Chicago, Sept. 2S.-viewsd from vari- ous standpoints today's proceedings in the Luettgert murder trial were the most remarkable that have occurred within : three weeks. In the fac4 of the sensa- tional circums antial evidence that has been produced to prove that Mrs Luet- gert mst death in her husbands sau- sage factory on May three witne sses testified today that they saw the wo. man alive on May 3 and A. One of these witnesses talked to her and believed from description and photograph 9f Mrs. Luetgsrt, that the woman she saw was Mrs. Luetgert. This is wit ness Matt B. Shelley, barkeeper az the Hotel Maple, Kenosha, Wis. He saw, he said a strange woman at the Hotel Naples on the evening of May g.. He talked with her nearly ten minutes. She asked to be directed to the farm of one Mueller in the nsighborhood, but as no one seemed to know of such person. the woman left on the following day. Shelley again saw the woman. He da- scrfbed her general appearance and clothing and identified photograph of Mrs. Luetgert as the woman he saw.
 On cross examination by States Ala torney Dene:n, Shelley first fixed tfie weight of the woman he saw at 130 or 40 pounds. Then he hesitated, said he had got mixsd up and remarked that the woman weighed 115 to 120 pounds, which, was about Mrs. Luetgert's weight. This hesitation and correction was made much of by the prosecution, which i11s timated that 1t indicated that Sho1ley had forgotten the weight that had been probably told him at first.
 Policeman Henry Feldshaw, of Keno- sha, Wis, testified that he saw strangs woman in the police station of his town on May 3. The witness said that he af- terwards met the woman at the Hotel Maple and the next day at the railway station. He described tha woman and said she wore a sailor hat and slippers. one of the slippers she had worn was found in the police station after she had left. The witness Identified the picture of Mrs. Luetgert as closely rs- sembling the woman he saw.

 'T don't remembers
 ''Did you not tell Rosa Glech you did not see MT. and Mrs Luetgsrt the night of May 1?''
 q may have said so."
 Mrs. Ma;tfe Sclherrer the last witness of the day, testified positively that En1- ana Schipmpke told hsr the tesimany ths Schampke girl had given on the witness stand was untrue.
 Late in the afternoon the witness  Sholly, who had testified that he had seen Mrs.Luetgert in Kenosha, and that she was a woman weighing 140 pounds. announced that he desired to correct his testimony. He took the stand and delivered himself of the following
 When I said the woman weighed 40 pounds I meant to say she weighed about 115. I was thinking of her age when I made my former statement.'
 "what?" asked States Attorney De- neen.
 'T was thinking of her age when said she weighed 140 pounds
