PRENDERGASTS LIFE.

CHICAGO. March 23-An order staying
the execution of the assassin Prendergast
till April was made by Justice Chetlain
last night and served on Sheriff Gilbert
this morning
Attorney c. S. Darrow said to-day :
"Fhe farther away from Chicago you get
the more bitter you will find the feeling
against Prendergast. In the southern part
of the State the prejudice is intense
Without knowing the first thing about the
case or considering the mental condition of
P-endergast they say Hang him." Lieu

stated be had been influenced by public
opinion and beyond doubt that alone in
fuenced him.
INV interest in this case" continued
Mr.. Darrow, who is remarkably in earnest
in his Effort to save Prendergast, as that
OF humane man. Soon after the sssas-
sination became impressed with the idea
that the 0utcast who had taken Mr. Har-
rison's life was insane and would not re-
ceive just treatment in the criminal court
The case was one that could not bp passed
urOn by the average citizen without pre-
judice. My views were published in a
Chicago paper and at once l was appealed
to by the lawyers for the defendant and
members of his family. At the Irouuois
Club l met many prominent men, men,
bers of bench and bar, who entertained
my views. When Prendergast was SEN
ter ced to be banged they argued that some
one should take up the case. Mr.. Gregory
and agreed to do so. and from that time
have done all in our power to save Prem
dergast from the gallows. All that we have
done has been in the interest of Justice.
We have given our time without cOmpen-
Satlon and have borne all our own ex-
penses."
'Who will meet The cost of the proposed
insanity trial?" Nj. Darrow was asked.
81 don't know. All that has been done
in the case since we took hold Of it ha s
been paid for by Mr.. Gregory and myself.
We shall probably meet the expense of
this proceeding, which will not be consid-
cred for the present, but many prominent
men and few public men have offered to
contribute to fund to give Prendergasi
the benefit of the law. Therefore it is
likely that the court expenses will he met
by public subscription. Neither Mr..
Gregory nor myself expect any cOmpensa-
tion for what we have done or may be able
to accomplish"
Messrs. Darrow and Gregory are among
the foremost lawyers in Chicago. Their
connection with the case has been sur
prise, as neither needs advertising, and
both eschew criminal practice.
