Tho coiorsd Prsaohsr's Crime.


NEW YokK. April The crime for
which the colored preacher, James L.
Hamilton, was executed at Sing Sing
to-day was the cutting of his wife's
throat at Winfield, L. Sunday night,
May 2, 1892. Three years ago Hamilton
was obliged to marry Annie Brooks, a
pretty eolOred woman whom he betrayed
and who was in the employ Of Druggist
John Hepburn, of Flushing.
They did not live together and the
husband had tried TO obtain a divorce
without success. He had expressed his
determination to get rid Of her. One
morning her body was found in pond
with her throat cut from ear to ear
Hamilton was at once arrested on sus-
bici0n. 1t was proved that he had de-
coyed her from her home in Flushing to
look at a house in that town that he
proposed TO buy for home.
She told her employer on the evening
mentioned that she was going to Eneet
her husband Both of them took the
g o'clock train to Winfield, and Mrs.
Hamilton was seen TO leave the train
with a man identified as Hamilton. A
broken cane, razor and a cuff button,
which proved to be the property Of Ham
ilton, were found on the banks of the
pond, and Hamilton made two different
explanations of how the cane came to bs
there.
A feature of the case was that no blood
stains were found on the clothing OF
either of them, which was accounted foI
by the assumption that the throat was
cut while both were in the water Evi
dence was produced that Hamilton had
been meditating the crime for some time
