CUT TO THE QUICK.
Prendergast Grows Angry at Lawyer Trude's Denunciation.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN THE COURTROOM
Inflamed by the Froa.cutor'a Powerful Cloaiujr Argument tli. Prisoner Wildly Interrupt. 111m Be la
Caught In a Trap.
THE TRIAL NKAKLY KNDKD. CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—Thursday was the last day of argument in the Prender(fast case. Mr. Trude for the prosecu tion had not completed when court adjourned, but ho will this morning, and than will follow the charge to the jury by Judge Brentano. Some time to-duy the cose will go to the jury for a verdict, and with the twelve men will rest the decision as to whether Prendergast is guilty or if a diseased mind is czcuse for the murder which he committed. It is expected that a speedy verdict will be arrived at by the jury.
Prendergast trembled, fretted and then turned livid with rage while A. 8. Trude denounced him before the jury. The crowds that packed the courtroom witnessed a remarkable dramatic scene. Again and again the man who shot Mayor Harrison shouted defiance to the attorney, and when the court adjourned at 5 o'clock Attorney Wade said, despairingly: "Prendergast has done more to-day to hang himself than all the witnesses and attorneys put together."
Scored by the Lawyer.
Mr. Trude had been confining himself to the law for some time, but at 4 o'clock he began a description of Mayor Harrison's last acta. With the pistol used by the murderer in his hands he was describing the manner in which Prendergast went to the Harrison residence, and, animated by malice, fired the two shots. Prendergast kept moving nervously in his chair until, when Mr. Trude was telling how the mayor fell to the floor a smile passed over his face. Mr. Trudo, quick to catch the effect of this unseemly mirth, 6aid, still pointing to wher« he sat: "These are the statements which are made to you about this man, wlioRe face now wears a smile of derision and contempt—"
Prendergaat Creates a Scene.
Prendergast could bear the stinging remarks no longer, lie sprang from his seat, his face livid with rage, his eyes blazing, and lifting his left hand as high as he could he shouted: "I was not animated by mailed I swear before high heaven that I was not animated by malice. If I am hanged you will be my murderer!"
The jurymen and every person in the courtroom started. Two bailiffs pulled the prisoner back into his chair. But the suddeu burst of passion had exhausted him. He sunk down and in a few moments was as pale as the wall by which he sat. He trembled and put his hands ovei his eyes, completely exhausted. lu a few moments Mr. Trude again attacked the prisoner, stating to the jury that Prendergast was acting wUen a little while before he inodo the outcry. "I'd do the same thin# over again," Baid Prendergast. "But, Mr. Prendergast," continued the attorney, addressing tho prisoner, "while you were in jail you didn't say that to the doctors." "Yes, but aslt Dr. Spray retorted the prisoner. Ho was interrupted by the judge, who ordered him to remain quiet.
Mr. Trude, continuing, described the scene in the county jail when the funeral of the mayor passed up Dearborn street and said: "The other prisoners, deprived of their liberty, but with still a sense of justice in their breasts, yelled: 'Hang Prendergast!"' "They were friends of Harrison whom he had pardoned out of the bridewell," interpolated Prendergast. A few moments later he shouted at Trude: "You're a coward! You ought to be hanged!"
Caught the Assassin lu a Trap.
When Mr. Trude returned to the scene of the murder he described how Prendergast, when interrupted by the coachman, pointed the pistol at the latter. "It's a lie," said the prisoner. "I never pointed the pistol at any man except Harrison."
Said Mr. Trude: "Ah, see, gentlemen, how well he remembers now what took place then. The law says no intane man can do that If I live under an Insane delusion whatever takes place is never known, gentlemen of the jury." And, turning to the counsel for the defense, Mr. Trude said: "Show me an authority and 1 will read it to the jury, wherever a man committed an act of murder."
Prendergast again interrupted with a snarl, as he said: "Prove malice if you can." "Under the Influence of his delusion show me an authority where any man was ever able to tell a word that he said or a thing that' I10 did, and I will read it to the jury."
Since the opening of this famous murder ease there have not been enacted such scenes as marked Thursday's proceedings. Prendergast had given up his habit of interrupting counsel and witnesses and for a week had sat without a murmur of objection. This, however, was too much lor him, and he broke in with the interruptions which it was evident impressed the prisoner's lawyers as being to his decided disadvantage.

FRAUD IS CHARGED.
Petition for the Removal of Northern Pacific Receivers.
MILWAUKEE. Dec. 29.—The Northorn Pacific railroad company by Silas W. Pettit, of Philadelphia, general counsel, has filed before Judge Jenkins of the United .States court a petition for the removal of the present receivers of th« road, Thomas F. Oakes, Henry C. Payne and Henry C..House.
