NEW LINE OF DEFENSE.
LuetEert Will Try to Prove that In
sanity Runs in His Wife's Family.

CHICAGO, Dec rs. = The attorneys for
Adolph l.. Luetgert have received a report
from the superintendent of the insane asy
lum at Pueblo, Col, on the mental condition
of Herman Bicknese, the brother of Louisa
Luetgert, who disappeared twenty years
ago and was recently discovered locked up
in the Colorado State Insane Asylum. The
defense will endeayor to put this document
in evidence. and if the court refuses to admit
it the superintendent of the asylum himself
will be brought here to testify. According
to the superintendent's report, the mental
alteration of Mrs. Luetgerts brother was
brought on by excessive drinking, rather
than as an inherited trait, although, in the
opinion of the superintendent, family ten
dency to insanity might have been aided by
the liquor. Bicknese disappeared from Chi
cagO twenty years ago, after his wife had
applied for and secured a divorce on ac-
count of his bibulous habits. 1t was be-
cause of the latter, it is said, that no eff
fort was made to trace him by the rest of
the family. 1t was known he had gone West,
and nothing was heard Of him till the de-
tense received word from the Colorado asy
lum that Bicknese had been there at diff
ferent times for ten years.
