Big Deal Has Been One Of the Most
Interesting Ever Run in tho
Wheat Trade-Was
Easy to Follow.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-James A. Pat.
tens May wheat deal promises to 20
out tomorrow without blare Of trum-
pets or fireworks Of any sort.
The big shorts have taken their
medicine, Patten and his followers
have taken their profits and the lat
est interesting chapter in grain specu-
lation now promises to finish with
everybody happy or silent. The big
deal has been one of the most inter
esting, because the most open and
above board that ever has been run
in the wheat trade.
1t has been an easy one for the out
slider. with faith in Patten, to follow.
For the most part the big bull has had
plain sailing since the turn OF the year
the big holding was bought last
October 1908--and about everything
that he predicted has come to pass or
is near enough to 1t to merit the claim
Of accuracy.
Winter wheat has proven very
scarce. but the spring wheat crop has
held out better than anybody in the
trade had expected. II there are any
very large deliveries OF wheat today
land there is little likelihood that there
will be-they must come from spring
wheat.

Humor followed pathos in Junkin's

sympathy by listeners and immediate.
~ Jewish pawnbroker convulsed
the audience with his inimitable re.

how he haggled over the price Of the

For the first time during the jim

CHIEF counsel for the deserse, Judge
Mitchell. who was indisposed in the
morning, was able to be on hand in
the afternoon, but the opening state.
ment for the defense was made this
morning by his law partner, F. M.
Hunter. Mr.. Hunter created deep
impression when he spoke OF the early
environm snts OF the negro Junkin, and
when he made fine eulogy upon the
deceased girl.
Fearing that the sight would have
a bad effect upon the people the de.
Tense waived the showing OF the
bloody garments of the murdered girl
in the courtroom. Other exhibits. in
Guiding the bloody and hair-covered
stone, were shown and were objects
of interest to the crowd.
| Quite stir among the attorneys
was caused when the defense objected
to the name of one witness as 1t ap-
peared on the indictment. Witness &C.
knowledged the signature and the in.
cident passed.
Junkin Tricked Into Admission.
Junkin was tricked into an admis.
sion by one of his guards, who asked
the negro how he could be such a
brute as to slip up behind his victim
and strike her on the top Of the head
Junkin made quick reply that he did
not hit her on the top Of her head. but
| on the side of her face. This admis
sion will hardly be admitted as evi
dence unless the sworn confession is
admitted, and it will be holly contest

Feeling against the negro still runs
high, and many citizens assert that
nothing but death sentence will
avert a lynching.
In view of possible outbreak, the
local company OF militia is prepared
to muster.
