gert's innocence. The document in full
is as follows:
ITO the Public: The result of my
trial, ending to-day, is victory for me,
because of the disagreement of the
jury; but / am very much disappointed
and very much surprised that the jury
did not bring in a verdict of not guilty
II did not kill my wife, and do not
know where she is, but am sure it is
only question of time until she comes
home.
'I did not go on the witness stand
because my lawyer, Judge Vincent, was
bitterly opposed to my doing so, and
because he advised me it was not nee
essary.
'I am grateful for the tremendous
change in public sentiment in my fa-
vor, and time will demonstrate that
am not only innocent, but a grievously
wronged man.

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-William Charles,
Luetgert's business partner, said to-
day;
For over an hour yesterday I dis
cussed ways and means with Luetgert
for a new trial. Sentiment has changed
in the neighborhood of Leutgert's home.
People who We're against him are now
inclined to believe him innocent. They
reason that if a jury, after hearing all
the evidence, cannot agree, people who
hear only one side of the story should
not be too an xious to condemn a man.
Members of the German Baptist
Church in Lakeview, where Luetgert' s
children attend Sunday school, have
expressed to me the belief within the
past twenty-four hours that Luetgert
is an innocent and prosecuted man, and
they are willing to contribute to a fund
to pay the expenses of a second trial -
