The defense failed to introduce any evidence this morning other than-tlie placing of Assistant Cor poration Counsel John BS. lilair on the stand to testify as to the rul ings on the street speakingordi nances by Police Judge Mann. The defense was limited to arguments by counsel, both attacking the val idity of the street speaking ordi nance as being unconstitutional and declaring that the I. W.

Deputy Prosecutor Kizer, who. with Mr. Blair, handled the state's case, attacked the I. \V.

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1910 WOMAN WHO- LURED ORHS HAMILTON TO FLORENCE MOORE. SEATTLE, Jan. 22;— Giggling, simpering and as vulgarly vivacious as ever, Florence Moore, who lured Ortis Hamilton to v felon's cell, is back in Seattle. She is back, broke but serenely happy and confident that, her financial worries are soon to he dissipated. And down in Olympia, Ortis Ham ilton, former adjutaant general, as sociate of gentlemen, a husband and (a father, sitting out the hours which are between him and the penitentiary—from one to 10 yean, the penalty says. Florence Moore is staying with a Mrs. Henderson, who came with her. When seen by a reporter this morning, this "woman who didn't care" was In a happy mood. Just as a matter of elephantine coquettishness she at first denied her identity, having no difficulty in giving her denials a vast air of sliir Cerity. At the proper time, she gra ciously confessed that she was "Mrs. Moore," and extended a hearty invitation to "come in and have a drink." "What do you think of the sen tence imposed on Ortis Hamilton?" was the first question asked after the necessary preliminaries, "Te-he-he." she rippled, in Clumsy, girlish affectation. "It was rather rough, wasn't it?" And then she looked dreamily out of the window, while a reminiscent smile played over her features'. That she had no thought of the man she sent to the bottom is cer tain. As a bit of Information, Ham ilton's sentence interested her, but as she hummed, keeping time with her foot, there was no indication of regret, even for the passing of a "good fellow." "Where did you come from?" was the next question. Playfully and almost daintily she affected to scratch her head with a highly polished forefinger, while iter face took on the stern look of rec ollection. She was play acting, try ing to be funny, but the thought of Hamilton, "the fool," made it tragic. "I don't remember where 1 came from," she finally answered.
