BONES OF A WOMAN.
Those in Evidence in the Luetger1
Trial are so Identified by Experts.

Chicago, Sept. 16-Adolph Luetgert
limped into the court room today lean
ing heavily upon crutch The pris-
oner in tramping the jail corridor had
slipped, and SO severely sprafned his
leg that walking was very painful.
The trial was not resumed until con-
siderably later than usual Despite the
injury, the accused sausage maker APP
peared to be in good spirits and chatted
pleasantly with his son Arnold.
Prof. George Dorsey of the Field Co
lumbar museum was recalled to the
witness stand to make a correction in
the startling testimony he gave yes
terday. Prof. Dorsey said that yester
day he had said that the female bone
which he had identified was from the
left leg. He desired to correct this. The
bone, the professor said, was from the
right leg. The witness explained that
when he first examined the bone he
was under the impression that it came
from the left leg. He said during the
time he was on the witness stand he
forgot the latter discovery and said left
side when he meant right side.
Attorney Vincent announced that he
would require an entire day to cross
examine Prof. Dorsey. But first he de-
sired to briefly cross examine DR.. Nor
val Pierce, who had identified piece of
bone as the left temporal bone of
female skull.
Then the cross examination of Prof.
Dorsey began. Attorney Vincent tried
in vain for over an hour to break the
force of the professors identification of
the femur questioning him sharply as
to the difference between the femur of
a male and female. Prof Dorsey calm
ly explained with the aid of the bone
in evidence. The prosecution expects to
rest its case Saturday afternoon.
One of the bones found in the sau--
sage factory had been shown Professor
Dorsey. and in the most positive man
ner, and without a particle OF heslta-
ton he pronounced it to be the upper
portion of the left thigh bone of a wo-
man. He said that the formation of
the upper end of the bone proved with
out any question that it was the femur
of a woman. The bone had the appear
ance of having been burned, and AS
sistant States Attorney McEwan put
the question to the witness.
Gould a solution of caustic potash
have produced the burned affect you
have pointed out the bone?"
The reply of the witness was emphat-
ic and immediate:
I'm my judgment it could
Prof Dorsey also identified a bone
shown him as the left temporal bone of
a woman. Prof Norval H. Pierce1den-
titled the bones in a manner similar to
Prof Dorsey.

ARMED WITH ROLLINGPINS
Wives of the Hazlaton Strikers Drive
Out 500 Men.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 1.-two hundred
and fifty women made more trouble
this morning than the 10000 striking
miners have caused since last Fridays
shooting.
They were the foreign women of the
McAdoo and Audenreid district. Armed
with clubs, rolling pins, pokers and any
weapons they could find, they invaded
the Washeries which have hitherto been
working, and forced the men, about 300
in number to quit work. As the men
We're husbands sons or brothers of the
women in most instances they made no
resistance, although this is the first
successful movement to get them out.
In every other part of the region quiet
prevailed. The strike may now be said
to be general, as there is not a coIliery
of Importance in operation.
Philadelphia, Sept ia special to
the Record from Hazleton says:
Originating as it did in the petty dis
agreement between the Lehigh and
Willxesbarre company mule drivers and
their employees, and having spread un-
most OF the principal operators of the
middle coal fields, this strike has been
one of the most peculiar ever inauSu-
rated in the region.
The miners have no organization. In
many instances they do not know eX-
actly for what they struck, except that
they felt that they had been unfairly
treated and that they want more pay
In 30 per cent of the idle golfers they
are at loss to say how much they
want and in such cases they have quit
work without even asking for an IN
crease.
