BOTH SIDES HEARD. Arguments Opened by Counsel in In the Frendergast TriaL TODD'S STRONG SPEECH. The 'Assistant State's Attorney Bevlews tne Evidence. Attorney Essex in a Pathetic Speech Contends That the Pris- oner la Insane. The arguments of Assistant State's Attor ney Todd for the prosecution and of Attorney Essex for the defense occupied- yesterday's session of the Prenderjjest trial.

Jnst what the Terdlct of the Jury will be In regard to the sanity of the prisoner is err doubtful. Six men who hare been daily attendants at the trial concluded yesterday creninr, after hearing the there was no doubt as to what the, verdict of the Jury would be. Each man was in favor of a secret ballot on what the Jury would do. The result of the vote was: Sane and responsi ble, insane and not responsible, disagreement. 2.

With this diversity of opinion among six men who have had equal opportunities for hearing the evidence with that of the Jurymen, and men who nave no Interest on either side, it la easy to under- TODD ADDRBSSBB TH JUST. ijand that the question of sane or insane is a vexed one in contemplating the men tal condition of the man who killed Carter Harrison. urawry net a onaisputea sway in tne trial yesterday. Of the half dozen attorneys in tne ease but one has finished his address to the Jury. Promptly when court convened at 10 a.

m. Mr. Todd began for the State. He spoke until 12:30, when an adjournment was taken until 3. It required an hour and twenty minutes of the afternoon session for aim to conclude his argument, and before the sound of his vote had died away Mr.

Essex opened for the defense. He spoke until 5:20 o'clock. Mr. Essex doubted his ability to close at reasonable hour, and the" court suggested that be should eon- elude this morning, and court adjourned. Mr.

Heron will follow, then Mr. MeGoorty. and last of all Mr. Wade will close -the ease for the defendant. The last speech win no maae oy Mr.

JYude, wno wilt close for the State. At this tims it is difficult to predict when Mr. Truda will get the floor. He may speak this afternoon and he may not be heard until Thursday Courtroom Crowded. Much aa may be said in derision or the attractiveness of oratory as heard in eonrt- iwms, iwrv wh at au lima jesivnuj a contradiction to the idea that people do not like it, in the size of the audience which listened to the speeches.

At no time during the trial baa the room been so crowded. Before the afternoon session began every eat was occupied and the- officers turned away a crowd who sought admission. Through the arguments of the day the prisoner sat listless and apparently very weary of the proceedings which mean Ufa and death to him. Not once did he seek to interrupt Mr. Todd, even when that attorney in the course of his address questioned tne veracity of the prisoner's mother and brother.

-At no time did he seek to give advice to his lawyers, as he has been very fond of doing heretofore. Seeming to be totally oblivious to the surroundings, he eat through the sarcastic references of Mr. Todd and the pleading of Mr. Essex with ATTORNEY ESS XX HADS XVlDKHCaV out betraying any emotion whatever. He acted like a man who had spun a coin and was waiting patiently for it to fall heads or tails.

Mingling with a crowd of well dressed women who are daily visitors, sat the little old woman with the red shawl, black bonnet and gloves, the prisoner's mother. She was the most intensely interested person in the audience, and through the day her face was a study. When Mr. Todd called at-' tent ion to a discrepancy between the testimony that she had given and that given by her son John and told the Jury that either the mother or son had lied, the face of the roomer auiaze wim indignation, wnue there was a pteasanterturn of affairs and Mr. Essex talked earnestly to the Jury in support of the Insanity pica the mother's face was pitiful in its intense anxiety and hopefulness.

When a good point was made in support of the plea that the prisoner was insane ahe would look earnestly at the Jury to see if they seemed to appreciate it. Sane or insane, as the verdict may be, these are bard days for the prisoner's mother, and without lessening their disapproval of the act that her son did, there are many who feel the deepest sympathy for the sad little woman from County Galway. Todd's Four-Boar Speech. Mr. Todd, although youthful in appear- ance, is no debutant as a Jury orator.

