ON TRIAL EIGHT WEEKS.

LuetSert Case One of the Most Noted in
Criminal History.
The Luetgert trial has been one Of
the most noted cases in crirVinal history.
Adolph Louis Luetgert, VINO had been
a wealthy manufacturer Of sausage and
had recently failed i'll business, losing
much OF his fortune, was arrested May
II, charged with the murder of his
wife, Louise. Mrs. Luetgert disap.
peared from her North Side home May
l, but the tact was not reported to the
police until her brother started an in.
vestigation week later. According to
the theory of the prosecution the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Luetgert by her husband
was horrible one. 1t was asserted by
the state that the sausagemaker, hav.
ing tired of his wife and desiring to
marry Mrs. Christina Feldt, wealthy
widow, had enticed the missing woman
to the basement of his factory on the
night of May l, and then after terri.
BILE struggle, killed her with club.
After the murder, according to the
prosecution, Luetgert placed the body
of his wife in one of the huge sausage
watts and with quantity of caustic
potash boiled the body until it had

police took charge of the case the sau

man. 1--WE have stood that way for 80
hours. There has not been solitary
change in the vote during the 38 hours.
In my opinion, there is not the least
possibility of an agreement.
Jndge Tuthill then called each of the
jurors by name and each responded in
the same manner, expressing the view
that it would be impossible for the jury
to agree. Juror Harley was the last
juror called. He arose and replied
firmly and with emphasis: II do not
believe we can agree upon verdict"
Counsel of the Same Opinion.
II will ask the counsel for the pris.
oner what they think of the situation"
said Judge Tuthill.
Ex.Judge Vincent arose and re.
marked: "Your honor, do not think
from what have just listened to that
there is any possibility OF verdict
being returned"
"Luetgert, how does it impress you?"
asked Judge Tuthill.
The big fellow arose with smile and
bowed awkwardly to the court. II am
just Of the opinion of my lawyers,
said he. Then he sat down.
"What do you think, Mr.. Deneen?"
inquired the judge, directing his gaze
toward the states attorney.
1T appears from the concensus of
opinion expressed by the jurors that
they cannot agree, replied Mr.. Deneen.
"It seems so to the court" said Judge
Tuthill. He then thanked the jury for
their kind attention during the long
trial and formally discharged them
from further service in the case.
Will BE Tried Again.
Eyes. sir, we will try him again"
said States Attorney Deneen," when
asFed as to the probability of Luetgert
being brought before the court a second
time. "When we will get at it, how
ever, is something can't tell you now.
We have had nine weeks of this and I
must have couple Of weeks rest. After
that we will look the ground over and
get our evidence together. The case
stands now with US as if there had
never been a trial. Second trial has no
bearing whatever on the case just

will you oppose motion to admit
Luetgert to bai.?" Mr.. Deneer was
asked.
"That is something cannot answer.
1t is immature. I have not consid-
cred it,"
There will undoubtedly be motion
made to admit the prisoner to bail it

hours, the words 1--WE are unable to

Imperturbable as ever, evincing no
10y at the words, the wonderful nerve
of the defendant was with him to the
end. He stood up and with only good
aatured smile in his swarthy face,
shook hands with his son Arnold, his
counsel and business partner, William
Charles. In less than five minutes he
was led back to Jail, the jury was dis
missed and the great trial was over.
The IL men were divided as follows:

.Haggard Looking Lot Of Men.
AS the jurors fled into the court
about lO:4O o'clock they were haggard
looking set of men. Several of them
were ccllarless 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 lawyers. Judge Tuthill
sat on the bench and gazed quietly at
the wornout jurors. The clock in the
courtroom licked off five minutes and
nothing occurred to disturb the quiet.
ness. Then the door to Judge Tut
hills private chamber opened and
States Attorney Deneen, ex.Judge
Vincent and Attorney Phalen came out.
They took their accustomed seats at the
table over which they have argued 50
many sharp questions Of law. Soon
Adolph L. Luetgert walked into court
followed by bailiff. Smiling and con-
fident he grasped the hand OF William
Charles as he gained his seat, shook II
and whispered few words into his
business partners ears. Then he sal
down. Judge Tuthill looked up al
Bailiff Connor and nodded. The gray
haired custodian raped sharply fol

Deadlocked Thirty-eight Hours.
Gentlemen, I have called you into
court to ask you if you have reached
verdict" said Judge Tuthill.
Foreman Heickhold arose and replied
"Your honor, we have not"
"Is there any prospect Of your reach
ing one?" asked the court.
Il don't think so. In fact know
there is not-at least that is my firm
belief" responded the foreman.