The bill declares that Oakes, as president of the company, appointed R. G. Kalston, president of the Farmers' Loan and Trust company of New York, chairman of the finance committee of the road. At this time It la asserted the line was in good financial condition and had 12,000,000 in the treasury.
Summarized, the road applies for a change of receivers upon tho ground that at the time the receivers were appointed it practically had no hearing that its managers had In less than a year saddled it with the interest of
IflO.uOO.OOO
for proper
ties which were of no value to it, but in many of which they were personally interested and out of which they made largo profits, and that when insolvency was produced by this fraud and mismanagement the president of the company and the president of the trustee of the mortgage, who had participated in the fraud and mismanagement, colluded together to put tho road in tho hands of receivers who were nominated by them for the purpose of and with tho effect of perpetuating tho same control which had brought about the bankruptcy. "In the light of these facts," said the petition, "it is plain that it will be impossible to reorganize the road unless and until its control and management is put In the hands of competent people, and as the Oakes management has shown conclusively that It cannot be trusted it would seem impossible to reorganize it until it is taken out of their hands."
UNDER ARREST.
Corliett ami Mitchell Testing the Flor Ida I.aws.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Deo 29.—Corbett and Mitchell on Thursday voluntarily gave themselves up to the authorities in order to forestall arrest at a later date and to test the legality of the proposed contest Both were taken before Judge Baker and each gave bonds in the sum of $1,500 to appear before the criminal court January 8, 1894. The warrants charged them with having agreed to participate in a prize fight which was to come off within the boundaries of Florida.
This latest move on the part of the managers of the Duval club was entirely unexpected by the outsiders. On Monday, January 1, either Mitchell or Corbett will be surrendered by his bondsmen. After he has been taken into custody a writ of habeas corpus will be applied for. If it Is decided that the arrest was illegal then preparations for the fight will continue with increased vigor, as that will be looked upon as an evidence that no further opposition to the fight can legally be made. If the arrest is considered legal, then tho Duval managers say that the battle will be declared off and all work will be stopped. The managers are oonfldent, however, that the decision will be favorable to them, and this feeling is shared by the majority of the citizens.

OPF1CERS IN rURSrrr.
FRESNO, Cat, Dec. liO. At fl:IO 9'clock
Thursday evening Chris Evans,
the notorious train robber, escaped from the county jail. Deputy Sheriff Bcott was on duty, the regular night jailer, Ben Merritt, boing absent 8cott went on at o'clock and found everything all right. About B:H0 Mrs. Evans, who had arrived in the morning from Visalia, came to the jail to see her husband. She went to tho upper corridor where Kvans was confined and they talked together for awhile. Shortly after 0 o'clock a man came to the jail door with supper for Evans. Scott admitted him and let Evans out into the open space between the upper corridor and the jail office. Scott locked the xvalter in with Evans and his wife, after which he left them. Evans ate for cawhile, when the waiter, whose name is Ed Morel, asked to be l*t out, as he wanted to leave.
The Jailer's Story.
Scott continued: "I went up to ihe grated door and unlocked It. I had no sooner done so than Morel pulled a six-shooter on me and ordered me to throw up my hands. I supposed ho was Joking and did not obey. Just then Chris steppod up and said: -That's right, Ben, put your hands up.' "I saw they meant business then, and did as I waB told. Evans then demanded to be let out of the back door of the Jail through the kitchen, but I told him I hadn't the keys. They were in the sale. They then said they would go out at tho front door liefore leaving they searohed me, They stated their Intention of making me go with them, and I protested. It was no use, however, and I was marohed out between iliem, Mrs. Evans was the only one in the Jail besides myself and the prisoners and Morel. She remained behind, having apparently fallen into a faint "Evans allowed mo to look the door of the Jail behind us. I was marched to the streot entrance to the oourthouse grounds by Evans and Morel. We out aoross the street and went up Mariposa street. "At the corner we met a man and Evans ordered him to come along. The rollow saw what was going on and made tracks in another dlreotlon. Morel was somewhat in advauoe and when we got to the AdvenUst church I suddenly heard a shot Believing 1 was boing fired upon I started to rua Evans ordered me not to, but I broke away, and coming do»n town gavo an alarm. I heard another •hot while running away. While going toward the church montioned Evans told me his wife had nothing to do with bis escape."
Shot the City Marshal.
