LAST DAY OF TRIAL.
Argument in Hamilton Murder
Case in Progress.

Minneapolis Mimi. Feb. 1S.-The last
day of the trial OF Frank H Hamilton
on the charge of having murdered Leon
ard r. Day caused the court room to be
filed to it's utmost capacity. The de-
Tense announced that it had no testl-
nlony to offer in rebuttal, and County
Attorney Fred Fl. B0ardman at once
began his address to the jury. After inn
pressing on the jury the Importance and
responsibility of its position he declared
that it was just as certain that Hamfi-
ton killed Day as It was certain that
Day was dead. The state had shown the
motive for the crime and the confess
sion of the accused Of his guilt. and yet
with the ablest counsel in the state he
now came into court and asked for ac-
Quittal, when IN savage jealousy he had
stabbed to death. This was nonstrous,
but no more f1onstrous than that this
jury should be asked to stab society on
Hamiltons account Mr.. Penney OF the
defense had gone out of his way to ira
duce the character of the victim and to
hold the defendant up as a gentleman Of
education. But the court room is a
place for justice. not for sympathy. The
man who killed Leonard Day was nee
essarily one of the eleven men in that
billiard room of the West hotel on that
fatal morning. Day did not kill him.
self. George was the man who came
between Day and Hamilton and was
cut in the hand. The EvanS-F'Orce al
tercation distracted attention, and it
was not strange that in that dim, ghast-
Force could not help the murderer.
Never was he near Day.
Gary, Mamiiton's friend, reluctantly
admitted that Hamilton was the aggres-
sor in the second contest. Evidence in
troduced by the defense to show that
Evans had sent cut trousers to be fixed
after the affair was merely intended to
confuse and divert the jury. 1t had no
bearing in the case. Bennett and Barbe,
the travelling men, were drunk, and all
the evidence showed that neither could
have had anything to do with the killing
of Day. Ferris was at his desk when
George separated the combatants in
their fatal encounter. O'Mallory was
busy putting Evans out. When he got
back, Day lay dying on the floor. Can
field says he did not even see the second
fight. He was not near Day and did not
kill him. Reul, the clerk and another
travelling man named Lester left before
the second fight. Who else could have
killed Day but Hamilton2 He was the
only man who had any trouble or fight
with Day that night. only when the
deed was committed, Hamilton's better
nature asserted itself and he sat there
gloomy and despairing. Before his en-
ployer and his attorney had come and
advised him to hold his tongue, he con
fessed his crime. No one could impeach
the evidence of Officer Thomas Rooney
in that respect. 1t was unshakable be-
cause it was true.

Alabama Senator Takes a Fall Out of
the Subsidy Bill

Washington, Feb. 18.-OnIy a few sena-
tors being in the chamber when the sem
ate convened today. Mr.. Pettigrew sug-
gested the absence of a quorum. Forty.
five senators, a quorum, responded.
In pursuance of previous notice Mr.
Pettus (Ala-) then addressed the senate in
opposition to the ship subsidy bill.
Referring to Former Senator Edmunds.
reputed to be the author of the original
subsidy bill, Mr.. Pettus said that the dis
tinguished Vermonter had demonstrated
his ability to cipher around the truth. y
He thought the provisions of the meas
ure justified him In saying that Mr.. Ed
munds. as a senator of the United States,
could never have written this bill
Mr.. Pettus urged that the bill ought not
to be passed, not only because of the mil
lions it would draw from the treasury,
but also because of the principles involv
ed. He made a constitutional argument
against the measure.
