IMPEACHlNG WITNESSES.
The Luetgert Defense Abandons It's Ex

The Luetgert Defense Abandons Its Ex
pert Testimony In a Hurry.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-An unexpected
turn of affairs occurred in the Luetgert
trial during yesterday afternoons ses-
sion of court. The defense, after ex-
amining one expert, suddenly dropped
it's line of expert testimony and put on
witnesses to impeach the evidence of
witnesses for the state.
Professor William Hall Of the North
western Dental college, an expert in
chemistry, gave scientific testimony
with reference to the action of potash
upon false teeth and the plates to which
they are attached. 1t was his opinion
that the potash solution in the vat in
which Mrs. Luetgert's body is said to
have been dissolved was not of suf-
ficient destructive power to seriously
affect the teeth, but it would undoubt-
edly either destroy or greatly damage
the plates.
David Victor, a carpenter who lives
In the vicinity Of the Luetgert sausage
factory, was called upon to tell whether
he had ever observed Mrs. Luetgert in
a sad or morose condition Of mind. He
said he had not.
Frank Geyster, who was employed In
the grocery department of Luetgert's
sausage factory, told of seeing Luetgert
around the factory during the forenoon
of May as usual. The sausagemaker
seemed to be in his usual frame OF
mind, according to the witness.
There is a rumor to the effect that

DR.. POTTER LOSES.
His Suit Against ]. D; Rookie
feller Thrown Out.
MINISTER'S COUNSEL DESERTS HIN
The Action Arose From an Att, mpt to
Force the Oil Magnate to Pay In
terest on $4,000 Worth
of Bonds

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The suit of the
Rev. DR.. Daniel c. Potter against John
D Rockefeller for $25O,0O0 damages for
libel came up in part III. of the su-
preme court. DR.. Potter, whose counsel.
A. G. vanderpool, had, he said, forsak-
en- him, asked for a continuance. of the
ease, but Judge Gildersleeve declined to
continue it and dismissed the com
plaint. DR.. Potter says he will reopen
the case at once.
The suit is one of the numerous chap
ters in the history of the troubles of the
BAPTIST Tabernacle church, at Second
avenue and Tenth street, from which
DR.. Potter was ousted few months
ago.
When the case was called, DR.. Pot
ter said that his papers had been re-
turned to him. He asked for contin-
uance.
George w. Murray, for the defendant,
said that he was ready to go on with
the case, and thought the plaintiff was
only bringing forward another of the
excuses of which he seemed to have an
unlimited supply.
Judge Gildersleeve said he believed
the reason DR.. Potter's counsel failed
to appear was because he did not have
the moral courage to come forward and
ask for another continuance after
bringing up so many excuses and caus-
ing so many delays. The judge said
he believed the case ought to be dis
missed anyhow.
DR.. Potter's suit for $25O,OOO against
Mr.. Rockefeller, alleging malicious
wrongs done him, grew out of DR.. Pot
ter's attempt to compel Mr.. Rockefeller
to make good the interest on the $5O,0O0
worth of bonds which the oil magnate
placed to the credit of the Tabernacle
Baptist church.
The case was conducted with great
secrecy. Testimony was taken before
a commission. A great deal of DR.. Pot
ters complaint was stricken out be-
cause Of it's being scandalous.
Potter appeared thunderstruck, and
in a quivering voice asked if he could
not reopen the case. The judge inti-
mate that this might be done after he
had ecured other counsel and had the
proper papers made out.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-A letter was re-

Africa, which disposes of the story re-
ceived at Rome from Benadir, saying
that the Cavandish sporting expedi-
ton, which left Berbera, East Africa,

of Amharas, who murdered all the
members of the expedition, consisting
of two Englishmen and 80 Ascaras.
The later news says that Cavandish,
who is nephew of the Duke of Devon
shire, and Lieutenant Andrew, his
companion, arrived at Kikuyu on Aug.
5. after a trip around Lake Rudolph,
which up to that time had not been ex-
plored.
Their head man melted the Ascaras
to mutiny, and the two Englishmen
were forced to yield to their demands,
but, near Kikuyu. Cavandish and An
drew seized the two ringleaders, who
have since been sent to the coast for
trial.

SOMETHING OF A HERO.
This Boy Will Not Tell the Name OF
the Girl Who Stabbed Him.

Hastings, Neb., Oct. 14.-Henry Crow,
the young man stabbed with hatpin
in the hands of his sweetheart Sunday
night, is not dead yet. Physicians thus
far have been unable to locate the part
of the pin which broke off and remained
in the victims side. No hope is given
that he will recover.
Mystery still surrounds the case. The
boy, for he is but IS years old, refuses
to make public the name of the girl
or details concerning the attack which
ended so diSaStrOusly to him. To one
of the physicians today he cOmmunicat-
ed the fact that he was stabbed by a
woman friend with whom he was
spending the evening. He minated
that she thrust the pin into his side in
an angry moment, following some con-
verSatiOn about a rival. The blow was
so suddenly delivered and in such an
awkward way that the steel broke in
two.
The young man said he did not know
he was badly injured, though he imme-
diately left the house in rage. He
discovered when the weapon was with
drawn that part of it had been left in
the wound, and after leaving the house
he concluded that he had better have a
physician remove the broken piece. He
called a passing cab and was taken to
doctor, who at once discovered the ma
ture of the wound. The family of the
done to induce him to tell the girls
name after he discovered that his
wound was likely to prove fatal.
Another story is being circulated by
friends of the wounded boy to the eff
ect that the version of the attack be-
ing deliberate is a myth, and that it
was an accident; that the name of the
girl with whom the boy was spending
the evening is known to the police and
that the girl is heartbrOken over the
result of what was purely an accident.
have been put in circulation to shield
the girl.
