Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 2S.-The coron-

of the striking miners at Lattimer has
rendered the following verdict:
That from the circumstances of the
case and the evidence offered said
Clement Platok and others came to
their deaths by gunshot wounds Sept.
10, 1897, at the hands of Sheriff Martin
and his deputies, and in this we, the
jury, do all agree, and we. Phil. J..
Boyle, Thomas, Barton, Freas and Pc
ter McKeirman, of this jury, do fur
Their say that the said Clement Platok
with Others was marching peaceably
and unarmed on the public highway,
that they were intercepted by said
Sheriff Martin and his deputies and
mercilessly shot to death, and we dc
further find that the killing was un.
necessary and could have been avoid
cd without serious injury to either
ferson or property. and we find finally
that the killing was wantcn AMI ur.
ldstifiable, but in this we, George Maut
end f. j. MacNeal, of this jury, do no
concur, and we, the jury, do further say
that there was such a strong suspicion
of unlawful violence at the hands o
a rerscn or of persons unkr own tC

SOME INTERESTING TESTIMONY
BROUGHT OUT MONDAY,
WHAT PARTNER CLARK SAYS
He Testifies That on the Evening the
Murdered He Conversed With Luet-
CERT and the Latter Said That He
Was Going to Experiment.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-rhe leading
event in the Luetgert trial yesterday
was the evidence of William Charles,
Luetgert's business partner. He ex-
planned why as he claimed. caustic
potash in which the body OF Mrs.
Luetgert is alleged by the prosecution
to have been dissolved, was bought.
According to the Charles story, the
potash was purchased as the principal
ingredient of a quantity of soap to
be used in cleaning up the big fac
tory preparatory to its sale to the
English syndicate. The witness said
that he suggested this method of put
ting the factory in shape himself and
that Luetgert, acting on the sugges-
ton, ordered a barrel Of caustic pot
ash weighing 375 pounds, to be sent
to the factory in March last. This is
about the time the prosecution claims
negotiations were pending between
Luetgert and Davey, the mysterious
Englishman, who is said to have rep
resented a syndicate and borrowed
something like S25 900 from Luetgert.
Charles also offered an explanation of
the apparently barricaded door to the
basement stairway by telling about a
chase for rats in which a small dog
took an active part. He said that
the factory had been infested by rats
for some time and that every effort
had been made to get rid of them.
On the evening Of April 80,
he and Luetgert, with others,
were in the basement when
a terrier which belonged to
the witness got after a rat. Charles.
L~uetgert and others, moved boxes, bar
rels and other obstacles to aid the dog
in his chase and the boxes and barrels
we're hurled in q pile against the door.
The barricade Of the door was unin-
territorial, he said. IT just happened
that the articles were thrown there
without any thought of the door at
oil. Charles said hat besides caustic
potash, two or three barrels of tailow,
a quantity OF grease and some Clipped
bore, such as was to be used in making
soft soap, was delivered at the factory.
He said that Pedafowski and Kevan-
dowski, two laborers, were employed
in the factory to place some stuff in the
middle vat. He also saw Frank Bialk
at the time the caustic potash was put
in the vat, and Luetgert said that he
would see to turning on the steam and
boiling the stuff. Charles said that he
met L%uetgert in a saloon opposite the
factory on the evening of the night
Mrs. Luetgert disappeared, and Luet-
CERT said that he was going over to the
factory and turn on the steam, At
O'Clock the same night, Charles said
that he went into the basement Of the
factory and found Luetgert there and
the steam turned on. The mixture
boiled over once or twice and splashed
or the floor. The following day he
visited the basement and saw the
mixture in the vat. The tallow was in
enc portion of the vat and the grease
or lard had collected in ranotheI
part of the vat, by itself.

MR. PEPPERS CUBAN LETTERS

The attempt of Havana newsnanar IN
impugn In advance the report that will he
mide TO the President by Special Commits
sioner Calhoun, by means of an a+tact-
upon the letters which have been printed
as coming from Mr. Pepper. has had the
effect of arousing the friends of the news
paper man to his defense. Mr.. Peppers
letters have been printed in The Washing
ton Evening Star, SO that they hayeafaIlen
directly under the eye not onIy OF Con-
gress, but of the members of the dip,o-
matlc corps resident in Washington and
nave doubtless been used as the basis for
reports 10 their own governments. They
nave attracted more attention than would
have been accorded to similar communion
tlons from other sources because of Mr.
Peppers high character among newspaper
men, and his reputation fer impartiaiity in
the pursuit of his business The proprietors
of The Star were led to select Mr.. Pepper
to visit Cuba and report upon the condi-
tions there for this and for no other reason
AS their special correspondent during the
last heated presidential campaign Mr.. Pep
per showed such a spirit of impartality
fairness and SO much GOODNESS in times of
excitement that unbalanced tne Judgment
of many other men, they felt sure that his
Investigations would bring to light the
exact truth, at least SO far us 1t could be
conveyed through the impressions made
upon II trained and unbiased newspaper
man. therefore, MT. fepper was not CHOSEN
out of consideration of his relations to the
President and Mr.. Calhoun.
AS for the former, they were those that
might exist between any newspaper man
who had been much in contact with the
President through a campaign and had
earned his &c cd opinion through his accu-
rate and fair work, while as for the friend
ship Of Mr.. Calhoun for Mr.. Pepper, it is
the confident belief of Mr.. Peppers en-
ployers that his work could not be infiuenc-
ed in the slightest degree from considera-
tions growing out Of that connection.
In answer to the criticism that Mr.. Pep
per's work has been unfair toward the
Spanish side, 1t Is pointed out that In last
Saturdays Star was one Of his letters de-
voted entirely to an exposition of the
merits of the Spanish cause, the basis being
an interview with one Of the largest plant
ers on the island, who presents his strong
est arguments by the aid Of Mr. Pepper s
Pen, to show that Cuban domination would
mean anarchy and ruin for the best inter-
ests Of the island.

Arlington never looked lovelier than to-
day. The trees were In foliage so thick as

simple inscription on the immense granite
