THEY SAW MRS. LUETGERT.
New Witnesses Who Will Testify for
the Chicago Sausage Maker.

CHICAGO, Dec. HIN defense of Adolph
l.. Luetgert on his retrial one witness will
swear that she saw his wife coming from her
home on the night OF her supposed murder
shortly after 1880 O'Clock. Another witness
has been discovered who is willing to swear
that he saw her the next morning, May 2,
within six blocks of the factory, sitting on
the stone curbing in front of his residence.
In view of this newly discovered evidence
the defense has practically decided to aban-
don the Kenosha alibi. used in their first
trial. The correctness of these statements
was attested by Attorney REESE to-day. 1t
is said that the same plan was perfected
during the last hearing, and that Attorney
Vincent, then chief counsel for the defend
ant would not permit the evidence TO be
used The jury was not completed to-day,
as was expected.

people of Montgomery county are paying
their taxes better this year than ever be-
fore in his knowledge. This is especially
true of the farmers, who seem to have
plenty of ready money and are anxious to
pay their taxes at once and secure the re-
bate. 1t has been many years since the
farmers of this section have been in such
good circumstances, and the banks are suf-
fering in their business as a result. 1t is
almost impossible to loan their money, and
the loans they have made are rapidly being
paid off,
