THE TRIAL.
Three Witnesses for the State Examined.
Testimony as to Placing Caustic Potash
in the Vats and Smoke Seen On Night Of
the Murder

Chicago, August 31.-Three witnesses
were placed on the stand by the prose-
cution in the Luetgert trial today.
Probably the most important witness of
the three was Frank Bialk, night
Waterman at the Luetgert sausage a C
tory. Bialk, who is a German, "a years
old, was a trusted employe of the de-
PENDANT for whom he worked several
years. His testimony bore directly on
the movements Of the defendant during
the night Of May 1st. He also related
how two barrels, which, it is alleged,
contained caustic potash, were stored
on one of the upper floors of the fac
tory and were shortly before May LIST
taken to the basement where the bar
rels were emptied in the va and dis
solved by steam.
The other witnesses were harles P.
Melander, a photographer, who iden-
titled several views Of the Luetgert
factory, and Mrs. Agatha Tosch, the
wife of a saloon keeper. Mrs. TOsch was
frequently in charge of her husbands
saloon and had several conversations
with Luetgert regarding the disappear
ance of his wife. She has been regard

nesses, being one Of the few who saw
smoke issuing from the factory the
night Mrs. Luertgert disappeared. She
swore hat Luetgert had urged her not
to say anything about the smoke, as it
might get him into trouble. The wit
ness detailed how Luetgert had recit-
ed his domestic unhappiness and had
told her of the contempt with which he
a regarded his wife. He had, she
said, told her that his feelings against
his wife were so bitter that he could
crush her. The witness also told of
how pale Luetgert was on May End and
on n occasion had told her hat he
felt like killing himself n would do
so if it were not for leaving his little
children.
Before the taking Of testimony began
today the attorneys for the defence
asked the court to compel the state to
set forth by what means, according to
the theory of the prosecution, the life
of Mrs. Luetgert was taken before her
body was placed in the vat. The in
dictment contained twelve counts, but
did not state the manner Of Mrs.
Leutgert's death. The court decided
that the state was not bound to speci-
fly the means of death.
Waterman Bialk will resume the
witness stand tomorrow.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY,
An Lady Takes Her Own Life by
q Dose of Morphine at a Chicago Hotel

Chicago, August 31.-A handsome
young woman whose name is unknown
killed herself this morning in the Vic
suicide was evidently carried out with
the utmost deliberation, as the young
woman had evidently slept in the bed
during the night, taken a bath in the
morning, made up the bed, and then
swallowed morphine and lay down to
die.
At 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon she
entered the hotel and informed the
clerk hat she was on a long journey
and wished tc remain in Chicago for
a day for the purpose of resting. She
paid for her room in advance as she
had no baggage and registered as Miss
Blanche Wilson, New York city. She
requested that if h failed to rise ear
ly in the morning she be allowed to
sleep as she was very tired. She was
shown to her room and that was the
last seer of her alive. After repeated
k~nockings had failed to arouse her, the
room was forced and she was found
dead on the bed. She was clad only in
a night robe. A via which had con-
tanned morphine was Of the bed and
upon a chair was her clothing folded
neatly. The dress and linen were of
expensive materials. Sealed in an en-
velope which bore no address, a note
was found on the table. 1t read:
ITO Whom 1t May Be:
please do not try to find out who l
am, I ask and beg of you, whoever you
may be, and, remember, it is my last
favor 1 ask on earth, as a dying wo-
man. And for my mothers sake do
not try. I don't care what you do with
my body. Remember. please, don't try,
for my mothers sake"
There was no signature to the note.
1t was penned in a small feminine hand
and the formation of the letters indi-
Gated that the hand which held the
pen was trembling. The bed had evil
IDENTIFY been made up hurriedly after
being slept in and the oma had
taken a bath and dressed her hair care
fully before taking the poison. On her
finger was a plain gold band and on
the inside vas engraved "A. NJ. E."
In a bundle of four collars two were
marked Il. H. G." one "A. D. A and
one IL. NJ" A collar which she had
been wearing was marked similarly 20

A CHANGE OF TACTICS
70 be Made in the strikers Campaign.
False Rumors Of the Strike Being Settled.
Discharged &c Contempt Procee iings

Columbus. Ohio. August 31.-The coal
strike is considered settled here. The
plan is to resume at 81 cents and work
pending arbitration. The direct par
ties in this conference OF adjustment
are President R~atchford. of the United
Mine Workers and the executive COM
mittee Of the operators. A number of
the latter Were in the city today and
the result is that n decision may be
looked for almost at any moment. The
direct effect of this decision will be
the opening of the mines and the re-
sumption of work by all the striking
miners the beginning of the coming
week.
Pittsburg, August 3I.-At the Monon-
gahela house, the headquarters OF the
operators in this city, the news of the
expected settlement of the miners
strike was at first received with in
credulity. 1t was an unlookd for thing
and not one of the operators present
could believe the report until confirma-
tive news was obtained from Cleveland.
In answer to a telegram this even
ing, National President Ratchford tel
egraphed The Post from St. Louis. say
ing: Information from in
correct"
A new plan of compaign is now be-
ing formulated. What the proposed
changes are could not be learned but
from a reliable source is given the fact
that the entire situation will be
changed in this district before the close
of the week. The camps at the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
pany's plant will be continued. Nation
al Organizer Cameron Miller, who with
District Secretary Warner has assume
charge of the strike during President
Dolan's absence, said this morning that
the situation throughout the entire dis
trict looked very favorable today. He
has arranged for a number of meet
ings in the district. These will be held
before the contemplated change in the
campaign is put into effect.

Occurs on the Streets of Paris Shortly Afte,
President Faure Passes Along on His Re.
turn from Russia
Paris, August 31.-President Faure
arrived at the northern railroad sta
tion, from Dunkirk, at 6 o'clock this
evening. He was received there by the
president of the chamber Of deputies,
M. Brisson; the president Of the SEN
ate, NJ. Loubet; the general in COM
mand of the Paris garrison and his
staff, and municipal councillors. After
listening to short speeches OF welcome,
the president entered a landau and pro-
ceeded to the Elysee palace. Enormous
crowds Of people lined the route and
the president was warmly acclaimed.
All the balconies were filled with spec
tators and the waving of handkerchiefs
and flags was to be seen on all sides.
Ten minutes after the president had
passed the Madeleine, a bomb was ex-
ploded inside the ratings around the
church. Two arrests followed imme-
diately and the rallied enclosure was
closed by the police who began an ac-
tive investigation into the outrage.
Nobody was injured by the explosion,
but the affair, following so closely upon
Others of a similar nature, caused the
greatest excitement. The persons in
side the ratings of the Madeleine were
infinitely examined by the police be-
fore they were allowed to leave. The
fragments Of the bomb found by the
police resemble those exploded in the
Bois de Boulogne On June 18th last and
on the place de la Concorde on June
18th last. 1t consisted Of IN iron tube
filled with an explosive and loaded with
mails.
At the prefecture of police the bomb
explosion is not attributed to anar-
chists. but it is rather believed to be
the work of the lunatic who was re
sponsible for previous similar affairs.
1t is believed that the men arrested for
complicity in the explosion today are
innocent, and all of them have been re-
leased.
