Several weeks ago the Intelllgencer

for Wheeling in 1898 the reunion of the
Society of the Army of West Virginia,
II promptly and vigorously undertaken,
would meet with success. The sugges-
ton was followed up with interviews
with business men and veterans, and
the result was the working up OF senti-
ment to the point OF calling a meeting OF
citizens. At this meeting committee
was named TO push Wheefing's claims
before the Columbus reunion this week.
Last night several OF the members OF
the committee. including Mr. Howard
Hazlett, Captain c. j. Rawllng, Mr.. Jo-
seph c. Brady and Mr.. Dunlap, the lat

KINGwooD, W. Va, Sept s.-The
trial OF Edward Howard. of New York
City, the alleged diamond thief. began
in the circuit court here this morning. ],
NJ. Culp, of Washington, traffic mana
ger of the Southern railroad, was on

The train was passing through Pres
ton county. Mr., Culp had gone forward
from the sleeper to the wash room, IN
the smoking car. He laid down his shirt
containing the diamond and the train
Immediately went into long tunnel
When It emerged from the tunnel he
discovered that his diamond stud was
gone, and he Immediately looked for
the solitary passenger he had seen In
the smoker before the train entered the
tunnel. That passenger was Howard,
who was travelling with a woman al
legged to be his wife. Howard had gone
back 90 his wIfe's car, and denied the
theft, OF course, when confronted BY
Mr.. Culp.
Howard and his wife were arrested at
Cincinnati and searched. but the miss
ing stone was not and never has been
found.
The defense scored a point In having
the evidence ruled out about the case OF
a substitute diamond found in their
baggage,

stantlated Mr.. Culp's testimony, as did
Dr. Carrie Brandenburg, OF No, 223 East

CHICAGO, Sept. s.-Both the morning
and afternoon sessions OF the court In
the trial or Adolph Luetgert were con-
sumed in the taking OF expert testimony,
Through chemical analysis the state
must establish not only the possibility of
a human body being dissolved by the
action of caustic potash heated to the
boiling point, but also the fact that the
bits OF bone, hair, and flesh and the
scraplngs Of pinkish-brown material

Luetgert was anxious to rid himself OF
his wife and that he enticed his wife "a

By expert testimony they expect 10
prove that Mrs, Luetgert's remains are
now represented by the bits OF bone.

have been called, DIR. Charles Gibson and
Prof. Mark Delafontaine,

naming time OF the session and the en-
tire afternoon session.
The prosecution could not draw from
Prof. Delafontaine the assertion that the
bits OF flesh were human flesh. They
might be human, but they might also be
the flesh of an animal. The bones he
was sure were. human bones, but regard
ing the flesh he was very guarded and
careful In his statements. He will to-
morrow morning be turned over to the
defense for cross-eXamlnation,
At no time during the day did the
defendant display emotion, not even
when the big dry goods box with Its
grewsome contents of flesh and bone
was placed a few feet from him near
the Jury. He handled the gunnysacka
and Inspected with curious glance the
bits of flesh and bone which were passed
gingerly from attorney to attorney, but
at no time did his hand tremble or the
look of ordinary interest give way to
pallor or an averted glance, Innocent
or guilty, the verdict OF all Is that Luet-
CERT is possessed of more nerve than any
other man who has ever been tried for
murder within the precincts OF the crlm-
inal court building.
The attorneys for the defense continue
IN their confident attitude and assert
that when their prisoner is acquitted and
