A ]coroner's jury, composed of r. n.
Gibson, D. Evans. &. H. Tracy, George

turned a verdict yesterday over the re-
mains of Robert Hamilton as follows:
I'VE find that the deceased came to

head, the gun at that time being in the
hands of James Santi.'
The inquest was held before Coroner
Hardenbrook DR.. Spelman, who had
attended Robert Hamilton during his
last illness, was the first witness called.
With D. Stephens he had held a post
morton examination. They found a frac-
ture of the skull, the result of a wound
produced bya bullet. The wound was
an absolutely fatal one.
The next and most important witness
was Tillie Carr, the mistress of James
Santi, who did the shooting. She de-
scribed Santi's actions on the
night of the shooting and how he went to
the door of his (Santi's) house and shot
twice or more at some man on the out
side, a few feet away. After the shoot
ing, Santi came in the house, put on his
coat and walke away. That was the
last she saw Of him..
Chief Mentrum described the finding of
Hamilton's body in the alley. He was
not dead. He was being assisted to an
upright position by some men who We're
-, ~
there. He was about 10 or 90 feet from
Santis cabin I. the time. The firemen
icked Hamilton up, put him in the hose
wagon and drove him to the Sisters hos
pital.
Frank 7. Dolan, a cousin of the de-
ceased. testified that it was Hamilton
who had been shot, and it was the same
man who had died at the Sisters hos
pital.
Frank McNally was the last witness
heard. He said it was about 11:3o
O'Clock when he reached the alley in
which the shooting had occurred. It had
taken place about 10 minutes before he
got there. There We're some men stand
ing there then, and they seemed to be
waiting for the arrival of an officer. The
witness was the first person to reach the
place. Hamilton was then lying on the
ground, covered with blood. He was
ahout 10 feet away from the door Of
SAINTS cabin.

The trial of John Searle, which was
commenced in Judge Clancy's court yes
terday as soon as the judge had sem
fenced Robert Sillary to a year in the
penitentiary was finished about 5 o'clock
and an o later a verdict of guilty
was in the hands Of the court.
Both Sillary and Searle were convicted
of having received stolen property, but
We're given separate trials. During the
progress of the proceedings Rev. Black
iston was called upon to testify as to
Searle's good character, but he could say
nothing save the fact that Searle had
sung in the choir of the Episcopal church.
Outside of that he knew nothing about
him.
Like Sillary, the prisoner wanted time
for sentence and the judge let hin down
easy.
