A Verdict In the First Degree Now Considered Not Likely. EISEHHOWER'S ELOQUENT COUNSEL Makes the Effort of His life Before the Jury In Behalf of His Client and Is Followed by Mr. Whalon For the Commonwealth. Special to EvESlsa IIehald. PottsVILLE, Juno 24. Congressman C. N. Hrumm spent fivo hours and ten minutes iu addressing tho jury in hchalf of Theodore Eisenhower yesterday and even then gavo no intimation as to when ho oxpectcd to conclude. When Judge Savidgo adjourned court at 5:30 last ovening ho said with somo display of weariness, "Wo will adjourn un til 0 o'clock to-morrow morning, when coun sel will rcsumo his argument." Although tho court, as well as tho jury and spectators, had hecomo tired hy tho long siego, they dis played an interest during tlio discourse that was at least complimentary to tho Congress man, and his colleagues at the bar say he is making one of tho greatest fights of his life in behalf of tho prisoner. Ho is making ac quittal his key noto and not an item is left untouched to sound it with all tho earnest ness and effect that human voico aud gesture can put into it. Few outsido of tho people connected with or interested In tho prosecu tion now think that a verdict of murder in the first degreo will ho rendered. Tho fivo hours Jlr. Brumm consumed yesterday was devoted entirely to attacking tho Common wealth's case and picking over, pieco by piece, tho evidence adduced from its wit nesses. Iu many instances ho succeeded in pointing out discrepancies upon which ho laid great 6tress beforo tho jury. Ono of tho most important of these was a discrepancy in tho evidence of Sebma Eisenhower, tho prisoner's daughter. This was ono of tho most important aud cirectivo witnesses for tho Commonwealth. If Jlr. Brumm's points havo been effectually impressed upon tho minds of tlio jury and Jlr. Wiialen does not eradlcato it in his closing address tho verdict may como much nearer an acquittal than most people expect, as it bears directly upon what both sides agreo was tho root of tlio whole troublo. Tho point inado was this: That in ono part of her testimony tho daughter testifies that sho left her father, mother and William Schwindt in tho middle room downstairs with tho intention of taking tho baby upstairs, but when sho reached tlio top of tho stairs sho heard a disturb ance which caused her to descend and when sho did so sho found the room vacated by all except her father, who stood iu tlio doorway with a chair raised abovo his head. In another part of tho caso tho daughter testified that when sho hoard tho disturbance, sho hurried to get the children out of ono of tho rear wiudowB up stairs. Tins variance, Mr. Ilrumm claims, substantiates tho claim of tho defenso that Eisenhower, his wife and Schwindt wcro nlono iu the room at least ono hour ; that Eisenhower did fall asleep, but wakened suddenly aud found Mrs. Eisenhower and Schwindt in a compromising situation aud that precipitated tlie disturbance. Mr. Ilrumm also makes tho following deductions to show how long Schwindt and Mrs, Eisenhower were together beforo tho dis'urbanco Schwindt went homo with Elsenhower at midnight and swears it was between 2 and 3 o'clock lu tho morning when ho met Mrs. Eisenhower and her children on tho railroad track and advised them to go under tho shod, as it had Varied to rain. Sabina Eisenhower and tlio man Gray, who was at tlio boiler house, swore it started to rain at J o'clock, and Sabiua sworo that tho family left tlio houso half an hour beforo Schwindt met them on tho railroad. "What did theso peoplo do from midnight until half past thrco in tlio morning," asked Mr. Ilrumm. "Schwln'dt says ho only remained iu tlio houso ton or fifteen minutes beforo the disturliancostartcd. Sabina swears that the houso was va .ted immediately aftor tho disturbance, aiiL yet swears tho houso was only vacated half an hour beforo tlio meeting on tho railroad." The truth is. Mr. Ilrumm claimed, that tho children slept upstairs until nearly four o'clock, when Eisenhower awoko aim maue tho discovery that led to tlio disturbance. In opening his address to tlio jury Mr. Ilrumm said : "Whilo you havo exhibited patience under trying circumstauce, with a sick brother with you, I want first to oxtend my sympathy and only ask you to bear witli us a littio longer, and bellovo that In what wo aro doing wo aro at least conscientious; and if in error, it is an error of tlio head and not of the heart. Murder is a terrible crime, and terribly should a man answer who commits it. I shall not apologize, uor at' tempt to explain, or oxtenuate in tho slightest dogree, anything that is ilono in this case. No man oau look upou it witli greater horror than I look upou tho dastardly crime of niur dor. No man can havo greater sympathy for the victim that it called to meet hi Owl be fore his time. No man's heart will bleed more than mino when I consider tho widow aud the orplmns that aro left as tho result of that crime. I believe X am as sympathetic as most men; and I can appreciate and can ronli70 as a father and a husbaud tho lior riblo nfiects and misery that surround the homo that has lost father und husband, aud with u duo sense of that responsibility and feeling I come to this Jury aud ask, not that they shall throw away their humanity, but only ask that they brace up as well us they can brace up against tlio power aud Influonco that may bo brought to bear upon your minds and hearts by tho presence of that poor widow and thoeo poor children. God bless them ! God help them ! I want to say, gentlemen of tho Jury, that tho Commonwealth should ask only justice, and justice only according to law i and, in asking that justice, they have no right to demand a victim. That in asking that Justice they cannot get it by that old Mosaic doctrine of an cyo for an oyo, or a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life, or blood for blood, but only through tho law of tho laud. Tho law oau only punish n citizen beeauo it is deemed necessary for society ; and, just so far as that necessity exists, so fur can wo Justify the punishment. No matter what Continued on fourth iige. A GHASTLY DISCOVERY. Several l'art ot n Drari ltody l'miml on the "Dump" ThW Morning. Much excitement was occasioned through out tho town this morning when it becatno known that parts of a dead body wero found on tho dump at tho end of West Lloyd Btrcet this morning. Mrs. Waters, .who resides near that locality, had occasion to dump somo rubbish this morning, and in doing so discovered the hones of a foot, and sho immediately notified High Constable McKcon. That official then mado a moro thorough investigation of tho "dump" and fouud a black dress, tho bones of two right feet, ono left hand, thigh bone, breast plate, and several other smaller bones. and a piece of paper, tho writing on which is not Intelligible. Some of the bonos aro coverod with black fiesh, and tho finger and toe nails aro very long. Supervisor McKcon notified Coroner Manlcy of tho discovery aud lie removed the bones to his premises to await further de velopments, and iu tho meantime a surgeon will glvo his opinion to tho Coroner. Several unknown parties aro said to havo dumped ashes in tlio locality where the bones wero found, and ono of them left a barrel behind, which is being uscij as a cluo by tho officials. Many theories are advanced, somo being of tho opinion thasomo medical student caused them to bo rlaccd on tho "dump," having no further uso for them, whilo others say they may have been unearthed whilo excavations aro being mado for building purposes. Never theless, tho discovery has occasioned much talk, and will probably continuo so until a moro definite cluo has been reached. At llrecn's Cnfe, 1 Xorth Main Street.

Judgo "W. II. Prentiss, of Chicago, placed Governor Altgeld in nomination for gov ernor. Ho referred to tho ndmirablo ad ministration of Illinois during tho last four yoars, and compared Governor Alt geld to Thomas Jefferson. At tho mention of tho governor's name tho audience cheered enthusiastically. In conclusion ho said that Governor Altgeld must bo the Democratic candidate.
