THAT He BE HANGED.
Recommendation of the Jury in the Prem.
dergast Case.

Chicago, December 29.-Prendergast
looked like hunted animal this morn
ing. So great was the crowd that three
ladies sat beside the judge and Assistant
States Attorney Todd had to occupy the
witness chair. Mr.. Trude resumed his
speech for the prosecution. He paid
particular attention to the religious dis
position displayed by the prisoner and
showed the contrast between his pro-
testations of Christianity and his cruelty
to boys smaller than himself. Mr.. Trude
called attention to the similarity of the
two assassins, Guiteau and Prendergast
and said "Guiteau killed Garfield to
win the applause of the Stalwarts and
satisfy his morbid desire Tor notoriety.
This man committed murder expecting
that his deed would meet with approval
bitter in denouncing the late mayor
when he was candidate for office.n Mr..
Trude concluded by stating that
Chicago looked for verdict in which
she did not ask for vengeance, but
simple, absolute and Independent justice.
The court then delivered the charge,
and an at 1.25 P, m: the case was given to
court at 23S p. m. with verdict of
guilty and recommended that the
/ prisoner be hanged. There was no scene
in court when the verdict was an
nounced. The prisoner uttered no word
and seemed to betray no feeling or
anxiety.
Shortly after Prendergast arrived at
the Jail he was called on by his brother.
The meeting between the brothers was
painful. During the evening Messrs.
McGoorty, Essex and Heron called upon
their client and talked to him in man
ner calculated to cheer him up The
sentence seems to have cowed the as
sassin and broken his spirit. From the
evening of October 2S, when PrendergasG
murdered the city's mayor, until the
end of the trial today he seems to have
dreaded that through some negligence of
the police or sheriff's deputies, he might
have become the victim of mob violence.
Attorney Wade has entered formal
motion for new trial, which will be
argued next week.

There were many officers present at the

that not more than one of them knew of

Three Receivers Named.

Boston, December 29.-Judge Colt
today appointed .Messrs. Platt and Hart
receivers for the New York & New Eng
land, and third receiver, Mr.. Marsden
j. Perry, the bonds to be $50, 900 each.
Judge Colt said he did not see how the
appointment Of either Mr.. Platt or Mr.
Hart would secure unanimity of action.
He said: ''It seems to me the appoint
ment of either Mr.. Platt or Mr. Hart
would operate injuriously for the prop.
erty. There are conflicting interests.
It would seem from the earnestness
with which counsel press for the ap-
pointment, that there must be something
back of these efforts. Neither party
should be allowed any advan
tage and therefore think that Mr.
Piatt and Mr.. Hart should be appointed
with third receiver"

TRIED TO POISON THE FAMILY.
Adele Egge Was the Only Victim of Her
Crime.

Grand Island, Neb., December 29.-
Adele Egge, daughter of widow, died
from the effects of strychnine poisoning
yesterday morning, and it appears that
the girl meditated poisoning the whole
family. While mixing the batter pre-
paratory to making cakes, Adele emptied
the contents of phial into it. The first
batch Of cakes were done, and the fami-
ly, of mother, sister and brother, sat
down to partake of the morning meal.
Adele's sister Maggie spoke of bitter
taste in the cakes. Adele, apparently
realizing what she had done, rose and
ran from the house. This aroused sus-
picion, and the rest did not eat the cakes
and a physician was summoned. Shortly
after the doctor arrived, Adele died in
awful agony. Powerful emetics were
administered to Maggie, and it is thought
that she will recover.
