A Sensational Episode In Connec-
ton with the Case.
Chicago, June 3.-The grand jury began
consideration of the Lueteert wife mur .ier
case today, but did not finish the hearing
of witnesses.
There was a sensation, partaking of the
nature OF a mystery, in connection with
the case this afternoon. Mary Siemering,
domestic in Luetgert's family, called at
the Jail TO see Luetgert, but was told it
was after visiting hours. She insisted, hut
the lookup keeper was inexorable. She
then asked ana received permission to
leave a note and package for him.
The package was examined in spite of
her protests and found to contain 81, 400
in large bills. Questioned about the mat
ter, she said she had collected the money
from Luetgert's customers.
The grand jury was still in session and
she was hurried before that body, where
she confessed that she received the money
from Mrs. Feldt, the widow whose name
has been suspiciously connected with
Luetgert's. Mrs Feidt. she said, had
mortgaged some Of her property To raise
the money for Luetgert. The purpose for
which the money was TO be used has not
been learned.
Mrs. FeIdt has lived st Luetgert's house

A PAUPER'S SECRET.
Mrs W. A. Grove Finds and Recog-
nizeS Her Husbands Body.


The skeleton of William A Grove was dis
inferred FROM potters' field yesterday and
leburied in respectable grave in i,ictur
esque Glenwood-
The story connected with his death aui
burial is a strange one Grove was an old
man, a stranger, and to all appearances
destitute when he was admitted to Freed
mans Hospital, in 1898, as free patient.
While be was in that institution no one
called to see him, and being unable from
the nature OF his peculiar nalady TO tell
the whereabout OF any relatives and friends,
he was also marked as ''friendless.'
The disease with which Grove was af-
flicted soon proved fatal, and as no persoa
appeared at the hospital TO claim his :e-
mains, after the regular period had passed,
they were labeled unclaimed dead,
placed in pine coffin and sent To the pad
pers' buryinG ground, just east Of the aims
house, wtere they were buried in an ua-
marked grave.
Several weeks ago the wife OF Grow,
who lives in a Northern city. ty.adyertiseI her
husband as missing and requested the po-
lice of the larger cities to look for him
She finally learned through police head
quarters here that her husband was buried
in paupers grave, and had the skele-
ton unearthed for Identification, which
was complete, as she recognized several
distinguishing marks about the remains.
Mrs Grove stated that her husband
was not pauper, but had plenty of Inc aus.
He had wandered away from home while
suffering from a type of illness which af-
fected his mind
Ever since he disappeared the patient
wife paid up the premiums on his life in-
surance OF several thousand dollars, and
when the skeleton was Identified she col
lected the money.

played when Undertaken Wise buried all
