Murtlrrril Mnn Mnile.
MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 13. It wa the de
fense's turn today In tho trial of Frank II.
Hamilton for tho murder of Leonard H. Uay.
Ills chief counsel, Robert L. Penny, out
lined to the Jury what he expected to show.
Turning then to Day, Penny pointed out
that "hu wan from n wealthy family and
that his every whim and desire wero grat
ified. For two, nights before his death he
lind been out nil night carousing. On the
night In question he had gone to the theater
with boon companions. Later ho hud gone
to the West hotel ajid begun the ,imc of
pcol with some frtendi there. Ioho men
with whom ho was playing were practically
thn only accusers of Hamilton. What won
der that from Instincts ot sel(-prcscrintlO!i
nnd to clear their own skirts of nny possi
ble suspicion they should lean In their evi
dence toward the accusation of the de
fendant ?
"Hamilton on that night had had a num
ber of drinks Just, how many he does not
know, Tlnnlly, when tho saloons were all
closed, they went to the West hotel bi -causo
Evans wanted another drink. Ho had
no trouble with Day. He had met Day bo
fore, but not formally. Hamilton was In
toxicated that night, or partly to. He re
membered shaking hands with Day. Every
body there was Intoxicated, say what they
will. Hamilton remembors receiving a blow
on tho face or Jaw. and shortly thereafter
ho received a blow on the head from n cane,
cue or club, and this will bo proved. From
that time on be was not conscious of any
thing until he found himself on tho floor
near Pay's side. Of the crime he says: 'I
know I did not do It. 1 could not do It. In
the very nature of things.'
"A knlfo has been shown you here, gentle
men. That was not the knlfo of Frank H.
Hamilton. He never bad such a knife. He
had only a small pocket knife. We will
show you that Day carrlnl Just such a
knife. There was a geueral row that night
and more than onu knife was used."
S. K. Jackson, former clcik at tho West
hotel, was the first witness .Mini. He
said that Day. whom he hsc. Known Inti
mately, spent a week In Milwaukee at a
hotel where witness Is now employed. Jack
son met him ugaln tit Minneapolis a few
days before tho stabbing. Jackson tcttt
tied that Day had said that during bis
(Day's) absence Hamilton had been keep
ing company with the girl nnd he nas going
to do him up,"
Jackson testllled that Day carried' a large
knife with a long handle,
1 1 rt i 1 1 ii In II In Own llehnlf.
Tho defendant himself, Frank II. Hamil
ton, then took the stand. He sketched his
ltfo substantially as his counsel had done.
Continuing, Hamilton said hu never touched
ft drop of liquor before ho went to Colorado,
Ho had come to Minneapolis In March, IS99.
Ho did not work until tho summer, when ho
went to work on the Journal, doing feature
or ipaco work. In September he was forced
to return to Denver because of Ill-health,
He remained In Denver until April, 1900,
when ho returned to Minneapolis to go to
wcrk for the Times, lie had remained on
the Times until November 25, whetrhe was
arrested on the charge of murdering Day,
Hamilton described In detnll his move
ments on tho eventful day. Ho came back.
to tho Times office ot 10 o'clock that night
and turned In his copy. At 11 o'clock he
went across the street to Starr's saloon,
where ho bad several drinks. He realized
that he was getting drunk. After the saloon
closed they went to the West hotel, with
some associates, to "get ono more drink,"
as ono of then suggested.
Hnmllton stated positively on direct ex
amination that hu had no expectation of
seeing Day. He denied that, so far as he
was concerned, there wbh any Ill-feeling
native. n them. After he had entered the
West hotel, he found himself talking to
Day. "I think Day made an insulting re
mark, to which I took affront," Hamilton
continued, "and 1 asked him If ho vould
light. He said I was too drunk. Then
Charles Forco came up and said, 'I'll fight
you.' The next thing I knew Day and I
were clinched md 1 threw Day down. Then
we got up. 1 remember that there was a
mlxup around us. Then some one struck
me with a club or a piece of iron on tho
forehead nnd I lost consciousness. I knew
nothing of what happened after that until I
found myself dialing Day's hands and lafr
when the officer took mo Into tho barroom."
Hamilton was shown tho bloodstained
knife. He emphatically denied over having
seen or owning it. Ho recalled no conver
sation with Patrolman Jtoatey. who mado n
fctntcment yesterday as to Hamilton's cm-
ICiSlQIl.
Prim rent Ion Cro.-l't timlm-a.
County "Attorney Iloardman gave Hnmllton
n rigid crnss-exnmlnntion. but showed '.o
disposition to embarrass him unnneccs
sarlly. The defendant's composure and as
surance Increased accordingly. To many of
the questions h amwered "I don't know."
Ho admitted that ho and Cinflold planned a
hunting trip, but denied that lio had bough"
a hunting knife In preparation for It, n? Hie
trip never got beyond tho talk stage. Asked
"why ho grappled with Day ho -ald it was
because Day said something offensive. iVh.it
It was ho did not remember, but lie know
It mado him angry.
