WHAT LIE GALLINNNH THINKS.
Richard LIE Gallienns says IN the New
York Journal: 25ss
Frank Hamilton, the prisoner at the
lar, is not guilty Of the crime with which
he is charged would swear to this as
I believe it myself. cannot make my
self believe there was ever any guilt in
his mind From what I can learn, and I
have studied him closely sitting in court
watching the progress Of the case, Ham
ilton Is a splendid fellow, man among
men. like his face, his eyes. his de-
meanor.
He may have made mistakes, but new
er In his life has he Intentionally killed a
fellow being or harmed living thing
Since I have watched the progress of
this case it has come upon me to go to
the prisoner, put my hands on his should
ers and tell him 1 believe him innocent
do not know why did not do It. But
then, why should I? It is hard to express
exactly what I think of American courts
and American methods. have always
lived in a country where things are done
differently from what you do them here.
What impressed me the most was the
inforInality Of the proceedings. There
was no pomp no. wigs, you know; no
robes and all that, such as he, have in the
English courts. I could not refrain from
thinking Of 1.-The Lady and the Cowboy
which saw when Nat Goodwin was in
London. really expected to at any mo-
| ment see the presiding judge In this case
pull a cigar from his pocket, light It,
place his feet on the desk in front of
him and order the attorney to proceed.
With US there is more solemnity and.
I think, more dignity about a trial of
this kind. The judgefapa the barristers
the attorneys you call them here-are

PARSONS as against your courts.
It has all seemed $50 strange to me.

was-whether the yosTng9 man sitting at

oner or whether he was simply an in
terested spectator. &C
It is entirely different in our country,
and, to be frank with you, 1 think our
way is the best It strikes me there Is not
the solemnity thrown about the case Of
a man being tried for his life that there
should be, but must confess there Is a
businesslke air to the trial that Is at
once interesting and impressive.
