The Prisoners Little Son Gives Evil
dence Favorlng His Father.
Chicago, Aug. 31.-The trial of Adolph
Leutgert. the sausage maker, for the
alleged murder Of his wife on May l,
began in earnest yesterday. Two wit
nesses were examinei-Diedrlch Bick-
nese. brother of Mrs. Leutgert. and
Louis Leutgert, the 12-year-old son OF
the accused. The testimony Of Bick-
nese tended in the main to show the
alleged Indifference of Leutgert to the
fate of his wife and the alleged disincli-
nation to report to the police the mat
ter of her disappearance.
Louis Leutgert, who is remarkably
bright lad for his age, caused some-
thing of sensation In concluding his
testimony. and 1t Is believed made
counsel for the prosecution regret hav-
ing placed him on the stand. The boy
had already been examined twice as
to his knowledge Of his mothers dis
appearance and in neither case did he
refer to having heard his mother about
the house after he had been sent to bed.
Yesterday he recounted how he had
gone to circus on the evening Of his
mothers disappearance. He returned
home about 1890 and found his mother,
to whom he described what he had seen
at the circus. While engaged in this
conversation, he said, his father en-
tered the room and ordered him to bed.
Later he said he heard his father de-
scendlng the rear stairway In the d.
rection of the sausage factory. This
portion of his testimony was identical
with that given at the preliminary
hearings. But yesterday he continuedby
saying that after he had been asleep
for long time he was suddenly
awakened by hearing a rustling Of
skirts In his bedroom. He called out.

asked him why he had not told this be-
fore. He said no one had asked him
about It.

mother after you left her in the
Kitchen" said the attorney for the
state.
II thought you meant II 1 had seen
her again." was the boys reply.
The defense refused to cross-examine
the boy, and the court adjourned for
the day.
