MARY BADLY
Luetgert's servant ON the Witness
Stand

hAuN =
stand.
Chicago. Sept. 81. - The strongest
witness for the defense who has yet
appeared in the Luetgert trial was
Mary Siemmering. the domestic IN the
Luetgert household, for love of whom
it Is charged by the state that the
prisoner murdered his wife. There
was no installing the feeling OF the
girl toward Luetgert. She was there
to do him all the good in her power,
and she stood by him stoutly. She
had made statements before the grand
Jury and to the states attorney be-
fore the trial began, and when her as
Sertions on the stand differed from the
statements she is said to n made at
that time, she had not the slightest
hesitation in repudiating anything
that she might have said when not
under oath. The states attorney sub
jected her to a rigid cross-examinatiOn,
and succeeded at times in confusing
her, but she was game and full or
nerve to the last. She contradicted
herself several times, but was quick to
catch herself, and the last statements
that she made in any part OF her testi-
mony was always in favor of the pris-
oncr. She denied in the most positive
manner that she had been n disturb
ing element between Luetgert and his
wife. and said that neither by night or
by day, alone or in company, had she
ever visited Luetgcrt in his factory or
elsewhere IN an improper manner. She
insisted that the prisoner had always
been good / his wife. and that, I'm her
opirion. the latter was out OF her
mind, and had been so for some time
prior to her disappearance. Her cross
examination was not concluded.

miles UP Uagava river and reached
Fort Chino. The expedition reports
unfavorably upon the commercial

want of lighthouses, and the country
being bleak and barren with no COM

II NAV reasonably be inferred thAt
the Dingley bill will receive more demo

traced Enthusiastically TO the wilson law
which gave special protection 10 some
large interests. and was not above
guarding the collar and cuff industry OF
Troy TO ob!ige one Of New York's sena-
tors. No surprise need be felt TO md
that the breach on this subject in the
democratic party Is widening. for
surprisingly heavy deficit has been
added to the arguments and motives
that prevented the democrats from
adopting free trade policy when the
opportunity was open.
The triendless Wilson law found no
defenders even when Representative
nues from the treasury. wasting the re-
sources of the government, stealing
away the earnings of American labor
and taking from American farms the
market places Of the United States and
OF the world" II the democrats were
not a unit for the passage OF this DIS
astrous law. their present condition on
the subject may be imagined. or it can
be Judged from the manifestations OF
the last few days in congress. As the
debate proceeded, il it can be called de-
bate. where the opposition is composed
OF factions arrayed against each other,
the crumbling Of free trade assumption
will be its main feature. The Dingley
bill will receive support greater than
the entire strength of the republican
party in congress. and its passage vii
