CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Judge Tuthill, States
Attorney Denoen, Assistant States Attor-
ney McEwen, ex-Judge Vincent and Attor-
ney Phalen had an informal conference
lasting over one hour in the judges private
chamber to-day Luetgert was brought into
court and the report went abroad that
formal motion to admit him to bail would
Immediately follow the conference. When
the conference was over Luetgert was
taken back to Jail. George Middleton, the
manager of a museum was in the Criminal
Court building to-day, and it was said he
was ready to schedule $4,000 and to sign
Laetgert's bonds if the noted prisoner
would place himself on exhibition at a
salary of 500 per week. Luetgert is not
favorably impressed with the proposition
as he believes it would injure his business
in the future No agreement was reached
at the conference. States Attorney De-
neen vigorously opposed the demand that
the prisoner be released on bail, and the
upshot of tho argument was that no formal
demand for the prisoners admission TO Dall
was mace. ES-Judge Vincent SAID he would
let the matter rest for 1wo or thiee days
and then make formal application. lie
added that any reasonable bond could be
given. 1t was animated that II the formal

out but some of those yellow bottles and
things said George.
We'll, Pullman, who was a smooth-faced
chap at that time. had a way of making
people believe that he could do what he
promised 70. So he got the job. He bor-
rowed or bought all the jack-screws he
could find in town and sent to Detroit for
more. Then he dug some holes in the I'M
derpinning and put jacks in the holes and
all under the beams on the underSide. He
had his brother get on one side of the
building, while he went on the other. A
man was stationed at each jack-screw.
When George whistled and his brother an
swered every man turned the screw he had
charge of once around. They waited half
an hour and repeated the operation.
Well, that was the most exciting thing the
town had seen for some time. and most
OF the population seemed to have joined the

see how the work was progressing, and
found that during the night the building
had raised bodily fully an inch and was
free from the underpinning Well. that was
a triumph in those days and the druggist
did a rushing business selling souvenir
toothbrushes and things and soda water
from the queer building. AS soon as the
building was high enough half the screws
were taken out and timbers put in place.
Then the rest of the screws were taken
out and timbers substituted The jacks were
again applied and the operation repeated
until the big brick structure was eight feet
up in the air. After this George had all
the work he could do. He raised at one
time almost an entire block of buildings of
assorted sizes on the north side of Lake