Kince his connection with the office of the Slate's Attorney be has fairly lived in the atmosphere of murder trials and he is now blase in the matter of efforts to eonvlet criminals. He has a very strong voice built to harmonize with his splendid physique, and he used it effectively during "his foar-hour speech yesterday, la the beginning he reminded the Jury that each of them bad given an affirmative answer the question regarding willingness to-inflict the death penalty when the' law and the evidence warranted such a verdict and told them that the state in this case would ask for sue a verdict and that there was no intermediary ground, no compromise on a sen tence to the penitentiary. It was either aane and guilty of in the first de- rree with the penalty of death, or insane and not responsible. First to claim tne attention oi air. xoua in the evidence adduced was the statement of the brother that the prisoner had made a trip up into lsconsln where be remamea in the fields for two weeks praving for the salvation of the world.

The" speaker discredited this story of an existing delusion, and to weaken it he set about to impeach the brother's evidence, be being the ooly witness who had sworn definitely about this trip. This waa attempted by showing that the brother bad sworn that the prisoner never attended Father Bar rett a school, wnue tne roomer had sworn that he bad. Mr. Todd said that either the mother or the son had sworn falsely, and intimated to the Jury that It was probably the son. He reminded them that where a witness swore falsely in re-' gard to any one fact that the Jury might disregard all evidence given by such witness, except so far as it was sustained by other witnesses.

Judge Brentano at this point interfered, and at His suggestion air. Todd ad that the law contemplated that the witness must swear "willfully and knowinplv" wronar before the evidence could be disregarded. Assailed Schilling's Testimony. George Schilling's testimony was assailed by Mr. Todd with his choicest invective.

"He shuddered when he met shouted the bis- Louisiantan. Wbv, that man was connected with the defense in the anarchist trials and has attended a hundred of the mo6t turbulent public meetings ever held in this city. He would sit on a keg of dynamite without a tremor, and yet ne tells you tnat ne waa ri i prisoner when he met him at Hull House." Throughout his speech Mr. Todd alluded often to the evidence riven by Dr. Davis, which is considered to be the main reliance of the prosecution so far as the expert testimony roes.

He called him the "Nestor of the profession," and compared each of the doctors who took the stand on the part of the defense to the star witness for the State. Dr. Church was referred to in an uncomplimentary way by the speaker for having said that the laws of Illinois were asinine so far as they related to the treatment of the insane. After severely criticising the testimony of the experts for the defense Mr. Todd thus referred to the testimony of Dr.

N. 8. Davis: Now. I ask you. take the testimony of the medical experts, and I wlU ask Ton If In all your ex pel ienoe and in all your reading you ever heard or saw a witness take the stand who was more impressive than Dr.

Davis. Hera was a mao who began to practice medicine long before the illustrious Kiernan became known as a factor In civilization. He was practising medicine before that man was born, I take It, and before those otaer neagnngs who cams aere to teettry as medical experts ever studied- medicine. Here is a man who brought to the witness stand not only experience. but the actual practice of fifty-seven years and a practitioner and a lecturer of medical Jurisprudence in this State.

Us was a dean of one of the best medical colleges in the city and a graduate of an olo-time Institution, bat strio him of his honor, strip him of his age, and take him for what he was on the stand. I ask you if his reasons and his conclusions were aot worthy of your belief and your acceptation; if there was not logic in it: if there was not wisdom in all his Judgment; if there was not force coupled with all his assertions Dr. Davis was asked the question: "From the conversation you have had with him did you see any evidences of illusion, delusion, or hallucination to which he answered: "I elicited nothing from him whatever that would indicate any fixed hallucination or illusion eteariy. Essex Pleads for Prendergast. Throughout the trial of the ease the voice of Attorney Essex has been seldom beard.

He did not examine any of the witnesses and did not make many objections to what the attorneys for the State were doinr. He' was the unknown quantity in the quartet of lawyers connected with the and when he began to address the Jury the im pression that ne made waa not particularly favorable. He soon overcame this, how ever, and by the time that he had finished half of his two-hour speech the audience saw that he was doing some very effective work. His manner is peculiar in its quiet ness, liarely raising bis voice above a conversational tone be held the close attention of the Jury while he went over the evidence and brought numerous good reasons to sap-port the theory that his client was not ac countable lor what he did. The most startling statement made bv Mr.

Essex was that he believed that if Prendergast could have gone to Washington at the time-of the great interest in the silver legislation during the special session of Congress last summer, 'he would have killed Cleveland. He did not have the money to get there, and so confined his attention toward doing what his impulsive delusion told him was for the best good of the local public by killing the man who, in his diseased mind, stood in his way of "becoming Corporation Counsel, and thus prevented the elevation of the railroad tracks. Corporation Counsel Kraus waa censured in the course of Mr. Essex's speech for encouraging Prendergast to believe that he was to be his successor instead of turning him over to the police. He said in part: Says Be Was a Paranoiac The doctors upon the stand for the defease and for the State have testified as to the facta in a case of paranoia They tell you that a paranoiac is a man that is insane on delusions, and that a pars no lac Is not responsible for his actions, and does not know the difference between right and wrong.

