Major Mckinley had sent an emissary

statement Is added If such be possible,
from the fact that Senator Cullom Of
Illinois, who has been considered for
the place, has been dropped, it being the

charge of having murdered his wife.

Mrs. Luetgert disappeared. 1t was at
first supposed she had committed
suicide as result Of her husbands
failure. The river was dragged, but
with no result, and for several days
detectives have been working on the
murder theory The police claim to
have direct evidence that Luetgert
killed his wife in the basement of his
sausage factory on Diversy street, and
that her body was destroyed, with the
object of hiding all traces of the crime.
The police will show, they say, that
Luetgert persuaded his wife to accom-
pany him to his sausage factory on the
evening of May /; that, upon getting
to his building, he choked her to death
or to insensibility; then he threw her
into vat containing powerful acid,
and completed the work by casting the
body into an intense fire. This is the
direct charge against the prisoner.
The main evidence in support Of it are
