at sar-
gents when he stopped there Aug. %,
over the reported drowning of Robert
Ray Hamilton, whose body had just been
brought In. Harty saw the body and
stated that preparations were being made
for It's burial.
On hearing Hamilton's name mem
toned Mott recalled the fact that he had
seen a man OF that name at Sargent's
when on his way to the park, and had
also met him on the Snake river when
returning from the park. This was Aug.
30. Hamilton, who was on horseback,
said he had just shot an antelope and In
tended 10 cross the river 10 get "a pack
animal of a settler 10 carry his game
home. The meeting occurred near the
confluence of Buffalo creek and the
Snake river and very near tine spot
where Green reported finding the body.
Mott and Harty compared notes on Ham
ilton's appearance and agreed that the
body seen by Harty must have been that
OF the man whom Mott saw at Sargent's
and afterwards met on the bank of the
Snake river.
Mott had not at the time OF meeting
Hamilton heard anything of the scandal
connected with his name.