The shots heard by Scott were fired undoubtedly by Evans, and one of them struck City Marshal Morgan. When Morel went ahead he came across City Marshal Morgan and W. M. Wyatt, a capitalist, who were standing talking together a little east of the Mariposa streot entrance to the Adventlst church. Morel ordered them to hold up their hands, and they did so. He then took Morgan's pistol and was turning his attention to Wyatt when Morgan turned suddenly and caught Morel about the waist, pinning his arms to his sides. Morel struggled and yelled, "Shoot him." Wyatt was about to take away Morel's pistol when Evans came up and cried: "Lei go that man or I'll kill you." Morgan feeling further resistance useless was about to release Morel when Evans fired, hitting Morgan in the right shoulder, inflicting a painful though not dangerous wound.
He Get* Away.
Evans and his pal then attempted to get- into a buggy near by, but the horses, frightened by tho shots, plunged and reared and finally broke away. The fugitives ran to Mono and streets and came across a man named Willard Cochran riding along in a cart. They fired at him several times, making him alight They then took possession of the cart and drove away. The escape has caused intense excitement and officers have gone out in all directions to pursue the men.
Evaoa' Career.
Evans was recently convicted of murder in tho first degree for killing Deputy United States Marshal Wilson In the famouB fight at Simpson's Flat and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. He was.yet to be tried for the murder of Deputy Sheriffs McGinnls and Beaver and several trainrobberlefe. In the fight at Stone Corral, where Evans was oaptured and Son tagkilled, Evans had an eye shot out and his right hand so badly injured that it had to be amputated.

A BIG CROWD CHEERS THE VERDICT.
Kicltlng Scene in an Indianapolis Court--Tlio Defendant, Accused or Being a Poisoner, Faints on Learning That
She Is Free— IJIstorj' of the Case.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 29.—After being out for twelve hours tho jury in the Annie Wagner murder case brought in a verdict of not guilty. The courtroom was crowded, and the announcement of the verdict was received with cheor after cheer. During a soeno of the wildest confusion the prisoner fainted away. Through the trlul Annie Wagner has manifested the most stoical indifference and it was not until the verdict of the jury that her feelings obtained mastery over her. Mr. Holtzmnn, tho prosecutor, announced that as the state had failed to convict in this, its best case, and owing to the state of public opinion, he deemed it best to dismiss the other two indictments for murder against the prisoner.
Not since tho trial of Mrs. Nancy Clem for tl.c murder of Jacob Young and wife at Cold Springs, north of this city, twenty years ago, has the Indianapolis public been us much interested in a murder trial as in the case which has just closed. tJUtory of the Citso.
Anna Warner was servant in the family of Charles Koesters at 450 South Meridian street. On May 22 last Mrs. Clara Koesters, aged 78, the mother of Charles Koesters. died very suddonly. The ooroaer was called upon to Investigate and found that tho doath of Mrs. Koesters was the fifth that had taken place in the Koentero family since October 15, 1892.
Looking further for evidence of a crlmc, a druffgist» George P. BorsU at Meridian street and Kussell avenue, was found, who said that Anna Wagner had purchased a box of "rough on rats" from his store on May 22. The family physician was Dr. Reyer, who told the coroner that he had uo doubt Mrs. Clara Koesters hud died from poison, and advised that an analysis of the stomach of the dead woman be made The coroner gave tho viscera of the dead woman to Dr. Klseubeiss for analysis, and the doctor reported back that arsenlo had been found In sufficient Quantities to cause death Ou this evidence Anna Wagner was arrested. At tho time of her arrest, the prisoner denied having any poison in her possession, although the half emptied box was afterward found in tho closet where she kept her olothos. She was taken to the drug store where the poison was bought, and whe denied to Druggist Borst over having bought aay 'Tough on rata'1 from him. Charles Koesters added a sensation to the story of the orlme by making a statement that he thought the woman was in love with him, and ho furnished the motive for the orime by suggesting that she wanted to get his wife and children out of the way to make room for him to marry her.
All Wore Poisoned.
The people in the Keosters family who died under suspicious circumstances were: Mary Keosters, age 81, the wife of Charles, October 15, 1802 the baby, age 8 months, found dead in bed January 4 189.1 Prank L. Koesters, age 74, the father of Charles, January 20 Mary M. Koesters, age 8, daughter of Charles, February 27, and last, Clara Koesters, age 73. Eaoh of them, except the baby, was ill for about the same length of time and showed the same symptoms. Tho evidenco taken before the coroner was of such nature that he folt Justified in ordering the bodies of tho dead exhumed aud thofr stomachs removed. This was done and the visceea was turned ovor to Dr. Eisenbelss for analysis. The doctor did not make a complete report for Beveral weeks, but at the end of that period he announced that he had found arsenic in every one of the stomachs submitted to him.
Sent to Jail.
Anna Wagner had a hearing in the police court on Tuesday, Juno 80. The examination lasted until Juno 22, at which time tho prisoner was admitted to bail In the sum of $2,50J.
