OF A BIG SPREE
Looks Like 1t Might Be at Least
Five Years in the Pen
for Hamilton
BESIDES THE FOUL MURDER OF DAY
Verdict in the Case of a Minneapolis
Tragedy-Merry Party and
Prophetic Toast.

Minneapolis, Feb. 81. - Frank III.
Hamilton was declared guilty of man
slaughter yesterday by n jury which
had deliberated forty hours over the
testimony ceEGerning the murder of
Leonard Day in the billiard room of
the Hotel West Nov. -. The verdict
came like a lightning shock to Ham-'
ilton and his friends. The prisoner
was dazed with speechlessness when
the foreman announced the finding,
and his lips moved silently in mute
protest as he looked despairingly at
his attorneys The severity of the de-
cision is tempered somewhat by
recommendation for court clemency.
The penalty for manslaughter is pun
ishment for not more than twenty or
fewer than five years. After two days
and nights of apparently futile dis
cussion the twelve men arrived at a
unanimous decision at 9:15 a. m. yes
terday, and so informed the court.
Lawyers Move for New Trial.

and became seated there was q ST.

Story of the Tragic Event-SCene in =
Wine Room.
As Day shook Hamilton's hand he
accused him of making disparaging
remark about him day to Miss Caro-
line Slagle, daughter of well-known
surgeon. In moment the men
clinched. They were separated. but
resumed the quarrel again with a
struggling crowd around them. Sud-
denly Day fell TO the floor mortalIy
stabbed. He died in five minutes. and
Hamilton and W. @. Bennett, a Chi
cago travelling man. kneeled on the
floor at the side of the corpse and
prayed. The knife found beside Days
body was proved not to be Hamil-
toms property. and evidence was in
troduced tending to show that it be-
longed to Day.
1t was contended by the defense that
Day was killed by a random stab in
the struggle, and it was intimated. too
that one of the society men by whom
he was accompanied had killed him to
satisfy a grudge. As nearly every
one in the billiard room had been
drinking heavily, there was difficulty
in getting clear testimony about the
tragedy.
Miss Slagle was to have been u wit
ness, but was excused from giving tes-
timony, on the plea that it would in
criminate her. Other names mentioned
in connection with the case were those
of Miss Grace Townsend, a relative of
the PillsbnryS. and Miss Beryl Good
ing. daughter of the late w. r. Good
ing, who committed suicide in Npokane
two years ago. These young women.
i'll company with Day and another
man, were in the wine room of a noted
cafe i'm the cisy Saturday night a few
hours prior to the killing of Day, and
were toasting each other in compli.
mentary phrases.
Suddenly Miss Townsend jumped to
her feet. glass of wine in hand, and
said: Lets eat. drink and be merry,
for tomorrow we may die
You are wrong, Grace" spoke up
Miss Gooding, you should say. Lets
drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
die.
You are both wrong. girls" then
spoke Day, as he smiled at the young
women. This is the toast''-and he
arose and touched his glass to the
glasses of the women: Lets eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
do die"
In a short time the young women
were put into 4 carriage and sent
home. and Day and his friend went to
the West hotel, where the quarrel fol-
lowed

Depew Presents Them Between Europe
and This Country.
Washington, Feb. 81. = The senate
spent yesterday on the postoffice APP
preparation bill. making some progress,
but not completing it. The amend
ment of Butler of North Carolina pro-
posing reduction of about per cent.
in the pay for railway postal service
was defeated. IS TO 81, after a debate
in which Depew replied to Buffers
criticisms ON the large profits made by
American roads. In the course of his
remarks Butler declared that 40 per
cent. of the cost of carrying the mail
was on account of the heavy mail bags,
and that the railways used their infiu-
encc to have the bags made much
heavier than necessary.
Butler contrasted the cost of rail
way mail pay in Europe and in this
country TO the disadvantage of the
United states. Depew interrupted to
say that the wages paid by European
continental railroads was only about
one-fourth the rate of railway wages
i'm this country, while the freight rates
in this country were only a little more
than one-fourth of what they were in
Europe.

YOU will find that the profits of the

Wolcott said. as to European rail
roads carrying the mails free, that in
Great Britain the cost of railroad mail
transportation was little less. if any,
than it is here. In continental Europe

FEATURE IN THE HOUSE
Lentz Twice Brings Down on
Himself the Wrath of the
Republicans.
ACCUSES THE ARMY OF sAvAGERY
Senate Given Information by Depew
and WoIcott Relative to Rail-
way Mail Carrying.

| Washington, Feb. 21.-The house
| finally passed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill yesterday and entered
| upon consideration of the general de-
| ficiency-the last of the general appro-
| priation bills. Ientz, an Ohio Demo-
| crat who in this and the previous con-
gress has violently attacked the admin
| istration, furnished the sensation OF
the day. He used a newspaper para
graph recounting the death of n fed
eral Judge in New Mexico who had
been a member of the legislature which
elected Senator Hanna as a text for
charging corruption in that election.
This called forth rebuke from Can
non who declared that brave men
fought the living. and only ghouls raw
ished the tombs of the dead. Grosye-
nor attempted 10 reply, and the two
Ohioans were anxious for the fray,
but Cannon would not permit it. He
thought that if dirty linen" was to be
washed the gentlemen should hire n
hall.
Le1tz Returns to the Charge
Later Lentz made second onslaught
of a more sensational character and
brought down upon himself the whole
Republican side of the house. In some
remarks about a paragraph in the bill
for payments for the apprehension of
deSerters Lentz made the startling
charge that our soldiers in the Philip
pines had buried a native alive and
had then beheaded him. and he read
a letter written. he Said. by sol
der in the Philippines. saying that he
and his companions while on an eXpe-
dtion were ordered to shoot every man
and beast they found. Lentz said that
fp,t hn
were justified in deserving.
Got into Very Hot Water.
Cannon, Mahon of Pennsylvania,
Grosvenor, and Moody of Massachu-
sets. amid warm applause. strongly
rebuked LentZ Cannon declared that
were Lentz in the Philippines he would
be tried by court martial and shot,
Mahon said Lent remarks We're re-
vamps of the .'copperhead' speeches of
forty years ago. and Moody read the
words of Lincoln that the man who
encourage a soldier to desert is worse
than the deserter. Sherman offered an
amendment designed to prohibit haZ-
ing at the naval academy on penalty
of dismissal. This amendment was
pending on point of order when the
house adjourned.
Allen Makes Them Laugh Again.
The proceedings were enlivened by
humorous speech made by Allen of
