1'OTTSVILLK. Juno 20. When Thcodoro
Eisenhower was on tho witness stand to
defend himself on tho charge of havin;
murderud John Schwindt last February, tho
straight-forward manner in which ho told
his story and tho earnestness with which ho
explained many important details created n
very favorable impression in his favor, but
after tho noon recess, his manner chanced
wonderfully and by tho time ho left tho
stand much of tho impression ho had made
in tho early part of tho day was eclipsed by
a popular belief that tho prisoner was foxing.
To tho questions put by Sir. Brumm on tho
direct examination in tho morning Lisen
hower responded promptly and with almost
convincing frankuoss. Mr. Wliaicn's intorro-
gatious on cross-examination in tho afternoon
were met with hositation and what appeared
to many to bo over indulgence iu assumed
forgctfulness and 6tupldlty. However, tho
prisoner at no time directly contradicted
himself and tho manner in which ho went
through tho examination that took up nearly
both sessions of tho court yesterday showed
that ho is a man of remarkable uorvo.
There was a brief interruption in tho cross
examination to call Dr. Matter, of Shcnan-
doah, to bo examined by Mr. Urnmm. Ho
stated that on August 21st, 1895, treated
Theodore Eisenhower and upon examination
found u contusion over tho region of tho 8th
and atli ribs and a rartial fracturo of tho
ribs. lie laid tho bruiso had tho appearanco
of having been sustained some days previous
to tho date of treatment.
William Schwindt placed tho dato of his
encounter with Eisenhower as August 3rd
and Eisenhower fixed tho dato as tho 30th or
31st of August. Mr. lirumm stated that his
object in calling tho doctor was to show that
as tho doctor gavo tho dato of tho treatment
from written memoranda, bchwindt and
Eisenhower wero mistaken in tho dato of
the seuiilo. Thoro was no cross-examination.
Mr. Whalen took Eisenhower step by step
over every highway and byway that had
been traveled during tho direct examination
for about threo hours. Io started with
Eisenhower's sculllo with Schwindt and
gradually brought tho questions down
to tho timo of tho prisoner's arrival
at tho I'ettsvillo jail on being com
mitted for tho shooting, even coinpclliii;
Eisenhower to toll what streets ho passed
through from tho depot to jail in l'ottsvillo.
Tins lino of examination was evidently
pursued to show that tho memory of tho ac
cused was well taxed with events that trans
pired during tho periods that tho defense
claim Eiscnhowei was sullering from in
sanity. Somo times tho witness delayed in
answering questions as long as twenty sec
onds, by actual timing, and delays of from
llvo to eight seconds were very frequent in
many stages of the examination. Tho court
became impatient on several occasions and
Mr. Whalen indicated by action more than a
dozen times that ho felt that Eisenhower was
foxing. At ouo timo ho directed a line of ex
amination to try nnd show that during tho
recess tho prisoner had received a hint that
iusano men do not answer as prompt, ac
curately and positively as Eisenhower had
done in tho morning, but tho prisoner stead
fastly maintained that ho had only conversed
witli tho jailor and tho only subject was tho
weathor.
From the testimony adduced on tho cross-
examination, as well as on tho direct,
It appeared that tho prisoner's mind was
a blank from tho timo ho walked along tho
railroad towards tho sccno of tho shooting to
tho timo ho was placed in tho lockup and
again from that timo until ho was arraigned
before Justice Williams and committed to
tho county jail,
Tho examination bearing on theso stages
was as follows ,
Q. Did you seo two men in mining clothes
on tho railroad I
A. Xot ahead of mo.
Q. Did you sit down anywhere on tho
railroad 1
A. Not to my knowledge
Q. Wero they behind you 1
A. I guoss they wcro (yawn).
Q. Did thoy pass you 1
A. Yos, I think they did.
Q. Whero did they pass you 1
A. I don't know,
Q. (Photograph shown) You say that two
men passed you somo whero on this railroad.
Can you tell how far below that saloon they
passed you 1
A. I guess they passed mo. I said I thought
thoy did. Maybo they dlnd't.
