SANITY IN QUESTION.
Assassin Prendercrast Given a
New Lease of Life.
Jud&e Chetlain Postpones the Day of Ex
ecution to April O A Jurr Will I lo
ci tie as to the Prisoner's
Mental Condition.
NOT TO HANG TO-DAY.
Chicago, March 24. Judge Chetlain,
of the superior court, Thursday night
granted Patrick Eugene Prendergast,
murderer of Mayor Carter II. Harrison,
a fourteen days' lease of life, postpon
j Ing the execution which was to have
taken place at noon to-day until Friday,
I April 6. He announced his decision
1 shortly before midnight when, for over
three hours, he had been listening to
evidence introduced in proceedings in
' stituted to inquire into the assassin's
sanity. To-day at 10 o'clock a jury
will be impaneled and will decide
, whether or no Prendergast has become
' mentally unbalanced since convicted of
the murder of Mayor Harrison.
The Judge's Decision.
I Judge Chetlain in rendering his de
cision said:
"Tho case as it now stands is this: The
suite is ready to impanel the jury: they con
cede that right to the defendant, and that
might only be considered sufficient grounds
to grant a stay of proceedings. The court, not
withstanding, required some evidence more
conclusive than the petition which has been
read to the court, to make out a prima facie
case, that the defendant had become insane
after the judgment had teen pronounced and
before the sentence was executed.
"The question Is not one of the guilt or of
the sanliy of the defendant at the lime of the
offense; neither had the previous trial any
bearing on the present case. All that has been
passed upon. lie was found Kane by a jury and
sentenced Now this court has the power to
j Impanel the jury and have that Issue settled at
once. It is now midnight of the night preceding
the execution, and It is apparemt that such
trial could not be concluded before the time set
for the defendant's execution had arrived.
"The court is satisfied that trom the auihorl-
I ties submitted to It, and from the common law
alone, that it has power to prolong the time
which has already been set to elapse between
the imposing of the sentence and his execu
tion. If the case has been made out can it be
i said that this court can ba compelled hastily
to enter upon the trial to determine
this prisoner s sanity? I think not The ques
tion of the defendant's guilt has been settled
. Irrevocably. The question now is should the
court prolong the time to enable the defendant
; to avail himself of time in which to show
cause why sentence should not be executed
upon him.
"The next question is, has sufficient cause
been shown why this court should prolong the
time? There has been submitted to this
court an aQldavit, and two witnesses have
I come here to testify :hal the defendant has be
! come insane since sentence was pronouncd
upon him. One of the witnesses was a
medical man. an expert upon Insanity,
j lie says that he has noticed a .change in the
defendant since the day he was sentenced.
Another witness who has met and seen the de
! fendant at various times also says that he
I finds him much changed since the sentence. Ue
also testified that at the tiino the crime was
committed he believed the defendant to be per
. leclly responsible. Since then he has reason
us change his opinion.
"Therefore this court thinks that this mat
j ter of the present sanity or insanity of the de
fendant should be determined by a jury. It
j also holds that it would be inconsistent with
j humanity and justice for this court to compel
such a trial to be held at this midnight hour,
j For the foregoing reasons the court will pro
i long and extend the time of the execution of
' Patrick Eugene Prendergast until Friday,
April
"One Honest Judge."
Prendergast had been watching Judge
Chetlain's face from the moment he
commenced to speak. When his honor
spoke the last word and the full import
of his decision flashed across the mur
derer's mind he turned to his counsel
and said: "Well, there is one honest
judge in Cook county anyway." Then
he put on his overcoat and walked back
to the death chamber in the county
jaiL
The proceeding which ended so un
expectedly was the last resort of the
attorneys of the condemned man. All
day long Acting Gov. Gill at Spring
field listened to importunities and read
petitions, telegrams and letters asking
him to reprieve the prisoner. At 10:30
last night he announced his intention
of allowing the law to take its course,
saying that two courts had passed on
the case and that he did not think it
his duty to interfere with the execu
tion of the sentence of death.
Governor Would Not Interfere.
It is evident the governor's action
was not unexpected by the defendant's
attorneys, and when the United States
circuit court in the morning refused to
grant the writ of habeas corpus ap-
I plied for they resolved to play their
last card and demand an inquiry into
the sanity of the prisoner, alleging
that he had become insane since con
victed of Mayor Harrison's assas
sination. Judge Chetlain consented to
hear the case, and it was commenced
before him at 8 p. m. in the criminal
court building on the north side.
