FlENDS In KENTUCKY.
Eleven OF them Subject a Young
Woman to Fearful Treatment

Cincinnati, Oct. s.-An angry crowd
gathered about the courthouse and fail
in Newport, KY, yesterday upon the
announcement of a most shocking as
sault by IL men upon the young wife of
a switchman recently married. The
sheriff was obliged to clear the corridors,
and threats of vengeance were made.
Thomas Gleason and his wife started
out on the Alexandria pike TO visit q
friend Wednesday night. when two men
with revolvers and representing them
selves to be officers separated husband
and wife and dragged the shrielsing
woman into a field, where IL men as
saulted her. The penalty for this crime
in Kentucky is death.
The rufilans were brought TO prelim-
mary trial before Judge Bennett, who
held them all TO answer 10 the grand
jury without bail. Meantime oySng TO
the excited state Of feeling and the in
security of the Newport jail. the men
were ordered to be taken to Mayville for
safe keeping.
When the time came for the removal
OF the 10 prisoners to the Chesapeake and
Ohio depot TO take the train for Mayville
there was such rg rgenacing crowd about
the jail that the sheriff called out the
entire police force TO preserve order.
1t was with difficulty that the men were
taken to the wagons which conveyed
them TO the depot, and the crowd fol-
lowed close after. At the depot and be-
fore the train arrived the situation grew
more threatening. The police force
finally had TO charge the yelling crowd
10 prevent rush at the prisoners.
Fortunately the train soon came.
The prisoners are aged from 10 to 90.

IS BAD FOR
LUETGERT.
Evidence Of Two of His
Witnesses Attacked.
A WOMAN PROVED A LIAR
Disregard OF Truth by the Sausage
Makers Partner.
REPUTATION TORN TO TATTERS

Chicago. Oct. S.--One more day OF evil
dence and the finish OF the Luetgert muir
der trial will be in sight The state an
nounced yesterday that IL had but few
more witnesses, and that II would get
through with them without much delay
today. An adjournment will then be
taken until Monday. when the defense
will offer a small amount OF sur-rebut-
tai, and the way will be clear for the
arguments Of the attorneys, which will
take about one week.
II was a bad day for the defense. The
evidence OF two of their chief witnesses
was almost destroyed. Mary Siem-
mering's evidence was torn TO tatters.
Members of the grand jury which in
dicted Luetgert testified TO admissions
the young woman had made before that
body as to her relations with Luetgert
until Judge Tuthill tired OF IT. Finally
his honor said: II will hear no more
grand Jurors. Their evidence Is but a
repetition. IL seems TO me that the
principle upon which they are being
questioned has been thoroughly COW
cred"
Police Matron Mcmahon was placed
upon the stand TO deny Mary Siemmer-
ing's story that she had been subjected
TO humillating treatment when she was
placed under arrest and brought TO the
station. Matron Mcmahon declared Il
was untrue that the young woman was
despoiled Of all her clothing in her cell
as she had stated. and that policeman
had stood guard at her cell door while
che was without raiment
Then came a herd OF witnesses 10 i'm
peach Luetgert's business partner. Mr..
Charles sat in the courtroom and lis
tened ta his reputation assaied right
and left. Alexander ]. Sweeney, Philip
Reitz, William Spanka and others, who
had sustained business relations with
Charles at the Futon market. declared
that they knew Charles reputation for
truth and veracity was bad. They told
OF business transactions they had with
Charles in which they got the worst of
the bargain through wilfull deception
and a disregard for the truth on the part
OF Charles.
Abraham Sellg. who bought the grocery
department Of Luetgert's sausage fac
tory. testified that he found 159 boxes Of
soap in the store. and that much Of il
was scrub soap" This was brought
out TO show that Luetgert did not need
TO make soap with which to clean the
big sausage factory.
