Dan Hamilton Of Sigourney, con-

has been in the city some days attend
ing court, and last evening Hamilton
and Judge Wade were banqueted in
formally by the democratic members
of the legislature. Mr.. Hamilton has
not done great amount OF mingling
with the legislators since three years
ago, when he appeared here as coun-
sci for Mrs. Sarah Kuhn in her appli-
cation for pardon. Mr.. Hamilton
fought the same case thru the courts
and made good fight for her pardon.
With him it was matter Of conscience
for he never got anything out Of it
save what the courts allowed him for
defending poor prisoner
81 have not changed my views in the
least since the suicide Of Sarah Kuhn"
he said. 81 believe all along that the
evidence was not such as to sustain a
conviction and believe it now. had
expectation that the court would grant
new trial and the court was divided,
the dissenting opinion being one Of the
strongest ever written. But for the
fact that Mrs. Kuhn had been in prison
only little while the legislature would
have pardoned her. The evidence was
circumstantial and believe that most
of 1T pointed more to her innocence
than to her guilt"
