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.

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." Thoso who enjoy a
good play welt played and splendidly staged
nro ndvtsed that theso requirements are
forthcoming In "Theodora," and to miss tt
Is to miss a raro treat.
