Chicago, September 2.-Hundreds of
eager spectators kept the bailiffs at Judge
Tuthill's court room busy when the
Luetgert murder trial was resumed today.
For time it was impossible for those
connected with the case to get in or out.
Before the court was called to order the
doors were locked and kept SO until the
crowd had been dispersed by the bailiffs.
1t was definitely announced today that
Luetgert would be witness in his own
defense. The big sausage maker said the
matter had been discussed between his
attorneys aud himself and when the time
should come he would take the witness
stand and tell the jury about his actions

over to the defense for cross-examination
and Attorney Vincent questioned him
first about his connection with the police
since the arrest of Luetgert. The witness
said an officer had been with him nearly
all the time. No money, he said, had
been given him and no position prom

| Point Against Him-Did Not Report
That His Wife Was Missing and Acted
Very Strangely.
Chicago, September 2.-The indifference
of Luetgert after his wife had disappeared
was the principal fact brought out against
him today. It was shown by the testi-
mony Of Police Captain Herman Schuet-
tier that Luetgert did not show any con-
Germ regarding his wife and never took
the trouble to ask the police whether they
had found any trace of her or not. On
one occasion he called at the police station
to protest against an article in a daily
paper saying that his wife had not died a
natural death. The police at this time
were dragging the river, poking into clay
holes and latrolling the lake shore in the
hope of finding some trace of the missing
woman but Luetgert after he had COM
planned of the paper left the station with
out even asking if the police had found
any trace of his wife. When the police
first became aware Of the disappearance of
Mrs. Luetgert through her brother, they
asked Luetgert what theory he had re-
garding her disappearance and he said
that in his opinion she had become insane
and wandered away from home. He had
not reported her going away either to the
police or his neighbors because he said
that it was a disgrace to have an insane
wife, and he did not want the people to
know anything about 1t. Capt. Schuettler
said that in all the work the police did
on the case before the arrest of Luetgert
they never received any help or suggestion
from the husband. Luetgert announced
that he had talked the matter over with
his attorneys and they had consented that
he should do SO. He said that he should
tell all about his actions on the night pre-
ceding the disappearance of his wife and
would convince the jury that he had done
nothing wrong.

CHOKED TO DEATH.
An Indiana Landowner Murdered
by Masked Robbers.

KENDALVILLE Qnd), Oct. 15.-
Last night near Brimfield, small
town near this city, Adam Huffman,
one of the largest land owners in
Northern Indiana, was murdered, and
a hired man may not recover.
About o'clock this morning two
masked men visited Huffman's house,
ostensibly to rob him, as he was
thought to have money in hiding. The
hired man, who was sleeping in an
upper room of the house, was first
bound and gagged. The robbers then
Went TO Huffman's room, covered him
with four guns, and ordered him to
give up his money. When Huffman
refused the men placed one end of a
rope around his neck, and the other
end was made fast to a bed. They
began terrible two hours torture by
pulling him until he would strangle.
This was continued until the robbers
saw that Huffman would not give up,
and they choked him to death and es-
capped. Bloodhounds have been placed
on their trial

CABINET MEETING.
Much of the Time Devoted to e
Discussion of Financial Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15-The Cabi-
net was in session two hours to-day.
Much of the time was devoted to a
discussion of the financial affairs of
the Government. This included both
receipts and expenditures. The latter
We're the special object of consideration,
as it IS the wish of the Administration
to keep the expenditures from exceed
ing the receipts.
The heads of departments have been
engaged for some time upon the esti-
mates Of their departments, and efforts
are being made to have reductions
made wherever possible. In both the
War and Navy Departments there is
pressure for larger expenditures for
coast defenSes, river and harbors and
for an increase of the navy The rec
concentrations of bureau officers in
these departments have been scanned
very closely, and reductions will be
made if found compatible with the pub
Tic interest. In the other departments
there is no urgent demand for in
creases.
Various other departmental matters
We're brought before the Cabinet, and
several members remained after the
meeting to consider them with the
President.
