Ex.judse Vincent Continues His Argument in
Deience Of the Big German.

Chicago, Oct. ia large crowd of
men and women sat and sweltered as
they listened to the closing argument
Of ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel for
the defence in the Luetgert trial. The
crush of humanity was terrific. A
hundred times the number of people
the court room would accommodate
clamored for admittance. More than
half the number of the crowd that
pushed, pulled and otherwise sought
admission was composed of women.
They came attired in matinee costumes
and when their fans were put in oper-
alton the court room was fiuttering
sea of many hued waves.
Luetgert came into court much i'm
proved in personal appearance, owing
to visit to the Jail barbershop. He
greeted his son Arnold and William
Charles, his business partner. with
hearty hand shakes. Then he turned
and faced the large crowd present.
Ex-Judge Vincent, fresh and conf
dent in physical appearance and in
good voice. resumed his argument
where he left off, Thursday.
Il had intended reading to you some

lions of the court. shall curtail my

into further discussion of the evidence
in this case, l shall read to you two or
three cases of interest"
He then read from law books defini-
tions of circumstantial evidence and
the weight that was due and should be
attached to such evidence.
Il will not say that circumstantial
evidence does not sometimes point to
guilt" he observed, but l will say,
and affirm with emphatic warning to
you that condemning to death human
being on purely circumstantial evil
dence is a dangerous proceeding. Can
any of you in the jury box say that
Mrs. Luetgert will not return before

say she will not come back next week.

He then took up the evidence in the
case and discussed 1t at length. He
defended William Charles, Luetgert's

ed, and practically admitted that the

Charlie Long is once more care free
and happy Chinaman. He incurred the
displcaSure Of his c 'unlrymrn by rum
ming laundry in which he did work at
cut prices. lie withstood all attempts
on the part Of the local people to make
him raise his prices and conduct his
business according to recognized Chinese
standards and tinaIl ~ the matter was put
in the hands OF the Philadelphia branch
Of the Lee Iup Company. They inn
mcdiatc.y commenced operation sending
to- convince Long that his course Was
unsafe. In varluns secret ways and by
many methods he was made to fee! the
powerful hand Of the terrible company.
Parcels OF clothing have been talnpercd
with. throwing him into trouble with
his customers his books and checks
have been muti'atcd in ways that none
buta Chinaman could have done and
finally his arrest followed as the result
OF a misunderstanding with Il customer,
due to an altered stab.
Recognizing tina, the matter was TAX
Il serious turn and that something must
bc done, Long went to Philadelphia to
consult lee Toy, the "Mayor' "i China
town whose word is law with the aver
are lninaman and t" incur whose dis
pleasure means more to Chinaman
than tl.ry dare express. A- a result Of
his appeal Il meeting Of several OF the
leading Cinnamon Of this city, Il raprc
sentative Of tie lee Yup Company,
Long and his principal assistant, was
held yesterday in Philadelphia.
Tie matter was carefully siitcd and
the "May"r,' who apparently had some
inside inirrlnaton acquired no doubt in
his own peculiar way, took an entirely
common sense view OF the matter. He
said that Long tn ,ugh no doubt I'M
wise to an.agon:zc his countrymcn, had
Il right I, conduct his business as he saw
fit and hat the matter must be dropped.
The Lee Iup representative objected on
the ground that considerable expense
had been incurred by the company and
and that as they were not the principals
they should not be made t. lose the
money. This objection was answered
in peculiarly Chinese way. He was told
that his company was Il, liberty to rp'-
lee: from the principals by such methods
as they saw fit, any money expended by
them in this case. Considering the p,-
culiar process of collection in vogue
with the L'' Yup company they vii,
probably he paid.
1t was further ordered that the red
