The yury vioaassd the Law In Yesser-
days Elscston-

CHICAGO. Dec. 19-This was dark
day for Patrick Eugene Prcndcrgast-
His defense Of insanity was weakened
by tbs testimony OF DIR. Dewey. ex-
superintendent Of the insane asylum at
Kankakee. Illinois. by the cross examin-
stion Of Experts Church and Brewer
and by the testimony OF large number
OF witnesses called by the state in re-
buttal. The defense closed its case with
the exception OF DIR. Meyers Testimony.
He could not be found today. DIR.
Church. one Of the insanity experts. ex.
amined yesterday and originally EN-
ployed by the state, was recalled by the
defense. He said. In answer to the
hypothecal questions presented, that
Prendergast was insane. Then the
physician was shown the letters written
by the defendant and said the chirogra-
ply bore evidences OF n diseased mind. The
contents sshowed thatt the writer was labor
ing under deiusion. When Mr.. Trude
got at the doctor the evidence did not
look az strong. The keen sighted lawyer
had discovered pjncil marks under the
ink writing. showing that Prcndergast
had first written Ia pencil and then
traced over the wordsin ink. DIR. Church
admitted that this form Of handwriting
was not manifestation OF insanity. 1t
showed deliberation and forethought-
Cumulative testimony to prove the
responsibility OF Prendcrgast was given
by many persons coming In contact with
him ia connection with his work for
newspaper Malicious destruction OF
property. and cunning yere proven by
the witnesses.
Seven az fbs vnembers NJ ths prender-

have Ear reaching cffock - IL 10 in op-
position 10 what was considered to bo
the ideas Of the court on the subject
and also In. opposition to the jury law
which requires that q jury shall remain
together. 1t may possibly form the
basis Of an appeal for new trial in the
event Of a conviction Of the prisoner.
The jurymen were escorted to the poll
ing places early in the morning by court

APPEAL TO NATIONAL GUARD


otutr w toc OopNosuss
LANSING. Mich. Dec. la-The follow
ing circular has been issued by Adult
ant General Eaton and addressed to the
captains Of the several companies OF the
Michigan National Guard:
Sui am directed by the comman-
der.in-chief, Governor Rich, TO call at
tsntion OF the Michigan National Guard

queucs OF the closing down OF the mines.
are without employment. and with their
families are suffering for the lack OF
food and clothing. While our people
are responding nobly all over the state
TO these demands upon their generosity.
ID is believed that concerted action on
the part OF officers and men comprising
our military force would result in rails
ing such an amount OF supplies as
would not only go great way toward
meeting present needs. but would anoed
an opportunity for charitable e6ort Of
which they would gladly avail them-
selves. and which could not fail to be
appreciated by the benehciariss thereof.
II is suggested that commanding ofii-
GERS appoint committees. to act in con-
junction with local committees, where
such are already formed. or independ-
emily il deemed more advantageous. and
that the good work be at once begun
and carried on with that zeal and
energy which 10 characteristic OF the
men who have by the same display OF
activity now required brought our mill
tary system up to its present high stan
dard OF excellence.
That the commander -in-chief may be
informed commanding officers will
please report action taken in view Of
above Recommendation
A tabulated and detailed statement
win be published at the proper time for
the information OF all interested.
