HAMILTON

JAIL
Ex = Adjutant General
Now Treated Like
Common Crook

OLYMPIA, May Former Ad-
jutant General Ortis Hamilton,
who is under arrest here on
charges of embezzling the military
funds of the state, was taken this
afternoon to the county jail Of
Thurston county, where he now
a common prisoner.
Hamilton still has hopes that his
relatives will soon come to his
rescue and furnish the $4,000
required for his liberty. Until
this afternoon Hamilton, since his
arrest, had been held in local
hotel in the custody of a deputy
sheriff. His removal to the coun-
ty Jail is said to have been caused
by public criticism Of the leniency
shown the former army officer.
Hamilton remains cheerful and
stoutly denies that he has made
any confession. He continues to
refuse to discuss his affairs.
Governor Hay is in Seattle to-
day for the purpose of engaging
an expert accountant to go over
Hamilton's accounts.
Shortage Increasing.
1t will require the work of an
expert accountant for weeks and
an extended correspondents to de-
termine the sum total of former
Adjutant General Ortis Hamilton's
systematic larcenies from the mil
itary fund. Another large forgery
has turned up in the case of YOU
cher No. 5968 for 1907. This is
for $1,627.32.
