DIVORCE CASE APPEAL.
VIM. Hamilton Not Satisfied With Ac-
ton of Lower Court.

The appeal of a divorce case to the SUI
preme court is a rather unusual occur
renee but only the usual features are in
volved in the case of William Hamilton
vs. Anna J. Hamilton, appealed from Cove
county, the papers in which were filed
today.
Mrs. Hamilton, in the trial in the lower
courts, alleged cruel treatment on the
part of her spouse and asked for divis-
ion of the property, alimony and the GUS
tody. of the minor children. The couple
had been married twenty-nIne years. The
come to Judgment, summed up the case
in a decision of length and clearness. His
award of the property apparently showed
the wisdom of a Nestor dividing the
Trojan spoils among the Greeks. He re-
fused to grant absolute divorce for the
too long to take such a step in the haste
of anger He agreed to consider this
phase of the proposition later If both
parties continued in the same frame of
mind. In the meantime. with the proper
ty divided, they can live apart awhile
of single blessedness. AS for the children,
the judge decided that they should choose
for themselves which parent they would
rather live with
1t can be seen at glance that this
Cove county judge covered every phase
human nature in his findings in this case.
Still the defendant, William Hamilton,
was not satisfied and appealed the case
to the supreme court. The decision of
that honorable body on the status of
marital woe and separation will be re-
ceived with interest by a large number
of people in this state and may result in
the establishment of a new basis from
which to settle domestic difficulties and
divide property in such cases.

CHECK ON CANADA.
RetaliatOry Duty ON Wood Pulp Pro-
posed by Finance Committee.

Washington, June 19.-This coun-
try will be prepared to meet the
move made by Canada looking to the
prohibition of the expectation of her
logs into the United States If the
amendment suggested by the COM
mittee on finance to the wood pulp
paragraph of the tariff bill shall be
agreed to. AS soon as the senate had
for the time disposed of the income
tax question at the beginning of to-
days session, Senator Aldrich pre-
sented the committees amendment
on pulp.
Following is the text of the COM
mittee'S provision:
THAT in case any country. de-
pendency province, or subdivision,
thereof, shall forbid directly or in
directly the expectation of any wood
pulp; logs or wood for use in the
manufacture of wood pulp. an addi-
tional duty equal to the rates of
duties imposed by this paragraph
upon wood pulp shall be imposed
upon any wood pulp imported from
such country or dependency
The amendment was not passed as
several senators expressed a desire
for time to give 1t consideration be-
fore voting on it.
Senator C1app briefly expressed the
opinion that the retaliatory restric-
lions proposed by the amendment
would unfavorably affect the United
States by causing a higher price of
paper. Mr.. Aldrich declared the
provision was only intended to apply
higher duty on paper exported
from Canada to the United States in
case that country forbid the ex-
portation of logs and wood pulp.
''We simply say to the people of
Canada" he said. eff you refuse to
allow logs or wood pulp to be sent
you will have to pay little higher
duty"
On motion of Mr. Aldrich the print
paper schedule was further amended
so as to reduce from six-tenths Of a
cent to one-half a cent pound the
duty provided by the house on paper,
worth from 3 to 4 cents q pound.

Nav Free Patrick

Albert T. Patrick the alleged MUIR
derer of William M. Rice. will be aided
in his next fight for freedom by DIR.
Joseph Bell the original of Sherlock
Holmes, and physician in ordinary to
King Edward. A decision is expected
next Friday from the supreme court on
the motion of Patrick's lawyers for a
new trial. and in the event of it being
granted, sensational developments are
promised in the celebrated case.
DR.. Bell, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
and a number of the greatest surgeons
and physicians of Great Britain have
been aroused by the strange details of
the Rice murder and by the efforts of
DR.. William Smith, professor of anat-
omy and medical Jurisprudence at the
American College of Osteopathy, Kirk
wood, Mo. DR.. Smith has secured a
monumental petition, which contains
balmers, and which will be presented
to Governor Hughes within a few days,
calling for a revision of the testimony
on which Patrick was convicted
DR.. Smith was a student with Conan
Doyle under DIR. Bell in the Edinburgh
university. From the day eight years
ago when Patrick was arrested for the
murder of the aged millionaire, DR..
Smith took the deepest interest in the
case, and after Patrick's conviction he
commenced to work to save him. He
travelled all over America securing
opinions from various medical experts.
and finally went to Europe where he
placed the facts before his famous
master. DR. Bell gave DR.. Smith q let
| ter, in which he says:
Gam I to understand that the post
mortem examination of the body, on
which evidence was founded, was
really made after election? AS I have
no doubt that the vessels of the lungs
can be injected from the brachial,
which, indeed, you prove, surely any
results as to the vapor of chloroform
| being detected are quite impossible to
understand"
AS the principaT point of the trial was
as to whether the lungs of the dead
man could have been congested by the
embalrning fluid, this opinion Is re-
| garded by the defense as sufficient in
| itself to acquit Patrick. 1t is further
| Endorsed by Sir Henry Littlejohn, M.
D.; Sir William Turner, NJ D., and
John Chiene. M. D., F. R. c. S., three
| of the foremost medical authorities of
Great Britain.
Patrick is at present in Sing Sing. He
is engaged in making vests and coats,
| but eight years of prison and impend-
ing execution have not broken his
spirit He has exhausted all his re-
| sources in his fight for liberty, but he
still is confident of final acquitta1. AL
| his hopes are now pinned on the de-
cision of the supreme court. His wife
and a. few friends have remained
! faithful to him. as has his lawyer, Will
| liam l. Mcdonald, of 40 Wall street,
who was his schoolmate and lifelong
| friend. Mr. Mcdonald is very optimistic
| that his long struggle is nearly ended.

The document reads:
while in our minds and opinion, we
as men, regard the defendant as guilty,

dence as placed before US, we can not
find sufficient evidence to convict and
Therefore render a verdict of not
guilty.
The jury was roundly scored by JUS
tice Spencer, who ordered the clerk to
remove their names from the list of
