Judge Chetlain refused to extend the
time for the hearing beyond III o'clock
this morning, the hour set for the execu-
tion. The authorities at Springfield re-
f1sed to reprieve Prendergast.
1t was nearly 1880 last night before the
attorneys concluded their opening argu-
ments, and Judge Chctlain decided that
he could rightfully take up the case. The
regular court was summoned and the
work Of summoning n jury begun. Hav-
ing heard the arguments Judge Chetlain
announced his decision, extending the
time of the execution Of the sentence two
weeks, 10 April o. and setting the com
mencement Of the trial of the question as
70 the prisoners sanity on Saturday morn
ing, at 10 O'Clock.
The Judges Review.
Said the Judge "The case as It now
stands is as follows: The state has ap-
peared and declared itself ready to pro-
ceed. 1t has conceded to the defendant
the right to trial. The court required
the defense 10 introduce evidence to make
. prima facie case, raising reasonable
doubt az to the sanity OF the prisoner.
The question Is not one OF the guilt of
the prisoner, but whether he between the
time cf the judgment of the court of the
execution of his sentence has become in
sane.
1.-THE court has the power to empanel
Jury and try this case. 1t is now nearly
midnight and it is apparent to counsel on
both sides that the trial could not be con-
cluded before the time appointed for the
execution. Shall the court be left power
less to prolong the time of the execution
Of the sentence from the authoritiesi
am satisfied that the court has that in
herent power. The question ought to be
submitted to ury, and investigation be
made quietly and duly. IL would be in
consistent with justice to compel a trial
at midnight For the foregoing reasons
the court will prolong the execution Of
Patrick Eugene Prenderrast"

Hot Cross Buns.

The proper thing to do today is to eat a
hot cross bun or dozen OF them if one
has the price and the appetite, because
a great many years ago in Old England
some baker conceived the idea of
making up dough bun style and as it
was Good Friday the baker
stamped Roman cross on the top crust
and hot cross buns have been
in vogue ever since in th
country which gave permanence
to the fad and in the United Safes for the
last dozen years. Way back in the time
of Addison there were royal bun houses
Just as there were coffee houses, but unlike
everything else in those days that
was eatable, drinkabe or huggable
the bun failed to have an ode written
about it. There Is a nursery rhyme, how
ever, which runs:
'IIot cross buns. hot cross buns,
Two n penny, one penny,
Hot cross buns.
II your daughter don't like 'em
Give them to your sons.
One n penny. two penny.
Hot cross buns.
In this city the demand for the delicacy
Is sufficient to warrant the bakers in max
ing special provisions for the baking and
selling, and one dealer on Westminster
street sells 200 dozen every Good Friday.
There is more real satisfaction in OBJ
serving the custom than in wearing ashes
on the forehead, and il will not be con-
trary to tradition TO eat them again on
Easter morning.

HEARD IN COURT TO-DAY.
The Complainant Failed to Prove His
Case In the Bennett-Goff Suit.

The case of James L. Bennett VS.. James
c. Goff was heard and decided In the
appellate division this morning.
The case involved bill in
equity to set aside mortgages made by an
insolvent debtor, the bill alleging that the
mortgage knew that the debtor was
insolvent, and that the mortgage was
made 60 days prior to the assignment.
The opinion of the court was that
the complainant, on whom rests
the burden of proof, had
failed to show by preponderance OF evil
dence that respondent had reasonable
ground to believe the debtor insolvent at
the time of receiving the mortgage.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE NEwsi

To THE EDITOR OF The News
SIR am very glad that we have now
l paper in this city that dares to expose
the Misrepresentation OF the so-cailed
independents Journal. The fiippant man.
Ger in which il treats State politics ana
local issues should disgust sll public
spirited citizens.
IL Is not surprising to find that neither
set OF candidates in this campaign IS 10
It's flavor, but that it Is inclined To favor
one man because he gota few more votes
than the other. Law, constitution and
the Judgment OF our highest court are
Ignored, and The Journal makes rule oil
It's own that the man having the most
votes is elected. A pretty pickle we should
De in If we treated all matters in the cava-
lier way in which The journal discuss the
State Government.
Mr.. Baker was not elected Governor at
the last State election because at that
jority of the votes should elect. Baker
only came within 1900 OF the majority.
Ii is not certain even that he had
plurality OF the votes, as the margin was
very close between him and Governor
Brown. Ii Is absolutely prtain that he
was not the choice or the representative
Of the most voters in the state.
There were over three thousand Pro-
hibition votes cast, and the larger part OF
those would have preferred Governor
Brown TO Mr.. Baker, for the
Prohibition vote is strongly Re-
publican in its tendency. ] am a
Republican, but also a staunch Prohibi-
ZIONIST, and last year voted for the latter
party on the State ticket, and Tor the
believed that there would be no
election by the people, and that therefore
/ could afford to express my prohibition
views by voting the State ticket. There
were, have no doubt, hundreds OF Pro-
hibitionists in the came position as was.
We shall not, however, do the same
our vote will go for the representative of
the Grand Old Party that protects our
homes, our ballots and our constitutional
privileges. Governor Brown and not Mr..
Metcalf this time. ANTI-SALooN.
