1Teetimony for Prosecution in the;
49,. Luetsert Case About All In.
Chicago, Sept. 13.-All the expert evil
dence for the state is now practically
submitted in the Luetgert murder trial,
on which the proof of the corpus de-
icti rests. .-4
George Vincent Bailey, of the Field
Columbian museum, and II. A. Howes,
of the Chicago college of dental surgery,
have both positively identified bones
found III the middle vat and in the
ashes taken from under the boiler
furnaces as those of human body.
But q short session was held Satur-
day.: court adjourning before noon.
Of Mr.Bailey was first
| ia kenNup. Mr. McEwen recalled the
Identification Of the sesamoid bone as
human.sandtook up.thegnext bit of evil
dence, called Exhibit No. 13A.'
II think it is portion of the head of
the ssecond metacarpal in the hand of q
human" said Mr.. Bailey.
/ The next bone identified was a por-
3tion. of the head of the third rib of
human being. In size it was said by the
witness to be from small body, not as
large as an average man.
OF the next bone presented to him, Mr..
Bailey said: II think that this bone is
the second phalanx of the fourth toe
on the right foot Ola very small human
being" -'"s'
The next exhibit, marked mo. 10 d.
was piece of bone found in the ashes
from the furnace, which had been
dumped in front of Luetgert's resi-
dence. It was identified as a part of
the upper end of the humerus. This
he explained was the part of bone in
the forearm that connected with the
shoulder blade. Tho bone, he said, was
from 2 small person. %.
The direct examina tion of Robert A.
Howes was at once taken up. He made
the following replies as to the identity
of the bones shown him.: THAT bone
is the sesamoid bone of a. human foot.
This bone is part of a human rib
There can be no mistake about that be-
ing human Rib or part. This is the
second tip of the. fourth toe of human
foot. There is no other bone like it
in the lower animals" On the last
piece of bone shown him Mr.. Howes
was not so sure. He said it might be
either the upper end of the humerus or
femur bone of human being.
Inspector Setback was called to tell
of his connection with the case, and to
trace the various finds that have been
offered in evidence. ~
! The cross-examinationsao the two
experts on the bones will take
one day. The state willsthen take up
the proof for the motive, in which the
name of Mary Siemering will figure
prominently. Mrs. Feldts will testify
along this line, as will@also Frank
Bialk, Odorowski, Mrs. Tosch and other
neighbors of the sausage maker.

Tuesday, when the opening statement
for the defense will be made.
