STATE ADDRESSES JURY.

States Attorney McEiwan addressed
the jury for three hours this afternoon
and barely outlined his argument at
the hour of adjournment for the day
He will resume the argument tomor-
ROW morning and will talk all day.
The state was conservative IN its
assertions as TO what it would prove
on the witness staDG some weeks ago,
said the speaker in his opening eve
made no boasts. We told you N the
simplest language we could employ
just what the evidence would disclose.
Our promises have been fulfilled. The
testimony given from the witness stand
has been disclosed and developed more
than ne promised you. No stronger
case under similar evidence was ever
presented to a jury. Search the law
books the world over, and you Viii
find no circumstantial case to equal
the now wcrld-famous Luetgert trial.
The crime is one Of the most remark
able in criminal annals, yet when the
details are followed up and linked to-
gether in q circums tantial chain, the
motive and the act are extremely
plain and undeniable. The claim has
been made here that we have failed
TO establish properly the corpus delicti
ard suspect you VIII hear much about
this from the attorneys on the SIDE The
body Of the crime has been sufficiently
shown by the circumstances Which
establish that Mrs. Luetgert met her
death through a criminal agency.
There is no more necessity of proving
the corpus deficit further than there
would be to produce a house in court
20 prove that a person on trial for
larceny broke into it or to produce the
horse before the jury which a thief
is alleged to have stolen"
LOOKS HARD AT LUETGERT.
The speaker referred to the fact that
nearly six months had elapsed since
/ Mrs. Luetgert had disappeared from
her home She still remains absent
and will remain missing as long as the
world endureS," shouted the assistant
states attorney staring at Luetgert.
Then the case was taken UP chrome
logically and all the incidents traced
! briefly down to the date of the open