Twenty minutes before the court an
nounced its decision it was believed the
case would run all night, and possibly
would not be ended at noon to-day, the
hour set for the execution.
A REPUBLIC FOR HAWAII.
Rtory That Thurston Has Ilecn Recalled

TO BE HELD IN CHECK.
A. Watchful Eye Being Kept on the Move
ments of Coxey's Army.
Massillon, O.. March 2L In the cen
ter of the dark public square, beside
the flaring light of a gasoline torch
light, Lieut. Carl Browne stood up
and introduced the "great unknown"
to the crowd below him. The mem
bers of the commonweal bent up
a shout of joy and the stranger
bowed and began hit address, lie
poke in a clear, loud voice with a
light German accent, and the words
recalled the days of excitement lefore
the Uaymarket riot when Chicago wu
pulsing with the bitter invective of an
archist orators. He spoke in tiie course
of his speech of having been iu C'h'-xutfo
and told of his work for huLuauily.
Said he:
"The people must rise up and crush with ous
terrible blow tho outrages from which thy
have suffered for so many years. The rl:h
must be brought low and tho poor receive their
just rights. What a great privilege K Is to j
here iu the lnclplency of the movement i
of this grand undertaking. It Is like I
a little stream. Soon it will swell
Into a river and will roll Into Wash- i
ington with all the might and power of ;
the Amazon. As Christ appeared in the world ,
and gathered his disciples together, so do :
Brother Coxey, the embodiment of Christ, and
Brother 13 row no, one of ills disciples, and j
others, ready to complete the twelve, and they I
together will at semble the treat army of con- '
verts that next Sunday will start the might :
march that will shake the very centers cf these
United Slates."
All Stark county is awakening to a
genuine dread of the approaching reign
of Coxeyism. Towns lying along tho ,
proposed line of march of the common-
weal are actively engaged in organiz- I
ing deputy sheriff reception committees
for the nondescript peace army and its
motley company of leaders. At Can-
ton, the county seat of Stark '
count', where the army will stop
during the first night after leaving
this city, the feeling of apprehen
sion is running especially high. Sher
iff Hiram Doll has already made ar
rangements to call out companies "F,'' ,
"L" and "I" of the Eighth Ohio na- ;
tional guard. He held a secret confer- j
ence with Capts, W. U. Frease, U. S. ;
Smart and C. It. Miller, of Canton, and '
agreed that each of the 150 members of
the three companies should be formal-
ly sworn as a deputy sheriff. j
The plan of proceedings is simple
I'ut tne snerwr thinks it will prove
effective. Next Sunday night, after
the army begins its march, the militia
men, armed with carbines and provided
with ten rounds of ammunition, will
inarch in platoon organization from
Canton along the state road until they
meet Coxey and the commonweaL
They will then deploy and attend the
peace army into the city, where pickets
will be stationed at hailing distances
along the streets to prevent any depre
dations. No effort will be made to pre
vent Coxey's march or hinder him from
holding a mass-meeting on the public
square ana addressing the crowd on
the subject of "Koad-Building'
an(1 '
Non-Interest-Bearing Bonds."
The sheriff simply wishes to assure
himself that the county's peace will
not be violated. Capt, Frease came to
Massillon this morning and spent the
day in investigating the situation, with
a view to making a report to the gov
ernor. It is not regarded as probable
that the companies of the national
guard in Akron and Alliance will be
ordered out. In addition to the pre
cautions taken by the sheriff of Stark
county. Mayor Cassidy, of Canton, is
preparing greatly to enlarge tho police
force of the city.
The chief of police in Pittsburgh has
appointed a number of officers to join
the army in Massillon and watch its
movements and get acquainted with
the officers and followers. They will
travel incognito. The sheriff of Beaver
county. Pa., is taking legal advice and
will be ready for action. The sheriff of
Fayette county, Ta., sa3-sthathe will
ask for funds to pay a force of special
officers who will escort the army
through his territory. If that force is
not sufficient he will call on the gover
nor for aid.
In the meantime the tramps of the
country are slowly but surely drifting
toward Massillon. It is now such
pleasant weather that they can sleep
out of doors or in straw stacks, keep
ing out of the notice of the authorities.
The Pittsburgh train reaching Massil
lon Sunday evening was stopped four
times between stations to let off
tramps. Numerous petty cases of
thieving have occurred in the city.
Gen. Coxey's wife is much opposed to
her husband's enterprise and she has
done her best to dissuade him from
making any further attempts to carry
forward his commonweal scheme. But
the general will not be dissuaded.
