The Prendergast Case.

Chicago, April IL --Oae of the
mysteries surrounding the Prender-
CAST case that is yet to BE unravelled
relates tn the source of the funds
that are being employed for the de-
tense Of Carter III prisons assassin.
That there is money back of the
defense, and plenty OF it, is
beyond peraiventure. or the coun-
eel that are now engaged in
placing every obstacle in the march
of the brutal murderer 10 the gal
lows, two have hitherto confined
their practice to chancery and civil
procs edings, and their names have
always been identified with big
fees and fat emolum 9nts. Nobody
believes that they are in this cele-
brated criminal case simply for
the love of the thing Another
we'll known plea1er, who was inter
iected into the case in order to

trial, through the supreme court,
thence to the governor, thence to
The United States court, and back
AGAIN TO the county tribunal have,
in the way of witnesses, stenographic
charges, costs of preparing records,
etc. been enormous. Yet it is stated
that every outstanding account has
been paid to date. l has been sug.
gested by members of the Harrison
family that the funds were being
put mp by some old enemies of the
dead mayor who are thus
carrying their vlndictlveness
even to the gave. This
suggestion, however, has so far not
been found capable of demonstra.
ton. but it ia believed that sooner

pellad TO disclose the names OF those
back of them who are willing to
supply finds with a liberal hand
that Prendergast may escape the
