At the meeting Monday evening the
ma jority of the committee will be able
to determine from the data at hand
the amount of income on which it
should be levied. Members of the
committee who are not in favor Of an
income tax say SIS, 600, 900 can be raised
by taxing bonds and stocks of corpora
tons etc, thus rendering a tax on in

CHICAGO, Dec. S0.-Attornoy Trude
resumed his closing argument for tbs
prosecution in tho Prendergast trial
Friday. He referred to Henry George.
the apostle Of single tax, In manner
not altogether complimentary. Il was
delirious with joy" said Mr.. Trude,
..when heard that Afr. Wade intended
to put Henry George on the witness
stand. I wish they had brought him
here; he is the most migratory and
pestilential paranoiac OF all"
Judge Brcntano began his charge to
the jury at 10 o'clock. During the
course of it he said that if the jury be-
lieved beyond reasonable doubt that
the prisoner was capable of choosing to
commit or not to commit tho act he
should be found guilty even though
they believed he was not at the time
perfectly sane. Sanity is an ingrcdi-
ent of crime, the court continued, and
and if the jury entertained reasonable
doubt Of the prisoners sanity ne should
be acquitted.
{ The court then instructed the jury as
TO the various forms of verdicts, and
the twelve men fled out to decide the
fate OF the prisoner
The jury returned into court at 1898
p. N. with verdict Of guilty, and REQ
ommending that The prisoner 30

The mother of the prisoner did not
trust herself to remain in court to hear
the result of the trial, but fingered
around the corridors waiting for the
first news to come from the courtroom.
When it came, an instant after the YER
dict was rendered. she tottered away,
clinging to the banni.ter for support as
she descended the stairs and struggled
through the excited crowd thronglng
the approach TO the courtroom. John
Prcndergast, the prisoners brother, il
he was in the courtroom, left without
attracting attention.
Mr.. Trude and his associate, Mr..
TODD, were heartily congratulated by
all who could get near them. Preston
Harrison, being one Of the first to reach
the side of n1r. Trude, thanked him for
his efforts.
