HEARERS CRANE NECKS
laser to Hear Every Word Mrs.
Hamilton Wrote to Amorous Old
Millionaire Doctor Says
'He Was Paranoiac.
(
CLINTON', HI., Feb. 13. When the trial
whs resumed today of the $2,000,000 suit
instituted by Richard Snell to break the
will of his father, Colonel Thomas Snell,
more love letters were introduced in evi
dence. The letters were read to the Jury
find spectators crowded forward, craning
their necks to catch every word. It is
paid the purpose of reading the letters is
to show that Colonel Snell was insane
about women.
"Own Little Girl" Preacher's Wife.
Host of the letters read today are
signed simply, "Your own little girl,"
and the others bear no signature. They
are admitted in evidence as having been
written by Mrs. Laura Hamilton, wife of
Rev. E. A. Hamilton. The letters express
the ardent love of the writer for the aged
millionaire and Invariably couple protes
tations of affection with the request for
money.
Soon after the beginning of the trial,
llr. Hamilton resigned his pastorate and
the couple went away. It is believed
they went to Florida.
Judge Cochran, who is hearing the case,
and who is an ordained Methodist min
ister and the lifelong friend of Mr. Ham
ilton, sat with averted face as the letters
were read today.
Following the reading of the letters, a
liyphnthetical question of 2800 words was
read to Dr. Archibald Church, of Chicago,
an alienist. The question dealt mainly
with the unsigned letters attributed to
Mrs. Hamilton.
Snell a Paranoiac.
Dr. Church was asked whether, in his
opinion, If a man received such letters
and made the notations found on them,
Furh as "The best letter she has ever
written," and "Very important," and
"This is a sweet one," he could be con
sidered sane. The question also recited
colonel Snell's alleged dislike for his son
Richard, and his lavish gifts to Mabelle
Snell McNamara, of Kansas City, his
faverite grandniece.
Dr. Church said he considered Colonel
Snell a paranoiac, subject to "exag
gerated ego."

PARALYZED BY INJUNCTION
Five Towns and Many Industries
Left in Darkness.
EL CENTRO. Cal., Feb. 13. A
lengthy resolution, describing: the dis
astrous effect upon the community of
the injunction granted by Judge Well
born of the United States Circuit Court,
dosing the canal of the Holton Power
Company, was unanimously adopted at
a mass meeting last night and tele
graphed to Judge Wellborn. The
resolution, after reciting that the mat
ter was being handled by the candle
light, continued:
"The court's action extinguishes the
lights of five towns, stops work in all
the creameries in the valley, shuts
down a brick-making plant requiring
30 horsepower, closes a large steam
laundry, stops the "Wheels in machine
shops, shuts off forges and pumps, pre
vents the refrigeration of meat sup
plied to the people by butchers, threat
ens the loss of 220 tons of lee now in
hand, and deprives the people of that
indispensable commodity, shuts off the
domestic water supply of. at least one
large town, checks industry of all sorts
by depriving of light and power a ter
ritory 25 miles long by 12 miles wide,
and containing a. population of at
least 15.000, and works great injury
to a thriving, industrious community,
without doinpr the slightest practical
good to a single hyman being. No re
lief by means of auxiliary steam power
is possible inside of 90 days, and then
the cost of light and power would be
prohibitive.
"Resolved, That we believe the
court was not fully informed of con
ditions when it sought to dry up the
Salton Sea by injunction."

Advertising, Fictitious Title and
Shadowy Fortune.
LONDON, Feb. 13. A bogus Ameri
can "colonel," Schlemangk, has been
sentenced by the Criminal Court to
three years' imprisonment, the loss of
his civil rights for five years after his
release and to perpetual police super
vision, as well as to pay a fine of $330,
Schiemangk having been convicted of
wholesale marriage swindles by means

ceeded in obtaining considerable sums
of money from women.
Schiemangk was born in Germany,
but served in the First Artillery, U. S.
A. He was promoted to non - com
missioned officer, but finally deserted.
He is an accomplished linguist, and
represented himself "as Count Maximili
an de Passy. He asserted that he was
a colonel in the American Army and
was acting as military attache at the
American embassy in Berlin. By the
display of fraudulent bills and checks
to the face value of millions, he man
aged to delude' several women into
ueeking a brilliant marriage.
The evidence in the courts showed
that the man had already erved terms
in the penitentiary, where he made the
acquaintance of a notorious criminal,
Amandus Hoppe, who assisted him in
carrying out his schemes. The latter
was sentenced to six months in prison
asan accomplice.
