An eager throng, contalnlDR man women, blocked the spacious corridor ot the court house today, striving to tet Into the large court room to witness the proceedings In the trial or Frank H. Hamilton on the charge ot hav ing murdered Leonard H. Day. The state' first witness for tbo day was William O. Dennett, a St Louis traveling man, who was In the billiard room of the West hotel at the time ot the tragedy. He saw the party playing billiards, saw (he Hamilton party come In and heard Day say to Hamil ton; ' You're, the man I've been looking for." He heard the talk In which a woman was mentioned, but did not catch the drift of the conversation. He saw the scuffle between the principals and saw George, whom,h-fai'WN8.epart?:,tbem.

Barbe had bold ot hJa'rlgli; hand and was sup porting nitn- iiamiiioa;was not mere. The wlttiess conflnued- "I rubbed Day's other hand and then returned to (he bar for the brandy. Falling to get any, I re turned to the side of the- dying man and found Hamilton and Canfleld there. I told Hamilton to slap Day's hands and take off his shoes and rub his feed as his extremi ties were getting coid. Neither lUmtlton nor Qanfiejd !! anything. I said 'He is dying.' Hamilton said 'Is he?' and reached his hand over Day's breast. We continued to rub his feet and apply hot water. About ten minutes afterward the doctor came In and in five minutes Day died. 1'ray At Dead J(on' Side. . VI said. 'Let us offer a prayer.' I knelt down and Hamilton knelt by my side. The prayer was a silent one. An officer came and stood beside Hamilton and Canfleld. I .did not hear Hamilton say anything to the officer nor afterward. I had no knife nor .had Barbe. Neither ot us had hail any trouble In the room with anyone." On cross-examination, Dennett said there were fifteen or twenty persons In the room at tho time. There was a row going on in another part of the room. He had known Tlarbe about six weeks and had met Day casually. Ray Evans was the next witness. He Is In tho grain business. He described the salcons he had visited with Hamilton and his party, and then their going to tho West hotel. On entering the billiard room he spoke to Day, whom he knew, and then turned and Introduced Hamilton to Day. The two shook hands, and then witness turned away, without hearing the ensuing conversation. He described his altercation with Force, who, he understood, had said something derogatory about him. "I asked Force what he had against me. and for a reply he shoved me down Into a chair, saying. "Sit down; I don't want to havo anything to do with you.' Gary then broke In and said It was no time for trouble with Force. He got me out of the room, and when J got, back I was warned by a bell boy not to go4aras..thcro-had.bcn trouble." .IVPl5 Drlnka. On cross-examination Mr. Penny went Into the question of what Witness Evans had drunk during the evening, beginning with those before he went to the hotel. The witness appealed to the court to know whether this was relerant, but was told to answer. So he detailed a succession of drinks at arious places. In all he had drank with Hamilton six or seven times He denied that he was drunk and that there waa, loud talk or profanity In the bil liard room. He had a cut on the back of his head when he went away, but explained that It was caused by the back of the chair Into which Force had pushed him. He had gone without his "hat because he could not find It. Frank M. Nye, tor the defense, arose and stated to the court that the defense had learned today for the first time with sur prise that Darbc would not be produced by the state. The defense considered him as an Important witness, and It he could not be produced would ask that his evidence at the coroner's Inquest be admitted. County Attorney Boardman explained that he was not personally responsible, as bo h.id come Into office since the commission of the crime. His predecessor had made every effort to seoufo Barbe'a attendance. but tho latter was outaldo their jurisdic tion, since be was out ot the state. He ob Jected to the admission ot evidence at the inquest because. Barbe had not then been cross-examined.' The court said the ques tion would bo argued at the opening of the next session, The last witness, of the morn Ing waa.Charles L. Ferris, attendant In the billiard room. He heard Day say to Ham ilton: You are the man I have been look lng for," and the rest ot the conversation that ensued, as told by witnesses. After the first scuffle he put away all the cues and balls, covered the tables up and took the beer glasses back to the bar. When he re turned he met Hamilton and Canfleld com lng out and the affair was over. After wards bo saw Hamilton sitting with a police officer In the bar room, Ferris named all the persona nresent In the room, George Fore. Gray, Evans. Canfleld, Hamilton Bennett. Barge, Ruel and a traveling man he did not know, who went out before Hamilton came In. Ruel went out before Day died. He swore positively that there were no others In the room. On cross-examination he said George reached down and helped Hamilton and Day up after the first scuffle, but witness did not think he parted them. The noon recess was then taken. Snsr M ) aterlona StraiiR-er. On the opening of the court In the after noon the defense moved that