Jan. 1 (Spe cial.) "That the deceased Rachel Engle came to her death on Monday, January 14, at 4:30 p. m., from the effects of a gunshot wound In the back. Inflicted by John G. Hamlin on August 3, laoS." is the verdict returned by a coroner's Jury in the death of the young girl who was shot during carnl.a, week by nn alleged unrequited admirer. It is believed that John Hamlin Intended to shoot both the girl and Charles A. Smith the young man who) was walking by her sld- at the time of the shooting. It Is the first time any testimony hns been taken In the case. It showed that six young people were! on the way down town at 8 o'clock on the evening of August 8 to mingle with the carnival crowd. Two young women. Miss Engle and Miss Dunham, and four young men. Miss Engie's 16-year-old brother, Smith and Hamlin, both boarders at the home of the girl's parents, and Stephen Orover Cleveland Williams, as he gave his name to the Jury, also a lad of only 16 years. On the way down the party. without any preconcerted plan, shifted somewhat as to their walking side by side. and Smith was walking near the Engle girl and Miss Dunham, when Hamlin, accord ing to all of the witnesses, stepped aside as If to light a cigar under the protection of a car It was near the Union Pacific crossing of Walnut street and . suddenly pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired two sliots. One entered Miss Engie's back aboutJnlhe center, severed the spinal cord and she has been completely paralysed from a little below the walBt ever since. Death finally resulted from sepsis. Six physicians swore unqualifiedly that death resulted from the wound and that the treatment given by the attending physi cian and surgeon was all that could be done for hor. Hamlin at the time escaped, though pursued a short distance by Smith, but was the next evening captured at Dan nebrog. He did not deny the shooting, but stated that there Is something back of It that the people do not know. It Is believed the 'defense will be insanity. Hamlin was much disturbed last night when he heard the girl had died, but, while the sheriff took extra precautions, thero.,18 no genera! talk of not . permitting thV law to take Its course. The charge of shootlrg with Intent to kill will, no doubti upon this development, be changed to mur der In the first degree. and Drugs Law Hal N, fl."V DOVGLAS iwawMWMMaasisiiiisirs!
