Carter Jlarriaon, mayor of Chicago,
wua shot and killed Saturday night by
a crank who gives the iiume of Eu
gene Patrio I'rondergiiHt. Mr. Har
mon had been ut the world's fair ull
day, returning home at 6 o'clock.
Feeling tjinnawhat tired, he lay down.
About 8 o'clock tho murderer rang the
door bell, nayiug to the servant he
wished to aee tho mayor., She admit
ted him, and Mr. Harrison, hearing
the voices, came forward into the hall,
w: en the Bcrvcnt retired. Without a
word Prendergunt pulled a revolver and
began shooting. He aliot three limes,
every bullet hitting its murk. One
bullet aba ttored Mr. Harrison'a right
iirtn, utioilier Ntnick him in the abdo
men, and a third entered the cheat
just above the heart. Mr. Hurrnnn
sank to the floor and died in about 20
iiiiuutea after tho affray. Meantime
tho murderer walked out of the door
into the dnrknesBand waa lost to aight.
The police wcro telephoned and Boon
the city waa being searched for turn.
About 25 minute after tho shooting
Prc.ndcrgust wulkod into tho Deepluiti-
e street station wnn a revolver in iiih
hand and, nayiug he hud murdered
Mr. Harrison, gave himself up to the
sergeant in charge. As aoon n the
news spread about, a crowd of several
thousand people gathered about the
station and threatened to lynch him.
they were pacified with great diiiioully
and went away. Sunday the police
took Prendergast to a secret hiding
nlace.
Mr. Harrison line neen mayor ot
Chicago live timea, and waa to have
been married November 7 to Misa An
nie Howard, of New Orlcana.
Prendergast is a lunatic of the Gut
teau typo and hi particular grievance
iiguinet Mayor Hurrinou was the tat
ter's refusal to iimke Frendergan cor
poration counsel of Chicago. Ilia dis
eased imagination led hira to believe
that if he waa the possessor ot this of
llce he could correct ninny of the evils
which he behoved the cily to bo aullor
ing. Harrison simply ienored the
threats and appeals of Prenderguat
whose disappointment fiublly took a
homicidal turn and he determined to
bo revenged. Acting upon this deter
mination be secured a weapon and go
ing to tho home of Mr, Harrison, he
mercilessly shot him to death. Pren
(Icrg.mt also has a hohicination that
(lie enemies of free silver should be
destroyed, and wrote letters to several
repeal" senators telling them that they
would be shot down like dogs if they
fiersisted in their opposition to the
while money. He also wrote the presi
dent a threatening letter on the same
subject to which Mr, Cleveland, of
cm 1 so, paid no attention. The assas
sin was promptly indicted by the grand
jury but will probably make a plea of
insanity aud escape punishmeut that
wuy.
