Marietta, O., August 24.-William
Crago. the eleven-year-old murderer,
degenerate, who was yesterday SEN
fenced to the Reform Farm at Ian

from his home at Newport, and is now
in Jail in this city.
He is in good health and spirits and
has already become so attached to Con-
stable Parlin, who first arrested him,
that he cries violently when beng
separated from him.
In conversation the lad talks c"olIy

EVERY INCH
Of Ground in the Luetgert Murder
Trial StubbOrnly Contes tie d.
Prosecution Turns Trick.

Chicago, August 24.-The prosecution
turned a clever trick on the defense
to-day in the trial Of Adolph Luet-
CERT for the murder of his wife, by
practically acquiescing to the objec-
tions Of the defense to the drawing OF
a jury under the new jury commits
sion law. The objections, it was un-
derstood, were made by the defense
merely for the purpose of providing an
opportunity to take the case before
the Supreme Court on a writ Of error
should this trial go against Luetgert,
and the defense was evidently much
chagrined when Judge Tuthill sustain
ed the objections and ordered special
venire of one hundred men under the
old jury system law.
Luetgert, the defendant, recovered
his self possession to-day and smiled
and chatted pleasantly with his law
yers and his son Arnold, who was con-
stantly near him. When court was
called to order Attorney Phelan, for
the defense, got up and said: I'VE

in this remark and the spectators
leaned forward eagerly, but the law

-..Iy cOuHJ
States Attorney Deneen had no OBJ
lection to the putting of such mo-
ton.
"The motion is overruled," said the
court An exception was taken and
the plea of not guilty was again en-
tered.
The roll Of the veniremen summoned
to-day under the new jury law was
then called. but after it showed that
Sc of the 100 summoned were in court
Attorney Vincent, for the defense,
arose and objected TO them, assigning
twenty-eight reasons for his challenge,
raising the point of unconsituionality
among other things. His argument was
brief. Assistant States Attorney Nc
Evan replied to the motion Of the de-
fense. holding that the law was not
special legislation, as asserted, but
making no special objection TO the
drawing Of the jury under the old
common law.
When argument was concluded,
Judge Tuthiu said he did not desire
to place the prosecution in an embar-
RAISING position. He did not think
the State should be called upon to test
any new law in the trial Of such an
important case as this was aeknoNl-
edged to be. and this, more than the
reason assigned by the defense, moved
him to sustain the objections 10 the
contemplated method Of drawing the
iurv. He then issued an order for
snecial venire Of 100 men and the case
was adjourned until tomorrow.

Special 10 the Register,
Charleston, W. Va, August a. -
Jerry Brown, the negro convicted OF
outraging the person of Mrs. Ike Rad
ford, was hung this afternoon at Fay
etteville.
The condemned man spent { quiet
night. He lay down at nine o'clock
and slept soundly until $50 this morn
ing.
He was given a bath and partook OF
a hearty breakfast at 1880. He was
more or less nervous throughout the
day, but never broke down.
He repeatedly declared his innocence
and was certain OF his souls salvation.
At Il o'clock he was visited by men,
bers of the press and to them he de-
clared most emphatically his inro-
cense. He swore solemly that he had
never outraged the woman. As 20 his
plea of guilty made on his trial he
said he was told to do so by his attor-
new. who assured him that he would
get only a short Jail sentence. Brown
said he did not confess. He did not
say a word and his silence was taken
for a plea Of guilty.
He was very positive concerning the
bad character of Mrs. Radford. and
named a number Of persons with whom
she had had Illicit relations, among
them a prisoner in the Fayette Jaii
named Frank Penn.
Browns dinner was served at ll:4o
and he ate heartily. At l o'clock
number Of persons came into tho coun-
" iail and bade Brown good bye. Rev.
Mr. Light. Of the Methodist church.
and Rev. Mr.. Parker, Of the Presby-
terian church. came into the corridor
and gave the condemned man the con-
ISOLATION of religion. He was perfectly
resigned
Meanwhile the crowd on the outside
grew impatient at the delay and began
70 he boisterous. The execution was
TO have occurred at l o'clock, but the
sheriff awaited an hour for the arrival
Of Company B, National Guard, from
Bissell.
At 2:14 the procession to the scaf-
fold was formed. though the military
had not come. It was a drive OF half
q mile to the gallows, which was
reached at 2:39.
The prisoner ascended the steps
without faltering. The sheriff three
deputies. two ministers and newspaper
men were on the gallows.

freezing point. This rapidly draws the
heat from the water contained in the
can. The heat passes first TO the cir
culating brine and then to the coil,
with the result that the water slowly
congeals. AS soon as the can is frozen
it is picked up by crane, given a
quick bath in hot water, which meltS
the ice sufficiently to release the can,
and the ice is then ready for storage.
This system has been carried to great
perfection by the introduction of ma
chinery for recondensing the expanded
ammonia, so that it is used over and
over again. The chief difficulty with the
process, however, is its slowneSs. From
so to 60 hours are required to freeze a
can of the dimensions named. The
outside of the can freezes quickly
enough, but in order for the interior to
become CONCEALED, the heat it contains
must pass through the enveloping layer
of ice, and ice, it happens, is one of
the slowest heat conductors known.
The result is, curiously enough, that to
freeze the last inch on the outside of
the cake requires a comparatively long
while. The absorption system, so
called, is even less economical than
this. Here liquid ammonia is en-
plOyed instead of anhydrous, and this
is boiled. The resulting ammonia gas
is condensed, and this, after being run
through the expansion coils in the
freezing tanks, is led into the absorb
err" The latter is really a condenser,
not much different from that used in
the compression system, save that the
condensing is not effected by mechan-
ical means. OF the two systems, the
compression process is in more general
use. There are thousands of these ma
chimes over the country, making in
the aggregate a large quantity of ice.
But except in the south they cannot
compete, save under exceptional con-
ditions, with natural ice.
The new machine. devised by the
original inventor of the compression
system, though simple enough. is ex-
tremely ingenious. 1t consists. essen
TALLY, of a device for freezing ice on
the surface of a big hollow drum re-
volving in a bath of pure distilled wa
ter. In the interior of this hollow
drum the evaporating agent, ammonia,
or whatever may be employed, is in
troduced through a small orifice under
