THE THIRD DAY OF THE TRIAL
The Prosecution Calls Many Witnesses
in the Elsenhower Case.
THE 'HERALD'S' DETAILED REPORT
William Schwindt, Brother of the Murdered
Man, Was Called to the Stand This
Morning, to Testify The Case
Causing Much Interest.
Special to EvEXuto Herald.
Pottsville, Juno 17. Tho trial of Thco-
doro Eisenhower for tho murder of John
Schwlndt attracts largo audiences before
Judge Savidgo and tho faces of many of tho
spectators assume nn expression of horror as
somo of tho witnesses desenbo tho cold
blooded manner in which Eisenhower stolo
upon and shot his victim. Dcsplto tho har
rowing recitals of somo witnesses Mrs.
Schwlndt, tho widow of tho victim, retains
her seat nt tho rear of tho prosecuting coun
sel, but in full view of tho prisoner. Mrs.
Schwlndt and Eisenbowor sit directly op
posite each other, tho tables of tho lawyers
being between them. Eisenhower's ex
pression of countenance remains stolid at all
timos. Thcro is a natural scowl upon his
face. Ho was seen to smllo when ho first
entered tho court on Monday, but sinco that
timo his faco has denoted nothing but
cold indiU'ercnco. At no timo has
ho betrayed nny nervousness, not'
even when somo witnesses havo given ovi
denco that seems to seal his fato. Mrs.
Schwindt's appoaranco is in great contrast
with tho prisoner's. When not nervously
lingering her handkerchief as her hands
rest nervously in her lap, she weeps violently.
but silently. At times her sobs convulso her
whole frame SIio weeps most of tho timo
whilo in court and it is feared that she may
break down before tho trial ends. Mrs.
William Schwindt is also frequently nn"cctcd,
and the mother of tho victim occasionally
gives way to her emotions.
Tho closing hours of yesterday's session
was taken up by witnesses who saw or were
near to tho sceno of tho murder. They told
their stories substantially as they were given
nt tho Coroner's inquest and in such n manner
as to leave no doubt that Eisenbowor shot
John Schwindt. Mr. Ilrumm, Elsenhower's
senior counsel, listens to theso recitals with
apparently as much indifference as his client,
and spends very littlo timu in cross-oxaniln-ing
tho witnesses who niako them.
John A. Lewis, carpenter, of Shenandoah,
told of tho shooting ns he saw it and made n
reputation as being tho most dramatic witness
that has appeared thus fur in tho case. Ho
took tho revolver Eisenhower used and
imitated tho manner in which tho prisoner
approached tho victim with much earnestness,
Mr. Lewis had testified that after tho shoot
ing Eisenhower turned about and looked him
square in tho eyes. Mr. Lowis said ho could
liavo counted about 120 whilo Eisenhower
stared at him. Upon request of Mr. Whalen
Mr. Lewis stared at the lawyer as ho says
Eisenhower stared at him. Timo passes
slowly under such circumstances and when
Mr. Lewis retired to his Beat Mr. Wlialcu
nsked, "Is that tho length of timo Elsenhower
looked at you?" Mr. Lewis responded,
"Yes, a littlo longer than that." To tho
surprise of almost everybody in tho court
room Judge Savidgo, who had held his wutch
exclaimed, "20 seconds." Upon this Mr.
Lewis rejoined, "O, no, no; ho stared one, or
two minutes, at Ioast. Mr. Whalen re
marked that there was u vast differenco be
tween moments and minutes and Mr. Ilrumm
nodded approvingly. It will bo remembered
that in tho close of tho llriggs trial Mr,
Ilrumm brought tho diil'erenco between
Inches and feet into play with great advant
age in favor of tho accusod.
Mr. Lewis said that when Eisenhower shot
Schwindt his actiou was perfectly cool and
deliberate.
George L. Boyor, painter, told how ho and
Harry Smith chased and caught Eisenhower
after tho shooting. Eisenhower offered no
resistence. When in the lockup Iioyer told
Eisenhower that ho had shot tho wrong man
and tho prisoner replied, "Well, if I did, I
am very sorry." In Justice Williams' oilico
Eisenhower said Mil Schwindt had parted him
and his wifo.
Patrick Mohaghan called. I was coming
homo from work with John Soliwlndt when
ho was shot by EUonhowor. Wo walked to
gether up the slope of Turkey Run colliery
aud to tho placo of tho shooting. Wo woro
walking sidoby side, Schwindt being to my
right. I didn't hoar any noise behind me
until tho shot was fired. It was n cold day
and we had our caps pulled down over our
ears. When tho .shot went off Schwindt
grabbed me by tho coat and said "I'm shot."
I stopped and he sank down. He called for
the peoplo to take him homo. I looked for
assistance. I didn't know Eisenbowor or
seo him before tho shooting, but immediately
after I law him. He stoud there for about
three seconds and then ran. I did not follow,
because I had all I could do to get Sob wind t
off tho track bofore a train would oomo. Wo
took Suhwlndt into a saloon and took him
home about five minutes later. After bo was
shot Schwlndt said, "Eisenhower shot me;
betook me for the 'wrong man."
On cross-examination Mr. Ilrumm simply
asked Dougherty how long ho had resided in
Shenandoah and if ho know where John or
William Schwindt lived at tho timo of tho
shooting. Doughorty replied that ho did
not.
John Fallon was called. Ho said he worked
with Dougherty at Turkey l!un colliery and
walked homo behiud Dougherty and
Schwindt. Tho shooting was ovor whon ho
reached tho sceno. Ho asked Schwindt if ho
could walk and tho victim replied in tho
negative, adding that he was dead from tho
hips down. 1'allon assisted in getting tho
man home. Schwindt, he said, was n strong
aud able man. Ho aud William Schwindt
very much resembled ouch other,
