The fact that there was another New
England woman, besides Mol Pitcher
who won fame at the lannon's mouth
that served in the Revolution. has recent
ly been brought to light as the result Oh
an inquiry at the Pension Bureau. There
Is a lady, Mrs. Hettie Russell Ldttleneld'
living in the Commonwealth OF Massa-
chusetts who is anxious TO become a
Daughter OF the Revolution: she pc
leved that her genealogy could be traced
back to Revolutionary times through the
records of the Interior Department; WIN
a view to proving this fact she addressed
a communication 10 the Secretary OF the
Interior asking information as 10 the al
legged military service of Deborah Can
nett. her ancestor who was said TO nave
served as an enlisted soldier In the Rev
dictionary war as a member OF the Mas

frmed by the receipt Of the following let

STILL NO VERDICT.
LUETGERT JURY LOCKED UP FOR
ANOTHER NIGHT.
TEN FOR DEATH; TWO FOR ACQUITTAL
This Is About the Way the Twelve
Men stand-Three More Letters Of
Room.
Room.

CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING, CHI
CAGO, October 20.--At $50 tonight 1t was
announced from the Office of State's-At-
torney Deneen that there would be no
announcement OF verdict in the Luet-
CERT case before the opening of court TO-
morrow morning.
For a time tonight 1t was rumored that
IL the jury had not agreed by tomorrow
IL would be discharged as soon as 1t re-
ported its inability to reach a VERDICT
This however, is not the case. 1t Is the
firm determination of Judge Tuthhi 10
keep the jury until Saturday night, or
late Saturday afternoon, before he per-
mits them to go with a disagreement.
He has announced that both state ana
defendant have spent so much money
and time, and the case has been so long
and difficult to try, that he will not con-
sent to the discharge of the jury until
there is absolutely no hope whatever OF
q verdict being reached.
HOW THE JURY STANDS.
The jury stands about where 1t stood
twenty-four hours ago. Reports vary
from nine for the death penalty TO ''hree
for acouittaI to eleven for death and one
for acquittal. The one juror holding CUT
for Luetgert is Harley. and it is thought
that II he would change front there Would
he Uttle'time lost in arriving at Verdlc''
Juror Holabird is also credited with Ia
voring the acauittaf of the prisoner, but
II is thought he would come around quick
lv If Harley could be induced to vote lor
conviction.
The feeling among the jurors who are
I'm favor of the death penalty is high
against Harley, and they have done some
plain talking to him. At one time TINS
morning they even sent for Judge Iuthil
to know, among other things, II eleven men
could compel one man to vote with them'
or If a verdict would be valid If but eleven
men signed it. This is the incident that
gave to the State the idea that there was
but one man standing between Luetserl
and a death sentence.
1t is rumored that Judge 1uthlll TINS
morning opened three letters Offering
brides TO the jury. This report cannot
be verified.
VANDALISM IN COURTROOM.
The courtroom of Judge Tuthill Is the
scene of vandalism with no parallel in
the annals of sensational trials. Some OF
the spectators took advantage OF the
absence of the bailiff and Clerk Knoch,
and seized on every portable article OF
stationery. Sections of the improvised
desk used by newspaper reporters during
the tedious trial were also carried OIL by
the morbid crowd.
Judge Tuthill, in the course of his ire
ouent communications with the court
room by telephone, inquired after his
gaveI and inkstand. He said he was
particularly anxious TO keep both, as
mementoes for his wife. when ne was
told that all the small articles were gone
he expressed himself in vigorous lam
pIIage.
