THE GIRL
ried Away by Special To summer
Resort While Her Lover Is Being
Buried.

For Whom Preston Thornton Died Car
ried Away by n Special To a summer
Buried.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 19.-While
Preston Thornton, the self-slayer, was

whom he killed himself was speeding
away to Hot Springs, Va, on special
train provided by her father, Presi-
dent Milton II. Smith, of the L. & N
Railroad Co.
The funeral brought together one OF
the most distinguished gatherings
ever witnessed in Kentucky. The res
idence of his aunt, Mrs. John Mason
Young, where the services were
held, is mansion in Louisville's
most arristocratic quarter. The house
and lawn were crowded. Most of the
attendants were visitors from outside
the city, and numbered members of
the Hardin, Preston, Wickliffe, Brown,
Breckenridge and Thornton families,
and having an ancestry associated
with Kentucky's written history.
At the head of the casket the aged
father of the deceased stood. His
grief was freshened by having learned
that his son had killed himself and
had not been the victim of the acct
dent. When Rev. DR.. Minnegerode
referred to suicide the elder Thornton
gasped. The preacher was bewildered
and. hesitated. There was confusion
and the speaker lifted his voice until
silence among his hearers was again
secured.
The grandmother of young Thorn
ton did not attend the funeral She

ton, and has not yet been told that
her only grandson is dead. President
Smith, of the l.. and N, was present,
hut displayed no emotion.

NEW TURN

Charges Brought Against Setback.

Taken in the Luetrgert Case-Serioui
Charges Brought Against Setback.
CHICAGO, May 2O.-The attorney ano
relatives of Adolph Luettgert, charged
with numbering his wife, are charging
Inspector Setback with manufacture
ing evidence against the prisoner.
Luis Leuttgert, the 12-year-old SOL
of the missing woman, declares
that the rings in the possession OF
Chief Setback and which it is asserted
were found in the vat in which the
theory is Mrs Luettgert's body was
disintegrated, were not the property
of his mother. The boy says that
Setback tried for hours to bulldoze
him into an Identification of the rings.
W. A. Vincent Luettgert's lawyer,
SAYS that Setback had the rings made
for the purpose of fastening the MUIR
der on the sausage maker.

the alleged human bones which the po-
lice claim to have found in Luettgerts
factory, as well as the chemical mix
ture with which Setback says Luett'
CERT destroyed his wife's body in two
hours. said last evening that it would
require at least two days to make way
with the flesh of an adult human body
with the most powerful chemicals
known to his procession.
A most grewsome discovery was
made Wednesday morning when the
large vat adjoining the one in which
the GOLD ring was found was over
turned. Under this vat was found a
large piece of wrapping paper, clothed
with blood, as well as number of
particles of bone and flesh. The most
startling find, however, was bunch
of light brown hair, which, it is
claimed. is in every respect like that
of Mrs. Luettgert. The bloody i'm
print of mans hand was also found
on the factory door.

into vat filed with powerful acid,
for the supposed purpose of destroying
evidence of the alleged crime, was ar
raigned ia police court Tuesday morn

next Saturday. a writ OF habeas cor

The solution of the mystery as a
murder was reached only after careful
and conscientious work on the part of
the officials
Mrs. Luettgert disappeared from her
home the night of May L. She was last
seen alone by her husband and Mrs
Amelia Kaiser, a neighbor. This was
at 10 o'clock in the evening. She was
IN good spirits and there appeared to
be no indication that she contemula ted
suicide.
She dropped completely out of sight
that night, but the husband failed to
report the matter to the police until
May7.
1t was given out that she had prob
ably committed suicide on account of
the failure of her husbands business.
But the officers became suspicious
They made a careful search of the
sausage factory, which is at Diversey
street and the Chicago & Northwes tern
tracks. In the boiler room they found
the piece of corset steel and the torn
pieces of dress.
Mrs. Wilhelmena Mueller, 15S Cleve-
land avenue, sister of Mrs Luettgert,

Guarrels which had taken place be-
tween the pair.
1t is said there was a quarrel the
night Mrs. Luettgert disappeared. The
details of this are not known. This
and other circumsta evidence is
what led to the arrest.
Inspector Setback thinks that after
they were left alone that evening
