Judge Payne Refuses to Grant a Further
Contin uance of the Case.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Additional COM
plications may arise in the case of assas-
sin Prendergast. The agreement was to
continue the hearing until September
when the trial was called today. Judge
Chetlain is not sitting in the criminal
court, and the case came before Judge
Payne.
When the continuance agreed on was
submitted to him he refused to enter the
order, saying he knew of no reason why
a continuance should be granted. The
matter went over temporarily.
Prendergast was brought into court
during the proceedings and insisted on
making a speech. Il am the defend
anti he said, sand L want no continu-
ance. I want no delay. The question to
be determined is my guilt or innocence;
not insanity. Murder is the malicious
taking of a human life. That crime l
have not committed"
The prisoner was thrust into his chair
by bailiffs and was finally ordered by the
court to be taken back to jail

People Got Discouraged
ABILENE, June 11.-Ex-J Judge Botkin,
whose connection with the Stevens
county troubles gave him worldwide no.
toriety, spent most of the week in town.
Speaking of western Kansas he said:
Things are fearfully dry out there and
unless irrigation or rainmaking prove
possible and practicable the country will
be deserted The people are moving out
all the time and something must be done.
1t was chiefly because of this lack of
prosperity that the troubles in which
figured came.
"The people grew dissatisfied and dis
couraged and took to shooting one an
other and quarreling over the county
seat location in order to make themselves
happy again. OF course it failed, but
that did not stop the hard times. Con-
sidering the frame of mind of the lead
ers it was a wonder more were not kill