Is this defendant a paranoiac according to the doctors, or is he not? One of his delusions Is that he must be Corporation Counsel, and to be Corporation Counsel he must be a lawyer, and to be a lawyer he must get Into somebody's office, and be believes that he must elevate the tracks, and in order to do so some one must be removed. Thee he goes and gets a revolver and kills the Mayor of the city, because he thinks be is benefiting mankind. Not because be thinks he is doing anything to elevate himself, but because he is interested in humanity. Mr. Essex then continued to read abort extracts from nearly all the witnesses for the prosecution until the honr of adjournment arrived, when he announced to the court that be would complete his address thia morning.

THE DAILY INTEB OCEAK. WEDNESDAY MOENING, DECEMBER 27, 1893. CITY SHORT OF CASH. Money Needed for payment of Bonds and Interest BANKS TO CARE FOR THEM. Employes "Will Receive Their Pay January 2.

Chris Mamer Receives His County Appointment Objection to an Electric Light Plant For thU year, at least, the Comptroller has arranged for the payment of all labor billa for the elty. and, though the city em ployes did not get paid before unristmaa, and in all probability will not be paid be fore New Year's, every cent coming to tnem will be nald in full the first of the year. One of the greatest bugbears to Comptroller Wetherell waa how to meet payments on bonds which mature the first of the com ing year, and the interest on other elty bonds coming doe at the same time. This interest account amounts to $475,000 yearly. Of this amount the city has only been able to pay the odd thousanda of dol lars leaving $400,000 still to be paid.

The bonds maturing the first of the year amount to $190,000. The Comptroller yesterday made arrangements with the five city banks in which the city deposits its money for the payment of these maturing bonds and the $400,000 of interest. These banks are the Metropolitan National, the Atlas National, the Globe National, the American Trust and Savings, and the Corn Exchange. The $600,000 in round figures is divided up among them, each bank agreeing to stand one-fifth of the amount. Homey Eaoagh ia Sight.

Thia relieves the city temporarily of the greatest financial burden to be carried. The $600,000 is a liability and must be paid some time, but for the present it need not be considered. The general fund from which all floating indebtednesses are paid was depleted, but the Comptroller has borrowed $190,000 from the water fund, an amount which nnder a previous administration waa borrowed from the general fand to help out the water fund and turned it into the general fund. The receipts of the City Collector's office for the first three weeks of December were $780,000. It is estimated that this week the receipt will reach at least S300.000.

This amount, to gether with that borrowed from the water fand, will enable the city to meet all its labor bills, and also to pay a few other accounts, We will get through the year all right now." aald the Comptroller. "The employes can be paid the first of the year. I shall cease to be Comptroller tomorrow night, and, my successor will have to ar- range for pay day. But the money la on hand for the purpose." It wss noised a be A yesterday that the received oy tne comptroller ror the Throop street electric light property had also been turned into the general fund and paid out, and that the new plant could not, therefore be erected until the Council had made an appropriation for it. This is not the fact, it is claimed the books of the Treasurer's office ahowing the $143,000 de posited to the credit of the electric lighting fund.

employed by Mayor 8wlft to report on the exact condition of the city finances will, it is expected, make a report today. Mayor Swift says he has no definite information of what the report will contain, but he un derstands It shows a deficit oi $1,000,000. Speaking of the financial condition of the city yesterday Alderman Madden, chair man oi tne council nuance committee, am; -The long and short of It is that the ren oral fund Is about $1,200,000 less than our annual appropriation bill. Naturally if laere oe a decrease tne estimated revenues of the city from other sources than taxation, for licenses, etc, we have not money enough to pay our bills for the general fond baa been already exhausted. There is but one thing to do and that is to make our appropriation bill less than our revenue for several years and to turn the saving into the general fund.

In that way the general fund will grow to the size of the annual expenditures and we will always have money with which to pay our billa. I am in favor thia coming year of making the appropriation bill aay $300,000 less than our estimated revenue. Suppose the estimated revenue should fall off $100,000 from what we expected it would. We would still have $400,000 to turn into the general fund. Suppose it increased $100,000.