Q, Havo you not some recollection that
two men wero on that railroad somewhoro
and clojo to you?
A. Thoy might bo ahead of mo.
Q. Do you remember that two men wero
behind you V
A. Thero wero moro than two men behind
e.
Q. Whore did you seo tlioso two men last
that wero behind you on that track?
A. That Is more than I can tell.
Q. Did you seo John Schwindt ou that
railroad?
Q. (After waiting 15 seconds for an
answer) What is tho troublo now?
,V. What do you want? I am ready to
answor you.
Q. Didn t you hoar mo ask you a ques
tion?
After a wait of flvo seconds tho last ques
tion was repeated.
A. (The prisoner seemed to arouse from
deep thought) I say no,
CJ. Is your hearing getting worso?
A. I don't know.
Q. Don't I speak loud enough for you to
hear me ?
A. You speak pretty loud.
Q. And you have heard mo, havo you not 1
A. (Carelessly I I don't know.
Q. Did you seo a man on that railroad that
day, at that time, named Schwindt
A I don't know-
Q. Do you remember of shooting anybody
on tho railroad that day 1
A . I was told so.
(J. That is all you know about it?
A. Yes sir.
(J. Do you remember when you shot any
body on that railroad ?
A. When?
Q. Yos?
A. (After a delay of 10 seconds) I couldn't
tell you rightly any moro when tho day was.
I know that they took mo to tho lockup.
Q. Was it tho day you went to look for
your brother?
A. I don't know. I am not certain. It
may bo.
Mr. Whalen then taxed tho prisoner's
memory as to what transpired in tho lockup.
Tho prisoner said lie saw sovcral men in tho
lockup. Ho said ho thought ho would know
one of tho men who talked to him in tho
place.
Q. Do you know Mr. Watkins, reporter of
tho Shenandoah Hkkalu?
A. Maybo. I don't know. Ho may havo
como there.
Q. Don't you rcmembor meeting tho re
porter of tho Shenandoah Hiui.vr.D thoro and
giving a statement of tho matter to him.
A. I don't know. Maybo.
Mr. Watkins was requested to step forward
and stand boforo tho prisoner. After eyeing
tho reporter tho witness said ho didn't know
him.
The prisoner, also sworo that ho didn't
remember running away after tho shooting,
or saying anything to Smith or Hoyer, or
talking to Justice Williams upon arrival at
tho latter's oliice. Tho prisoner said ho
purchased tho pistol used in l'ottsvillo last
January, as ho and his nephew contemplated
going to Michigan. Ho remembered having
discharged tho chambers at least once. Ho
fired tho five shots into a trco ata ilistanco of
4 or 5 yards, lie owned a revolver onco beforo
and gavo it to his wlfo after they mado up
tho last time. He did not try to get that
revolver to tako with him becauso his wife
would not let him in tho house Tho second
revolver was purchased whilo on a visit to
l'ottsvillo with his nephew.
Tho prisouer also sworno : I never threat
ened Schwindt but once. That wasaftertho
fuss at tho house. That was in tho presence
of my wifo and child. I didn't say I would
cut Schwjndt into pieces. I said that if I
would catch him together with my woman
inside of my house I would finish tho both
of them.
Q.- You know Schwindt right well, didn't
you ?
A. I did. Too well.
Q. Know his brother ?
A. John ?
Q. Yes?
A. I was not acquainted with tho brother.
Q. Tho day tills man was shot, did you seo
John Schwindt didn't you seo tho man go
ing up tho Lehigh railroad ? And didn't you
believe that was Hill Schwindt? And didn't
you walk up behind him and firont him?
Don't you remember that?
A. I don't remember that. I had never
any idea to kill cither one of tho Schwindts,
for tho reason that I thought if I would
threaten them tho woman would get scared
and bo like a woman.
Eisenhower wouldn't swear that ho did or
did not, threaten William Schwindt in John
Wagner's saloon, and in tho prosencoof llert.
Kold and Charles Sturm.
