to-day and while in some sections of the
State there were surprising turn-overs.

isolated towns to hear from, the indica-
tions are that the Republicans generally
held their own, making enough slight
gains in numerous places to counter
balance the larger Democratic gains in
a few towns.

Chicago, H., Oct Am unexpected
turn of affairs occurred in the Luetgert
trial during the afternoon session of
court. The defense suddenly dropped its
line of expert testimony and put on wit
nesses to impeach the evidence of wit
nesses for the State. 1t was apparent
that ex-Judge Vincent chief counsel for
the defense, has at last tired of the cx-
pert evidence. The testimony of each
succeeding witness WINS practically II
repetition Of that of preceding witnesses.
Nothing was being gained while the re-
cord of the case was being swelled with
a volume of technical medical verbiage.
This afternoon ex-Judge Vincent. at
torney Phalen, Arnold Luetgert and
others who are interested in the de-
fense, held a consultation relative TO
whether or not Luetgert should go on
the witness stand. At the close of the
conference tonight ex-Judge Vincent
said he had not decided upon the matter
1t was intimated that Luetgert might be
called to the witness stand tomorrow.
In fact, it is expected he will be.
The turn taken in the proceedings to-
day permitted the counsel to get a line
upon the probable length of TIM it will
take to finish the trial. States Attorney
Deneen said tonight that three weeks
more ought to see the end of the case.
