Chicago, Oct 19.-The fate of
Adolph l.. Luetgert, accused of muir
deripg his wife and dissolVing her
body in a vat filed with caustic
potash, is now in the hands of the
jury. Judge Tuthill finished his
charge to the jury at ABS and five
minutes later the jury filed out and
was locked in the jury room. Supper
was sent in to them short time later,
and after it had been disposed of
they set earnestly to work on the evil
dence. Rumors of 10 to for convic-
ton, and later of 10 to for acquittal
fioated around but there was nothing
in either story. The attorneys On
both sides were confident at midnight
of a verdict favorable to their side,
while the opinion Of the public was
turning towards a disagreement. At
/ o'clock a telephone message was
received from Judge Tuthill saying
that verdict or no verdict he would
not come to the criminal court build
ing before $50 this morning. The
jury at / o'clock was still in the jury
room and seemed no nearer verdict
than at any time since it went out.
There is no chance Of the verdict
being announced before the opening
of court this morning at $3.50.
At 100 Tuesday morning informa-
tiCn direct from the jury room was
that a disagreement had taken place,
both sides being obstinate, and the
chances for an agreement before
morning very slight. A majority OF
the jury is DESTROYS of conviction. 1t
is now generally thought that the
final outcome will he Disagreement.
States Attorney Deneen admitted that
the best information he had was IN
accordance with that given above, but
was hopeful that the outstanding jury
men would come around later on.
About $50 the crowds in Michigan
street were augmented by over
score of men from the vicinity OF
Luetgert's factory. They were assert
i've and unruly and demanded admis-
sion to the court building. This was
refused, but they were so persistent
that word was telephoned to the East
Chicago avenue police station for
more officers. When the officers
reached the building they drew their
clubs and aided by score OF deputy
sheriffs drove the crowd back. The
friends of Luetgert, reinforced by 200
others from the crowd, took a stand
near the middle of the street and
jeered the police. This was kept up
for some time, the men apparently
stopping from exhaustion. Up in the
court room a crowd of newspaper
men, detectives and court bailiffs
filled the apartment The attorneys
for both sides also waited patiently
for the return of the jury.
Over in the Jail Luetgert was given
more freedom than is usually accord
ed prisoners and had been given per-
mission to walk in the corridors. His
pockets were filled with cigars and
he kept one constantly between his
lips. He was making an effort to
appear at ease, but the attempt was
by no means successful. Shortly after
IL o'clock he was Informed by Jailer
Whitman that his time for promenad-
ing was up and he must go to his
cell. Just as he turned toward the
cell he was asked if he expected to
be acquitted: Sure l do; l feel easy
over this verdict and don't worry one
bit. Now | am going to sleep and if
any man wakes me up, it will be
bad for him, l tell you"

himself white bride. He maxi
his living by posing as an artists
model. During the summer he occu-
pies his summer cottage at Dingman's
Ferry, Pa. In winter his home is in
New York city, where he makes
lucrative living in the studios. I'm
like the generality OF his race, he is
a fluent talker, with a fund of most
interesting information about the
manners, customs and history of the
Indians, which he imparts in remark
ably clear, grammatical English. He
is about SO or SO years of age, his feat
ures are almost classical in their reg
ularity, while his physique might be
the envy of the Greek athletes of old.
His personality is so magnetic and at
tractive that in talking to him one

things rare and unusual, many having

early French traders. The table,
which is set in one room is set
with nineteenth century solid silver

prOgressiveness of our fin de seicle

SPLENDID, WASN'T 1T.
This was the Verdict oa the First Presenta
tlon Of Zephra-One of the Finest Per,
formauces ever Seen In Bellows Falls.

Everyone expected fine entertainment
in the presentation of Zephra and no one
was disappointed. The large audience
which witnessed the first presentation
Thursday night were unanimous in their
expressions Of approval. Splendid scenery,
fine acting, when it is considered that the
cast was almost wholly OF local talent,
catchy music, lovely dances, and fine drills
were few of the features which held
the audience spell-bound for nearly three
hours.
To give a comprehensive review of this
fairyland tale in these columns is wholly
out of the question; it would take too long
to tell the story the reader must be con-
tent with hasty and rather imperfect out
line. The cast was as follows:
Zephra, Queen of Norseland,
Mrs. e. H. Gibson
Neyera, daughter OF Decius,
Alice Rich Holbrook
Flora, friend of Neyera, Nettie NJ. Wheeler
Unis, fairy godmother of Neyera,,
Decius, King of Njord, DIR. A. j. Parker
Juna, Prince of highland, G. b. Wheeler
Alexis, minister of state, C. III. Williams
Scion, captain of Decius' guard.
w. J. Conway
Thoras, knight, b. b. Royce
6faf, Attendants of Decius,
l.. L. Durham
W. j. White
Clarence O'Toole McFadden, sergeant
of "The Squad, James Z. Byrne
Boofoo, King of the Mixes, Cora Shedd
Mrs. Gibson as Zephra surpassed the fond
est expectations of her friends. She sat
on the throne discharged her queenly func-
tons with the grace and dignity of one to
the manner born. In the third act where
King Decius finds that he has been
thwarted by the queen and his power taken
from him, her acting was particularly
effective, showing thorough mastery Of
dramatic effect.
Miss Alice Rich Holbrook of Attleboro,
Mass, who took the part, Neyera. was the
