CHICAGO, Sept, 2.-The Indifference
of Luetgert after his wife had disap-
peared was the principal fact brought
out against him to-day. 1t was shown
by the testimony of Police Captain
Herman schuetler that Luetgert did not
show any concern regarding his wife,
and never took the trouble to ask the
police whether they had found any
trace OF her or not. on one occasion
he called at the police station to pro-
test against an article in daily paper
saying that his first wife had not died
a natural death. The police at this
time were dragging the river, poking
into clay holes and patrolllng the lake
in the hope Of finding some trace of
the missing woman. but Luetgert, after
he had complained of the paper, left the
station without even asking II the po-
lice had found any trace of his wife.
When the police first became aware
of the disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert
through her brother they asked Luet-
CERT what theory he had regarding her
disappearance, and he said that in his
opinion she had become insane and
wandered away from home. He had
not reported her going away either to
the police or his nelghbors because he
said that 1t was disgrace to have an
insane wife and he did not want people
to know anything about 1t, Captain
schuetler said that in all the police
did on the case before the arrest of
Luetgert they never received any help
or suggestions from the husband and
he never seemed to care whether they
found her or not
Luetgert announced to-day that he
intended to take the stand and testify
in his own behalf. He said that he had
talked the matter over with his attor-
neys and that they had consented that
he should do so. He said that he would
tell all about his actions on the night
preceding the disappearance of bis wife
and would convince the jury that he
had done nothing wrong.

LINCOLN, Neb,, Sept, 2,-The part
izanship that has been so strongly pro-
nounced since the opening of the Dem
ocratic, Silver Republican and PePulIst
conventions was broken at noon and
fusion effected, the three parties agree
ing on Judge John j. Sullivan. OF Col
umbus, Platte county, as the nominee
for supreme Judge. The Populists held
out strongly for Judge Neville, but when
after hot debate and many ballots, the
Silver Republicans finally by acclama-
tion. nominated Judge Sullivan, the
veered around and also unanimously
nominated him, being urged to do 80 by
Judge Neville In a speech In which he
withdrew In favor of Sullivan. The sill
yer Republican vote, while unanimous,
can hardly be said to be full vote, as
over a third OF the delegates left the
city for their homes early this morning,
although leaving their proxies behind.
While fusion has been effected as pre-
dlcted at the beginning, there is some
doubt expressed as to Its being per-
fectly harmonious fusion.
The Democrats took recess TO await
the result of balloting for regents by
the other two conventions.
At 215 o'clock the silver Republicans
convention nominated George f. Ken
over for regent. and endorsed the nom
lnatlon of Il. Won Forell, the PopuIist
nominee. The convention then adjourn
ed sine die.
The Democratic convention wound up
the proceedings of the assembled con-
ventions this afternoon by endorsing
the nominations OF the regents named
by the other two conventions.
