MIXNNEAPOL.IS, Minn., Feb. 12. Tha prosecution In tho Hamilton murder caso reeled today after Introducing tho sensa tional testimony of Officer Thomas J. Hoo ney, who testified as follows: "When 1 entered the billiard room that morning Watchman O'Malley said to me: 'Officer, tako this man and lock hlra up; ho did It.' 1 said 'Did what?" 'Did this,' ho replied, leading mo to whero Day's dead body lay on a btlllurd table. I took hold of Hamilton' coat sleevo and told hlra to coma alone. Ho was sitting In a chair In tha bar room. Someone suggested delay, but Hamilton got up and said: 'I will go with you; let tho law tako lta course. I'll tako tha consequences. I did It In self do fense.' " Itooncy then repeated Hamilton's confes sion to him as follows: "Hamilton said to mo: 'This trouble Is nil on account of a girl, Miss nntl then lio gave her name. 'Wo had both been Bolng with her. 1 told lier Buy wus In III health. Hhti told him. Ho got sorn and hun had It In for mo ever since. Feel of this luni Day did that. I had to do him. I could not stand and lot him beat mo und do nothing.' "Afterward ho said; 'This Is terrible; 1 wish It had been tho other way.' " 'What other way?' I naked. " 'That ho had killed mo Instead of I him.' "Than ho nsked mo to feel of that lump again nnd told me that Day had done It, but ho did not know whnt with. 1 said 'It rooniH to me a man llko you could havo taken care of a slim man like that without using a knlfo.' " 'I would It his friends had not Jumped onto mo, ho. nnswered, 'as It was, I hud to do It to savo myself.' "Aftor a while Mr. Francis came; ho wanted to talk with Hamilton. 1 said that bo might, but that It must bo In my pres ence. Francis said: 'Keep your mouth shut. Don't sny a word till you sro mo ngaln. Lot mo sco your knife.' Hamilton produced a small knife. Francis nsked htm If ho had another knlfo. Ho sold 'No.' Then Francis asked: 'Did you havo a largo knlfo?' nnd Hamilton answered 'Yes.' Noth ing was said about when ho had tho largo knlfo or whero It wob." Tliry Jlcfimi'il lo I'lulit. On cross-examination the witness could not locato tho place whero the confession was made. As his memory was not clear on somo other dotatls dofense endeavored to show his memory was not of tho best. Ho said Hamilton sepmed to bo Intoxicated and ho observed n lump on his forehead nnd un abrasion of the skin. Tuo crowd this morning lilted tho court room. Kalph Gary, recalled, was the first witness of the day. He could nut Identity tho big knlfo and declared he had iiovcr seen tt. He corroborated Orny's testimony of yes terday that at a certain Juncture after the killing there was no ono nenr the body. Ernest W. Ituel, night rlurk of tho West hotel, testified that he was playing pool with the Day party, but 6aw only a part of the trouble. He heard what Day had said to Hamilton, an tho first meeting, but did not hcr tho latter's replies. Ho saw tho HrBt scuffle and heard Day rofuso to fight because Hamilton was not sober. Ills recol lection of tho affair nnd the persons thero corroborated, so far as It went, tho evi dence of the state's other witnesses. J. W. Dennett, tho traveling man, was rerallud. He denied emphatically that he had said to Hamilton, ns Witness Oray had clnlmed csterduy: "Tho man Is dead; you killed him." Ilobcrt C. Hill, night police reporter on tho Tribune, gave somo Important evidence. Ho had gono to tho hotel to "cover" tho case. Thoro hu saw Hamilton nnd Dennett. Tho latter was excited nnd hysterical and acted ns If ho had been drinking. Witness was a personal friend of Hamilton and talked with him nt once. Ho testified ns follows: "I proffered my services to Hamilton and offered to do anything I could for him. I added that while thlng3 looked bad for him, he had hotter cheor up. Then I asked him If he did It. Ho said, 'I don't know whether I did or not.' Ho ndded something to tho effect that It was 'all off" nnd that ho wns 'up against It,' or something like that. I said, 'Is that your knlfo?' 