A SICK JUROR
Causes the Adjournment Of the Luet.
CERT Case Till Wednesday-.-Experts
Still Giving Evidence.

Chicago, September 13.-Puff1ng at a
cigar and smiling in manner which
betokened contentment, Adolph Luet-
CERT this morning appeared before
Judge Tuthill to begin the fourth
week of his trial for alleged wife muir
der. The court proceedings begun
with the cross-examination of Prof.
George V. Bailey, and it was not long
before Attorney Vincent and the pro-
fessor were involved in dispute over
the use of a technical term which
called for the interference of the
court.
A small piece Of bone was handed
to the witness and he was asked to
name it. "That is sesamoid," prompt
ly asserted the professor.
"Has it ever been boiled?" queried
Attorney Vincent.
1T has"
Might not alkali water poured on a
bone produce the same effect?"
"It might in time 1t would cause
scaling and softness after a long
time"
Attorney Vincent cross-questioned
Prof. Bailey sharply on the poin. of
sesamoids, and wanted to know if the
witness could tell the difference be
Of
being and a similar bone of an ami
NAL.
The question seemed to worry the
witness, VINO was warm and nervous.
He admitted that a bruise or injury
might produce sesamoid and said
he had seen sesamoid bones on the
toes of animals.
The examination of Prof Bailey con-
tinued until 11:30 o'clock. The pro-
fessor startled Attorney Vincent by the
assertion that he had discovered six
sesamoid bones in a single hand while
a student in the University of Paris.
Attorney Vincent declared that sur
gical history contained no reference
to more than two sesamoids being
found upon hand or foot. Prof
Bailey replied he knew that fact and
had kept his discovery secret because
he was writing a book on the subject.
The witness refused to make a state
ment as to the probable original loca-
ton of sesamoid bones handed him
until he had an opportunity to exam &.
inc them. He was granted until to-
morrow morning.
At 11:30 O'Clock Juror John E. Fow-
Ter was taken suddenly ill again and
court adjourned until l o'clock D. m.
Juror Fowler is suffering from malaria
and fever.
Tomorrow Frank Bialk and Frank
Odarafsky will be recalled to establish
the motive for the alleged murder
They will, it is asserted, testify to hav-
ing seen Mary Siemering visit Luet-
CERT in the sausage factory at night.
Dr. Mcnamara, who examined Juror
Fowler, stated the latter was suffering
from chills and fever The physician
believed he could break the fever in
couple of days without Juror Fowler
being withdrawn from active duty. If
Juror Fowler becomes so ill that he
must retire from the jury, it would
mean re-trial of the entire case.
Juror Fowler, who is ill at the Le-
grande Hotel and a physician who ex-
amined him, claims he will not be able
to appear in court until Wednesday
morning. AS result Judge Tuthill
adjourned court this morning until
$50 O'Clock Wednesday.
A sensation was created this morn
ing in the court room by the rumor
that Drs. Airport and Rutherford, wit
nesses for the defense, were heard to
remark while examining the bones that
they were human. The medical men
deny this, however, and say they never
made the remark.
