Mrs. Hamilton came to Richmond with her children to Intercede with the governor for the commutation of Hamilton's sentence. The crime for which Hamilton was electrocuted was committed in Lynchburg, Va., June LI. 1909. Hamilton had been infatuated with the woman and she had sought to free! herself from him. On that night Mrs. liix went to a dance. llamilton followed her to the hall. On the way home Hamilton shot her I several times. He was 2f> year of age. tlilld 1 Jitxir. Rver since Sir Robert Reel in 1 802 | introduced and carried the that legislation to limit the hours of labor for children the question of child \ labor lias been to the Tront. The | realization that the employment of children of tender years is detrimen- | la! to their physical mental and moral welfare, and therefore to thai of society in general has led to one | restriction after another l>eing imposed by most of the states in the union and by nations generally. As a consequence many of the abusei incident to child labor have been, ither materially lessened or entirely removed. Yet facts are constantly coming to light showing that even today many thousands of cn.ldren, many of them hut little more thin infants, are working In factories or in close, ill-ventilated tenements. 1 What that means as to health and 1 morals no one ran fail to see. Those children should he at school, developing their minds, and living under conditions whrehy their whole heing may he advauc d. That this is not the case is a reproach to our humanity. Of course the immediate responsibility for these condition rests with those employers who pay such starvation wages, 'specially in some industries, that every member of the family has to help u. k?ep body and soul together. i'n. principal suffers from this cupi li'v are the foreign born people in our lace cit ics who, being ignorant of AiroiI mii customs and laws, art* casM> :> posed upon. Hut no state can, in its own interests, afford to have sueii conditions continue. The well-being of any state and community depends ii|>on the physical and other wellbeing of its citizens. It requires no great discernment to ouUistand that children whose whoo being is stunted by hard work can ever '?ecoine strong, healthy an-' do ;l aid? men and women. . Rejected Itim; lie Killed Her.

Frantically defiant, even while the shadows of death closed arouuJ him, and volley after volley from the new Springfield rifles of two State militia companies made a solve of the walls of his humble home. \V. H. llo?t wick, a white desperado at Irwinvllle, Oa., who observed his Inst Sunday on eartn by the murder of two officers of the law and the serious wounding of three others, paid the penalty o; death shortly after 5 o'clock Monday morning. He succumbed to muny woundg received from the volleys fired into the building early during the night by a mob of int'nrlated citizens or from those of the military, which began an attack after four o'clock Monday morning Almost at the same moment Sheriff J. P. Mclnis of Irwin County, who was wounded Sunday, while making a desperate attempt to remove a wounded fellow officer from the deadly Are of Host wick, expired. J.ts. Oill, another officer, was added to the list of wounded during the early fusilade Monday morning, but it is beleived he will recover. Surrounded by his Rix little shildren. whom he held prisoners almost to the end of the selge. Hostwick, who had declared his lnten nun oi aying rnuier than submit to arrest 011 the charRe of attempting to murder his brother-in-law. fought the battle to the last ditch. Knowing that death was near, the desperate man finally allowed the fear stricken children to leave the house. However, after they were under the protection of the military officers, they refused to talk of the events of the night. Capt. Chas. A. Delang, 'commanding the {Fitzgerald Guards, described the uneven battle of one desperate man against an equally determined host in a vivid manner. Capt. Delatig's original instruc- j tions from Adjt. Gen. Scott were to await the arrival of the AlbanyGuards before taking any steps to capture Hostwick. Upon arriving at Boatwick's home, however, he found ?he mob in such a temper that he deemed immediate action absolutely necessary. He first called upon Bostwicx to surrender, offering him protection from the mob, but the demand was stoutly refused, even though accompanied by a threat to take the besieged man dead or alive. The officer then demanded that the children be allowed to leave the house, hut Hostwick also refused this demand. rh? n*i~ . iiv Hue urn's naa spent the entire night huddled close to the floor rearing at any moment that they would be the victim ot bullets