Trial of Prendergast, Carter Harri-
sons Murderer, Postponed.
WILL BEGIN THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY
The Plea of the Defense viii Be
Insanity.
WITNESSES FROM ELSEWHERE

CHICAGO, Nov. s-The trial Of Prender-
CAST, the slayer Of Mayor Harrison. has
been postponed until Monday, November q.
Long before the hour set for the opening
Of Judge Edward F. DUNES court, in the
old criminal court. this morning. crowd
gathered on the sidewalk opposite. and
tried to run the gauntlet of detectives.
baiiiffs and deputy sheriffs stationed at
every door.
After some minor cases had been disposed
Of the name Of Patrick Eugene Prendergast
was called The assassin of Mayor Harri-
son was brought in, surrounded by deputy
sheriffs and seated in a chair close to the
jury.
His entrance was the signal for a general
rising of the spectators, and craning. and
low murmur.
Prendergast presented stolid Indifference
TO what was going on, and except for his
shifting eyes neither moved nor betrayed
any emotion
r. A. Wade, who Is attorney for the Wash
fngton Park Club, and Robert Essex ap-
peared as counsel for the murderer. They
were retained by Prendergasts brother at
the solicitation of personal friends OF the
lawyers.
When Judge Dunno asked the prisoner If
he was represented by a lawyer Mr.. Wade
rose and addressed the court in the assas-
sins behalf. He spoke as lawyers for the
defense are expected to. about believing that
Prendergast had a good defense, but 1t
would take time to prepare it. He did not
want to delay the trial, but his client was
entitled to fair one.
Not even the friends of the Harrison
family wanted the state to hurry the trial
and hang the man without a thorough ex-
animation into his mental condition. He
thought thirty days were not too much
time in which to prepare the defense.
When the court asked If the defense
could not get ready in less time the law
yer replied that il was necessary to bring
witnesses from outside Chicago, who could
testify to the life and history of the pris-
Oner.
The statement aroused States Attorney
Kern to say that Prendergast had lived
In Chicago nine years, and the proposition
that the state should wait month for
witnesses to be brought from other cities
was not reasonable. If Prendergast mad
plenty of witnesses here who would testify
as to his responsibility. That was the test
1T is one thing or nothing, insanity or
nothing" declared the states attorney.
Speaking to the counsei for the prisoner,
he added: Il am guessing at that from
what you say
Lawyer wade-"Your guess is right; in
sanity Is our plea
The states attorney wanted the trial set
for two weeks from today.
After more argument and jury speech
from Lawyer Wade. the court compromised
on three weeks time, setting the trial for
Monday. November a.
frendergaSt was removed over the
bridge of signs" without any demonstra-
ton.
