GLADIATORIAL FOOTBALL,

batting, then it Is better that they should remain over their pots of beer and leave honest people alone. The in- human practice that is indulged in in the provinces of attacking referees who have umpired a match to the best of their ability, but without meeting with the approval of some of the spectators, must, If continued, sooner or later lead to the exercise of repressive measures that have not been put into force by the powers of the land. So far our games have not been interfered with by the police, but if the practice of sur rounding a defenceless man and at tacking him with some fifty fists and boots at time is persevered in the law must interfere. The attack lately made upon MT. Harnett in South Wales was of so serious nature that, had that gentleman been got down, it is ex tremely unlikely that he would have lived to tell his tale. Such practices as these are not seen even upon the much condemned racecourse, so it is no longer possible to blink the fact that a large amount of brutal human scum as sembles at football matches in certain parts of the country. We owe so much to our vigorous games, such as football, that everything should be done to pre- serve them untainted, and it is impossi- ble to say that this immunity has been obtained when referees go in terror of
 their lives at the hands of brutalized spectators. Referee-baiting has so far not reached the acute stage of knob sticks applied to the head and hob
 nailed boots to the shins in the metro polttan district, but We have seen
 1t in its incipient stages at Richmond
 And perhaps the most extraordinary
 thing in connection with the manifesto
 tions of feeling that have from time tc
 time been made there is that loca
 paper should have defended the actior
 of the offenders against decency.-Tht l Field.

Dorsey, q curator at the Field Column
bian museum; DR. George V. Bailey,
working osteologist at the museum, and
Dr. Howes, an articulator. Another
fragment or bone from the heap
where the furnace rakings were
dumped was identified as part Of a hui
man skull A badly mutilated bone from
the ehGsne room was identified positive
~ by DR.. Dorsey as part of human
thigh bone, and from the size of these
fragments the experts expressed the be-
ilef they were from the same individual
and that individual probably woman.
Luetgert's attorneys caused two en-
tire human bodies to be cooked in the
middle vat and parts of several others,
to see whether crude potash would de-
stroy them as the state claimed.
Corsetmakers identified the steels
round In the furnace ralkings as corset
steels, and from the 'bony fragments the
experts identified the head Of a human
rib, a second piece of thigh bone, and
a fragment Of human toe.
As to the Bones.
When the defense was begun a fight
was made over the identity of the bones.
Dr. Walter III. Airport declared the al
legged human thigh was a part Of a
hogs skeleton, and that the other bones
were not human. Neither DR.. Airport
nor the experts for the defense, who
were chiefly veterinarians, were able to
assign the bones to any animal with
the exception Of the thigh.
William Charles, Luetgert's closest
friend, positively stated he had helped
Luetgert dump four barrels of tallow
and bones in the vat on the night of
May 1 to make soap with, and other
witnesses confirmed the claim Of the
defense that Luetgert was making soap
on the night of May /.
Since Luetgert's arrest the claim has
been made that Mrs. Luetgert has ap-
peared in at least 100 different cities,
from Nebraska to New York city. Some
OF these were investigated, and in ev-
cry case but one the defense's assertion
was exploded. That was the defense's
claim that Mrs. Luetgert was seen at
Kenosha, and in the opinion of the state
1t was never shown Mrs. Luetgert was
there. AS many witnesses, and more
reputable ones, saw the strange woman
there and were sure she was not Mrs.
Luetgert.
In all,over 200 witnesses testified dur
Ing the eight weeks Of the trial. The
total cost is estimated at $4,000.
