VERDICT IN THE ENeLE CASE
John HamIin Held ON Charge OF Muir
derinR Grand Island Woman.


deriDR Grand Island Woman.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb. Jan. 16.-(spe-
cial. )-"That the deceased Rachel Engle
came to her death on Monday, January a.
at 4:3O D. m, from the effects Of a gunshot
wound in the back, inflicted by John G.
Hamln on August 8. 1906" is the verdict
returned by coroner's jury in the death Of
the young girl who was shot during carni' a
week by an alleged unrequited admirer.
1t is believed that John Hamlin intended
to shoot both the girl and Charles A. Smith,
the young man who was walking by her
side at the time of the shooting.
1t Is the first time any testimony has been
taken in the case. IL showed that six
young people werd on the way down town
at o'clock on the evening Of August to
mingle with the carnival crowd. Two young
women, Miss Engle and Miss Durham, and
four young men. Miss Engle's 16-year-old
brother, Smith and Hamlin, both boarders
at the home of the girls parents, and
Stephen Grover Cleveland Williams, as he
gave his name to the jury also lad OF
only 16 years. On the way down the party
without any preconcerted plan, shifted
somewhat as to their walking side by side
and Smith was walking near the Engle girl
and Miss Durham, when Hamlin, accord
ing to all of the witnesses, stepped aside

clan and surgeon was all that could be done
for her Hamlin at the time escaped,
though pursued a short distance by Smith.
but was the next evening captured at Dan
nebrog. He did not deny the shooting. but
stated that there is something back of 1t
that the people do not know 1t is believed
the defense win be insanity.
Hamln was much disturbed last night
when he heard the girl had died, but,
while the sheriff took extra precautions,
there is no general talk of not permitting
the law to take it's course. The charge OF
shooting with intent to kin will, no doubt.
upon this development, be changed to MUIR
der in the first degree.

SUNDAY SCHOOL INST1-
TUTES.

The Township Tour of Sunday
School Institutes, under the man
agement of State S. S. Secretary
Fuller, is about to take place. AT
these meetings no collections will
be taken for support of the work.
This is by request of the commit
tee of the East Orange County
Assn, who believe they can rely
on the churches and schools to
take care of this end of the work,
We say churches, because the
fact is no longer ignored that the
S. S. is a part of the church, and
a very important part.
We believe this work should be
provided for by a special church
Offering; because nearly every
congregation contains not only
the S. S. but some who are both
able and willing to help by their
offerings, if not by their presence
in class. However, the "class of
ering slips" such as have been
used in the past will be furnished
by the treasurer to all who apply
stating number needed.
In view of our pledge of $3.50
to the State Assn. it will be seen
that more is to be expected of all
than in the past, but there is this
much to be said: all who meet
their apportionment at this time
will be free from such appeals
during the remainder of the con-
ventiOn year.
