WOULD HAVE KILLED CLEVELAND,
This In a Theory Put Forward By
Prendereast's Lawyer.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Todd oc.
cupied most OF the day in the Prenderxast
case at Chicago yesterday with the opening
speech for the prosecution. He said that
there was no compromise ground for the
jury to consider; that the prisoner vas
guilty or murder or nothing. and there
could be no reason for a penitentiary sen.
tence.
Attorney Essex for PrenderEast followed
ana held the close attention OF the Jury
whlie he went over the evidence and
brought numerous good reasons for support
or the theory that his client was not nc.
countable for what he did.
The most startling statement made By
Mr.. Essex was that he believed that II
Prepdergast could have gone to washinR-
ton at the time OF the great interest In tho
silver legislation during the special ses-
sion of Congress last summer he would
have killed Cleveland.
He did not have the money 60 get here
and so confined his attention toward aoinr
what his impuisive deiusion told him wac
for the best good OF the public by killing
the man who. In his diseased mind. stood
I'm the way of his becoming corporation
counsel and thus prevented the elevation
OF the railroad tracks.
The court adjourned before Mr.. Essex haA
finished speaking.

POPE LEO IN GOOD HEALTH.
A Check to Immediate Speculation
Concerning His Successor.

The Rome correspondent of the Paris
Gaulois says that the clearness and vibrat-
ing force of the pope's voice when he spoke
before the Sacred College on Saturday sur
prised all hearers, and must put stop to
immediate speculation concerning his sue
cessor. This speculation has been center
ing upon Cardinal Monaco la Valletta,"
continues the correspondent, but the con-
fidence of his supporters weakens with the
sustained health of the pope, for the cardi-
nal seems to be on the verge Of a decline
Cardinal Serafino Vannuteli Is becoming
first favorite among those interested. Next
to him comes Cardinal Parocchi."

loudly denounced District Attorney Birney

days Police Raid.
Regulars Loud in Denouncing Dis
trtct Attorney Birney-Only One
Book Made NO Interest.

AS stated in yesterdays Star, Mr.. George
H. Engeman and his associates Of the Ivy
City Jockey Club were yesterday afternoon
shown that District Attorney Birney meant
just what he said when he declared that.
until overruled by the courts. there should
be no betting done at the Ivy City track,
either within or beyond the one-mile limit.
And, as also mentioned in yesterdays Star,
Engeman and mis- followers were shown 1t
by the prompt arrest and Incarceration Of
the only bookmaker who had the courage to
do business yesterday, together with his three
assistants. In justice to the "bookies" cour-
age, II can be said that he and his men at
tempted to run their business in the face of
prompt and certain arrest. They, at least,
took no stock in the assertion that there
would be no interference on the part Of the
authorities. But they were not the only
members of the gambling profession who
placed no reliance in the assumed confidence
OF the management. for not even the pub
licly made threat of Manager c. H. Prim-
rose that those bookmakers who refused to
go on yesterday would be given no opportu-
nifty to do so hereafter induced more than
the arrested "bookie'' to lend their active
aid in the making of a test case, thereby
subjecting themselves to the possibility of a
term of imprisonment In the Jail or peni-
Tertiary.
Regulars Surprised.
Excepting the regulars, the great majority
Of those who visited the track yesterday
afternoon did 50 out of mere curiosity, that
they might witness the raid which every

reported, knew would surely be made in the
event of betting being attempted. At first

on bonds. and that would be an end of the
whole matter. These confident individuals
were greatly astonished and disguised when
II became known through Inspector Holm

slstant OF theirs would, upon arrest, be
driven in the patrol wagon to the nearest
police station and locked up until released
on good and sufficient bonds The intelli-
gence that Gutenberg and Gloucester ideas

or tolerated by the District authorities was
decidedly in the nature of a Knockout blow
to the surprised regulars, blow from which
they did not quite recover during the day,
and which cast gloom over the track

blers, who had been bailed out, did not re-
move or brighten. ,s-, -. .F.e .-..-- y.

Worse Than Sheep Killing Dogs

Worse Than Sheep Killing Dogs.
To the Editor of The Republican.
You will remember that last year
| gave you an item in regard to my
success in sheep raising. thought
then that it was a profitable bust
ness, but have since had occasion
to modify my opinion.
The people believed the politi-
clans and voted for change; when
the blind lead the blind they both
fall into the ditch. =
Having had some experience |
am ready to report on the advan-
tages of the change. Last year |
got rs cents per pound for my wool
and this year Is cents per pound
for it making a net loss of 1922
on my SAG pounds of wool. lost
to l / cents per pound on sheep
and lambs sold, making net loss
of about $4,000 on sheep and lambs
or total loss on sales of S1l8.22.
But this is not all; for the shrink
age in value of the stock | have left
will make the total loss foot up con-
sidera6ly over tao hundred dollars.
Now if the dogs had simply killed
two hundred dollars worth of sheep
for me it would not be so bad, for
the business would IN that case be
left unimpared and the value of
what was left would not be dis
turbed.
l could then 60 ahead and replen-
ish my stock with some assurance
that l could depend on fair prices
for what l might have to sell, be-
sides l might have the satisfaction
of killing the dogs if could find
them, but in this case the value of
my property has been destroyed
and l cannot even have the salts
faction of revenge-there is no
remedy, no redress.
1t is true | can vote against the
party that has brought this all
about as every other sensible man
will certainly do, but that will not
restore what has been lost, and it
will be some years at best before
the mistake Of electing the enemies
of the country to run the govern
ment can be corrected.
But am not without company
as the business of everybody else
seems to suffer in about the same
proportion. Respectfully,
G. G. HARVEY.
