GUILTY OF MURDER
IN SECOND DEGREE
Four Indians Convicted of Staying
Their Medicine Man; Detailed
to Atlanta

case II Bitse No Dozic. the fourth
Indian, Judge Sawteile declared that
he could not do 50. inasmuch as he
had sentenced all four Indians to
the least terms permitted in convic-
tons OF murder in the second de
gree. He declared. however. that ii
the Indian would behave and not
give ;he authorities al Atlanta any
trouble. within a reasonable space of
time ne would recommend to the
president OF the United States that
he be pardoned or paroled.
For the first time since their or

as the interpreter announced that
he would be taken from the sun

Navajo reservation to the stone
peniteltiary at Atlanta, away from
his f7mily and the home OF his ia
theirs.
The two others first declared that
they had a legal excuse to offer
why they should not be punished and
then reversed their statements.
When Bitse No Dozie was told
through the interpreter OF his
chances for a pardon and the con-
ditions governing them he replied
with 4 look from his eyes which
did not even require the interpre-

The four Indians were remanded

LAST NIGHT OF GREAT MAN
Little Son Of Alexander Hamilton
Slept With Him and They Prayed
Together.

Alexander Hamilton's last night at
Burr on July II, 1904, can hardly have
been a night of quiet slumber. He was
to meet an opponent whose am was
true, and the chances were all against
him. He was drawn rudely from his
political preoccupations to face an
unanticipated fate.
An account of Hamilton's last night
was given to the newspapers IS years
later, in 1879, by John Church Hamil-
ton, his fourth son, who was twelve
years old at the time of his fathers
death. The son was the person near
est his father during the dark hours
before the duel. His fathers conduct
way that made him remember the clos
ing scenes for the rest of his life. No
other anecdote told of him can show
Alexander Hamilton In q more appeal
ing light.

his son. my fathers residence was

the city was rather a shabby affair.
The day before the duel / was sitting
in room, when, at slight noise,
turned around and saw my father In
the doorway, standing silently there
and looking at me with most sweet
and beautiful expression of counte-
nance. 1t was full of tenderness, and
without any of the business preoccu-
patton he sometimes had.
John he said, when l had discov-
cred him, won't you come and sleep
with me tonight? His voice was
frank, as If he had been my brother
instead of my father.
THAT night l went to his bed, and
in the morning very early he awak-
ened me, and taking my hands in his
palms, all four hands extended, he
said and told me to repeat the Lords
