CHICAGO, oct. 25.-There Is n possl-
bllity that the second trial of Adolph
i. Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer,
will begin this week. States Attorney
Deneen said to-day that unless the de-
fense asked for continuance and still
persisted in their demand for the re-
lease Of the prisoner on bail. he would
put the case on the trial call for We'd
nesday. The states attorney does not
know what Judge will be selected to
hear tho second trial. Judge Horton
has been suggested and the case may
come up before him. THE second trial
will not be 50 long as the recent trial
was" said States Attorney Doneen.
I'VE know the defense now. We are al
so better prepared with our own evil
dence and there Is much OF II that was
submitted during the trial Just ended
that will be omitted on the new trial,
We have considerable important new
evidence which we will introduce But
now that we know the situation thor
oughly the progress OF the new trial
viii be more rapid, but none the less In
teresting than the first trial. We shall
not consent TO bail, and II the defense
will not ask for n continuance the trial
will proceed us Indicated"
State's Attorney Deneen will insist
that something be done in the Luet-
gert case this week, He does not In
tend 90 permit the defense to spring
upon him The technical assertion that
Luotgert has been in jail four terms Of
court without n trial and Is therefore
entitled 10 his discharge. With the close
or the present week four full terms of
the criminal court shall have elapsed
since Luctgert was indicted. hs the case

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct, 25,-The Sun
states that semi-annual payments OF
interests on securities of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad which are due on No
vember /. have been decided upon by
the receivers. There viii be default
on three payments due on that date.
Th securities upon which payment OF
interest will not be made are:
First mortgage five per cent bonds Of
the Baltimore Belt railroad.
First mortgage per cent bonds OF
The Akron & Chicago Junction railroad,
Five per cent bonds Of the Newark,
Somerset and slatesville railroad.
The securities upon which interest

bonds, series s. flrst mortgage per
cent bonds Of the Confluence & Oak
land railroad; first mortgage 6 per

II is explained that the default on the
Belt railroad mortgage Is due to the

receipts from only two months opera
tlons to pay six months interest. The
receivers took charge In March, 1895.
and the money was advanced to pay the

only the receipts from the operations OF
the property are nov available for In
