THE 'HERALD'S' DETAILED REPORT One of the Jurors Taken 111 at Noon To-day. The Defense Will Offer the Plea of Insanity Witnesses Fall to Ap pear at the Morning Session. Special to Evening IIeiialii. Pottbville. June 18. With tho close, of tho morning session of tho trial of Thcodoro Eisenhower yesterday for tho murder 01 John Schwindt tho greater part of seusa- tional developments of tho day ended, Much expectation hinged upon the calling of William Schwindt, tho man who no douut owes his life to tho fact that he had a brother who bore a striking resemblance to him. Tho expectations were fully met. Schwindt for tho first time made public his story of tho visit to Eisenhower 8 house ono night last August and emphatically denied tliat there wero any grounds upon which tho prisoner could base jealousy. Eisenhower's daugh ters and sons next followed, but 111 their tes timony left a vacancy. They wero not present when Eisenhower and Schwindt had the struggle. They had gono upstairs just before that, in fact ono of tho sons was asleep and did not Oven hear tho disturbance. Tho only story thus told concerning tho struggle is that which comes from William Schwindt. Thcro wero but two other wit nesses of tho affair Mrs. Eisenhower, tho prisoner's wife, and the prisoner himself. In his opening address to tho jury Congressman Iirumm promised lie would put tho prisoner on tho witness stand before tho closo of tho case. Mrs. Eisenhower is still missing, and it is stated that sho is not likely to tako any part in,tho trial, so tho story of the strugglo and tho immediate circumstances that led up to it will hlngo upon tlic.statcraents of Will iam Schwindt and I119 would-be murderer. In this connection there was an important development lato yesterday afternoon in tho testimony of William Fishburn, of Shcnan doah, employed as watchman at tho Turkey Hun colliery. Ho was called ostensibly to testify to tho good character of tho prisoner prior to tho shooting and said that for peaco and order ho never heard Eisenhower's reputation questioned up to the shooting. But after this Mr. Urumm put the followin; question to tho witness: "Tell whether or not Mrs. Eisenhower acknowledged to you that sho was sitting on Schwlndt's lap and that sho had fivo bullets prepared for her husband ?" Tho question caused a ripple of excite ment. Mr. Whalen objected, but the court overruled him, and tho witness answered that ho had been trying to get Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower together again and that last summer, after tho diiiiculty, Mrs. Eisciv hower told tho witness, in tho prosenco of tho latter's family and Mr. Eisenhower, that sho did sit in Schwindt's lap on tho night of tho diiiiculty. Sho said that Schwindt pulled her down 011 his lap as sho was passing and asked her to put tho light down, and sho did it, hut sho was very sorry and had no intcu- tion of anything wrong. Tho witness added that Mrs. Eisenhower stated that sho ad mitted this for peaco hake. Mr. Fishburn was snhjected to a rigid examination by the Commonwealth, hut his evidenco was unshaken. Mil, IIKU.MM'8 ADDnEsS, In his opening address to tho jury Mr. Iirumm said that never in tho histo.y of Schuylkill county lias thero been such a peculiar caso as tills ono in its criminal courts. Mr. Iirumm spoko for about 43 minutes and his address was an ablo ono. Towards tho closo ho said ho would show that Eisenhower was under tho iulluenco of Insanity let it bo emotional, or any other kind of insanity tho jury may sco fit to call it after tho evidence had been submitted at tho time of tho shoot ing, and was not responsible for tho act ; that William Schwindt had alienated tho alloc tious of Mrs. Eisenhower aud tho children from tho prisoner; had driven Eisenhowor out UDon tho world heartbroken and almost an outlaw ; that Schwindt did that, kuowiug that Eisenhower knew it, and persisted in it after he knew the trouble ho had brought upon tho poor man. Tho first witness called for tho defense was Mrs. William Arthurson, of Hlngtown Valley, who said sho como from South Wales two years ago aud testified : On 17th of Febru ary, last, I walked from Iilugtowu 011 iny way to Shenandoah and when passing Kreb's station I saw tho prisoner as 1 looked back behind 1110 pulling ills hair, bumping his head and hammering himself fearfully. Ho was talking in Gorman and I didn't know what ho was saying. I was frightened and al lowed tho man to pass mo. 1 le wen t ahead aud I lost track of him until tho uiternoon, when I saw him on Main street. He then looked wild. On cross-examination Mrs. ArthurHou mid: I saw tho prisoner at a surprise party given to his mother in Shtbtown on February 11th. Tho prisonor oil that occa sion talked very foolishly aud took 110 part iu tho festivities. Among the tilings he said was that nobody goos to heaven after 12 years of ago. When I met Eisenhower 011 Muin street, Shenandoah, at 3 o'clock on tho after noon of February 17th, thero was nothing iu tho look of tho man to causo mo to think thero was anything wrong with his mind. Tho defense then proceeded to bring ou testimony to show tho good icputation of Eisenhower for peace aud good order. In some, Instances fair success was met with. Iu ono tho witness made a strong point for tho Commonwealth. As far as their personal knowledgo went tho witnosses testified vory favorably to the prisonor, hut when ques tioned as to his reputation, that is, what others said of htm, most of tho witnesses weakened. Daniel ailbert, of Itiugtown, said ho had known the prisoner 5 or U years and kilow nothing against him prior to tho shooting, but ho henid some pooplo say good things about tho prisonor, aud others tho reverse. Tho had icports ho heard wero that tho prisoner was not good to his family aud that ho quarreled In saloons. These reports tho witness hoard before and after tho shooting. Jeremiah Itoughey said ho knew tho pris- Contlnucd on fourth lMgc. 1 Open-Air Concert.
