LUETGERTS SECOND TRIAL.
Sparring of Counsel to Gain Time and
Gary Objected to by Defense.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-The second
trial of Adolph l.. Luetgert, for the
murder of his wife, was called before
Judge Gary to-day. The big sausage
manufacturer was represented by ex-
Judge Lawrence Harmon and Attorney
Max. Riese; attorney Phalen having
withdrawn from the case yesterday af-
ter a heated interview with Luetgert
and the new lawyers. The court room
was packed with spectators when the
court was called to order Most Of the
session was taken up by Mr.. Harmon
in arguing that Judge Gary should not
try Luetgert, on the ground that he
was not qualified to sit as a criminal
judge. Judge Gary overruled the mo-
ton of the defense, intimating however
that he was willing that some other
judge should sit in the case providing
counsel for the defense could come to
an agreement with the prosecution as to
who should hear it. Attorneys Harmon
and Riese held consultation this after
noon with States Attorney Deneen with
the object of deciding on some other
judge to hear the case.
When court reconvened at p. m. the
attorneys for the defense announced
that they had ben unable to reach an
agreement as TO a judge to hear the
case in their consultation with States
Attorney Deneen. Attorney Harmon,
however, entered exceptions to Judge
Gary's overruling of his motion. Attor-
ney Harmon then made motion for a
continuance of four weeks, stating that
both he and Attorney Riese were not
prepared to go on and wished time to
read the records of the former trial.
This was overruled after some discus
sion. Examination of talesmen was
then commenced.
TWO JURYMLN ACCEPTED.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the task of securing jury was entered
upon, but by the time court adjourned
sixteen veniremen had been examined
and two jurors were accepted by the
State, although the defense has still the
privilege of rejecting them. The two
men are Thomas III. Bachelor, an in
surance solicitor, who said he had only
read the headlines in the papers during
the former trial and had absolutely no
opinion regarding the guilt of the
prisoner, and Walter j. Northam, a
clerk, who said he could give the ac-
cused a fair trial.

Georgia., as Usual, Furnishes the SEN
sation. Relief Denied Her by United
States Supreme Court.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-The Uni
ted States Supreme Court today affirmed
the decision of the Georgia Supreme
Court in the case OF Mrs. MOBILES, con-
victed of the murder of her husband.
She claimed due process of law had been
denied her. The result of the decision is
that the sentence imposed by the court
can now be executed.
Justice White handed down the opin"
ion. He reviewed briefly the points in
the case. showing that Mrs. Nobles's
counsel had moved for n trial to prove
her insanity after she had been found
guilty of the murder of her husband. This
motion was denied by the trial court
and the decision affirmed by the State
Supreme Court. Mrs. Mobiles then ap-
pealed to the Federal Supreme Court on
the ground that the fourteenth amend
ment guaranteeing all citizens due process
of law had been violated. The conten-
ton was overruled by Justice Whites
opinion, who said that the questions in-
volved were wholly within the jurisdic-
ton of the State courts. 'If the position
of the plaintiff in error were sound"
said Justice White, "no criminal could
ever be punished, as his immunity would
depend upon his fecundity in raising
pleas Of insanity"

NEGRO WAS NOT LYNCHED.
The Stake and Fagot Story Went or
Half-Cocked.

Wilmington, n c.. Nov. 29.-The re-
port that Nathan Willis, colored, the
murderer of young white man, named
Stephens, was lynched by burning was
not correct. 1t was published by both
morning papers here in good faith, being
furnished as a special telegram from
Southport. Willis is safely lodged in the
Horny Is. g. county Jail at Conway.
Several of the party of men who werS
with the officers when they arrested VIII.
lis, were eager to execute summary pun
ishment upon him and the feeling OF the
community where the cold-blooded crime
was committed was most intense. It
was this probably that gave rise to tho
rumor that he was lynched. -

twice as long. The latter devoted the
main strength of his argument to the
common school, but the tone of the adj

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED
WILL ORGANIZE FOR THE NEXT
YEARS FIGHT.
SEVERAL MEMBERS ARE ALREADY HERE
h is Generally Believed that Formal Declara-
ton as to the Issues Of the
Next Campaign Will
Be Made,

The political situation Is gradually as
suming more interesting proportions, and
the indications now are that within the
next few days the political pot will be
bubbling at pretty lively rate.
Th Democratic State Executive COM
mittee will hold a special meeting here
tomorrow night and from that things
will, many people believe, shape them
selves up.
1t is so rare a thing for the Execu-
tive committee to hold a meeting in an
"off year" that people are speculating
about it and wondering if it means any
thing out of the usual run. Chairman
Manly says not, but that it has been
called to feel the pulse of the party
and to get ready for next years fight.
With the campaign as hot as it is
now in an off year, what may we ex-
pect in the hot days of next June,
July and August.
1t looks like another 1876 campaign,
with every man on the stump who can
talk and every man in the saddle who
can ride.
The News and Observer has been
shown a set of resolutions which mem-
ber OF the committee has prepared. lt
Begins by congratulating the Democratic
party upon their success at the polls
In the recent November election; in

10 the Chicago platform until its prin-
siples are enacted into law; roasting the

restore the government maintained
from 1876 to 1894 when successful at
the polls.
If Col. Paul B. Means should take it
into his head to introduce resolutions
declaring Grover Cleveland to be leader
Of the party and the gold standard to be
the policy of the party, there might be
some fun at he meeting.

While Mr. Bryan is stIll silent regard
ing the multiplying evidences that the
relationship between silver and farm
products isn't quite so close as he con-
tended It was, two or three of the lead
ing sllverites have come forward with
some faint apologies Of explanations, in
which they try to account for the situa-
ton they find their cause in, but they
only succeed in making all the clearer
in the public mind that their contention
of last year was rank fraud.
Among these gentlemen is George Fred
Williams, of Massa chusetts, who wanted
TO be on the ticket as Bryan's running
mate. hut who had to be content with
stumping New England in the free silver
cause and to afterward witness that Sec

bad crops Of wheat in other parts of the
world and good crops here" Similar
statements are being made by other sill
veri,es, ana we presume we may look
for something Of the same nature from

Westminster Review: All the literature

ought to live in subsection to men, be-
cause literature has always been in the
hands of men. Literature tells us that
man was created first, and that woman
was made as an afterthought, in order
to be companion TO him. But science
knows nothing OF this tale.
Now the strength of women lies In the
fact that men cannot do without them.
II they could have, then women would
have become extinct long ago. Neither
sex can do without the other, But women,
having been rendered timid by centuries
of subsection, have never found out
where their strength lies. l speak of
women in general, for 1t is a very re-
markable fact that, though women In
general have always been governed by
the laws laid down by men, individual
women very otter find that they can do
just as they please, A woman can nearly
always get what she wants II she makes
enough fuss about it, and SO 1t happens
that in private life II Is very often the
