April 1894
WARDEN BOWS THEORY.

Warden Dow expresses the belief that
Hamilton was carried out of the prison
in the cinder box. 1t is the practice to
convey the cinders outside the walls in
large box every morning about
O'Clock. This box is carried out by two
convicts, and as Hamilton is a small
man, weighing but 120 pounds, he could
have been easily secreted in the box,
covered up with cinders and carried out
by the two men. The men who carried
out the box yesterday deny any knowl-
edge of the escape, but if Hamilton
gained his escape by this means it
could have only happened with their
connivance.
THE SEARCH.
A thorough search of the adjacent
country was made and tracks. sup
posed to have been made by Hamilton,
were found at Sugar House, leading to-
wards the city. 1t is not believed that
he will be able to elude the officers, es-
pecially as Warden Dow will offer re-
ward of $50 for his capture. This is
his description: Age q. weight 12O
height 5 feet 2A inches. fair COM
plexion, dark hazel eyes, dark brown
hair, small mole on upper lip near left
side, small feet and hands.
HAMILTON's CRIME.
Not over "a hours after Hamiton's
release from custody in Salt Lake,
where he had served a sentence for
housebreaking. he committed depre-
dation in Ogden, and in attempting to
escape arrest shot and seriously
wounded Patrolman Miner of that city.
This was in January, 1894. Hamilton,
accompanied by another Jail bird, left
Salt Lake Immediately after serving his
sentence and stole a ride over the
Union Pacific to ogden. He was at
that time without money and put to
extreme measures to reach the east
whittier he intended to drift.
With the idea OF making a haul to
defray expenses of the trip. he re-
solved to tap a crib" in Ogden. The
house of some woman who was known
to be possessed of considerable money
was visited on the night of his arrival.
Entrance was gained without arousing
any OF the occupants, but while pre-
pairing to leave with a lot of valuables,
the woman awoke and was confronted
by Hamilton and his pal. whose name
is not recalled by the police. In the
parlance of crooks, they stuck her up"
or, in other words. leveled a gun in her
face. Her screams aroused a son, who
started down the stairs. He was fired
at by the burglars before they started
to run. Patrolman Miner heard the
shots and started to chase the thieves,
when Hamilton sent a bullet in the,
direction of the pursuing officer. The
ball entered MINERS foot and stopped
his chase. Meanwhile Patrolman Sulli-
van of the Ogden force came up and
continued the pursuit, finally overhaul
ing Hamilton. who was sentenced for
burglary and attempt to kill an officer
His record at the police headquarters
in this city is of the most unsavory
character.
