THE ASSASSIN GIVES HIMSELF Up.
About 25 minutes after the shooting,
Sergeant Frank Mcdonald was standing
In tho Office Of tho Despiaines street po-
lice station. Every available officer had
already hurried out to work on tho case
and Mcdonald was preparing to follow.
The door was pushed gently open and in
walked q small, smooth-shaven, poorly
dressed man, carrying o revolver in his
hand. He shook like n man with the
palsy. His face was white aud drawn.
Great drops of perspiration chased ono
another down his face, and his tottering
limbs seemed scarcely able to hold him
up. Looking Mcdonald straight in the
eyes, he said:

'You did it," asked Mcdonald.
"Yes. did"
"Did what ?" said the officer. as he laid
ono hand on tho fellows shoulder and
with the other took tho revolver.

Prendergast was trembling so he could
hardly stand and the Off Ger led him 10

the occupants crowded and pushed their
way into the Office. The personal friends
of the dead mayor, city officials, and the
curious crowded against each other In
tho wild cndcavor to learn IL tho story,
which had spread like wildiiro through
the city, was true. An immense throng
gathered, and laboring men who stopped
on the way home added their voices TO the
subdued threats of vengeance, FOR
Mr.. Harrison was popular with the
masses. Tho streets were soon
filled for blocks, and the officers, ns
they looked out of station windows upon
the surgng sea OF angry faces, became
alarmed for the safety OF their prisoner.
/ A hasty conference was held and IL was
