Sage Was Naturally Gratified.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Channcey M. Depew when called upon by an Associ- ated Press reporter and informed that Prendergast had been convicted and sentenced to death, said: "You don't say so. This is the first information I have had of such verdict" Have you anything to say about it?" "Yes, I have. I would simply say this: The verdict is very gratifying to me and should be 80 to every citizen as vindi- cation of the supremacy of the law. It is verdict which does great credit to Chicago and demonstrates, as did her action in the case of the anarchists, her fearless and determined effort to make her municipality safe for life and prop erty. That is all have got to say"
 Russell Sage was somewhat surprised when informed. of the conviction of Prendergast. He said: I think he de- serves it if ever anyone did. His pre- tensions of insanity were made up in order to gain the sympathy of those who might believe in him.

The retired champion is an enthusiastic packer of Mitchell and pre- diets that he will win. Mitchell's forte, he says, is infghting and when matters mix the Englishman will be sure to make straight for the Californian's stomach. Allen expects the fight will not begin really until the twelfth or fifteenth round, each man waiting to size up his opponent.

WHO'S TO BLAME The Work of Careless
 Jail Authorities SaddIed Upon the Court
 Reporter. Meanwhile Evans Has Them All Wildly Guessing. The Bandit Said to Be in Ills Old Haunts, But Nopody Is Anxious
 to Go After Him.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
 FRELNo, Dec. 29.-The excitement which prevailed here last night on &C., count of the escape of Chris Evans from jail has now subsided, and is quite az noticeable as was the stir of the previous evening. Nothing has been heard from Sheriff Scott and his posse since 10 8. m. and it is thought they have followed the bandit and his confederate to Sampson's flat. There is little doubt that Evans made for that section and is now probably with his friends.
 Evans condition is regarded as against his roughing it as he did when in the wilds before. But few think the officers will take him. If he should be taken alive soon there is little doubt that he would be lypched, his waiter included. City Marshall Morgan, the victim of Evans bullet yesterday even ing, is doing well and will not be con- fined to his room longer than a few days. Mrs. Evans has recovered from | her it and is apparently at ease. Tax paying citizens are inquiring into the cause this and similar cases where in convicted criminals obtain their lib ertv. When Judge Holmes had George Sontag hurried to Folsom he was gen. erally criticized and accused of railroad. ing him to Folsom, but they see now I that he was right in the matter. The court reporter comes in for his share o | the blame in the Evans case, for if he had had his notes complete sentence
 would have been passed and Chris would have been safely behind ths states prison bars instead of free man

A DETERRENT EFFECT.
What Prominent Men Think of the
 Verdict.

Verdict.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-In an interview tonight Attorney Trude said: "The conviction of this man will, in my opin- ion, operate as detriment against the commission of like crimes by notoriety- loving cranks. Since the trial of Prem dergast has been in progress cranks have arisen all over the country threat ening mayors, chiefs of departments and men of means. This verdict will operate as a life insurance policy on their safety. The verdict of acquittal on the ground of insanity would be a sowing of dragons teeth and threatened mayors and others would be in danger of losing their lives"
 Mem bers of the late mayors family were apparently expecting such yer dict and seemed to derive little satis- faction from the fact that the murderer was to die for his crime, feeling that only justice had been done. Garter H. Harrison, Jr., one of the proprietors of the Times, in discussing the verdict sad: II am not surprised at the yer dict, because to my mind there was never the least doubt as to the man's legal responsibi bility when he committed the act. I think hanging. verdict will have most beneficial effect upon the vast army who seek notoriety by deeds of violence or by threatening men occu- pying high positions.
