TIME FOR HANGING PASSED
Assassin Prcndergast's Case Gets
Into u Serious judicial
Tan2Ic

CHICAGO, H., March 23.-The Prem
dergast insanity hearing will come up.
III Judge Chetlain's court tomorrow
morning. The state will enter upon
the case under protest, but is preparing
to Introduce expert testimony to show
that the assassin is at the present time
responsible for his acts The case for
Prendergast will be conducted by At
torneys Gregory and Darrow, who viii
be assisted by the lawyers who con-
Quoted the defense before Judge Bren-
tano. Neither side expects to devote
much time to getting jury.
Attorney DarrOW to-day proposed to
the states attorney that the case be
submitted to jury of physicians, stat
ing that he would abide by the decision
reached by the medical men. States
Attorney Kern, however, declined to
agree to the suggestion at once, but
took the proposition under advisement
Should he determine to accept that way
of disposing of the case, and it is
found to be legal, much time
and expense may be saved. In
any event the states attorney
refuses to be a willing party to the pro-
ceedings, maintaining the ground az
sumed by Judge Chetlain last night.
The situation as presented by the states
attorney is that the Court had no au-
thorlty to issue a stay of execution,
which was equivalent to alter
ing the governors writ, and has no
jurisdiction in the case. Trouble for
someone is anticipated if it should be
found that the prisoner is sane. In
that case the state holds there is a great
question as to what legal method would
be necessary to put the rope about the
assassin's neck again, and admits that
even should Judge ChetIain assume that
authority the friends of the defend
ants could 90 into another court
and secure a writ of habeas cor
pus, releasing the fellow from Gus
tody on the ground that Judge
Chetlain had no jurisdiction and that
the time set for the execution had
passed. The law distinctly states, it is
said, that should the hour Tor an execu-
ton pass without the fulfilment of the
law, the sheriff is responsible for the
n miscarriage of justice. In fact, all man
ner of legal difficulties are anticipated
as result Of a declaration Of sanity,
while on the other hand it is admitted
that should the condemned be adiudged
insane the case will end forever
The order for q stay of execution and
fixing the new date of execution orders
that the time for the execution of said
sentence be and the same is hereby ex-
tended and prolonged to Friday, A pril
+, 1894, between the hours Of 10 o'clock
A. NJ. and 2 P. NJ, on said last mentioned
day"
A deputy from the criminal court to-
day served the order of Judge Chetlaia
on Sheriff Gilbert which prevents the
execution of Prendorgast before April s.

GEO CLOVES PLEADS GUILTY.
Row Farmer CalIaGhan was Cruelty
Slain While Sitting by
His EireSide.

KENosHA, Wis, March 23.-George
Cloves pleaded guilty in the circuit
court to-day to numbering John Calia-
CHAN, a farmer of Brighton, Kenosha
county. He will be sentenced 30 state
prison for life this afternoon. Young
Cloves made a confession admitting
that he killed the aged farmer. Cloves
statement in brief is as follows:
On February - last, | was at Delavan,
Wis, and traded a shotgun for a revolver.
Having no employment | started for Bur-
lngton, and reached there late in the after
noon. / then started southwark and about
10 o'clock neared the residence of Mr.. CAL
laghan. Knowing that the old gentleman
was well fixed | determined to scare him
and secure some of his money. l had no
Intention Of harming him. ] raped at the
door of his house and receiving no response
walked in. Mr.. Callaghan was seated at a
table reading | pointed the revolver at
him and demanded his money. Hardly had
the words been uttered when the pistol
was accidentally discharged and l was
Mortified to see Mr.. Callaghan fall to the
floor. Crazed with fright [ ran from the
house, my only object being to get away
from the scene OF the crime as quick as
possible. / tramped all night, hardly
knowing where l was going. Early the
next morning | was overtaken by two
young men and returned to Brighton. [
denied the charge at first as | was afraid of
violence
The crime for which Cloves will
serve the remainder Of his life in prison
was one of the coolest blooded murders
in the history OF Southern Wisconsin.
John Callaghan was an old farmer in
fair circumstances and resided with his
wife in the town of Brighton. On the
evening of February 81 the door Of Mr..
Callaghan's house was thrown open
suddenly and the form of a young man
appeared upon the threshold. Point
ing the gun at Mr.. Callaghan the in
truder said:
L want your money or your life.
The farmer replied that he had only a
small amount in change, whereTpon,
without another word, the young vii
lain shot the helpless old man in the
face and then fed from the house.
Mrs. Callaghan, who had witnessed the
shooting, was so overcome that it was
some time before she gave the alarm.
She described the murderer and a
posse of citizens was soon in pursuit.
The following morning young Cloves
was arrested and taken to the Callaghan
residence, where he was at once recog-
nized by Mrs. Callaghan as the man
who had killed her husband. Cloves
maintained his innocence until yester-
day. Very little is known Of the young
man. For the past two years he had
worked as a farm hand at numerous
places in Kenosha County. His parents
formerly resided at GAINESVILLE and re-
moved to Illinois.

OPPOSING THE HATCH BILL.
Northwestern Grain Dealers Strong
in Protesting Against the
Measure

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 22.-Gen.
Hatch's latest anti-option bill is more
unsatisfactory to legitimate grain
dealers than the measure which
passed the Fifty-second Congress.
To-day Representative Fletcher, Of
of Minnesota, received twenty tele-
grams from the biggest grain dealers in
Minneapolis and other sections of the
Northwest, protesting against the pass
age of the new bill, declaring it far
more injurious to the grain in
terests Of the country than the old
measure. AS this opposition comes
from Senator Washburn's constituents
it may check his enthusiasm in trying
to pass another anti-option meas
ure through the Senate until after the
senatorial election in Minnesota next

the recently cabled report that United
States Ambassador to England Bayard

Bayard to the State Boundary Commits

be home to meet with the commission
either in the summer or early
in the fall. The commission, which
includes besides Mr.. Bayard, John II.
HOtteckcr, eN-speaker of the House of
Representatives, and eX-President of
the State Senate Beniah j.. Lewis, was
appointed to revise and finally define
the boundary line between Pennsylva-
MA and Delaware. This task has been
practically completed, but before it can
be forwarded to the governor whose
duty 1t Will be to transmit it to the next
General Assembly. it must be carefully
reviewed, and if need be, revised by
Mr.. Bayard, who is chairman of the
commission. This duty cannot be
performed in London, but must be
performed in company with his col
leagues in this city, and hence his init
nation to the commission concerning
his return home. Some Of the friends
Of the eN-Secretary think that he will
simply return on temporary leave of
