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

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.

John P. Altgold Is tho nomlnco of tho
Democratic party for governor of Illinois.
Ho was unanimously placed at tho head
of tho ticket yesterday afternoon. lie had

tho honor was thrust upon him ho do
clurcd that ho did not wnnt it. Ho snld

pressive speeches over mndo beforo a Dem
ocratic convention. Ho snld thnt ho was
physically unnlilo to lead tho fight, and
his finunclnl affulrs wcro in bad shupo nnd
needed his attention. No sooner had ho
mentioned his ilesiro to retire from publlo
llfo than thero camo an impassioned shout
of disapproval, not only from tho dele
gates, but from tho thousands of pooplo
who wero crowded in tho hall.
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. With him tho
party would sweep tho stnto next fall.
"Without him defeat was almost certain.
As ho ended, and said ho placed in
nomination John P. Altgeld, tho delegates

fivo minutes thero was nn uproar. There
was tv motion thnt Altgeld bo nominated
by a rising vote, nnd overy deleguto arose.
Tho nudlenco went wild with delight
when tho onthusiustlc uproar subsided
and tho chairman declared tho governor
to bo tho nominoc.
It was a strango convention, and will
not soon bo forgotten. It was in session
only a littio over fivo hours. Nearly all
tho candidates wero nomlnatod by accla
mation. Thero was no strife There were
noncrlmonious speeches snvo thoso directed
ngainst tho oncmy.
Tho convention, ni had lieen predicted,
camo out strongly for free silver, and so
instructed its dclegates-at-hirgo to the
nutlonnl convention. The platform was
almost diametrically opposite in all its
parts to that of tho Hepuhlican party, nnd
tho 1,0(50 delegutos voted unanimously for
its adoption.

stato convention will declare that tho pres

bo obtained an international agreement
for blmotallsm. At the same time tho
loaders of tho party will postpono the

facts are significant, nnd taken in con
junction seem to point that tho party
loadors, while protesting that tho gold
standard should lw nmlntnlned, aro fear
