LEUTG ERT's CASE AT CHICAGO.
Inspector Sch aack's arbitrary Conduct
for tae Prosecution.


for tae rosecntton.
CHICAGO, ILL, May 19.-If Inspector
Setback fails to make out case against
Adolph Leutgert, whom he charges with
numbering his wife, he is likely to meet
with serious trouble.
Tomorrow Lawyer Vincent will prefer
charges against Setback and Chief Keplev
will be asked to dismiss him on the ground
that he has violated the statutes in re-
fusing to allow Vincent to see his client
Another affair for the inspector to lace
is the habeas corpus proceedings in the
Superior Court. Judge Hutchinson's 8
order to produce the prisoner was not
complied with.
Hutchinson entered an order continu-
ing the case until tom orrow, and direct
ing Shaack to show why the order had not
been obeyed. This may place the inspec-
tor in contempt of court
To-day Leutgert's sausage factory was
scare he'd thoroughly, but little was found
that could be considered of Importance as
evi dence. 1t will be no surprise to many
of the prosecution should make failure
in its efforts to convict the prisoner.

Christmas holidays caused stagnation in
business. In cotton goods, there is still
more trading in the goods which had been