Q. Don't you remember saying in tho
lockup that if you shot John Schwindt you
wero sorry, and if you shot Hill Schwindt
you wcro satisfied.
A. I don't think that I did.Jto tho host of
my recollection. It might bo I did. I can't
remember a word that was said thero by mo
to anybody else.
Hy tho court : What was tho first thing
after being at the crossing that you recollect?
A. Was being in tho lockup.
Mr. Whalen : Now can't you tell us wiiat
occurred in tho lockup when your memory
came back to you ?
A. I don't know. I know tho day they
fetched mo out of tho lockup and brought mo
to l'ottsvillo. I found out at tho 'Squires
otlico why I had been locked up.
Q. How long wero you in tho lockup?
A. I don't know whether I was there a
week, or two weeks.
(J. Is it not a fact that your wifo was never
away from home, and not except when you
ubu.-ed her, or chased her away from home,
or when obliged to bo at 'her father's house
for two nights in Klngtown.
A. I never chased her on".
Q. You swear you never abused youi wifo?
A. I swear I did give her a tip that even
ing. Eisenhower sworo ou tho direct examina
tion that when his wifo told him her buller
was to call on the evening thoy had arranged
to go to tho theatre ho gavo her a "tip."
Q. When you gavo her that tip you struck
her twice and blood llowed freely from her
mouth and tho blood covered tho baby's
dross and sho went to Hopkins' to escape
from you ?
A. Xo, sir; I Just gavo bora tip.
Deputy Coroner Mauley sworn :
I!y Mr. Ilrunim : Was Dr. Church beforo
tho Coroner's Jury ?
A. Yos, ir.
Q. Was any post mortem examination
held?
A. Xo, sir.
. Q. Why not?
A. I didn't think it was nocossary. I
nskod Dr. Church and ho said ho was positive
that Schwindt hurt died from tho ollecU of
this wound and didn't think it necessary to
hold a post mortem. That was tho reason I
declined to hold one.
Tho first witnosg called this morning was
John A. Tltman, Shenandoah, who sworo he
never lieaid tho prisoner's icputatloii ques
tioned before tho shooting.
Charles Eisenhower, of Shenandoah,
nephew of the prisoner, toslllh-d that ho mid
tho prisouer had made arrangements within a
year past to go to Michigan. They visited
l'ottsvillo together, WlttuuH did not know
tho prisoner's business on tho visit. Did not
know tho prisoner purchased a revolver In
I'otssvlllo that day until tho weapon was
shown him on tho train going homo. Thoy
didn't start for Michigan on tho day
appointed because Eisenhower couldn't draw
his naV. and Elsenhower changed his mind
becauso lie heard that times wero very dull
In Michigan.
Congressman lirumm put District Attorney
Ilcchtel ou examination relative to tho in
quest. The ollleial stated that ho was not
present, had no deputy present and ho bo
lieved tho first intimatbm ho had of tho In
quest was the receipt of a copy of tho ovl
uenic taken.

Canton-, O., Juno 20. Governor Mc
Klnloy mado two addresses at his Canton
homo lust night. Tho day was an event
ful mo. Tho wild enthusiasm of Thurs
day has increased, each incoming delega
tion being greeted by stoum calliopes nnd
screeching whistles of every kind, whilo
trumpets, tin horns, bandsnnd drum corps
galoro glvo music to tho merry marchers.
Delegations called last night In rapid suc
cession, but tho governor shows no sign
of wear or relapso after tho strain of con
vention week. After shaking hands with
several hundred visitors from Coshocton,
Cuyahoga Falls and other points ho took
his customary drlvo a short time boforo
lunch.
During tho day tho news spread rapidly
that thoNow York McKinley leaguo would
stop ut Canton on Its way homo from St.
Louis, nnd that tho special convention
party from Canton would como homo last
evening. It was shortly after 0 o'clock,
just boforo tho governor's dinner hour,
when shrieking whistles of locomotives
horaldeil tho approach of tho Xow Yorkers
nml returning Cantonlnns, ns well as a
special train load of BOO peoplo from tho
Mahoning valley, whero Governor McKin
loy spent his boyhood days.
