Testimony of a Sausage Smoker
Causes a Sensation in the
Great Trial,

Chicago, Sept. 1.-Lnetgert : gained and

famous wife murder trial. he gained ty
the testimony OF Frank BiaIk, the night
ness for the State in the case, and some
telling blow against him were delivered Gy
Frank Odorofsky, an ignorant Pole, who
was in Luetgert's employ as sausage
smoker. Bialk's adni ssions that must
benefit Luetgert's case, were at least
three in number.
He admitted that he had been cared for
al the expense of the police department pr
some of the officials for the State ever
since Luctgert's arrest, in May, He had
no money of his own, and did not know 10
whom he was indebted for a living now.
The State has laid much stress on the fact
that, although the factory had been idle
for some weeks. fires Were lighted andstcs n
turned ON on thenight OF Mayf
BiaIK greatly weakened this by admit
ting that the fires were necessary, US it
was intended TO start work at the factory
on the Monday following that Saturday,
night, and that they had to have steam
He also admitted that it was no uncom-
mon occurrence for Luetgert to send hiIn
on errands to the drug store for medicine
or chemicals, as he did the night OF
May ].

A FOOT RACE WITH SATAN
Hospital Patient Sprints in the
Semi-Altogether.
Samuel Holloway Leaves His Clothes
at Washington Asylum-Th
Community Much Excited.

Samuel Holloway, coIored, was pa
ton Asylum Hospital. He had been sent
there several days ago by Sanitary Of
ficer Frank because he was i'll and needed
treatment The young physicians at the
asylum cha araeterized the man as 'daffy,"
but rendered him all the aid possible up
to O'Clock last night, and he was inn
proving.
Holloway did not die, but he took
FreEc, leave. He occupied coL1n oite
of the colnred wards and gave his at
tendants little trouble. After ma king
the rounds shortly before s O'clock last
night and seeing that all the patients
were properly cared for, the night nurse
left the room and set about performing
other duties
just then HALFWAY became suddenly in
bued with the spirit OF liberty, and seeing
his opportunity To free himself, he lost no
time in making his exit. When he arose
from mis- bed he made haspy but fruitless
search for his clothing, and being unable
to find any, refused TO allow so sEght an
| obstacle as few outer garments 10 inter-
fere with his cherished freedom. He
wore nothing hut an Gndershirt. Softly
he stole down he stairs and out OF the
building without being detected. Whittier
he went is not known.
A few moments later, upon the nurse s
| return 70 the ward, II Jlloway was not u
be found, and from another patient il was
| learned that he had lefttae room. y hasty
search OF the building was made, but NJ
| man in thai deshabile condition as de-
| scribed could be found.
| Tue only trace OF the man that could be
| discovered last night was obtained from
| number of frightened citizens OF the ex-
| treme eastern section OF the city who had
| seen man almost nude running wildly
| over the coInInons, shouting that Satan was
! pursuing him and mumbiing something as
| he went that the terrified citizens could
not understand. Where he hid from the
/ pursuit OF the evil one could not bs learned
last night, az Holloway had not been recoy-
| cred at late hour.
| The man is doubtless insane but the ply
sicians do not think he is dangerous
lunatic.
