The Murderer Secretly Conducted

Back to the Scene of His Crime,
‘thre the Inquest Was .Held, and
Later is Taken to Jail—No Further
Talk of Violence-f'I‘he Postmortem
Reveals Five Bullet Wounds—~The
Assassin Non-Communicative.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—-Patrick Eugene
Prendergast, the crank who Saturday
night assassinated Mayor Harrison, is
now safely locked up in cell No. 11
in the county jail. There is no
longer any fear of lynching, but the
higher officials of the police department
thought it best to be on the safe side, and
at 7 o’clock yesterday morning Prender-
gast was removed quietly from the central
station, where he was first confined, to
one of the outlying police stations.

Up to the time of his removal Prender-
gast maintained the sullen, defiant and
ind'ffcrent attitude that he had shown
ever since he gave himself up to desk Ser-
geant Barber at Desplaines street.

NO Doubt of His Insanity.

Despite the assertion of Dr. Laidlow,
the Prendcrgast family physician, that the
assassin had never shown any indication
of mental aberatiou, there is no doubt in
he minds of those who have seen and con-
versed with him that he is insane. His
actions for several weeks pastconfirm this
supposition.

lie has been writing threatening postal
cards to various city official; he'has threa-
ened the life of the mayor in the presence
of Mr“ Graham, the mayor’s secretary;
he has demanded that Corporation Coun-
sel Kraus should resign in his favor, and
his whole conduct has been that of aman
mentally unbalanced, whose mania, tak-
ing a homicidal turn, settled upon Mayor
Harrison as the imaginary author of his
wrongs.

A. Feeling of Sorrow and Horrow.

In Chicago to-day there is a. universal
I feeling of sorrow and horror, but public
indignation no longer threatens to vent it-
self in the form of an attempt at lynching.

It is realized that the parallel which
was at first drawn betwaen the assassina-
tion of President Garfield by Guiteau and
the present murder is not a true one.
Guitran was a disappointed office-seeker
who had some qualifications and some
claims to office. He was a monomaniac,
i1; i4. true, but he was undoubtedly respon-
sible for his actions.

Prendergast, howaver, is beyond doubt
a lunatic pure and simple. He had stud‘
ied and read cranky economic theories
until his mind gave way.

Imagined Himself a Reformer.

He imagined that he was a reformer.

He had schemes for the betterment of
all mankind. He was especially interested
in the Welfare of Chicago and imagined
that he alone could reform the abuses
from which the city is suffering. He was
especially bitter in his denunciation of the
railroad grade crossings which are respon-
sible for many deaths every year, and the
idea became fixed in his mind that if he
were made corporation counsel he could
solve the problem of elevating all the rail-
road tracks within the city limits.

Particulars of the Crime.

The details of the shooting obtained to-
day do not vary materially from the ac.
count first sent out. _

Mayor Harrison had been to the world’s
fair with his son Carter H. Harrison, jr.,
and had returned home about 6 o’clock.
The son remained at the'fair. Though
tired out with the day’s sight—seeing the
mayor was in good humor and chatted
gay] y with his younger son, William Pres-
ton Harrison, and his daughter Sophie. No
cloud of presentment came to disturb the
happiness of the father and children.

Mr. Harrison had not noticed, as he
walked down Ashland avenue, that a. man
was leaning heavily on the railing sur-
rounding the house. The man was Pren-
dcrgast.

Laying for His Victim. ~

IIc waited at the corner of Jackson
street, watching the lighted window, mut-
tering threats of vengeance against the
man who he deemed had blighted his life
by refusing him office.‘ A lunatic, with-
out qualification for the office he sought-

A Boston Boy’s Eyesight.
Saved-Perhaps His Life

. By Hood’s Sarsaparflla—Blood Po!-
soned by Canker..

Read the following from a grateful mother:-
“ My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years

 

old, and it left him very weak and with blood ,

poisoned with canker. His eyes became
so inflamed that his sufferings were intense, and.
for seven weeks he

Could Not Open His Eyes.
I took him twice during that time to the Eye
and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their
remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow
of good. I commenced giving him Hood’s

Sarsaparllla and it soon cured _him. I have
never doubted that it saved hm night, even
it not his very life. You may use this tes-
timonial in any way you choose. I am always
ready to sound the praise of

because of the wonderful good it did my son.”

