CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-Mrs. Jonas Carl
son, wife of the owner of the Carlson
cottage, was called to the stand today
to furnish her testimony in the Cough
lin case. Attorney DonOhue took up the
cross-examination and attempted TO inn
peach the witness by asking her in re-
gard to her former testimony. Mrs.
Carlson was either more clever or more
forgetful than her husband. for she did
not deny having made certain answers
but said she could not remember. Judge
Tuthill sharply rebuked eX-Judge Wing
for intimating by an objection that all
sorts of strange and queer testimony
was being admitted evidence for the
prosecution.
Garhardt Wardell was then called by
the state and testified in regard to two
men the night of May 4 entering the
Carlson cottage. in which he saw light.
The witness contradicted several times
the testimony he had given at the former
trial.
The name of Alexander Sullivan was
on every lip i'm Judge TuthilFs court
room yesterday and the possibility of his
appearance in the trial of Daniel Cough
lin was the absorbing topic of CONVERSE
ton For the first time in the history
of the famous Cronin case the name of
Judge Grinnell was mentioned in con-
nection with startling developments that
many persons interested in and familiar
with every detail of the case expect will
come out before the present trial is fin
ished.
Alexander Sullivan was mentioned as
a possible witness for the defense. Judge
Grinnel was mentioned as a possible
witness for the prosecution.

BANK TELLER SHORT.
Took $4,000 in Gold and Bills and
Has Not Returned.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Dec. 3O.-Will-
lam A. Bennett, one Of the best known
bank telIers in Providence. has fed TAX
ing with him nearly $4,000. lie has been
in the employ of the Globe national bank
about ten years. He had full swing in
the bank and had the entire confidence
of Cashier George c. Noyes.
After the close of the banking course
Thursday he spoke to Mr.. NOyes, saying
that a distant relative had died and that
he should like to attend the funeral
Mr. Moves granted a leave of absence
and Bennett went out As he did not
return at the hour that he said he would
yesterday it led to suspicion that some
thing was wrong. Mr.. Moves in making
up his cash for the day found that his
gold was wrong. There was a bag on
the floor of the vault that ought to
have had $4,000 in it. but the gold coin
had been entirely distracted and in it's
place had been substituted about 5000 in
silver. The money in bills was next
evcrhauled and about $4,000 more was
found to have vanished.
Bennett is about five feet seven inches
in hight of heavy build. has light brown
hair, light brown eyes and smooth face.
1t is thought he has taken a steamer
for Europe.
Bank Examiner Day, in examining the
books of the Globe national bank, found
that the defaulting teller, William Aus
tin Bennett who fled Friday, made his
first grab Dec. 10. when he stole $4,000.
In addition il has been found that he
took $4,000 Thursday and $4,000 i'm gold
at some unknown time. The examination
will not be completed until Monday.
Owing to the clever way in which Ben
nett doctored The books, it will be neces-
sary to call in every pass book belonging
to the bank in order to ascertain the
exact loss The bank officials believe
that Bennett took about twenty thou
sand dollars. He lost his money on Man
haitian and New England stock.
The fact that the woman with whom
he was intimate came from New York
Tuesday and is still here, lead his
friends to believe that he has committed
suicide. The United States authorities
have taken the case in charge and will
endeavor to locate the absconder.

Some Outside Opinions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew. who was called upon by an AS
ISOLATED Press reporter tonight and in
formed that Prendergast had been con-
victed and sentenced to DEATH said:
You don't. say 50; this is the first
information | have had on such YER
dict"
"Have you anything to say about it?''
asked the reporter.
Eyes, l have. l would say simply that
the verdict is very gratifying to me
and should be so to every citizen, as
vindication of the supremacy of the
law. 1t is a verdict which does a great
credit to Chicago and demonstrates, as
did her action in the case of the an
archists, her fearless and determined
effort to make her municipality safe
for life and property. That is all
have got to say