Wharton, one of the largest stockhold-
ers of the Bethlehem Iron company,

pany has made an offer to sell its plant

Luetgert's defense was that his wife
had left home while temporarily in
sane. The use Of the caustic potash in
the sausage factory vat was explained
as an experiment in soapmaking and
much testimony was introduced to
show that the rings found had never
been worn by Mrs. Luetgert, and that
the bones were not human. The trial,
which consumed eight weeks, was
marked by intense interest and dram
attic incidents, the courtroom being
packed daily to the standing room limit.

anxiety, cursed them on with fierce
oathes, as explorers must when their
own lives are at stake-but neither of
them could kill his own dog. So they
swopped dogs, and deep into their
faithful hearts drove their knives.
Shudder not-''it is necessary'-"it
must be So" in such ventures. Better
to die thus than to starve by inches.
Was their own lot so good? Doomed
to this dark pit for six months of
nights. A pair Of troglodytes. The
musing Of these lines will touch the
hearts of the hardest, when they are
read. On Chistmas Day they had
bludder or some mess, and then pass
ed the time in conjuring up visions of
what their friends were doing. "Ah!
it is morning-they will be getting up
They will be at breakfast they will
be reading lettcrs-they will he turn
ing over Chistmas cards-they will be
at church, singing, praying for those
two despondcnt ones in the pit, far
away, hidden in the Artic night. !"
Are they alive? Will they ever come
back? Most melancholy musings!
They could not read; they had no to-
bacco; there was only blubber pudding.

The Cubans, as a people, are polite,
refined, and hospitable, qualities which
they inherit from their Spanish ances-
tors. An opinion seems to prevail in
England that the Spaniards are treach-
eron~, blood thirsty, and prone to the
use of the knife. Nothing can he
further from the truth. The writer
has had many dealings with Spaniards
in different parts of the world, and has
almost invariably found them gentle
manly and honorable in business and
social intercourse. We are afraid that
this impression arises from the porSnal
il our boyhood days, of y.'lI,w-bac>-
ed volumes, with such titles as "The
Pirate of the Bahamas" or "The Boy
Terror of the Caribbes,' in which the
author reserves all the virtuous parts
for his countrymcn. the villains being
generally foreigners, and Spaniards for
choice. The false impression convey
ell in early life continues in later Y ar.
because few people have any means Of
correcting it. The wspaper accounts,
in which Cubans and Spaniards accuse
each other of gross cruelty, should be
accepted with rs much caution rs
the kilograms which read ''victory' or
''defeat," according as they emanate
from Havana or New York.

THE wELL-ORDERED HOME.

There should he an abundance of
light in the living rooms, for light is
a promoter of good health and cheer
full spirits. There should be plenty of
fresh, pure air at all times, and the
water and drainage should receive the
most intelligent attention and care.
The thorough housekeeper, looking
well to the comfort, healthfulness and
beauty of her home, should be versed
in chemistry, physiology and hygiene,
for well ordered household required
a good knowledge of these Very impor
tant branches.
AS the most impressioanble stage of
life is that of youth so should the home
be made most attractive in all depart
ments of its daily running to the child
life growing up and developing within
it's walls. Not only should the home
be we'll furnished, but it sho> Id be dec
grated as well as in the soft and tender
harmonies of color that seem to mach
the gentle moods and nature of the
mother spirit, who should be the chief
light and ornament Of every home.
Harsh and glaring combinations of
shade and color effects should be al
ways avoided, and the beauty-loving
nature of the child should be appealed
to and developed as carefully as the
physical.
The cooking should be beyond criti-
cism in point of nutritive value and
correct accomplishment, and the serv-
ing should match the preparation. Alb
solute cleanliness should be emphasiz-
