EXPERTS MAKING IT UNPLEAS-

Say Fragments Found Belong to d F'e-
male-State to Rest Case
Soon.

Chicago, Sept. 16.- The most posi-
tive and startling testimony offered in
the Luetgert case for two weeks was
Brought out during the afternoon ses-
sion OF court yesterday. Prot. George
q. Dorsey of the Field Columbian mu-
scum positively identified the bone
handed to him by Assistant States Al
torney McEWen as the upper portion
of the left ear. The bone is undoubt-
edly that Of a female" said Prof Dor
sey. This bone has the appearance

piled the witness. This evidence pro-
duCed q sensation in the court room.
Dorsey is a well known psychologist.
He has travelled in India, South Amer
lea and Alaska in the interest OF the
Field Columbian museum. The pros
ecution reserved it's cross-examination
until today
Prof. Dorsey also identified another
piece of bone as the left temporal bone
of female. He said the size and
shape of the bone led him to this con-
clusion. This bone also bore evil
dences of having been scared by fire
DR.. Noval P. Pierce identified one bone
previously shown to Dorsey as the
left temporal bone of female and it
was his opinion that caustic potash
might have produced the scared and
brittle condition of it. Attorney Vim
cent for the defense asked leave to
have the bones produced examined by
experts and said he would not cross
examine DR.. Pierce until today. His
request was granted.
Luetgert picked up both the pieces
Of bones which are said to have beer

ACCUSES JACOB KESSNER
CHICAGO ALDERMAN TELLS WHO
TRIED TO BRIDE HIM.

Chicago, Sept. 21.- Alderman Will
liam Mangler of the twenty-second
ward, who some months since created
a sensation by the declaration that an
effort had been made to purchase his
vote on the street car franchise for
$4,000, has told his story to the grand
jury. He charges Jacob Kessner, man
aser of a large department store, with
attempting to buy his vote. When he
first made this assertion he was called
before the grand jury then sitting and
asked for the name of the man who
attempted to bride him. He refused to
dlvulge the name and after the grand
jury had cited him for contempt he
was ordered by the court to pay 81, 900
and go to Jail for three months if he
still declined to answer the questions
of the jury. The case was appealed
and is still pending. Yesterday
Mangler declared that he
would tell his story and after he left
the grand jury room he said: Il told
them that it was Jacob Kessner who
attempted to bride me to vote for the
franchise. l told the jury that he
first offered me $1,000 then $1,000 and
finally called me up by telephone and
offered me $4,000. I rung him off
and did not talk with him" The al
derman said that he had changed his
mind about talking to the jury when
his children came home from school
and asked him when he was going
to Jail, as the other children had said
he would have to. Il couldn't stand
| that and l gave up" he concluded.