the county attorney be required to produce A. M. Barbe In court us a witness. Mr. Penney pointed out that the laws provided for furnishing the expense money required In advance by the witness. The court denied the mo tion and an exception waa noted. Stephen O'Malley, watchman at the West hotel, gave Important evidence. He put young Evans out because he was drunk, noisy and quarrelsome. He saw Hamilton on top ot Day, but saw no blows struck. Indeed, It Is remarkable that not a single witness thus far saw a blow struck by Ham ilton. O'Malley arrested Hamilton on the advice of Canfleld, who was one of the prlJ oner's companions, but who said to him: "Hold that man." Hamilton said not a word tin to the time O'Malley turned him over to Police man Rooney, to whom the state charges that he made a confession. O'Malley Iden tified a big wooden-handled knife, with one broad, rusty blade, an the one he picked up near Day's body. On crosa-exarulnatlon the watchman men tioned for the first time in the case "a mys terious stranger." When he caifle back after putting Evans out he saw a "slim, tall man, with Iron gray mustache, weigh ing about 150 pounds," standing near a billiard table. This bit of evidence greatly pleased the defense. 1 Dr. Henry S. Nelson, formerly coroner. described the cuts on the body. Identified the knife and declared, after the defense's objection had been overruled, that. tho blade of the knife could have caused the cuts. tiray'a Kvlilrnre a Snrprlir, J. T. Gray, a boarder at the West hotel. gave some unexpected evidence. He had been attracted to the billiard room by hear ing that some one had been hurt there and had gone In twice. Each time Day was lying on the floor. The first time there was no knife by his body, but the second time thero was. He swore postlvely that there was no one near Day's body the first time be went In. This contradicts the tes timony of several others of the state's wit nesses. There were other Important dis crepancy between his story and those told by the others. The sensation of the day was the calllnz of Caroline Slagle as a witness. She said she had known both Day and Hamilton for about three months. She admitted hav ing vIsltH Hamilton In jail and said she was still on friendly terms with him. Asked It she had had a certain conversation with Hamilton before tho tragedy, she turned to the judge and said: "I understand that It Is privileged.-' The defense Insisted that the witness be Irstructed that she need not testify to any thing that might tend to Incriminate her self. At least the state should put Its questions In writing and submit them to the court before they were put to thp wit ness. After a consultation between the court and the lawyers, the court ruled that If the evidence tended to Incriminate the witness she need not answer. "That Is all," said the county attorney. Mr. Penney asked If she was intimately connected with either Day or Hamilton. She said she was not and was then excused. After recalling Force and George to clear up some minor points, court adjourned for the day. INVESTIGATION TO BE PUSHED Boath Dakota Oommittti Oneotti Its Chair man and Sets a Date.

McCargar. formerly clerk for the Dunning Hardware company and later for tho James Morton & Sons com pany, committed suicide In a boarding house, 615 South Thirteenth street, Monday by taking a large dose ot laudanum. He left no word explaining why he took his own life, but It l learned that he re turned to his home at 1S09 Webster street Thursday night In a drunken condition and quarreled with his wife. He left, vow. lng that he would never come back. The wife did not see blm again until the un dertaker brought his body home. They have, a 13-year-old daughter. Theodore Grabbengeeser. keeper of ths boarding house, tells this story: "The man came to my house at S o'clock this morn ing and asked for a room. I showed him up; he paid me 23 cents and said that he didn't want to bo disturbed until tomor row". That aroused my suspicions, but as he cecmed to to all right and perfectly sober I couldn't refuse to let blm have tho room. "After remaining In tho room about two hours be came down stairs and tried to send one at my children across the street to the drug store for a bottle ot laudanum, but the child refused to go and a tew min utes later he went himself. I didn't learn about this until about 7:30 this evening. As soon as I heard ot It I went up to his room, taking a young man, named Kar stens, with me. We found the door locked. Aa there was no answer to our knock we broke the lock, entered and found the man lying on the bed, apparently dead." Ponce surgeon Ames. tred tq revive him and began to use, a stomach pump, but without avail. On the washstand In the room were two three-ounce bottles, one full of laudanum, the other with about a teaspoonful ot the drug In the bottom. There was also a glass with a few drops ot the poison In It, from which he bad drunk the potion. A screwdriver, a Jack knife, a few lead pencil stubs, 2 cents in money, a trunk and valise key and several letters made up his effects. The body was turned over to t!ie coroner and an Inquest will probably be held to day. Snmmnni Kx-litnfrnnr I, re, rrlvatr Secretary- Tnm Ajrra nnit I'nblle Kxamlner .Morris Taylor to OIe Teallmnnj.
