LUEFGERTs PREDICTION VER1-
FLED.
When the order OF Judge Tuthill'
dlscharglng the jury, was made Luet-
CERT stood up with a smile on his face
and nodded to the Jurors. He was cool
and collected. The action of the jury
had verified an oft repeated prediction
of the prisoner in the past twenty-four
hours. William Charles. Arnold Luet-
eert. Luetgert's counsel and other
friends of the giant sausage maker
crowded around him and shook his ex-
tended hands, Luetgert's eyes spark

weight OF anxiety had been lifted from
| his mind and the sudden reaction from

sltlon, filled the broad breast OF the
sausage maker with emotion, A hailin
tapped the prisoner on the shoulder and
motioned him to follow. Luetgert walk
ed away with a degree of activity not
seen in his mode of locomotion before:
He walked across the bridge to his cell
IN the jail with a light step and In
happy frame OF mind despite the fact
that he remarked TO the Jail guard:
"They ought to have acquitted me-
Their action showed douos and tho
court told them I was entitled to all
doubt"
For the first time since the beginning
of>this great trial not woman was in
the court room when the jury was
| discharged. There was no demonstra-
ton OF approval or disnpproval An

having been Tough, out solely and pure
ly on circumstantlal evidence. Not a
! line OF direct evidence was heard dur
ing the entire trial.
The verdict was not u surprise to
those who have watched the struggle in
the Jury room during the past three
DAYS. For more than twenty-four
hours prior to the discharge Of the jury
! II seemed foregone conclusion that q
disagreement would be the result.
At / o'clock this afternoon counsel for
Luetgert gave States Attorney Deneen
notice that they would tomorrow

plication before Judge Tuthill, for the

] Deneen was not prepared to say wheth-
er or not he would resist the applIca-
tlon, "The admission of a prisoner TO
bail Is discretionary with the court" he
said. after the application Is made In
court I may express my views upon tina
matter II the court desires to hear
them"
When the Jurors had received their
vouchers, they were taken down 20 the
| basement I'm an elevator and left tho
criminal court building by way OF n
rear entrance TO rne JAZZ yard. The
jurors left in squads OF four They
did this TO avoid the great crowd that
had collected In front of the criminal
court building and also to get away
from reporters. But the latter gentle
men were fully posted on exits and en-
frances TO this big building and met the
Jurors az they emerged from che jail
yards
COULDN'T AGREE ON THE RINGS.
II was reluctantly admitted by sever
al of them that the disagreement was
brought about by wide difference of
opinion regarding the rings found in
tho vat, the testimony OF Emma and
Gottlieha schlmplse and thetestimony OF
KenoSha witnesses who positively tss-
tilted that they saw Mrs. Louise Luet-
gert alive In tho Wisconsin town on
| Nav 3. 4 and &. Juror Harley did not
believe the rings found in the middle
vat OF IIuetgert's fnctory were Mrs.
LuetErrt's rings. Holabird was incliu-
| ed TO believe the story Uf the Kenosha
witnesses despite the impeachinH evil
dence introduced and Barber would not
believe the strong evidence given by
the schlmpke sisters. These were con-
sidered the strong features Of the trial
by these Jurors.
The other nine Jurors reached an
agreement on tho evidence shortly
after noon Tuesday and voted together
solldly from that time TO the close. AL
