PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-George B. Rob.

noon, at his country residence, at Bala, Of
heart disease, superinduced by indigestion
and catarrh Of the stomach. Mr.. Ro berts
had had serious organic trouble of the
heart for more then fifteen years. and
THOSE who knew the secret of his ailment
were, during great deal Of that period,
exceedingly solicitous lest Some sudden
excitement or overexe"tion should result
fatally. The disease, however, did not or
dinarily interfere with his general health
and usefulness, and It's serious character
was not yet known outside of a small Cir
Gle of friends until recently.
In July, 1896 Mr.. Roberts went to New
England for short rest and change, and
while there more serious symptoms were
developed On his roturn to Bala, Aug.
81, his afiiiction had SO increased that II
was necessary for him to be confined to
his room. Since then he had been grad.
ually failing.

1UEreERr PROJECTION ENDING.
Resume or tho Testimony Made by the States
witnesses.

CHICAGO. Sept. 17.-There was a sort Of
cleaning up by the State in the Luetgert wife
murder trial to-day. All the witnesses for
the prosecution. so far as Is known, have been
heard and the expert testimony is all in. 1t
only remained, according TO the belief OF the
State Attorney and his assistants to connect
the material evidence introduced with the
crime of which Adolph Luetgert is accused.
With this end in view the experts were re-
called. to testify how and from whom they re-
ceived the bones, finger rings, and other arti-
cles subjected by them to microscopical or
other expert examination; police officers told of
the places in which these bits of evidence were
found, how they were found. and what was
done with them after they we're found. In
this manner. the States lawyers say. the neces-
srry corpus deficit has been established, and
they think a conviction OF murder in the first
degree should follow. All of the witnesses heard
to-day mad testified before.
The defence will probably begin on Monday.
Ono Of the theories on which Luetgert 8 coun-
sci will work Is that a police conspiracy exists.
the purpose of which is TO convict the prisoner.
II is said that If Luetgert's lawyers fail to
human, they will make a charge that ennis.
saries Of the police disintegrated the skeleton
of q small woman in caustic potash and then
placed rings and fragments OF bone and flesh
In tho vat and bones in the ashes under the
boiler, to throw suspicion upon the prisoner.
Many witnesses. 1t Is said, will testify that
tho rings in evidence are not Mrs. LuetRert's,
man was Of a strongly jealous disposition,
dissatisfied with her lot, and, that she had fire.
quently threatened to leave home. and on one
occasion remained away several days.
