Ohio State Senator.
COLUMBUS, o.. March 90. There was
n sensation in connection with the pro-
ceedings in the senate Thursday after
noon that did not receive an airing in
that body because of the disinclination
of n certain prominent me mber TO have
his name connected with il. The sena-
tor referred to received an offer of
q bribc to desist in his activity for the
passage of the Earnhart bill to repeal
the tax inquisition law.
The offer came to him by mail from
n firm of tax inquisitors, and boldly
stated that large sum of money would
be paid him if he would cease to press
the measure for passage. The senator
did not cease" but the bill was de-
feated despite his efforts. The offer
made him is one of the boldcst within
the history of recent legislation, mas
much rs it came by mail and was so ex-
plicitly expressed. 1t is understood
that the affair will receive formal at
tention, but for the present the senator
desires to remain in the background.

the investigation of Prendergasts

gins Saturday before Judge Chetlain,

timony to prove that the condemned

The states attorney maintains that
Judge Chetlain had no authority to in
terferc with the execution, and in do
ing so changed the governors writ. On
the other hand, the opinions of emil
nent lawyers OF this city are almost
unanimous that Judge Chetlain only
obeyed mandatory law, and did what
was right when there was not reason
able time to try the sanity of the assas-
sin before the hour of his execution ar
rived. In case the jury finds the mur-

gucd that there may be complications in
the way of the execution of the sem
tcncc. 1t is not improbable. in that
event, that Prendergast's lawyers will
go into another court, and, denying the
power of Judge Chetlain to order n
stay of execution. apply for a writ OF
habeas corpus because the original
time set for the execution has passed.
Many people believe that Prendergast
will never be hanged.
