the Charge of Murder.

Fred Hamlin, the negro who shot
and instantly killed Carl McCrea at
Finley last week, was taken to Sher-
brook, the county seat Of Steele coun-
ty, for trial on a charge of murder.
Hamlin was not aware that he had
committed murder. He thought that
McCrea had sustained only a flesh
wound. Sheriff Stanley of Steele
county, who was in charge of the MUIR
derer, did not inform the prisoner that
he had killed McCrea, as he figured
there would be less danger of the col
pred mar making a break for liberty
II he did not know that murder was
committed. Hamlin stated that it was
only a mixup over a game of poker
and could be easily adjusted on his
arrival at S~herbrook. Concerning the
events leading up to the crime he
said:
1--WE were having a game of poker
and after several hours I had won a
bunch of money. I had a nice stack
OF bills and silver in front of me and
decided I would quit the game. |

money McCrea grabbed it and raked

people.

Stanley was notified at once. He was
On his farm near Hope and made the
trip Of eighteen miles to Finley in
forty minutes. Hamlin had made his
escape from Finley right after the
shooting and 1T was surmised that he
had gone on a freight train. The au

Casselton-Devils Lake line of the
Great Northern were notified to lool

had remained motionless for some

But nothing came from lilly save
the sound of her still labored breath

he waited q moment. The waters of
the stream swished against the rocks,
but the music of it did not at that mo-
ment appeal to the shingle blocker.
"Tilly! Oh, Tilly!"
The cry came from the depths Of his
soul, and the tone Of it seemed of cav
ernous origin. But there was only ST.
lence for an answer, and it cut into
his heart like an edged tool. If he had
taken a moment to consider how fright
