ham Lincoln and Congressman Charles
B. Lands, of Indiana, responded to the
toast, THE Republic of Today
''Log-Cabin Days" was the toast to
which Franklin Murphy responded. and
Congressman Richard Wayne Parker re-
sponded to New Jersey Republicans"
Postmaster General Smith said that for
100 years 1t had been customary to look
back upon the days of the Revolution as
the heroic age of this county, but In the
coming centuries, when the events of
forty years ago could be looked upon in
their proper light, the days of the mill
tary struggle to preserve the Union and .
freedom would be looked back to as the
time of American endeavor and sacr-
fee. In those days Abraham Lincoln
would be set up as the greatest Ameri-
can pure type, standing beside WASH
ington as an ideal. Lincoln was born for
a great crisis. The overruling han1 of
God and not the wisdom OF man had
placed Abe Lincoln at the head of the
nation at the hour when he was needed
The speaker said the place Of Lincoln
among the elect was fixed, and he would
be recognized as the best loved of Amer
icans- He was an American of Ameri-
cans He was the man who came close
to the great throbbng life of the people.
He was an ideal man. God sent hin1eto a
nation and her peaple in their hour of (
trouble.

the Minneapolis Tribune who testified
that Hamilton, shortly after the tragedy,
had admitted to him that 'It is all off
with me now. I'm up against it."
GARY AND REUL RECALLED.
The early portion of the morning sitting
was consumed with the further evidence
of Gary and Reul. The former swore
that he had never seen the large knife
with which Day was stabbed.
Ernest Reul, clerk of the West hotel,
testified that he heard Day say:
You're the man I am looking for and
did you make a certain remark" or
words to that effect. Mr. Reul did not
hear very distinctly and heard no reply
from Hamilton at all.
Did you see the fight or any part of
the fight between Day and Hamilton?'
Il saw them take hold of each other,
and they went down probably far as
their knees. Mr. George took hold of
them and said that they must stop their
quarreling, there must be no disturbance
there. I remember hearing Day say L
can't do justice to you in the condition
you are in. Some other time I will give
you all the satisfaction you want
rs that all you heard?'

Tribune on the night of the tragedy, re-
lated his visit to the West hotel shortly

The witness claimed to be a personal
friend of Hamilton; had visited him in
Jail, and in measure had profered his
services. On the morning of the tragedy
he shook hands with Hamilton and told
him that it looked like a bad thing, but
he should cheer up
Il asked him if he did this" said Hill.
He said, I don't know whether | did
1t or not. He said something about il
being all off or he was up against it,
or something like that.
'I asked him: is that your knife they
found out there?'
No he said.
g Have you a knife?'
Yes, here it is, producing 2 small

Mr.. Hill did not advise Hamilton not to
say anything.
Charles R. Francis, city editor of the
Times, advised Mr.. Hamilton not to say

~ menccs Today.

The state played its trump cards in the
Hamilton trial yesterday, and the hear
ing abounded with incidents of the most
sensational and dramatic nature Thomas
]. Rooney, an eX-policeman, related the
story of Hamilton's alleged confession to
him in a most explicit and circumstantial
manner. He was evidently carefully
drilled beforehand, and the searching
ross-examinatiOn to which he was sub
Jected by Mr.. Penney failed to disconcert
or cause him to alter his story in the
slightest particular. / was a thrilling
recital, this story of the confession, and
during its narration both court, counsel
and spectators were held spell-bound.
Hamilton himself seemed the least moved
by it of any one in the court room, and
did not betray by any outward sign the
effect the terrible story was exerting
upon him.
Another sensational incident was
the evidence of r. c. Hill, a reporter of
