DEFENSE PRESENTS ITS CASE
The Eisenhower Murder Trial Nearing
Its Close.
THE 'HERALD'S DETAILED REPORT
One of the Jurors Taken Ill at Noon To-day.
The Defense Will offer the Plea of
Insanity witnesses Fail to APP
pear at the Morning Session.
Special to EVENING HERALD.

PoTTsvILLE, June 1s.-With the close of
the morning session Of the trial of Theodore
Eisenhower yesterday for the murder OF
John Schwindt the greater part of sensa-
tional developments of the day ended.
Much expectation hinged upon the calling of
William Schwindt, the man who no doubt
owes his life to the fact that he had brother
who bore striking resemblance to him.
The expectations were fully met Schwindt
for the first time made public his story of the
visit to Eisenhowers house one night last
August and emphatically denied that there
were any grounds upon which the prisoner
could base jealousy. Eisenhowers daugh-
ters and sons next followed but in their tes-
timOny left a vacancy. They were not
present when Eisenhower and SChwindt had
the struggle They had gone upstairs just
before that in fact one of the sons was
asleep and did not even hear the disturbance.
The only story thus told concerning the
struggle is that which comes from William
Schwindt. There were but two other wit
nesses of the afiair-Mrs. Eisenhower, the
prisoners wife, and the prisoner himself. In
his opening address to the jury Congressman
Brumm promised he would put the prisoner
on the witness stand before the close Of the
case. Mrs. Eisenhower is still missing, and
it is stated that she is not likely to take any
part insthe trial, so the story of the struggle
and the immediate circumstances that led up
to it will hinge upon the statements Of Will
lam Schwindt and his wOuld-be murderer.
In this connection there was an important
development late yesterday afternoon in the
testimony of William Fishburn, of Shenan-
doah, employed as watchman at the Turkey
Run cOlliery He was called Ostensibly to
testify to the good character of the prisoner
prior to the shooting and said that for peace
and order he never heard Eisenhower's
reputation questioned up to the shooting, But
after this Mr.. Brumm put the following
question to the witness Tell whether or
not Mrs. Eisenhower acknowledged to you
that she was sitting on Schwindt's lap and
that she had five bullets prepared for her
husband ?'
The question caused a ripple of excite
ment Mr.. Whalen objected, but the court
overruled him, and the witness answered that
he had been trying to get Mr.. and Mrs.
Eisenhower together again and that last
summer, after the difficulty, Mrs. Eisen-
hover told the witness, in the presence of
the latter's family and Mr., Eisenhower, that
she did sit in Schwindt's lap on the night Of
the difficulty. She said that Schwindt pulled
her down on his lap as she was passing and
asked her to put the light down, and she did
it, but she was very sorry and had no inten-
ton of anything wrong. The witness added
that Mrs. Eisenhower stated that she ad-
mitted this for peace sake.
Mr.. Fishburn was subjected to a rigid
examination by the Commonwealth, but his
evidence was unskaken.

MR.. BRUMM's ADDRESS.

MR.. BRUMMS ADDRESS
In his opening address to the jury Mr..
Brumm said that never in the histo, y Of
Schuylkill county has there been such a
peculiar case as this one in its criminal courts.
Mr.. Brumm spoke for about 45 minutes and
his address was an able one. Towards the
close he said he would show that Eisenhower
was under the influence of insanity-let it be
emotional, or any other kind of insanity the
jury may see fit to call it after the evidence
had been submitted at the time Of the shoot
ing, and was not responsible for the act that
William Schwindt had alienated the atlec-
tions of Mrs. Eisenhower and the children
from the prisoner; had driven Eisenhower
out upon the world 'heartbrollen and almost
an outlaw that Schwindt did that, knowing
that Eisenhower knew it, and persisted in it
after he knew the trouble he had brought
upon the poor man.
The first witness called for the defense was
Mrs William Arthurson Of Ringtown Valley,
who said she came from South Wales two
years ago and testified On 18th of Febru-
ary, last, | walked from Rngtown ON my
way to Shenandoah and when passing Krebs
station | saw the prisoner as | looked back
behind me pulling his hair, humping his
head and hammering himself fearfully. He
was talking in German and | didn't know
what he was saying. l was frightened and al
lowed the man to pass me. He went ahead and
| lost track Of him until the afternoon when
| saw him on Main street. He then looked
Wild On crosse examination Mrs. Arthurson
said; l saw the prisoner at a surprise
party given to his mother i'm Slabtown on
February 18th. The prisoner ON that occa-
sion talked very foolishly and took no part
in the festivities, Among the things he said
was that nobody goes to heaven after IL years
of age When / met Eisenhower ON Main
street, Shenandoah at 3 o'clock on the after
noon of February 18th, there was nothing in
the look of the man to cause me to think
there was anything wrong with his mind
The defense then proceeded to bring ou,
testimony to show the good reputation of
Eisenhower for peace and good order, In
some instances fair success was met with In
one the witness made a strong point for the
Commonwealth. As far as their personal
knowledge went the witnesses testified very
favombly to the prisoner, but when ques-
toned as to his reputation, that is what
others said Of him. most Of the witnesses
weakened.
Daniel Gilbert, of Ringtown, said he had
known the prisoner or years and knew
nothing against him prior to the shooting,
but he heard some people say good things
about the prisoner, and others the reverse,
The bad reports he heard were that the
prisoner was not good to his family and that
he quarreled in saloons. These reports the
witness heard before and after the shooting,

Mr. Samuel Gompers, American dele
gate to the British Workingmen's Con-

ing: There's no question but that the
labor movement in Europe is further
advanced than the movement in Ameri-
ca. In Europe, especially in England,
there exists better appreciation on the
part Of the public as to the purposes
and achievements OF labor organize
lions. The fact is that England was an
industrial country when the United
States was wholly undeveioped indus
trially. There they have men in the
labor movement whose grandfathers
were agitators and walking delegates.
The labor organizations of England
have overcome great deal OF the pre-
judice against them which formerly ex-
isted."
