A HORRIBLE MURDER.
Luetsert Charged With killing His
Wife and Burning Her Body.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Adolph Luetgert.
well-known sausage manufacturer. was
arrested this afternoon on the charge OF
having murdered his wife. Luetgert made
an assignment about ten days ago and
about the same time Mrs Luetgert disap-
peared. 1t was at first supposed she had
committed suicide as result of her hus-
bands failure. The river was dragged, but
with no result. and for several days de-
tectives have been working on the murder
theory.
The police claim to have direct evidence
that Luetgert killed his wife In the base
ment of his sausage factory. 1t Is stated
by persons connected with the case that
the dead body was placed in a vat and
burned by the use of chemicals. 1t is said
that several bones are all that have been
found and that these were taken from the
vicinity of the vat Two finger rings be-
longing to the woman were found in the
vat.
