YOUNG GIRL
FOUND DYING.
Chicago Physician Attempted
Suicide Was Arrested When
Revived Poison Suspected.

CHICAGO, Oct. - DR.. Oliver b.
Hart, a young physician residing in
The suburb of Rogers Park, is in the
custody of the police pending further
investigation of the death of Irene Klo-
kow, ten years old, which occurred in
the residence of the physician. 1t is
said by the police that Il charge of muir
der will be lodged against DR.. Hart.
1t is the opinion of the authorities,
based ON the facts disclosed at the in.
quest, that the girl was maltreated
and then poisoned in an attempt to
it was impossible for the child to re-
cover the physician swallowed NOR
phine and lay in an unconscious con-
dition all night, and after he had par
TALLY recovered he was brought to the
city and locked up in the East Chica-
go avenue police station.
The girl was taken about a year ago
from the Illinois Industrial Home For
Girls by DR.. Hart and his wife, who
desired q girl who could serve in a
measure as companion for Mrs. Hart,
who is but seventeen years of age, and
the house. While two sisters of Irene
Klokow called at the Hart residence
and in company with Mrs. Hart went
OH a shopping expedition to the city
Irene, complaining of a headache, was
left alone in the house with the ply
sician.
What happened in the house is not
known, but the first intimation that
anything was wrong was a telephone
message sent by DR.. Hart to a neigh
Dor, Mrs. Richard Cortis. DIR. Hart
told the woman to summon help at
once, as he was dying. Mrs. Cortis
sent word to a physician and then ran
to the Hart residence. She let her lit
tie daughter climb through a cellar
window and unbolt the front door.
After entering she called TO DR.. Hart,
and he shouted from the floor above:
"Here l am. You will have to break
through another door," Mrs. Cortis
threw her weight against the bedroom
door and broke it open.
The Klokow girl was lying on the
bed partially dressed, her hair disar.
ranged and much of it torn from her
head and the room showing evidences
of a desperate struggle. The girl was
unconscious and evidently dying, and
DR.. Hart informed Mrs. Cortis that
she had swallowed morphine pills after
he had given her some medicine. Just
at this instant Mrs! Hart returned
from her shopping expedition, and the
physician summoned by Mrs. Cortis ar
rived.
DR.. Hart repeated to them the story
he had told to Mrs. Cortis, and when
the physician, DR.. Hulstron, went to
work over the body of the girl DR..
Hart went into al adjoining room and
swallowed a large quantity of NOR
phine. The efforts of DR.. Hulstron
to revive the girl were %unavailing, and
she died in a short time. DR.. Hart
was given some restoratives, and DR..
Hulstron labored over him for several
hours before being convinced that he
would ultimately recover. DR.. Hart,
when in an almost normal condition,
was taken into custody.
DR.. Hart, who is said to be a NOR
phine fiend, has resided in Chicago but
a short time and is the son of a mil
lionaire of st. Louis, who has sent him
regularly an allowance of money which
has supported him and his wife.

CHAPTER xIx.-Continued.


The writ of ejectment was served.
Seven days interviewed, and a writ OF
summons followed. Mr.. Hamilton
agreed to recognize at the first term
of the Supreme Court, and he engaged
the counsel of Stone & Ferguson
whose reputation by many was con-
sidered to equal that Of Morley q
Stevens.
The claimant case was one OF the
first presented. 1t was to be tried by
jury, and the chief justice and four
associate judges were all in the court
room when the case was called. the
principals sat with their counsel, Mrs.
Hamilton and her uncle together in
the audience.
Mr.. Morley opened the case for the
plaintiff in something like the follow
ing words:

anything else, and by this the plain
tiff recognized her as Lenora, his
brothers wife, who was described by
the papers to have such hair. So
when she spoke to him as II she
knew him, he at once concluded that
she took him for his brother, her hus-
band. You here! she said. The
plaintiff assured her that he did not
know her, when she said, oh, l for

Mrs. Anderson, Newark, N. j.; but
the name was no doubt assumed, for
she let out to table girl named Mary
O'Neil that her name was Lenora.
"All this makes it evident that
Lenora expected to meet her husband,
but not in Grovedale, for she was
surprised when she thought she saw
him coming. This argues strong re-
semblance on the part of the twin
brothers. and which we know existed.
When Mr.. Hamilton recognized her.
as he did by her emerald hair, ne
asked her if he might talk with her,
and mentioned that he was intending
to take the next train for Portland.
The woman appeared puzzled, but
replied readily enough that she would
talk with him on the train.

still supposed he was her husband,

not wish her to recognize him on

her husband, Victor Hamilton, other

full not to bring detection upon her
husband. whom Unexpectedly she sup

she thought he was safe in Canada.
In her first excitement she forgot her

of the one north. Why did she do
this? Simply to travel with her hus-

he saw her on the train and talked
with her, but recollects nothing that
was said, for it was at this time that
his mind became eclipsed. What fol-
lowed. The woman, doubtless con-
WINGED of her mistake, left the train
at Mechanic Falls and went north to
join her husband at Coaticoke. Mr..
Hamilton went on his way to Port
land Conductor Libby testifies that
he saw him at the Portland depot, but
after that lost sight of him.
Now comes in the testimony Of a
commercial traveller, named George
Barnstead. His testimony is of so
astounding a nature that it needs to
be we'll authenticated and vouched
for, as it is in this instance. Mr..
Barnstead is Of an active, alert ma
ture, and little goes on under his
gaze without notice.
and this was what he observed at
Portland depot, where he loitered for
some time, expecting to meet an
other runner named Hurd. He saw a
man-whom he has since recognized
as Vane Hamilton, the plaintiff, by
his ograph-standing irresolutely
by himself. travelling bag in hand and
dressed as Mr. Hamilton was dressed
when he left Grovedale. He stood
there in the same attitude for at least
two minutes. He appeared to be
troubled in his mind, Mr.. Barnstead
thought. At the expiration of the two
minutes, more or less, another man
entered and looked at Mr.. Hamilton.

kina Edwards Bad BARGAIN.

When King Edward agreed to place
the hereditary revenues of the crown
at the disposal of the nation he made
a bad bargain. Instead of the rev.
enues he agreed to accept a clear
yearly sum of $2,S5O,0OO and the ma
ton is making profit on the bargain.
1t amounted to $112,500 last year and
is increasing. Among the properties
assigned by the king were consider
able portions of the West end. Rents
have risen greatly. One instance is
the Carlton hotel, for which the
ground rent was only $3,S13 per an.

stolen. AS time wore on and no trace
of the child could be found, all but
the mother gave up. Meanwhile, Mr..
Hamilton, the father, lost the greater
part of his property, and after time,
as | have said, the search for the
child was given up as unavailing. And
the mother at last acquiesced. But
on her deathbed she solemnly charg-
ed her son to seek for his brother.

said; you will then have fifty left

gave him a ring with the words in

Women Ruined Business.

A White Star liner arrived in New
York few days ago from the Mediter'
ranean, bringing 120 cabin passeng-
ers, eighty-six of whom were women.
They had the run of the ship, even
invading the smoking room, the result
being that for the first time on rec
ord, it is believed, a transatlantic
liner made voyage without card
game, not even hand at whist. The
bar took in only $40 during the trip,
another unprecedented feature.