and he instructed the clerk to send
neither visitors. cards nor messages to
his room. The Associated Press reporter
was, therefore, unable to reach him.
Russell Sage was somewhat surprised
when Informed of the conviction of
Prendergast. He said:
II think he deserves it, if ever any
one did. His pretensions of insanity
were made up ia order to gain the sym
pathy of those who might believe in
him. I think the influence of the verdict
will be a wholesome one. 1t will teach
the masses TO have no sympathy for
cranks, that they are responsible to the
Paw, which is the bulwark and pro-
lection of our lives and liberty, and its
Influences will make them lead the
lives of good and respectable citizens

little after 4 o'clock this evening the
pumping station OF the Indiana natural
gas company's pipe line at East Chicago
was blown up and will probably result
in the death of at least eight persons.
While workmen were in the station
engaged in repairing a leak in the pipe
the escaping gas took fire from a LAM
tern which had been knocked over and
in a moment an explosion took place
which tore the iron building TO pieces
and dashed the workmen in every direo-
ton.
Some of them were thrown fifty feel
from the building and were horribly
burned
One Of the injured men, after regain
ing consciousness. put his hands 10 his
face. when his flesh dropped of and also
the very hair from his head.
He then ran a quarter Of a mile and
shut of the main pipe, then fell IN a
faint.
The pipes were torn up and the escsp,
ing gas burned up over sixty feet.
It is thought that at least seven Of
the injured are fatally burned.

the city the result of the Prendergast
trial at Chicago was discussed freely
tonight, and was generally commended.
Vice-President Stevenson, in speaking
Of the verdict. said:
The verdict of guilty was universal
ly expected. 1 am not familiar with the
expert testimony adduced regarding the
defendants sanity, but his crime was
a cOld-blooded one and shocked the en-
tire country. / speak rather warm, be-
cause Carter Harrison was my personal
friend. The verdict seems TO be just"
Representative John c. Black said:
Il speak not as a lawyer, for L have
not followed the testimony in the case,
but as a citizen having formed some
impression from what have
read and heard. 1 should say that the
verdict was righteous and that the
twelve men who sat on the jury ar
rived at correct conclusion"

had not been closely following the news

visited the Howard mansion on st.
Charles-ave. Immediately after the re-
ceipt of the news of the result of the
Prendergast trial 1t was found that
Miss Annie Howard, the berieved
fiancee of the assassinated mayor Of Chi
cago, was too weak to be seen, as she
is just convalescing from a severe at
tack of the grip, now so prevalent in
New Orleans. The first intimation that
Mr.. Frank T. Howard had of the YER
dict in the case was when a, reporter
called at his home, fronting Lafayette
park, this evening: He said:
Il am rather surprised, considering
Chicago's usual hustling style, that they
were so slow in determining upon the
fate of that assassin. When I left Chi
cagO it was said that Prendergast would
be hanged before Christmas. 1t was two
months yesterday since the horrible
crime was committed"

perado. and brother of the notorious
Rube Burrows, was buried in the state

was brought back TO Arkansas for his
crime and was to have been tried in
December 1883. He became i'll, however,

tofOre stated. Some weeks after his
death story reached here from Ala
bama to the effect that he had been seen
with his brother RUDE in the noun
tains. That story was denied by the
penitentiary authorities. and DR.. Can

clan at the time, stated that Burrows
died a natural death on October ) and
was positively a dead man when turned
over to the penitentiary gravediggers.

Subject for a Lynching.

FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 29.-The excite
ment which prevailed here last evening
on account of the escape of Chris Evans
from Jail has subsidized. Nothing has been
heard from Sheriff Scott and posse since
10 a. m and il is thought they have fol-
lowed the bandit and his confederate
to Simpsons fiat. There is little doubt
that Evans made for that section and
is now probably with friends. Evans s
condition is regarded as against his
roughing it as he did when in the wilds
before, and but few think officers will
take him. If he should be taken alive
soon there is little doubt but he would
be promptly lynched and Morrel also.
