States Argument

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Assistant State S
Attorney McEwen finished bis argu-
ncnt in the Luetgert trial Tuesday
and will be followed today by Attor-
ney PhalCn who will make the open
ing address for the defense. McEwen
took up the entire day with His argu-
ment and went over the case careful
ly, connecting the details Of the evil
dence for the jury and showing how
the whole mass of evidence submitted
by the state furnished, in his opinion,
full ana complete circumstantial
chain proving that Luetgert had muir
deIed his wife in order that his rela-
tions with his servant girl, Mary Stem
ln5ring, might remain undisturbed
Throughout the entire argument Luet-
CERT listened to the speech of the at
torney who was asking for his life
with the greatest attention. He never
took his eyes of MCEwen for more
than an instant and the heavy scowl
that is habitual with him deepened as
the assistant states attorney pointed
cut circumstance after circumstance
that weighed against his innocence
1t is now practically certain that all
the arguments will be finished so that
the case will be given to the jury
Saturday night at the latest.

of Sage's land, in what is known us
the "tideway," that is, land lying be

Sage claimed that owners Of land
fronting on the river owned the land
in the tideway when it was filled in
10y the city or We're entitled to the
right of access from the water to

who tried the case, held that the city
had an absolute ownership of all

exterior street gave no right OF
action for damages to the owner of
the upland who was cut OFF from the
water. This decision has been af-