We would then have $600,000 to turn into the general fund. By repeating this several years the general fund would be increased to an amount in excess of any years' expenditures, and we would always have money on hand with which to meet all our obligations. Our general fund, you understand, is Just like a man's bank account The taxes of last year went into the general fund and were need this year. The taxes of this year have gone into the general fand to be used next year. It is our bank account on which we draw each year to pay our bills and in which each year we deposit our savings.

But we must Increase it to a point in excess of any possible expenditure, and we will then always have enough money." CHBU MAKER'S KBW JOB. The Ex-CoDeetor Usee Ives the Appointment of Saparlntendeat ef Pablle Service. Chris Mamer, ex-Collector' of Internal Revenue, was yesterday appointed County Superintendent of Public Service at a meet ing of the County Board. The appointment was made by President Strnckman shortly after the board waa called to order. A number of Mr.

Mamer's Bepublican friends were present to witness the proceedings. There were no formal remarks made, the appointment being simply announced. Mr. Mamer will go into office on Jan. at which' time Michael Eyland, who was superintendent nnder the Democratic regime, will retire.

The board transacted no important business. A number of contracts were let to various bidders for supplies for county institutions during the next three months. The bids were in response to the advertisements of Superintendent Hyland. The matter of the publication of legal notices, etc, was referred to the public service committee for recommendation. The newspaper which has done the work under eon-tract for the past year submitted another bid.

A check accompanied it. Another paper also bid for the work, but inelosed no check, and the board promptly rejected it 1 OBJECT TO TBI PLANT. Sew Electric Light Station to Be Opposed by Eleventh Ward Aldermen. Mayor Swift and Alderman Kent, of the Eleventh Ward, are preparing to make a vigorous fight in the Council over the proposition to erect the new West Side electric light plant on the new site oa West Polk street near Ashland avenue. Comptroller Wetherell and City Electrician Barrett when making the deal with the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad for the present electric light plant on Tbrjoop street took this West Polk street lot in exchange for the old one.

They proposed building a new electric light plant on the new site but the property owners held an indignation meeting to prevent It. The two Aldermen of the ward will fisrht the proposition to the Utmost City Electrician Barrett says he does not care where the lot is as long as it fet in that immediate neighborhood and that if another equaUy as good site is given he will willingly ancept it- The Comptroller says he has no personal interest in the matter and would as soon have another aite as the one be has selected. He does not agree, however, that the erection of the plant in tiie place wonld prove a detriment to Ashland avenue property -and points to the electric light plant and the water pumping station near Michigan avenue and the North Side water-works as showing that such plants have not injured that property. The whole matter is now in the Council committee on streets and alleys west City aad County Notes.

The new extension of the water-pipe system from the Lake View water-works to tbe district above Humboldt Park Is now complete, except for a few connect ions, which will be made lu a few days. Then the water supply on Milwaukee avenue will be greatly improved.

The main fault with the system In that thoroughfare, however. Is that the mains there are not large enough, being but twelve-inch to Division street and six-Inch from there to the eltv limits. City Engineer Artlngsiall says there will be aa improvement out there before next week.

88. 7 Ui Em or. Dear Sir: A well-meaning friendly article, but baaed on laaocurate inrormatioa. regarding the building of the First Beglment Armory, appeared la oaa of tha daily papers a day or two since. TO correct say misapprehension which may have bean caused thereby, I desire to state that architects have been Instructed that ae bids exceeding 8128,000, total cost, will be considered.

This Is tha smallest amount with which it la believed the armory can be replaced In available shape. There will be some Improvements over the old armory, but they will be mainly la methods of construction looking to better security against Ore and greater safety for the men. It is intended to complete the rlflerrangea, which are imperatively necessary for the proper qualinoe-tkm of the regiment In handling the rifle. Outside of these minor changes no material improvements are ooBtemptated. We are aot contemplating the building of aa elegant club-bouse, but are trying to get a thoroughly practical, safe, aad well -constructed building for tha least money possible.

No one need fear the slightest extravagance la our re building, and all can be assured that every dollar which maybe subscribed or given will be made to go to the utmost limit possible in Drovldlnv an nmnimlni and substantial home for tbe regiment. If you will kindly give plaoe to this eommunt-catloa it may correct some mlssaprehensioa which seems to have arisen oa the part of some i intending subscribers. Yours very truly.