An oscort coninilttoo, with bands nnd
drum corps, Including fifty horsemen, met
tho delegations at tho stations. Tho streets
wero donsoly crowded for blocks In every
direction loading to tho governor's homo.
Tho crowds crushed through tho fences
nnd crowded into tho doorways of tho
houso In their excitement. It was neces
sary for tho governor to go to tho side door
to meet his returning fellow citizens, ns
it was impossiblo for him to reach tho
front veranda whero ho had been speak
ing. Congressman K- W. Taylor, of tho
Eighteenth, MoKlnloy's old district,
mounted a box when Governor McKln
ley appeared and said :
"Governor McKlnloy, whilo wehnvonot
tho good fortune to bo tho first to con
gratulate you In person upon the honor
which tho Republican party has bestowed
upon you, wo rojoico to know that wo nro
from tho vanguard of tho returning hosts
that yesterday witnessed that splendid
demonstration whereby you wero nomi
nated for tho presidency. Tho rivollee
tion of that sceno can never be effaced
from our memory. Thoro wo saw tho Re
publican party place you In nomination,
and wlillo it honored you, it honored itself
and gavo permanent expression to tho
wish nnd desiro that havo been In tho
hoarts of tho American peoplo for many
months. You nro first in tho hoarts of
your countrymen not because you nro a
presidential nominee, but you nro a presi
dential nominee bocau-o you nro first in
tho hearts of your countrymen."
Congressman Taylor was followed by
Judgo Georgo E. lialdwin, on liehulf of
Stark county, and Judgo William It.
Day, who brought with him from Rich
mond, Intl., a largo box of bountiful llow
ors, sent to Mrs. McKlnloy as a souvenir
from tho ladies of that city.
Governor McKinley made a brief speech
in response. Hy this timo the Xow York,
party had succeeded in forcing its way to
tho front piazza, led by John E. MUlliol
lanil. It took somo time for Governor Mc
Klnloy to get through tho house and
through tho crowd In the hall to greet Ills
eastern visitors. Mr. Millholland ununited
a chair and presented ex-enator Warner
Miller, who said :
"Ladlos and GonttotroVi: I thought it
proper on our way hoi,, from tho St. Louts
convention to call horo and pay our re
spects to the man who has been honored
by tho Republican party, and who Is our
fellow citizen and neighbor. It lias lwcn
my privilege to know Governor MoKlnley
for nearly twenty yours, nnd it gives mo
great pleasure to assure him on behalf of
tho Republicans of the state of Xow York
that we shall glvo to him nnd to tho prin
ciples which ho represents tho largest ma
jority In November that has ever boon
given to any presidential candidate sinco
the organization of tho government. I
came here simply to take the hand of
Governor McKinley nnd to assure him of
tho affection and 1 jvu of the people of Xow
York. And now, gentlemen of tho Mc
Klnloy League of tho stuto of Xow York,
it gives mo groat pleasure to Introdueo
to you Governor MoKlnley."
The Xow Yorker wore even more en
thusiastic tbjm tho Ohioans In the greet
ing they gave Governor McKinley, who
responded to their ovations, saying
"My Fellow Citizens of Now York: It
glvos mo very great pleasure to meet and
greet you here at my home. It was most
gracious1 on your part to havo mused In
your journey to tho uust long enough to
glvo mo the pleasure of meeting you face
to face. And nothing could have lieon
moro ngrooublB to nte than to lie presented
to the momlwrsof the McKinley League
of tho state of Now York by my old friend,
long a member of tho houso of representa
tives at Washington Senator Miller.
"I was glad to meet and to greet him.
All wo havo to do this year, my fellow
citizens, Is to keep eloo to tho people.
Ilurkon to tho voice of tho people ; have
faith In tho people, mid If we do that tho
people will win for us a triumph for that
great masterful principle which, In all the
years of tho just, has given us plenty and
prosperity."
Tho Now Yorkors gave another round of
nppliuiso and departed for their train.
