Juneau merchants have sent up stock

amount of lumber has gone up, so that a
few shacks can be erected.
Quite Il number have turned back with

THE LUETGERT MURDER.
The Question of the CORPUS Delicti,
Under Discnssian

chicago, Sept. G.-An important confer
ence was held today between the states
attorneys and the experts in the Luetgert
murder case.
The vital question of the"corpus delicti''
was under discussion.
Z, IL the state can prove conclusively the
corpus delicti"-can show that portions
OF the body of a human being were taken
from the fatal vat and the ashes from
the furnace-it will have case of
remarkable strength. The conference
lasted for several hours. The great point
Is the identification as human of the
bones found near the clubhouse where
Frank Orofsky said he dumped the res
ldue of the vat and the bones found in
the ashes from the furnaces. None of
the parties of the conference would tell
definitely of the results.
1t can be stated" said States Attor-
neyI Deneen and assistant attorney
NJ Even. that the state has found that
II can produce convincing proof of the
corpus delecti.' Further than that it
would be unwise to state at the present
time"
1t is predicted that the fierce legal bat
tie of the trial will come when police in
spector Shack. who has been very active
IN ferreting out the mystery surrounding
Mrs. Luetgert's disappearance. takes the
stand. should it finally be decided to call
him ms a witness. 1t is at the door of the
north side inspector that Adolph Luet-
CERT lays his personal troubles. The ac-
cused sausage maker is extremely bitter
against Shack and his attorneys have
tried to bring out evidence to show that
witnesses have been coached and that
even money has been used by the police
in fixing testimony" Efforts were made
to show tine police methods in the in
stance of Miss Schlimpke by trying to
draw from her that the agreement with
the police matron was merely a scheme
to keep the girl under police control.
This, taken with the bitter personal
feeling which attorney Vincent is said to
harbor against Inspector Shack, would
likely make the court room scene that
would follow the introduction of Shack as
Il witness, one of the most exciting fea-
lures of the trial.
In fact it has been learned that the
defense has planned to make this strong
feature of its side of the case. Attorney
Vincent has. it is said, some twenty-five
witnesses who will be put on the stand
for the purpose of impeaching the testi-
mOny of the inspector.

law in the case, gentlemen, is perfectly

law in the case, gentlemen, is perfectly
plain.
"The law fixes the status of the men
who participated in that mob. You must
look to the facts surrounding the killing
of Jones, and the law here given you
in determining what action You shall
take; look to these alone. Will Jones
has passed beyond the pale of earthly
punishment. His guilt or innocence of
the murder of Riley Stewart is not a
subject for your consideration in deter
mining the guilt of the mob. Ii Will
Jones was concerned in the death of
Riley Stewart he was guilty of murder.
but the men who snot Will Jones in the
Tyler jail are also guilty of murder.
they have violated and trodden under
foot the most sacred provisions of the
constitution of our state.
Il tell you, gentlemen, il is time to
cafl halt In these things. i shall make
no apology for what have said. | shall
set nay face resolutely against mob law
lessness and shall exhaust every rre-
rogative of my official station to prevent
and punish it. | declare to you that so.
long as am judge in this district no
body of men. however influential or pow
erful, shall be permitted to clutch the
duly constituted agencies of organized
government by the throat and hold It at
bay. The verdicts of the mob never
mean punishment-they mean vengeance.
They are the expressions of anarchy and
revolt against law. They are shameless
and brutal assaults on civilization itself.
Don't tell me that court house trials are
uncertain. The remedy is not in mob
bling the prisoner. but in casting out the
cowardly and corrupt juror who will not
enforce the law. An unhealthy public
sentiment will turn loose one criminal
and sometimes the men who help to Sc
cure that acquttal will make that mis-
carriage of justice an excuse for lynch
ing some less fortunate offender.
Gentlemen. MS bold as this outrage
was, it is being openly asserted that
there will not be any indictments found
by this grand jury. This is necessarily
an attack on the truthfulness of the wit
nesses or the integrity of the grand jury:
| tell you that If the witnesses do not
tell YOU the truth indict them for per-
Jury. and if the witnesses tell you the
truth. an indictment for murder will OBJ
viously be the result of conscientious
discharge of duty by you. IT, in the in
vestigatiOn of this crime, you discover
that there has been any neglect of
official duty by any officer in this county
boldly and courageOusly say so: shield no
man, tell the truth always. Let justice
be done though the heavens fall. 1t will
require some nerve to do your duty IN
this matter. 1t is said that the de-
PENDANTS are men of standing and infiu-
ence, but | call upon you to acquit your
selves like men, When you feel that
you are right, gaze bravely on the storm
clouds and, like Ajax of old defy the
lightnings of popular disapproval.'

LABOR CONVENTIONS.
Efforts to be Made to End the Big
Coal Strike.

Pittsburg. Sept. 6.-Labor day was
not observed generally in Pittsburg, and
but few workmcn laid off to celebrate the
day.
The district convention to elect dele
gates to the national convention prom
Uses to be the largest and most important
ever held in this city. Meetings have
been held throughout the district today
to elect delegates to this convention. In
most every case the delegates to the dis
trict conventions have been instructed to
elect representatives to the national con-
venton who will fight for the maximum
rate go cents, but it is believed the
leaders will convince the delegates who
will attend the Columbus convention that
the only thing left for the miners is to
accept the 90 cent compromise for the
present and at the December conference
insist on higher rate for the next year.
District President Dolan said tonight:
"What good is Il man in n conference If
he is loaded down with instructions! L
am satisfied if honest men are sent to
the convention they will act for the
best"
Mr.. Doan said proposition will be
made to the miners to maintain camps
at mines where the district prices are
not paid. He said every effort would
be made to make the convention at
Columbus uniform throughout the dis
trict The Pittsburg district is entitled
to in the neighborhoOd of fifty delegates,
but not near this number will have the
means to attend. Those who do go, it
is expected, will go into line for the To
cent rate, and it is hoped all the miners
except those of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company will be at
work at what is to be considered the
union rate. The acceptance of the rate
will put an end to the strike.
