LUEreE Rrs DEFENCE BEGINS.
Admits That ne Used Potash ana Bones in
His Sausage Vat.

MS sausage Vat
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-ES.Judge w. A. Vincent
settled all theories as to what tho defence In
the Luetgert murder trial would be by putting
the matter clearly to-day before the jury in an
address lasting during the entire forenoon and
part of the afternoon. He began by declaring
that he would be satisfied to allow the jury to
take the case without making any further fight,
but Luetgert. he said. would not consent to
this, wishing his side OF the remarkable story
put before not only the court but the people at
largo.
1t was admitted that Bialk and Odorofski,
employees Of the sausage maker. had told the
truth in detail under the interrogat ons OF Mr..
McEwen and Mr.. Deneen.
The presence Of the potash in the vat, the
bones mixed with the sediment, were the re-
suit, the attorney said. OF Luetgert's attempt to
mako soft sosp on the night Of May l. He
dwelt long on the open manner In which all
preparations were made.
And the rings" said Mr.. Vincent, I'VE will
prove, beyond q doubt were not those worn by
Mrs. LuetKert."
Luetgsrt he said. had good grounds for
unbridled press, which had condemned him in
advance, ,and.his wife's mental condition. which
had lost him a wife and sent him to the feion's
followed his loss OF business and property.
Mr.. Vincent said he firmly believed that Mrs.

EX.Judge James A. Goodrich and his part
nor. Ralph 4; Bradley. Luetgert's business at
torneys, testified that Luetgert told them two
days after his wife's disappearance that she
had left home, and that he thought she was
with relatives in or near Chicago. He hated
TO report her absence to the police. as he felt that
publication would be a disgrace. They ad.
yised him not to do 1t at the time, as 1t would
inJure his chances OF raising money to settle his
business troubles.
Adolph Elandt, a former employee OF tho
Luetgert: family, testified that he rolled two
barrels OF grease :and one filled with bones,
mostly chopped up, into the basement on May
/, and left them by the vat, acting under Luet.
gerts orders. He saw the potash solution in
the vat. On Monday the barrels and vat were
empty. The inference was that Luetgert was
at soap making that night.
Elandt said that Mrs. Luetgert had told him
several times during that weck. that she in
tended leaving home, a. the business was
ruined and she could not bear to have people
pointing at her as n bankrupts wife.
Rosa Gneith. u years old. said that she was
with Emma Schimpkc the night Of May |; that
they did not see luctgert and his wife enter the
factory that night, and that Emma had ad-
mitted to her in the hearing OF others, unseen
by Emma, that she had sworn falsely. She
urged Rosa to swear as she did.

Senator Ellsworth of New York, has
introduced bill in the legislature of
that State to make it criminal offence
to publish the picture of any citizen
without his or her consent. It is like
ly to lead to legislation that will,
without interfering with the reasonable
liberty of the press, protect private
life from the coarse invasion to which
it has been subjected for some years
past by newspapers of the sensational
variety. The fundamental thing to be
borne in mind, in reasoning upon Sen
ator Ellsworth's bill, is that there are
rights ofiprivacy as we'll as rights of
the public .and that the press, to be
in proper relation to the commun-
ity, must respect both.
