1t was voted to have the trustees i'm
mediately proceed to repair the church,
and it is expected that regular services

upon profession of faith to Mr.. L. D.
Freeman. of Blystone, Pa, an influential
farmer, who, though isolated from any OF
our churches and regular attendant
upon partialist church, has chosen to
be strictly faithful to his ideals. There
were several faithful Universalists, who
though isolated, came many miles over
dusty roads to hear again the gospel of
eternal hope. Among them were noted
Mrs. Mary Irish and Mrs. George Tay-
lor, of Edinboro, who expressed hope
that our gospel might again be preached
in their town.
The venerable Father Billings of Texas
was one of the founders of the Associa.
tion and was often mentioned during
the meetings.

STRONG FEATURE OF REBUrrAL.



One Of the strongest features in the
rebuttal evidence offered was the evi-
deEce Of Adam Brinker, teamster for
soap factory. 1t was in reference
TO the tallow, grease and Clipped bone
which George EIand said he delivered
at the factory on May l. and William
Charles testified he procured as some
of the ingredients Of the soft soap
which was to be made for the purpose
Of thoroughly cleaning uD the big
sausage factory preliminary to its pro-
spective sale to an English syndicate.
Brinlder said he hauled all the tallow-
sixty-siy pounds - and $50 pounds of
boce away from the factory on May l.
He explained that it was his duty to do
this once each week-usuaily the last
day of the week. He conveyed the ma
terial to soap-making firm by which
he was employed.
Did you see bones, taIlow or mixed
grease in barrels other than the grease
you hauled on May 1?' asked McEwen.
No; the barrels were all empty that
l saw in the factory that day"
Did you ever put any bones or tallow
in the icehouge?' mo"
This evidence was considered i'm
portant as contradicting the story Of
the defense to the effect that Luetesert
had used barrels of grease and tallow
in the factory on the night Of May l in
making soft soap. According TO the
story Cf Brinl-ler there was absolutely
no tallow, bones or grease in barrels
which were alleged to have been rolled
into the basement and afterwa I'd :
dumped into the middle vat Brirkler
added that he knew Mrs. Luet-ert
quiet We'll and had seen and talked with
her Just prior to her disappearance He
said she talked nationally, and tkat she
did much Of her own housework This
latter statement was in contradiction Of
The story of Mary Siemering.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Moran was
called TO the witness stand to tell about
what he found at the Luetgert sausage
factory on May 4, where he made a
seizure under foreclosure. He said that
he toCk possession of everything in the
grocery store connected with the fac
tory. He found among other things
100 boxes of soap of different brands
This point was brought out to impress
upon the jury that Luetgert did not re-
quire the soap it is asserted he pro-
posed making.
Emma SchimPke was recalled TO the.
witness stand and an effort made to
show by her that all the impeachirg
evidence that had been produced by the
defense On ner testimony was the re-
suit Of a misunderstanding of her story.
on direct examination she had stated
that she saw Luetgert and his wife
going toward the sausage factory at
1890 O'Clock on the night of May l.
She was asked upon cross-examination
if she had not testified to seeing Luet-
Gert and his wife on May %. Witness
said she had not.
She had said. however. that on the
night Of May % she met Harry Fielder
and the other boys at about the Same
point she met them on the night Of