'No,' ho said," The witness stated that ho had advised Hamilton to say nothing about tho case. After ex-Patrolman Ilooney had given his evidence ns nbovo County Attorney Hoard man said: "Tho stato rests." Court was then adjourned till 10 tomor row In order to give tho defenso a llttlo time to nrrungc. Tomorrow tho defense will open with an address by Robert L. Penney. Kvcry effort Is being mndo to hnvo A. M. Ilurbe, tho Bt. Louis traveling man, brought hero to testify. His evidence Is said to bo of tho highest Importanco to the defense. Ham ilton, It Is said, will tako the stand and give his version of tho fight which ended In Day's death. BAD BLOOD, BAD COMPLEXION. The skin is the seat of nn almost end less variety of diseases. They ure knovrn by various nutnes, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisous in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have n smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash nnd the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for n short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Eternal vigtianoo is tho pnico of a boautlful oomploxlon when such remedies ore relied on, Mr. 11, T. Shobe, 3704 l.ucm Avenue, St, I,ouli, Mo., says : "My daughter was afflicted for yearn with n disfiguring eruption on licr fnce, which eaiated all treatment, She wns taken to two celebrated health spring, but received 110 bene. fit. Many medicines were prescribed, lni with out result, until we decided to try S. S, 8., and ly the time the first bottle w as finisned the eruption begun to disappear. A dozen tattles cured her completely and left her skin perfectly smooth. She Is now seventeen years old, nnd not a sign of the embarrassing discaae has ever returned," 8. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is tlie greatest of nil blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

Fair Antonln Miss Mary Dan ten Tamyrlx Miss Lillian Dlx Although something like (en or more years have elapsed since Sardou wroto "Theodora" and Madam Bernhardt created tho namo part, It was seen for tha first time In this city Tuesday night. Not only Is the play now to local patrons of tho drama, but It serves as well to Introduce to us n new and decidedly promising star In tho person of Minnie Tlttell lirune, who until last night was practically an unknown quantity In this section. However, Mrs. llruno had little trouble, with the aid of her wonderfully magnetic personality, In estab lishing herself In tho. favor of her audi ence almost beforo her first scene was finished, and by tho time the curtain fell upon tho last act sbo had completely capti vated them with her brilliant work. For tho benefit of those curious to know whero Mrs. Drunn halls from, It may bo said that sho has been a favorite upon the Pa cific coast, where for somo time she played In stock companies. Sho Is a San Francisco girl and scored her first real triumph last' seasou, when she toured the south and west as a co-star with the well known tragedian, Frederick Ward. But to return to last night's performance and tho play ltBelf. "Theodora" Is not un llko all of tho other Sardou tragedies In that It has murder for Its dominant themo nnd Is replete with whnt might be termed "creepy" scenes, which, with tho realistic treatment given them by Mrs. Bruno and her company, would bo tho means of playing havoc with n person of nervous tempera ment. Yet this Is what the majority of thcntcr-goerB want. They do not seem to mind a nervous shock so long as tho moral feelings are not played upon. As Theodora, the comedienne, tho circus rider who Is elevated to tha position of an empress through force of circumstances, Mrs. llruno Is given opportunities which she grasps ns only a true artist can. The utter abandon with which sho handles her lighter scenes, and tho dignity nnd graco of tho heavier ones, provo her versatility beyond question or cavil. Summed up as u whole, her performance last night was nothing short of n personal triumph. Whllo there nro a number of varied charade In tho piece, the principal part of Mrs. Kruno's support fulls upon the shoulders of threo people, E. L. Sncader, John Sturgeon and Hudson Liston, who appear creditably as AndreaH, Murcellus and Justlman, respect ively. Tho production Is ono of the very best that has been seen In tho theater this sea son, not excepting that given by Bernhardt and Coquelln In "La Tosco," and falls llttlo short of being elaborate. Tho four-horse Roman stnudlng race In tho fifth act Is a decidedly thrilling spectacle. mis ariornoon .Mrs. tiruue win appear as Cleopatra, whllo tho engagement will close with performances tonight and Thursday night of "Theodora."
