HOW LUETGERT WAS HURT.

Chicago Sept. 19.-It came to light to-
day that Luetgert, the alleged wife muir

afternoon with William Young, a prison

of robbery.

Young hurting him backward against the
pavement of the Jail corridor to save him
self from Luetgert's big fists. The affair
started In a friendly scuffle, but when
Luetgert saw that his opponent was get
ting 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 backward al
most twenty feet against the tile
pavement and a steel door. Luetgert had
to be helped 10 his feet and almost carried

When the trial is resumed Tuesday the
prosecution is expected to consume only
the morning session in winding up its case.
The defense will divide it's rebuttal evil

the evidence will be an attempt to explain
the remarkable chain of circumstances
which the state claims shows that Mrs.
Luetgert was murdered by her husband.
Mrs. Louisia Johnson, who lives near the
Luetgert home, will be placed on the stand
by the state, whether the motive witnesses
are admitted or not. Mrs. Johnson would

May Cause a Church schism.

Lexington, KY, January 2..The
Rev. Henry Clay Morrison, the Meth
odist evangelist and sanctificationist
and coeditor of The Methodist, ho-
illness newspaper, promises to be the
cause of q war in the Southern Meth
odist Episcopal Church which may
rend it in twain. The Quarterly Con
ference, sitting as jury here, has
expelled him from the church.
The charges against Morrison read:
First-We- charge Fl. G.. Morrison
with contumacious conduct in per
sisting in resisting the authority of
his superiors in office, and thus vio-
lating his ordination VOWS. Second
We charge him with violating the
order and discipline of the Church.
Third-We charge him with sowing
seeds of dissension by improper
words and actions.
Before these charges became known
to the public, members Of the Con-
ference stated that Morrison was not
expelled because he was santitica-
zionist, but because he had violated
laws of the Church. Morrison's
friends say that item third in the
charges shows conclusively that it
WAS the doctriue held by Morrison
which caused his expulsion. The
Southern Methodist Church is about
equally divided on the question Of
holiness, so that, should the State
Conference, to which Morrison will
appeal his case, confirm the action of
the Quarterly Conference, schism
will arise in the Church which can
not be eradicated until the Church
is split in two.
No charges were made against Nor
rison's private character, which is
considered above reproach. He is a
brilliant preacher, a scholarly man,
and has been the most successful
evangelist the Methodist Church
South has had for many years. He
is son-in-law of the famous temper
ance lecturer, George W. Balm, but
the Bains do not side with him in the
present controversy. 1t is stated that
should the State Conference sustain
the expulsion, Morrison will carry
the matter to the General Confer
ence, which action would precipitate
bitter church war.
