The Bordeaux mixture originated In
France. 1t is the refuse dye matter
and was first used by q fruit grower
near bordeaux to render his fine trees
attempting that his neighbors might
loose all desire TO steal his fruit II

quantity of the latter improved and
Investigation followed. The mixture
has stood the test of time and is large

even made some headway in England
where strong prejudice against al

Just then the tiger drew me along

guide them through the darkness was
the ceaseless yapping of Sylph- They

CHICAGO, March 23.-Ths Investigation
of Prendergast's present mental condition
will begin tomorrow before Judge Chef
lain. The state attorney will be ready
with medical testimony to prove that the
condemned Is as sane as he ever was. II
il not expected that much time will be oc-
cupisd in getting jury.
The suggestion was made by the attor-
neys for Prendergast to-day that the jury
be composed entirely of physicians, but the
states attorney has not given his consent.
he maintains that Judge Chetlain had no
authority to interfere with the execution,
and In doing 80 changed the governors
this city, however, IL almost unanimous
that the judge only obeyed mandatory
law.
In case the jury finds the murderer of
sound mind 1t 10 argued by the friends Of
the defence and lawyers well vsrsed In
criminal Jurisprudence there may be COM
plications In the way of the execution of
sentence. 1t Is not improbable that Prem
dergast's lawyers will 60 into another
court and denying the power of Judge
Ohetlain to order . stay of execution,
apply for . writ of habeas corpus, because
the original time set for the execution has
passed.
If Prendergast should be released on that
technicslity Sheriff Gilbert would be re-
sponsible for the miscarriage of Justice.
1t Is on account of this legal aspect of the
case that the attorney formally protested
against last nights proceedings. Many
people believe that Prsndergast will never
be hanged now.
