The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-02-08

important Since the tragedy her name
has been repeat edly mentioned, and by
some 1t is believed that the fatal quarrel
arose over jealousy between the young
men over attentions which both were
paying to her.
Yesterday Miss SagIe was questioned
as TO the probable nature of her ev.-
denee, and is reported to have answered
in the following words:
The newspapers have bothered me in
cessantly since this trouble Reporters
from Cleveland, Chicago, Omaha, Kan
sas City, st. Louis and 1 know not where
else, have prosecuted me for Interviews
and photographs. One was here the
other day and called through the door
that If L did not give him a picture he
would trust to his imagination and make
one of me and label It The Woman in
the Case
7 protest that I do not deserve this
notor1ety. If the press must have a state
ment here it is:
MISS SLAGLE'S STATEMENT.
Miss slagle then dictated the following
statement:
Il was a friend of both of the boys.
L did repeat remark which Hamilton
made to Day. L carried Hamilton's re-
mark to Day because Hamilton request
ed me TO do SO.
There was no cause for jealousy
Neither of the boys was in love with me-
/ never fiattered myself for a moment
that such was the case. Neither of them
was engaged to- me. Each one knew
that the other came to see me- kept
company with both of them, and thew
both knew it
From the above statement it will be-
seer that Miss Slagfe does not deny that
she repeated to Day a statement made
by Hamilton concerning and, presume
ably, derogatory to him.
This threat was of a peculiar nature
1t was hypothetical threat made by
Hamilton under a misapprehension and
was uttered some weeks before the trag-
edy occurred. The threat was based upon
the supposition that certain stories about
Day were true, and that, being true, they
might injure Hamilton At least a month
before the tragedy Hamilton, 1t is said
became aware that he had been labor
ing under an erroneous impression re-
gardlng Day, in so far as his motive for
making the threat is concerned.
The threat was in one of the following;
Iorfns; If Day -------- I will do him
up" Or, eff Day --- will get
even"
Long before the tragedy Hamilton had
ceased paying Miss stagle attentions.
TOLD IT TO AL ROBINSON.
Shortly after the tragedy, AL Robinson,
sLennie' Days uncle, well known man
about-town. met Miss Slagle and had a
long talk with her. To him she told the
whole story, as she was distracted with
grief and horror over the affair The
unfortunate threat made by Hamilton
was told to Robinson who lost no time
in recording the Woman's statements
Then he got Inspector James Howard to
go with him to Miss Slagle and induced
her to repeat the story of the threat
Miss Slag1e was taken at a disadvantage,
but believing Robinson to be a friend
she told what Hamilton had said was his
motive for saying 1T. She told both How
ard and Robinson at the time that there
was never any reason for Hamiltons
making the threat, that the Of" on
which the threat hinged. was absurd.
and that no one knew it better than Ham
ilton.
Three additional jurors were Sc
cured yesterday. They are Everett w.
Roberts, contractor; William H Glib
son, real estate dealer, and H P. Nc
Cart, farmer from Independence.