Ideal about .the Single. tr

corporation counsel. .1 4 .

While the assassin watched, the father

chatted with his children and smiled as he

' told the story of his journey that day
through the White City. _ '

He was feeling particularly happy at the

prospect of his approaching marriage.
His Botrothcd W'as Near.

Miss Annie Howard was at his son’s
house a. few paces away and he spoke sev-
eral times to his son and daughter about
her. "

After dinner. Preston Harrison went up
stairs to his room. Miss Harrison went
around to her brothers house in Marshfield
avenue. The mayor declared he would
rest in the dining room for a while, and
shortly before 8 o’clock he had fallen into
- a light slumber.

The table had been cleared, and the
servants closed the kitchen door so that
the household clatter might not disturb
the sleeper. .

About ten minutes so eight, the assassin
left his post of observation and walked
quickly toward the entrance gates. He
ran; the bell slowly and deliberately,
without that nervous ring denoting a man
in haste. Ho staggered a. little as the flood
of light from Within revealed him to th
servant as she opened the door. -

The Assassin in the House. ..

In a hesitating way he asked if the
mayor was in.

“Yes,” answered the girl.

“I want to see him,” said Prendergast.

The girl hesitated as Prendergast did
not seem to her the sort of man to admit
into the house. Brushing past her the
murderer said that he must see the mayor.
The door was left open, while the servant
tried to learn the'visitor’s business.

Hearing the noise the mayor aw0ke and
Was on his feet in an instant.

Stepped Out to His Death.

He walked through the door leading
from the dining room into the hallway
and caught a. glimpse of the man who
wanted to see him.

“Well, what do you want with me?"
asked the mayor, in his bluff, hearty
way.

At the sound of his voice the girl left
Prendergast and disappeared within the
kitchen, not before, however,
heard the man mutter something about
wanting to be corporation counsel. Pren—
dergast declared afterward that he did
not say a word to the mayor.

As the latter came toward him, with the
peculiar swing for which he was noted,
without a word the assassin stepped for-
ward and fired. The only warning of
death received by Mr. Harrison was the
gleam of a revolver, as Prendergast pulled
it out of his pocket.

Death Came Swift 1y.

Leveling the Weapon at the mayor as
be advanced, the assassin fired. The
mayor clutched at his breast and tried to
pluck out the biting pain, wh’ch seemed
to paralyze his heart. Staggering back-
ward he grasped at the wall for sup-
port. -

Prendergast followed the tottering man.

He brought the hammer down again and
the bullet plowed through the stomach of
the mayor. The first missile had passed
through the right breast and penetrated the
lungs. Retreating still before the mur-
deter the mayor staggered into the dining
room. Prendergast still followed the now
dying man. ' ’

‘I'he mayor’s face Was convuiseu ‘W‘lbll
pain.

Blood was flowing from the wound in
the stomach. The agony of death was on
the mayor, as he vainly tried to clutch the
wounded spot on his breast. With his
face aflame with hate and revenge and in-
sanity, Prendergast was still unsatisfied in
his lust for blood.

For the third time he raised the revols
ver. The old man, bleeding internally and
dying, turned toward the murderer as the
hammer came down again. The little
strength left him impelled the mayor to
throw up his left hand to stop the bullet.
Death had already come to him.

His lifeblood was ebbing away. Yet the
instinct of self-preservation, the strong de-
sire for life made the brave old man thrust
out his weakened arm. His left hand al-
most grasped the barrel of the revolver.

Another flash, a loud report and the
bullet ploughed its way through his hand,
almost shattering the little finger. The
missile buried itself in the wall.

