LUETGERT. UNDER OATH, MAKES
THE FIRST STATEMENT SINCE
HIS ARREST.
BELIEVES HIS WIFE ALIVE.
THE ONE GREAT MISSING FEATURE
IN THE FAMOUS CASE SUP
Piled.
JURY DISCHARGED BY THE COURT.
ADDarent to All That No Verdict
Could Be Expected-An Appli-
cation for Bail.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The Associated
Press tonight obtained the one great
feature missing in the famous Luet-
CERT trial-the sworn. testimony of the
defendant himself, Adolph Luetgert.
Standing tonight in the gloomy jail, ad-
Joining the grim-looking gray stone
court building, in which his remarkable
trial had at last been brought to
finish by the disagreement of the jury,
the burly sausage manufacturer capped
the climax of the extraordinary series
of events which began with his sensa-
tional bankruptcy and the alleged boil
ing of his wife to death at midnight in
a vat in his factory cellar. Tonight,
closely following the final result of:the
trial, which has attracted worldwide
attention, Luetgert made, under oath,
a statement concerning the fearful
crime charged against him, the first
sworn statement of such a kind ever
known in newspaper annals. The affi-
davit was put in writing in due legal
form and is certified to by a notary.
Ex-Judge William 4. Vincent, the lead
ing counsel for the defendant in this
celebrated case, the man to whose
brains and skill and energy Luetgert,
beyond all doubt, owes his great legal
victory, gave consent to the affidavit
being made. 7=- e'.--
The scene in the jail when Luetgert
took the oath was as dramatic as the
circumstances were unique. In the
dimly lighted corridor Iuetgert, stand
ing erect and grasping the iron bars
that still kept him from liberty, lifted
his right hand and solemnly assented
as the notary administered the bind
ing form. The grueSOme surroundings
were a reminder in some degree of the
midnight occurrence in the factory Gel
lar that have become familiar to the
hundreds of thousands who have fol-
lowed the details of the great trial.
Few, if any, of the curious prisoners
and turnkeys who We're spectators, had
&ny inkling of what was taking place.
Iuetgert, the notary and a representa-
tive of the Associated Press conferred
together for few moments and then
Luetgert without hesitation made the
affidavit and signed it in ink, with the
hand that is alleged to have committed
Dne of the most fendish crimes on rec
ord The affidavit explicitly declares
1uetgert's innocence. The document
In full is as follows:
To the public: The result of my trial, end
1ng today, is victory for me, because of
ahe disagreement of the jury, but I am very
nuch disappointed and very much surprised
that the jury did not bring in a verdict Of
not guilty. L did not kill my wife and do
not know where she is, but / am sure that
It is only question of time until she comes
home. l did not go upon the witness stand
because my lawyer, Judge Vincent, was bit
terly opposed to my doing so, and because he
advised me it was not necessary. 1 am
grateful for the tremendous change in public
sentiment in my favor, and time will demon
strate that l am not only an innocent. but a
very grieviously wronged man.
-Adolph L. Luetgert.

AS the jurors filed into the court
about 10:40 this morning they were a
haggard looking set of men. Several
of them were cOllarless and the eyes of
all of them were swollen and red.
The jurors took the seats they had
occupied daily for over two months
and waited for the appearance of the
central figure in the case and his law
yers. Judge Tuthill sat on the bench
and gazed quietly at the worn-out
jurors. The clock in the court room

at that Ingenius man with his tire
less brain hasat last brought close to an
end the career Of the ''souless CORPORA
ton" and the "hyena Of commerce"
the poison Of patriotism" aud all that
kind Of stun. So We say make way for
the auto-motor carriage. But it must
have . road to travel on. Here is
the way the Pittsburg Kansan pictures
in pop colors the new era just comm.
Nearly 100, 600 miles Of steel railroads
have been built for the steam horse,
and now the real iron horse-the horse
less carriage is with us, ready to do
all and more for us than the steam
horse has done, or can do, and there is
noteven bride path for him. The
Kansan salutes the auto-motor and
insists that it too must have q road to
travel on.
And to that end submits to the pow
ers that be the necessity OF constructing
a highway from New York to San
Francisco, at least 200 feet wide, of
vitrified brick, or If better paving
exists and can be had, use the best.
The auto needs no rail, Is not a mo-
nopolist and can move itself over any
part Of good, hard smooth pavement.
Autos going in the same direction can
pass each other, can stop, load, unload,
60 fast or slow without interfering with
each othe-.
The capacity Is anything from a
dainty gig to whole train-anybody
can handle them and everybody can
have one for themself.
For starter we need this great,
broad vltrified brick pavement from
New York to San Francisco, and then
laterals, feeders and parallels.
Talk about work, will you!
Why this will furnish employment to
millions Of men for years.
The road should be built direct by
the government-no contracts fat or
lean, no pavement kings, everything
direct for and by the people.
No bonds, no borrowing, the whole
thing to be paid for by legal tender
notes.
The railroad system of the United
States Is capitalized ut Gil 900, 600. 900,
read eleven billion dollars, Of which
one half is water and . good deal of the
remainder shoddy.
The great auto-car pavement would
clip the wings Of the great railroad

BY adding the 3843, 10000 of estimat-
