"BELOyED CHRISTINE. i"


There was a sensation when Mrs.
Christina Feldt was called as witness
for the state. Mrs. Feldt is the widow
whose name has been so often men
toned in connection with the case 1t
was believed she would be one of the
main witnesses for the defense but she
had not been before the jury two min
utes when it became apparent that she
had gone over to the prosecution. She
produced a bundle of letters written
10 her by Luetgert in his cell in the
jail and carried to her home by Luet-
gert's son Arnold. The letters were
filled with endearing terms. They be-
gan Beloved, dear Christine" or Be
loved Christine" and in them Luetgert
told of sufferdngs he was enduring as
an innocent prisoner in the jail.
Inspector Setback and his officers
were referred to as the gang that
was after him and the police were fire.

CERT over ard over again assured his
correspondents that he would overcome
the police and be with her again free
man."
Mrs. Feldt testified that Luetgert told
her months ago that he cared more for
Mary Simmering, the servant, than he
did for his wife. She said she visited
his house on May and asked Mary
Simmerlng where Mrs LuetgeTl Was.
Mary replied that she had gone down
town and would be back shortly The
witness then asked Luetgert about it,
and he told her Mary had lied TO her
and that his wife had disappeared.
Luetgert said his wife had on former
occasions left him for several days
without any explanation and he did not
know where she had gone. He then
made the statement that he cared more
for Mary than he did for his wife.
The witness told of a visit to Luet--
CERT at the Jail. The prisoner sent
her q request through Judge Vincent
his attorney, to come to the jail. Laet-
CERT then endeavored to persuade her
to loan him money to pay for his de-
Tense. He asked her. she said, to put
mortgage on her house in order to
Mrs. Feldt said she told Luetgert to
apply to the other friends for money
and he told her he had been unable
to find anyone who would help him.

THREATENED SUICIDE.

IF you go back on me- he SAID,
viii take my life.
The witness said he ought to be
ashamed to talk that way on accouhl
of his children, and he replied that
even his children did not care for ms
life. She said she then left him.
Mrs. FeIdt was not cross-eXamined
for the reason that translations of the
letters had not been verified and the
letters could not be read to the jury
at once. They Will be given to the
Jury and next week the witness will be
recalled for INSTRUMENTATION. The
/ letters of Luetgert contained many
requests for money, interspersed with
protestations OF affection Through all
he protested that he was innocent and
aersecuted.
The next witness was little Guttlieke
Sehrimpke. She is IA years old, and
her testimony was that on the night
of May l. shortly after II o'clock, she
and her sister Annie returned from
dance on Belmont avenue, and passed
the Luetgert factory. Her own home
is opposite the Taseh saloon and IS
close to the sausage factory. The girl
says she saw Luetgert and his wife
walk around the corner of the factory
! into the alley in the rear of the fac
tory. This evidence sustains the the
( orv of the state that Luetgert took his
wife into the factory by the way Of
the furnace room, in the absence of
the Waterman, whom he had sent to
the drug store.
While being cross-examined the girl