As the last shot shattered Mr. Harrison’s
hand, a terrible cry broke out. The Vser-
vants screamed and tried to get out the
back door. Preston Harrison, who had
been reading in his room upstairs, came
bounding down the stairs. Before he
could get near his father, the coachman,
Charles Perth had dashed from the ser-
vant’s dining room into the private dining
room,

L'rendergast fired at the coachman, but

missed. Then the murderer turned and
left the house. Parth rushed to the barn,
got his own revolver, and gave chase to
the murderer. Prendergast had gone to-
ward Madison street and the coachman
lost sight of him. Perth chased another
man along the avenue yelling: “Stop the
murderer,” but it appeared later that he
had got' the wrong man. Prendergast
continued his way to the Desplaines street
station.

Called for His Prospective Bride.

At the house of death the mayor lay
breathing heavily and calling for his
. future bride. '

Preston Harrison had heard the reports
of the shots which he thought Were like
explosions. Instinctively he ran to the
patrol alarm and rang it. Hearlng his
father’s groans, he ran into the dining
room. “I’m shot, Willie,” murmured the
dying man. “This is death, I feel it.
Bring a doctor. Bring Annie, bring An-

nie.” Away went the son flying for a
doctor. Ulric King and Dr. Foster soon”
came. The doctor made an examination

of the wounds, but he shook his head.
There was no hope. Hardly had he ceased
his examination when Preston Harrison

. ran in, followed by Dr. Lyman and two

other physicians.- The mayor was carried
gently into the kitchen and everything
was done to case his pain. ‘

A Crank on Sin gle Tait.
Prendergast’s relatives are firm in their
belief that he is sane, but they admit that
he has always had SO'HB kind of ’a' hobby,
and for several years he has talked a great

THE INQUEST.

 

Prendergast Secretly Conducted Back
to the Place Offlls Crime.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30. ——History of the shoot-
ing retold and statements of physicians
occupied the attention of the coroner’s jury
at the Harrison residence for an hour yes-
terday. Excepting a technical description
of the wounds little was added to the in
formation already at the disposal of the
officers of the law. The verdict recom-
mended that Prendergast be held for the
murder until discharged by due process of
law.

The announcement was made that
Preudcrgast would not be present, but he
was driven in a closed carriage 'to the
back door and slipped in without his pres-
ence being being known outside of the
house. He came in charge of Lieut. Haas
and was driven away by the same officer.
He made no demonstration of violence and
crowds in the streets near the mayor’s
house were in ignorance. of the officer’s
plans. '

After the inquest the prisoner was
turned over to the county authorities and
locked up in jail.

Five Bullet “rounds Found.

According to the postmortem examina-
tion, results of which were submitted to

* the jury, five bullet wounds made by four

bullets were found in the mayor’s body.

- Three balls remained in the body. One

lodged in themuscles of the back. Another
passed through the liver and was found in
the bov'vels. The third struck" near, the
shoulder and ranging downward, lodged
under the skin. '

WHO WILL SUCCEED HARRISON?
The Laws of Chicago Provide ,fOr No‘
' Emergency of This Kind. '
'CmoAGo,'Oct. 30.—Opinions vary as to
the Succession to themayoralty made va—
cant by the assassination of Mayor Ha'rri— '
so'n.
‘ Corporation Counsel Kraus says that
pending the election of a new mayor the
council would, in his Opinion, be empow-
ered to select a mayor pro tem.

Alderman Madden, chairman of the
finance committee of the city council says:
"The city statutes are rather vague in
reference to an emergency of this kind.
From 'what I can learn after a hasty ex-
amination of thé‘statutes it appears that
\vlu'n a vacancy ccéurs in the office of
mayor, and the unexpired term is less than
one year, it is within the jurisdiction of
tlie city council to elect a mayorwpro tem,
who shall have all the powers and-,fiuties
of a mayor and shallfill out the unexpired
term. But in the event that a vacancy
occurs in the office of mayor and the un-
expired term is more than one year, then
the city council shall meet and elect a
mayor pro tem, but shall also calla special
election for the people to elect a mayor to
fill out the unexpired term.”

