CHICAGO, Sept. S0.-When the Luet-
gert trial was resumed today DR.. ALL
port created another sensation by declar-
ing that the temporal bone which Prof
Dorsey Identified as human is not hui
man. DR.. Airport emphatically stated
that there is nothing upon which to base
the conclusion that the bone is from a
human skull. He also declared that the
phalanges in evidence belonged to a
lower order of animals. When shown a
piece of bone identified by Prof. Dorsey
as human temporal bone, Dr. Airport
declared that it was a composition of
bones put together by artificial means.
Luetgert leaned back in his chair and
laughed, while the statement created
dismay in the camp Of the prosecution

DR.. Airport. was the only witness on
the stand today, and at the conclsion of
the session the state announced that IL

morrow. The state had prepared warm
cross-examination for him today, and
toward the latter part Of the afternoon
session it succeeded in confusing him
and gaining from him several contradic-
tions of his own evidence. He identified
the skull Of a dog as being the skull of a
monkey, and was neatly trapped, by the
etate into doing SO. The attorneys for
the o1oto have considerable feeling

Chilean diplomats, hearing of the me-
gotiations against Chile, made certain
representations to Bolivia, which re-
suited in that country withdrawing from

ment. and the Canadian Steamship

sixteen men, hundreds of others would
have at once embarked for the United

here for killing two people on the beach
near Oceanside two years ago, brought
before him and fixed the time when he
Is to be hanged at San Quentin for Fri

by Eubanks just before the death SEN
tence was passed. Totally ignoring his
attorney, who was present, he arose and
asked permission to argue motion for
rehearing, on the ground that he was
insane at the time the murder was COM
mitted, and that evidence given at the
the trial court had not been presented
to the Supreme Court on appeal; also
that the Civil Code provided that man
could not be in jeopardy twice for the
same crime and claiming his life had
been already in Jeopardy during incar-
ceration here. The motion was denied.
