1t was agreed that Judge Tuthili would
remain at the criminal court building
until 10 O'Clock and be within a few
minutes walk of his court room all
night.
Luetgert stood up and with his little
golden son in his arms, received q few
friends. His sons, Arnold and William
Charles pressed forward and warmly
shook the hand of the prisoner. He soon
returned to his cell where he ate sparingly
of supper.
At $50 O'Clock dinner was served to
the jury from neighoring restaurant,
and soon afterwards they began their
deliberations.
The crowd which surrounded the
criminal court building and Jail at night
surpassed in number anything witnessed
since the opening of the trial.
Criminal Court Building, Chicago,
October 18.-Judge Tuthill did not ap-
pear until 9 O'Clock and then went into
the private room of States Attorney
Dineen. where he remained waiting for
the verdict. Shortly after III O'Clock
Luetgert was informed by Jailer Whit
man that he must go to his cell. just
as ne turned toward his cell, he was asked
If he expected to be acquitted.
Sure, 1 do. Why not?"
What are you going to do when you
get out?''

IN HANDS OF JURY.
Luetgert Will Know his Fate Before
Long.
JURORS UNABLE TO AGREE AT
ONE O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.

The Prisoner Pretends to Be Sure That
He Win Be AcGuitted-The Judges
Charge and Final Argument.
Chicago, October 1S.-The ninth week
OF the famous Luetgert trial opened this
morning with the greatest crush yet seen
at the criminal court, building. 1t was
known that today would be the closing
day of the great trial and States Attor-
ney Dineen would make speech.
Thousands of people were in line before
the criminal court doors in the morning
as early as o'clock.
1t was mob and there were frequent
unpleasant collisions between the bailiffs
and the people.
Luetgert came into court apparently
in pleasant frame of mind. States At
torney Dineen promptly began his closing
argument. He opened with defense of
the several leading witnesses for the
prosecution.
After four or five days of oratoIy on
the part of Judge Vincent and Attorney
Phelan, what have we to answer?' asked
States Attorney Dineen, in quick en-
phatic style.
Simply ridicule I shall not waste
time answering the assertions OF orators
who assail the regulations of men OF
learning who are recognized authorities
upon the subject upon which they were
called to testify. This mode of attack
upon the witnesses for the prosecution
partook of billingsgate in which l shall
not indulge. .
The states attorney then proceeded to
discuss the evidence for two and one-haf
hours.
Gentlemen, it has been said that as
sistant States Attorney MeEwen, did
not ask the infiction of the death penal
ty. This is true. l don't think it is
usually within the province of a state S
attorney to ask jury to return such a
verdict. But this crime is SO heinous, SO
cruel, SO wanton, that I feel perfectly
justified in asking at your hands the ex-
IRENE penalty OF the law In the case of
Adolph Luetgert. "
Judge Tuthill swung around in his
chair until he faced the jury and deliber-
ately picking up his notes Of the charge,
he began reading:
AS Judge Tuthill finished the reading
he looked up at the jury and said:
& Gentlemen, you may retire and con-
slider your verdict
Immediately theresswas an uproar in the
court room. The crowd seemed to want
to get near Luetgert. All wanted to see
how the big sausage maker stood the

Guerra was a Warrior.

Washington, October 18 The State
Department. has refused the request of the
Mexican government for the surrender
to it under extradition treaty of Jesus
Guerra, who was one of Garza's lieuten-
ants in the celebrated Cara raid into
Mexico in December, 1892. Guerra was
one of party of $50 men who crossed the
border from Texas into Mexico and at
tackled and captured Mexican town.
He was sought to be extradited for
murder, robbery and kidnapping. The
murder was based upon the killing of
soldiers in battle, the robbery upon the
capture of Cavalry horses and the kid
mapping upon the capture of soldiers.
The state department has decided that
his offence was political.

THE OPENING CONCERT.

1t Evoked the Greatest Enthusiasm From
the splnndid Auditorium.
The great Auditorium presented one of
the most magnificent sights Maine
audience has ever been privileged to gaze
on last evening at the opening concert OF
the great Festival. The mammoth stage
was festooned with the national colors in
the rear, and at the point where the fes-
toons were caught up there depended a
large banner bearing the word "Maine."
The chorus was worth going miles to see.
The women-who were of course in much
larger proportion than the men-sat on
either side, extending from the front of
the stage up to the rear, with several rows
OF them at the back, and the center was
occupied by the men, who formed a sort
OF pyramid, the light dresses of the
W omen forming charming contrast to
the black dress suits of the men. Over
the stage were festoons of electric lights.
that were agreeable to the eve and served
to bring out the chorus in bold relief
The Auditorium itself was blaze of
electric lights. They cleaned from the
groined arches, they flashed from the
sides of the building, they blazed from
the front of the gallery, while an
electrolier of four large lights, was sus
pended from the centre of the roof.
The audience was not only of immense
size-it apparently filled every seat in the
house-but it WAS q representative one.

citizens of the western part of the state
