and is by no means showered with
either visits or flowers by women, a:

NOVEL; occasionally calls with news
papers and magazines. Hamilton
reads and smokes and has written
but two or three letters-one to his
father. He gets but little mail, aside
from official matter enormously sent
him as adjutant general. This official
mail he promptly readdresses and
sends to General Lamping. He has
received one special delivery letter.
This might have been from Hazel
Moore, his affinity, but excepting this
he has had no correspondence with
the woman who brought him to deg
radiation
Some persons have thought Ham
ilton had 'salted away" some of the
money stolen from the state. Many
thought Hazel Moore held this money
and would use it in some way for
Hamilton. Such, however, SENS not
to be the case. No evidence has vet
cropped out that Hamilton has any
money whatever in any place In
stead, he presents glazing example
of the come easy, go easy" theory.
Hamilton has not even change of
underclothing. Since confinement his
attorney brought him a suit of under
garments and pair of socks. Other
wise he is ''flat broke, down and out"
AS Hamilton was good dresser"
in his palmy days, much interest has
been expressed as to where he left
his clothing. Some have suggested
that Hazel Moore took even his trunk
when she left the Butler Annex at
Seattle for Oakland. nj any event,
he is badly in need of clothes.
If he has any money hidden away,
Hamilton is making a good showing
of poverty to hide it. 1t is more
than probable that the pace he went
with Hazel Moore took all he could
gather together by fair means and
foul.
Hamilton has changed but little in
jail. ''He seems to be getting used
to it," says Sheriff CASTOR
81 can notice but little difference
in Hamilton" said Deputy Sheriff
Caldwell except that he looks red
about the eyes. I have never caught
him crying. He appears to sleep well
and often. He takes nap regular
ly every afternoon"
No Word From Kinsmen.
1t is practically certain that none
Of Hamilton's relatives have written
him or taken any interest in his case.
They certainly have not visited him.
This, it is pointed out, must be his
greatest source of silent sorrow.
''Of course I can't say that Hamil-
ton cries about these things said
Deputy Caldwell, "but it may be that
he is quietly weeping when he pre-
lends to be doing so much sleeping.
He puts up a fine front when we
come in, but his eyes are red
Although Hamilton in his heyday
mixed wine and women in revelry, he
has none of the earmarks of a hard
thinker, and gives no evidence of suf-
'ering from the enforced abstemious-
ness of prison life He seems to have
lone more buying than drinking.
Never since his confinement has he
even asked to be furnished a BRA
GER"
For two days following his arrest
Hamilton was kept at the Mitchell
hotel within reaching distance of a
bell button connecting with the bar.
such an avalanche of trou-
Bile almost any drinking man would
have called for something to nerve
him up But during this trying
time he seemed not to have thought
Of whisky and sent to the bar but
once for a bottle of beer.
Hamilton has given no intimation
Of what his defense will be. Many
we'll informed men believe he will
plead guilty and throw himself on
the mercy of the court. His trial
will be held in Olympia next month
AS many of the vouchers said to
have been forged by Hamilton were
for government supplies, he has hang
ing over him a probable trial by a
federal court in the event he should
be acquitted on the case now pend
ing, which sets forth embezzlement
on but two vouchers.
