THE LUETcERT TRIAL.
The Prisoner Trying His Best to Keep Up
 Appearances.

CHcAeo. Sept s.-The alleged wife murderer, Luetgert seemed pleased at the comments of the papers regarding his entrance into the courtroom Tues day Accordingly when he stepped into Judge Tuthill's courtroom for the thirteenth day of his trial, he repeated his smiling salute to the jury and ignored the spectators, who evi- denced their disappointment at the slight The prisoner attempted to catch the eye of the presiding judge, but the latter dignitary completely ig- nored the attempt of the big sausage manufacturer to bid him good morn. ing.
 Luetgert held familiar conversation of minutes length with the newspa- per reporters near his seat, and then settled down to a consultation with his attorneys. He seemed to be in unusu- ally good spirits despite the damaging evidence heard during Tuesdays ses- sions.
 The first witness called was Eugene B. Palmer, a reporter for the Chicago Journal. Palmer testified to having held small bottle under the stream of pinkish matter which flowed from the sluiceway of the vat when the police opened the valve. Palmer was fol. lowed by II. WAstuart, also Jour. nal reporterf who corroborated the testimony of his conferee, and who testified to having delivered this same bottle of pinking slims into the hands of an expert who, will be called later in the case.
 Policeman Bernard Preuss was called and identified two bits of steel as the pieces he found in the ashes where the supposed residue of bones and other material which was scooped from the vat was dumped. Policeman Fred Talorwitz testified as lo hav- ing found a hairpin in the same pile of refuse, and the hairpin was produced as evidence, after an objection by Attorney Vincent to the effect that 1t was improper to intro. duce as evidence any and every object, which. owing to it's similarity the ob- jects worn by any woman could never be identified as having been the prop erty of Mrs. Luetgert.
 Then came the sensation of the day.
 J. H. Odenbrett and w. c. Cady, cor set-makers, were placed on the stand in succession, and positively identified the two alleged corset steels as having been the product of their factory. Ger. tain marks on the two bits of metal were shown to correspond with similar marks on new steels, which were pro- duced in court. The witnesses each testi- fled positively as to the similarity. and also to the fact that the new steels were of the pattern usually sold by their fac tory. It was considered by the state to be great blow to the defense. and was unexpected by the latter, who hoped to prove that the two pieces of steel were scale bands

The chief has received no formal demand for Cooper. He says: I'll we fail to secure conviction. which is not probable, we will then turn him over to the Chicago authori- ties.

 The reporters gather information from various delegations to the effect that the convention will probably de- eide to return to work, but this de- cision can not be reached until after a hard fight, the opposition coming from Illinois, Indiana and small mining section or two in Ohio.
