that reaches beyond a reasonable doubt
that Mrs. Luetgert is dead?'' queried the
speaker. pointing a warning finger at the
jury. And II she is not dead. Luetgert
is an innocent man. We believe she still
lives. None of the Bicknese family knows
to-day whether Henry Bicknese is dead or
alive. He disappeared twenty-five years
ago. He is, or was. as the case may be,
brother of Mrs. Luetgert.'
Ex-Judge Vincent next paid his attention
to the police department. He criticised
Inspector Setback severely, and said the
North side police official had stopped to
unusual methods in this case to retain his
position in the police department. He
charged perjury, both on the part of the
police and other witnesses in the case and
lauded the testimony of the witnesses for
the defense who had supported the theory
that Luetgert had begun the making of
soap in his factory on the fatefu night of
May l. The experts OF the defense were
praised. and those of the prosecution ridi-
culed.
Ex-Judge Vincent is expected to speak
the entire day Tomorrow.
