try, arrested Fernando Russian, gen.
eral agent of the Tabacaleria com

Trial Filed by HamiIton's Coun-
sci,

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 2l.-The
jury in the case of the state of Min
nesota against Frank II. Hamilton,
charged with numbering Leonard h.
Day, after 40 hours elaboration, fur
nished a genuine surprise by coming
into court few minutes before ten
o'clock and reporting that it had
agreed upon verdict of manslaughter
in the first degree, with a recommen-
dation to the mercy Of the court. The
jury mad been out SO long that hope
OF agreement had about been given
up, The jury informed the deputies
at 9:l5 that it had agreed, but it took
half an hour to arrange the prelim-
inaries. Hamilton was brought into
court to hear the Nerict. He had en-
joyed good nights sleep and seemed
in excellent spirits. When the verdict
was read Hamilton appeared dazed,
and made no other sign than to shake
his head in mute protest.
He was remanded to Jail to await
sentence, and absolutely refused to
see any one except his devoted friend,
Miss Johnson, of Colorado Springs.
His attorneys al once moved for q
new trinl, but no date was set for
hearing the arguments. When the pris-
oner reached the Jail he said to Tailor
Alexander with despairing gesture:
"They've found me guilty, captain
but | do not deserve it,"
The penalty for the crime of which
he is convicted is Imprisonment from
five to twenty years.

TIE CARNEGIE-MORCAN DEAL.
II IL Not Yet Closed, But Confidence
10 Expressed that II Will
ke Shortly.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 21.-The latest
report in Pittsburgh on the Carnegie
Morgan deal is that while representa-
tives of all the Moore companies the
Carnegie company, the Federal Steel,
American Steel and Wire, National
Tube and American Bridge Co., have
participated in the negotiations, not
single interest has yet signed final
papers. Confidence is expressed, how
ever, in the deal ultimately going
through, and this is reflected in the
strengthening of the steel market,
lots of billets having sold this week
at premiums as high as So on the pool
price of $1o.75. The best information
obtainable here attributes the delay
in closing the deal to the independent
attitude of the Moore combine. 1t is
said the controlling factors in these
interests are not satisfied with the
proposition made for the transfer of
this stock TO the new company.

When the bank opened, at nine
o'clock there was line Of depositors
waiting to get their money. Two po'

an absence of the exciting scenes Of
Tuesday afternoon and the depositors
seeking to withdraw their funds were
paid as promptly as the tellers could
wait on them, and the bank officials
expressed confidence in their ability
to meet all demands.
Business men generally believe the
institution has ample funds to pay
