men were hired to do the work. They
removed the covering from the well and
such stencil emanated from the place
that it drove the men away.
They waited a few moments and then
returned to bail out the water. The
source of the stencil was explained when
the decomposed remains of the child
were found. There seems to be no clue
that may lead to the discovery of the
parties who threw the body into the
well. The house has been vacant for
several months previous to the time that
the colored family moved into it.

LUETGERT KNOCKED OUT.
Injured While Engaged in IL Scuf1e
With Fellow Prisoner in Jail
in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-1t came 10 light to-day
that Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer,
indulged in a fight last Wednesday after-
noon with William Young. a prisoner con-
fined in the same tier on the charge of
robbery. The eX-Sausage manufacturers
lameness is not due to rheumatism as was
given out by himself and his guards, but
the result of Young's hurting him back
wards against the pavement of the jail
corridor to save himself from Luet CERT s
big fists. The affair started in friendly
scuffie, bu: when Luetgert saw that his
opponent was getting the better of him.
he lost his temper and began rushing
his man. Young. however. who is quick
and muscular. caught his opponent around
the waist and literally hurled him back
wards about twenty feet against the tile
pavement and steel door. Luetsert had
TO be helped to his feet and almost carried
to his cell. The jail physician says the
fall wrenched one of the ligaments of the
thigh. and it may be weeks before he fully
recoyers.
When the trial is resumed Tuesday, the
prosecution is expected to consume only
the morning session in winding up its
case. H.'.~
The defense will divide its rebuttal evil
dence into two parts. First, they will at
tempt to show that Mrs. Luetgert was
seen and talked with after the night she is
said to have been murdered. If the Keno

lightly. and this will probably be held in
reserve. The principal part of the evidence

state claims, shows Mrs. Luetgert was
murdered by her husband.
