Attorney Vincent Cannot Shake
Watchmnn's Testimony.
Chicago, Sept. 2.-The crowd that
lowered about the Luetgert murder
Trial anxious to be shocked by nddi-
tional details of the crime was tisap-
pointed at the forenoon session Wednes-
0uy. The defense had its inning at
cross-eNamination and for two hours
the prisoners counsel kept Waterman
Bialk on the rack, trying to beat down
the tissue of evidence he wove Tuesday,
but with apparently little effect.
When Biali resumed his seat on the
witness-stand ut ten o'clock, Assistant
States Attorney McEwen arose and in
formed the court he would not attempt
to prove motive for the killing by the
witness at this time, but would recall
him later. The state says 1t can prove
by Bialk that Luetgert frequently was
accompanied by Mary Silnmering. the
his nocturnal visits to the factory.
Bialk was about to tell about this Tues
day when the defense objected Judge
Tuthill reserved his decision I'm the mat
ter.
Following Binlk's testimony Frank
Odorofsky, an employs at the sausage
factory, was called to the witness stand.
Odorofsky said he broke up the caustic
potash, and under Luetgert's directions
put it In the middle vat. Witness then
told what he saw in the basement Mon
day morning, May 3. Beside the middle
vat was Il mass of reddish brown stuff
which had overtowed from the vat and
had been carried part of the way toward
the sewer opening in the floor. The
STUFF had an offensive smell, and was
Shiny and greasy. Near the vat were
three doors which had been taken from
"a smokchousc near by. Two of these
doors We're smcared with some sub.
stance as though they had been on top
OF the vat and the contents of the WIT
had boiled UP against them. He said
he took quantity of the stuff on a
shovel and examined it carefully. In
It he could see small pieces of bone and
what appeared to he particles of flesh.
Odorofsky said 1uctgert ordered him TO
remove the stuff from the floor and vat,
which he did. and the sausage maker
then told him to take it out and sen tier
1t nll over the yard. II took 1t out into
the yard" said the Witness "but ! did
not scnttcr it around. Instead dumped
1t In one place and put some dirt over
it, The witness said that after the po-
lice began their Investigations in the
case he showed them where he had
placed the material from the vat and
they took part of it away. When court
adjourned for the day Odorofsky was
still on the witness stand.

LUEraERT's TRIAL.
Hearing of witnesses in tho Case
BEGINS IN Chicago.

Chicago, Aug, SIN an address Of
over two hours length Assista Mt States
Attorney McEwen spread before the
icutgera jury on Monday an outline Of
tn. testimony which the state expects
will bring the sausage maker to the
gallows for uxoricide. The opening
speech Of the prosecutor marked the be-
ginning Of the actual trial. Adolph
Luetgert sat as prisoner at the bar,
and with the utmost Indifference lis
tened as the representative OF the state
clearly and concisely unfolded tho
chain of evidence which impartial hear.
ers declared promised strong case for
the prosecution. At the conclusion Of
Mr.. McEwen's address his chief. States
Attorney Deneen, said that strong as
was his le,ltenant's presentation of the
case, the witnesses OF the state will
bind the coils even tighter about the
prisoner at the bar. The first material
witness in the case was called at one
o'clock In the afternoon, when Diedrich
Becknese, brother of the missing woln-
au. took the stand. 1t was to him that
Iuetgert reported, In nonchalant
manner. that his wife had disappeared
several days before and that he had
not thought it worth while to report
the matter to the police.
Louis Luetgert, the 12-year-old,
bright-faced son of the prisoner, was
called next. He produced something
OF q sensation in concluding his testi-
mony, and it is believed caused counsel
for tho prosecution to regret having
placed him on the stand. The boy has
already been examined twice as to his
knowledge of his mothers disappear
ance, and in neither case did he refer
to having heard his mother about the
house after he had been sent to bed.
Monday he recounted how he had gone
to circus on the evening of his moth
er's disappearance. He returned about
1880 and found his mother, to whom
he described what he had seen at the
circus. While engaged in this CONVEX
sation, he said, his father entered tho
room and ordered him to bed. Later, he
said he heard his father descending the
rear stairway in the direction of tho
sausage factory. This portion of the
testimony was identical with that given
at the preliminary hearings. But ha
continued by saying that after he had
been asleep for long time he was sud-
denly awakened by hearing rustic In
the room. He called out: as that you,
fnther?" but his mothers voice replied:
mo; it Is me- The boy declared he
was sure it was his mothers voice which
replied to his query. The states at
torney asked Louis why he had not
told this part of his testimony before,
and he replied that no one had asked
him if he had heard his mother after
retiring. The court adjourned for the
day. the defense refusing to cross-ex-

dence of shocking murder and crema-
ton was brought to light Saturday by
Emily Roberts, nine years of age, while

neighbours house and was returning
home when CHASTITY sight met her
eyes. Lying in the path Immediately
in front of her was woman's head,
the eyes not closed yet. The little girl
almost tainted, but recovering herself

it up by the hair. She was going to
take it to neighbours house and give
the alarm. but just as she was about
to leave the spot man appeared and
commanded her to drop it, saying if
she refused he would kill her. The little
girl dropped her CHASTITY find and ran
as fast us her legs would carry her to
the nearest house and gave the alarm.
Inside of an hour big crowd had col
lected and proceeded to the scene of
the find. The men began an investiga-
ton and soon discovered big brush
fire from which sckening smell arose.
Oil had been poured over the body,
apparently, and as consequence moth
ing could be found but the bones The
man too had disappeared, but from the
description the little girl gave it is be-
lieved he was peddler who was seen
around Chenille within the past few
days. Officers believe the head be-
longed to the body of an Arabian wom-
