VERDICT I THE ESGLE CASK
John Hamlin Held an Chareje of Mar
derlna- 4rand Island Woman.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. 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.

Entering the army as a member of the
Eleventh Ohio volunteer cavalry, he put in
four years of the best service a sturdy,
zealous young patriot of the Ohio stamp
could reuder. And when the war was over
he tarried for a few months In his native
state and then again exemplified the at
tributes of a wise young man by coming
west. It was September 6, 1866, that he
landed in Omaha. On that day last year
Major Furay recalled to his son Frank
that he had been in Omaha Just forty
years. Captain Furay it was then, for he
had won the rank in the army. Captain
Furay engaged in the grocery buslnesa In
Omaha and he set up shop at Sixteenth
and Dodge streets .on part of the site of
the present federal building. In that store
he remained until 1S69, when Uncle Sara
again called him. This was a call to a
peaceable field of endeayor, that of post
office Inspector. He was an ardent repub
lican then and waa the same throughout
his life, always taking an active hand In
political affairs. Ho held the Inspector
ship until 1884. While in this office he
spread his acquaintance over a very wide
part of the west. About eighteen years ago
he served in the city council and was a
member of the Bpard of Public Works,
then facetiously known as the. "Board of
Majors."
Major Fjjxay was a member ot the Grand

of fire engine company No. 6. His old
structure was rased to make room for the
fire house. This old stable used to be the
stopping place for the farmers coming to
town along the Cuming street road. Meet,
