The Elsenhower Murder Trial Nearln
Its Close.
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-