Mr. Roardnian asked why he could remem.
ber bo many things nnd not others. Hamil
ton replied that hu told all ho could, lint
that tho blow dazed him so that he know no
more.
"I am sure I did not kill Leonard Day," he
said.
"Why?"
"Because I know myself. It was Impos
sible for mo to have dono so."
Dr. Charles A. Krdmnn. anatomist in tho
medical department of the State university,
gave It as his expert opinion that not ill
of the wounds received by Day were causd
by tho satno Instrument.
Doctor lliMilr Slur? uf 'uiifiiiliiii.
Dr. William It. Murray, tho physician
who reached Day's sldo Just before he died,
testified that Hamilton had helped him
place the body on tho billiard table. Day's
clothei were open to the waistband and ho
was told that Hamilton had opened them.
He noticed Hamilton's wounds, all on the
left sldo of his face, nnd believed they worn
ull caused by ono blow from somo Instru
ment. Dr. .Murray controverted Patrolman
Ilooney's confession story. Ho declared
that he was near during nil the time
Itconey was present, until the defendant
was taken away, and that ho heard every,
thing that was said by either Hamilton or
Rooney. Hamilton, Instead qf saying, "I
killed him nnd am prepared to take the
consequences," ns Hooney testified, said;
"I will go with you and If I have dons
anything wrong am prepared to take the
consequences,"
Witness then went on to deuy lu detail
that Hamilton hail made the various state
ments alleged by Rooney and to say that
If any such things had been said he would
certainly have heard them. Witness was.
positive of this, Another point made by
the defense through Dr. Murray was this:
He examined Hamilton's hands and cuffs
Immediately after he arrived and found
them without blood.

It Iclinnlnoii In Account.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. The bouse de
voted today, excepting an hour nnd n half
consumed In counting the electoral vote
and promulgating the result of tho presi
dential election, to the sundry civil ap
propriation bill. This measure wbb com
pleted, but little actual progress was made
with tho bill.
It was taken up when the session opened
and Mr. Hell of Colorado, a member from
tho appropriations committee, took tho
floor with a speech against tho "extrava
gance of tho present congress." Ho said
it was tlmo tho people became alarmed at
the rapid growth of expenditures. So cal
lous had cotigroes become to vast increases
In the appropriations, he said, that It was
considered almost disreputable to cull at
tention to tho extravagance of the govern
ment. Ho produced figures to show that
lu a slnglo decado the per capita cost of
carrying on the governmental machinery
had Increased from $4.7."i to over $10.
Business at this point Was suspended to
permit counting of tho electoral vote,
roi-lirilll .llnkon Iti-iiiniintriuicr.
Upon conclusion of these ceremonies Mr,
Cochran of Missouri made an attack on the
recklessness of the apprnprlotlons lu this
congress. He declared that tho total ap
propriations for tho next year. If reckoned
In gold, would exreed the appropriations
In 1864, when tho federal government had
1,200 ships on the seas maintaining a
blockade from Galveston to tho Chesa
peake, and 1,000,000 men on land engaged
In .the most tremendous military enter
prise in the history of the age. Later he
arrnlgncd tho Philippine policy.
Mr. Richardson also commented upon the
vast total of appropriations at this session
of congress, which he said would reach
fS00.0OO.u00.
Itli'luirilKoii'N tin ii llretml
"Did you not vote for the river nnd harbor
and the postofficc appropriation bills?"
asked Mr. Hepburn of Iown.
"What If I did?" replied Mr. Richardson.
' 1 could not stand here and hold back ap
propriations lor which liabilities have been
created."
Mr. Moody of Massachusetts challenged
Mr. Itlchardion to point out a single appro
priation In tho sundry civil bill which could
be omitted. Mr. Richardson said ho would
do so.
"While the gentleman Is talking about
cutting down expenditures," o'bserved Mr.
Moody, "I will ask him whether he did not
vote for n soldiers' home In Tennessee.
Mr. Richardson I did. It passed unani
mously, I believe.
Mr. Moody It did not. I voted against It.
Did not the gentleman aUo vote for the
Row-nun act claims?
Mr. Rlchardson-1 did.
Mr. Moody The gentleman and I agreed
on the necessity for holding down appro
priations. Tho trouble Is that he always
votes for them, while I vote against them.
Proceeding, Mr. Richardson pointed out
that ono of tho appropriations In the bill
that should be omitted was tins Item of
J136.000 for tho rent of temporary quarters
for the New York custom house,
Mr. Corliss of Mlchlnn spoke In favor of
tho construction of a Pacific cable.
At 5:33 the house adjourned.
TAKES UP AGRICULTURAL BILL
Senate Itmiinir Connltlornt Ion ot the
.llennure Toller I'mleMn Project
to .11 up .Soil.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. During the
greater port of the day tho senate was
engaged In executive session and in the
counting of the electoral vote for the presi
dent nnd vlco president of tho United
States. Lato in the afternoon considera
tion of the agricultural appropriation bill
was resumed, but little progress was made.
