Damaging Evidence Given Against the
Prisoner by Hn Expert.
CHICAGO, Sept 15,-'The prosecution
in the Luetgert trial Is nearing It's end
and the announcement was made to-
day that 1t would probably have all its
witnesses on the stand by Saturday at
noon.
The evidence given to-day weighed
heavily against Luetgert, and no more
damaging testimony has been given
against him than that of Professor
George A. Dorsey, of the Field Column
bian Museum, who was on the stand
this afternoon. Out OF the bones found
in the sausage factory, one was shown
him and In the most positive manner
and without a particle OF hesitation he
pronounced It TO be the upper portion OF
the left thigh bone of woman. He said
that the formation OF the upper end OF
the bone proved without any question
that It was the femur Of woman. The
bone had the appearance of having
been burned, and Assistant States All
torney McEwen put the question to the
witness:
Gould solution OF caustic potash
have produced the burnt effect you have
pointed out on the bone7"
The reply Of the witness was emphat-
ic and immediate: I'm my Judgment II
could"
The evidence was a hard blow to the
defense and Luetgert scowled blaci1ly
at the witness. Professor Dorsey also
Identified the bone shown him as the
left temporal bone OF woman. Profess
sor Norval H. Pierce Identified the
bones in a manner similar to that OF
Professor Dorsey. The cross-examlna-
ton Of both witnesses was postponed
until tomorrow.

Washington, August 21.-It is not i'm
probable that official announcement will
be made In few weeks Of radical changes
in the present attitude OF the penslon
bureau toward pension claimants who had
a Confederate war service. Under the pres
ent construction OF the laws any service

later service for the government is bar 10
pension. Commissioner OF Pensions Evans
believes that II claimant served in any
capacitv in the Confederate service, but
later deserted or left its ranks. enlisted in
the Union army, served therein and was
honorably discharged IT would be an In
justice TO refuse him a pension. He be-
lieves that having performed honorable
service In the Union army the past hostile
service should be overlooked. Assistant
Secretary Webster Davis, whose decisions
have been Ia the line Of liberal construction
OF the pension laws. Is understood to have
similar views. The question has beeu re-
ferred to the president and Secretary Bliss
