County Attorney Charges Jim Santi
With Assault in the First Degree.
Ss Hamilton's Condition Is
4. Slightly Improved.

4 County Attorney Duffy yesterday aft
.ernoon filed a. complaint in Judge Bo-
lands court against Jim Santi charg-
ing him with assault in the first degree
on the person of Bob Hamilton, who,
Sit is alleged, was shot by Santi on
Saturday night during a drunken row.
Santi will be held on that charge pend
ing the results of Hamilton's inju-
ries.
Hamilton is getting along fairly well,
and yesterday was reported to be
slightly better. He may yet recover.
Yesterday the surgeons of the hos
pital removed his right eye, which had
been burned by the powder This was
done to permit the insertion of a
drainage tube, with which to keep the
wound clear of any foreign offensive
matter which might accumulate
/. Several of Hamiltons friends went to
see him at the hospital on Monday
evening, but they We're not allowed
TO converse with him. as the attending
surgeons state positively that Hamil-
ton is too weak to be subjected to the
eXhausting effort of talking with any
one.
To one of his personal friends who
spoke to him of the shooting, he said
he did not remember anything. He
said he did not know he had been shot
and he was greatly surprised when
he was told of it,
Santi will probably be arraigned in
Judge Boland's court to-day to plead
to the charge filed against him.