At the opening of the session of the
senate Mr. Clark of Wyoming presented the
credentials of his colleague, Hon. Francis
B. Warren, re-elected a senator from Wyo
ming for a term of six years beginning
March 4, i!01 .
In reporting favorably n batch of private
pension bills, Mr. Oalllnger, chairman of
tho committee on pensions, gave notice to
senators that It would be useless for them
to Introduce any more pension bills at this
session, as tho committee on pensions could
handle no more.
Mr. Money of Mississippi reported from
tho foreign relations committee a bill to
prevent the sale of firearms, opium and In
toxicating liquors' In certain islands of the
Pacific and asked for Its immedlntc con
sideration. Mr. Morgan of Alabama remarked that he
dissented from the report and therefore ob
jected to consideration of the bill.
A houso bill authorizing the Allfia, Man
atee & Gulf CoaBt Railroad company to
build bridges across the Mauateo river and
Gasparltla sound was passed.
At 11:10 the senate, on motion of Mr.
Hawley of Connecticut, went Into executive
session.
At 12:30 p. m. tho senate resumed busi
ness In open session. A night session for
the purpose of reading tho District of Co
lumbia codo bin was agreed to.
The senate then proceeded to tho hall of
tho houso of representatives to participate
In the electoral count ceremony, resuming
business nt 2:03 p. m.. when the result of
tho electoral count was reported for formil
entry In tho Journal of the senate.
Mr. iornkor, chalrnun if tho committee
on Pacific Islands end Firm Rico, called up
a bill relating to tho retirement of tho
Hawaiian coinage and currency. Ho ex
plained that tho old Hawaiian government
had Issuod fl.0O0.000 of silver coins In dol
lars, half dollars, quarters nnd dime.).
Against 1272,000 of the amount silver certifi
cates had beer United, the 1272,000 of silver
belug retained in the treasury. Tho pur
poso of tho bill was to substitute silver
coins of the United States for the Hawaiian
coins, both being of the same weight and
degree of fineness.
"The bill g all right." Interjected Mr.
Cockrell of Missouri. It was passed without
further comment. Senators Hale, Chandler
and Tillman were named as conferees on he
naval appropriation bill.
At 2:20 the senate again went Into exec
utive session. At 4:15 tho doors were
opened nnd consideration of the agricul
tural appropriation bill was resumed. Tho
amendment relating to the seituro of Im
ported foods, drugs and liquors In rase thoy
should bo found to bo adulterated injuri
ously, which was discussed at length yes
terday, was agreed to.
When the committee amendments provid
ing for tho mapping of the soils of the
United States was readied Mr. Teller pro
tested that no such project ought to bo au
thorized. It would provo to be not only a
gigantic task, useless as to practical re
sults, Irii H would Involve an expense ulti
mately of millions of dollars. He moved to
strike out the provision. It precipitated
considerable discussion and whs not dis
posed of when, under Its special order, the
senate nf. .130 took a recess until 8 o'clock.
The district code bill was read from :
p. m. until 10:15 p. m., when tho senate ad
journed without completing the rcadlug of
tb bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. (Special Tele
gram.) The movement to scparato the Da
kotos from the Nebraska revenue collection
district Is directly traceable to Collector
Peterson of Iowa, who Is In Washington
agitating for tho separation. Senator Hans
brough Is not particularly enthusiastic with
the idea of putting North Dakota Into the
Minnesota district, ns ho has had nn oppor
tunity to know that Minnesota does not nl
waya play fair when In close tlcups. as this
must be to win.
Tho South Dakota members do not take
to tho proposition of attaching the state
to Iowa, na Is tho wish of Collector Peter
son, but would like to have the stato with
North Dakota coupled In one district, to
be known ns tho Dakota district, with head
quarters at somo point accessible to both
states. Nebraska under tho plan as out
lined by Peterson would (lock all by itself,
or else would have to Join with Iowa on tho
oast or Colorado on tho west.
Congressmen Payne nnd Dalzell were of
the opinion Hint It would require specific
legislation to accomplish this division, but
Commissioner Yerkes Is understood to hold
differently. Ho far as can bo learned there
has been little done toward accomplishing
tho division of tho Nebraska district, but
Sioux City and St. Paul arc back of the
movement and they mean business.

Ii one i-it I ll-ifm In Oiioirl,
Tho nomination of General Bates was
among tho first to be considered and Sen
ator Pettlgrew opposed conflimatlon be
cause of tho fact that General Bates had
negotiated the treaty with the sultan of
Sulu, which treaty tho senator criticised
sharply. General Bates' military record
was read at tho Instance of the committee,
but Mr. Pettlgrew based his objection en
tirely upon the action of the treaty. None
of the other nominations were taken up,
but Incldentnl rcferenco was made to Gen
eral Wood's nomination because of tho fact
that he was promoted over so many officers
of higher rank in the regular army.