A. S. Trude, eminent as an authority on
local municipal law, says: “Chicago has
no mayor. No one can succeed Mr. Har~
rison. There is an absolute silence in the
laws concerning this point. Nobody but
the mayor has the veto power and in this
the point lies. The man who has this
powei' is dead, and when he is gone, no
person can become his successor by right
oflprecedence in oilicial ranks. Once in
the Colvin‘administration, when the mayor
was absent, the comtrollcr attempted to
act- as mayor of the city, but no acts of his
was recognized as official. There is no
president of the city council. There is a
chairman elected at each meeting when
the mayor is absent, but this election is
temporary and only viva voce anyhow.”

Funeral Arrangements.

CHICAGO, Oct. lid—According to the
plans already decided upon the funeral of
Carter Harrison will take place on Tues-
day, from the city hall, and the casket will
be temporarily placed in the vault of
Graceland cemetery. Unless the city
council should decide otherwise at its
meeting this morning the remains will be
taken to the city hall this evening and lie
in state until noon to-morrow.

Later a change was made in the f uneral
arrangements by the family and it was
decided to remove the remains to the city
hall on Tuesday instead of to-day, the
funeral ceremonies to be held on Wedn es~

' day afternoon. '

Many Messages of Sorrow.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30. ——A pile of telegraphic
dispatches nearly two feet in length occu-
pied the center of the table in the library
of the Harrison mansion this morning.
The winged messages of sorrow and regret
came from almost every state and territory
of the union.

 

ANOTHER WAR SHIP non mo

The Big Cruiser New York “fill G0
at Once.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.——-The big armored
cruiser New York has received orders to
prepare immediately to proceed to Brazil.

Immediately upon receipt of the order
telegrams Were sent out from the cruiser
recalling all officers on leave of absence.
One officer, Ensign Dashiel, who is under-
going, at the Naval department, examina-
tion for promotion, has been ordered to re-
pair at once aboard his ship.

The orders to the New York are reported
to be of the most mandatory sort. No ef-
fort is to be spared to hurry the ship oflf at
the earliest possible moment.

It is announced that the successor to
Acting Rear Admiral Stanton will sail for
Rio de Janeiro on the New York. . Vgho
this Officer will be is not yet known. There
is every reason to believe, though, that
Commodore Richard Meade has been se-‘
lected. ‘

The New York is lying at the Brooklyn
navy yard. Of late the navy yard work-
men :have been busily engaged in fitting
torpeto tubes to the big ship. She is un-
providcd with torpedoes and in the event of
a fight with avessel of her own. class so
provided, would be placed at a serious dls-
advantage.

The sudden orders to the New York are
ascribed in naval circles to the desire of the
administration to have present at Rio de
J aneiro a naval force the equal if not the

' superior of that of any other country. The

arrival of the New York at Rio will give
the United States five warships there, the
New York, Newark, Charleston, Detroit
and Yantic.

At present the United States is repre-
sented at Rio de J aneiro by the Newark
and Charleston. The Detroit is on her way
to that port from the Barbados. The Yan-
tic is making the best of her way up the
Brazil coast from Montevideo.

TRAFFIC TO THE FAIR.

Chicago Railroads Brought In About
' 3,335,000 People.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—Chicago roads are
busily engaged in figuring up the World’s
fair traffic since the opening of the expo-
sition. With most of them the conclusions
arrived at are but estimates based on the
most reliabl data at hand. It will be a.
month or soebefore strictly reliable figures
can be had. So far as the figures on hand
go, they show that the number of people
brought into Chicago by the 21 passenger '
lines entering here during the period of:
the fair was in round numbers 8,835,000.
Allowing each of these passengers to have
visited the fair five times would account
for an attendance of 16,755,000, which
would be ‘a good proportion of outside
visitors. It would leave but a. little over 5,-
000,000 visits from Chicagoans.

 

Prodigal and Crooked.

EASTON, Pa, Oct. 30,—Irvin Beagle,
who, after running through his wife’s in-
heritance of $13,000 and getting away
with his own money, disappeared, leaving
debts of $40,000, has been located at,
Wutertown, Ia. Au omcer has started
for that place to _bring him back. He
forged the name of Levi Coleman, justice
of the peace of Palmer township, to a.