from the guns of the enraged people. Capt. Delang ordered his men to Are a volley into the roof of the house, following which another demand for surrender and release 01 the children was made upon Hostwick, who replied with a shot from one of the three weapons, with which he was armed. Then came anothei volley from the soldiery, which caused Hurt wick to ark that the lives of the children be not endangered. The six childreu were then permitted to leave the house, and were taken iu charge by the soldiers. They would answer no questions. The oldest daughter. Jennie, who had spent the long night attempting to shield the younger children, cried because one ot tin* younger bo>s had been forced to leave the house without his trousers, and the oldest hoy was ill. The children heiug taken co a ,.r ... ? npi. iieinng ana in demanded that Hostwick surrender, hut the only reply wan a shot from the heseiged man. Then the soldiers tired a volley into tJhe lower portion of the house. . A moment later officers observed that a shingle hud been removed from the roof, this probahiy being done by Host wick in order to fire to better advantage. A hail of lead was thrown into the roof, followed by a thud, which indicated that Hostwick had fallen to the floor. Observers then called attention to the fact that an object was seen moving tdi rough a hole in the floor, and a volley was fired in that direction. A rush of the troops was then directed, the belief being that Hostwick had lieen injured, but this, was stopped by a shot from the building, which struck James Hill, who was cared for by a physician. Oelnng's men then fired into the building several times. Several men then attempted to enter the building, but were greeted bj a final shot from Hoatwick. The Albany company then arrived on the scene and u rn?.h upon the building was made from all directious. The doors were broken J fTT. ?r? ' J ^ > a . open and Bostwick was found upon the floor and although he had passed the point of resistance, "ltd could not even give utterane to thoughts, the expression on his features was oue of death defying determination. He had foyg-ht the battle of life and death and lost, but if his superhuman nerve failed hiiu once there was no indication of the fact. . Death claimed the desperado shortly after the final rush of the troops. The Sabbath day tragedies and the final battle scene occurred four miles weal of Irwinville. In the crowd that eathered around tiie beseiged home were tile moat prominent women of the community. These did not remain at the scene for the purpose of witnessing bloodshed, but their hearts went out to the children who were forcibly confined in the home. There were stern, determined faces in that crowd of fully five hundred mothers. many of whom would have defied the deadly fire of the Springfield's before they would have allowed one of the children to be Injured. The attitude of the women resulted from a misunderstanding of orders issued by Adjt. Gen. Scott, who instructed the two companies not to fire from a distance and endanger the children. This misunderstanding of the orders caused Governor Joseph M. llrown to be the recipient of many telegrams of protest during the day. Immediately following Hostwick's death a coroner's jury was empanelled to Investigate the tragedy. The verdict was that Host wick killed himself in order to prevent being captured. Whether he died from self-lntUcted woutii's. received the wounds <luring the tight with citizens I or succumbed to the fire of the Springfields may never be known. The children doubtless know whether the father was wounded before t.he arrival of the soldiery, but they would make no statement. Many acts of heroism wete recorded during the bloody Beige, most notable among these being that of Sheriff Mclnnis. Seeing his deputy. T. C. Bans. fall, and thinking he was mortally wounded. Sheriff Mclnnis rushed from cover and took llass to a place of safety, and in so doing J-eceived the wound which caused his death. He then proceeded to a neighbor- ( ing telephone and attempted to coiumunieaie wiuh Adjt. Gen. Scott, at Atlanta. He wan unable to talk. I however, and in whispers dictated the message which caused the Adjutant General to order out the I troops. Bust wick literally died with his "boots on." and not until his ammunition, which he had retrenched by forcing one of his children to face ' the ftre of the mob and take a pistol and cartridges from the body of one of the dead soldiers, was exhausted, did he cease tiring. Almost in his last breath, be sent one tinal shot in the direction of the invaders. Ill l.l.KTS HIT MNK. One i*rinri|>al Bend. Other l>ying and < Bystanders Wounded.
