his failure to taKe the witness stand
The prosecution opened its second
inning In the cause celebre, by iniro-
ducipg evidence to rebut the. case II
the defense. The trial this morning,
gives an element of pathetic interest,
BY the presence of little E mer, thG
youngest son of the prisoner. The liz

room for a month, and when he scram
bled over the chairs and benches t. z
TO his fathers side, the prisoner grasp
I'd him in his arms and kissed him
Gordon Clark, the first witness, es-
tablished the fact that Luelgert knew
the difference in the various brands
Hunyadi water, and that Bialk's trip
to The drug store for the mineral water
on the night of May 1st, were unneces
sary, because he had several bottles OF
water in the factory.
Detrlcht Bicknes, brother OF Mrs.
Luetgert, the man who stirred up tn
police, has given up ell hope that the
state will be able to convict Lue.gert
of numbering nls wife. II do moi
think Luetgert will be found guilty."

say he is not guilty, but it has not been
shown and can't be. They haven't

Fine weather continues for the carnival
Disappointment is expressed that the

decorated private carriages, the
Chinese and Iudians, the exhibition
would fall far short Of previous years.
