More About Homes In the Luetgert
Case-Defendant on Clutches.

CHICAGO. September 16.-The day was
given over 10 expert testimony In the
Luetgert trial to-day, and the attorneys
for the defence and the witnesses for the
State wrangled vigorously regarding
femurs OF human beings, femurs OF sheep.
and of hogs. When court adjourned for
the day the fight was still on. and will
BE- resumed tomorrow morning.
When court opened to-day the defend
ant came in upon pair OF .crutches. He
said that he had a badly spraiued ankle,
the result Of a fall while sparring a
friendly bout with one Of the guards In
the Jail. The injury Is painful, and will
trouble him for some time
The principal witness for the day was
Professor Dorsey. OF the Field Columbian
Museum, who took the stand for cross
examination. Attorney Vincent, for the
defence. made IL his business 20 show
the jury that Professor Dorsey lid not
krow anything about bones, anyhow. and
that he was densely ignorant on the sub
iect Of femurs. Professor Dorsey fought
stoutly 10 show that he knew what he
was talking about when he said yesterday
that the bone shown him was the bone
Of a human being, and very probably
that of a female He made one correction,
however. and said that when he testified
yesterday that the femur was that OF the
leg, he had intended 20 say that II was

Before Professor Dorsey took the stand
DR.. Noryal Pierce who had ideptiiied
bone shown him as the left temporal bone
Of a female, w8s called 10 the stand. but
his crOss-examinati0n cid not last Tor any
length OF time. Then Attorney Vincent
announced that he was ready for the
cross-examinatlon OF Professor Dorsey.
The examination abounded in technical
terms and again and again the attorney
tried 10 make the witness say that he
thar homo In question
was the femur OF a human being. but the
witness stuck 10 his first assertion. Then
the attorney tried TO show that the femur
was that Of hog, and again the witress
defied him. The attorney lried the fcmur
Of a sheep, and again he was defeated.
Then he offered large collection OF
bones, and wanted the witness 10 state
from what animal they had come. The
Court took a hand In the proceedings al
this point. and announced thar there arc
enough bones in this case already. with
out bringing In LOT OF them that have
no connection with the case"

California has been most fittingly termed
the Italy of America" All the delicious
BALM the cloudless sky, and the rich YER
dure of the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basls in the sunshine Of her own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks Of tho Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritablo paradise Of
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such country is privilege, a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need of a more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing the continent,
inauguatod a series of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running through train Of Pullman
palace cars from New York to the Pacific
Coast and stopping at the principal points Of
interest on route. The great popularity of
these tours demonstrates the wisdom of the
movement.
