THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
One Great Feature Missing Is Now Pre-
sented.

Ont Grtat bilhbsuE - NV" 49,
sented.
CHICAGO, Oct 22.-The Associated
Press tonight obtained the one great
feature missing in the famous Luetgert
trial-the sworn testimony OF the de-
fendant himself, Adolph l.. Luetgert.
Standing tonight in the gloomy jail
adjoining the grim-looking gray stone
court building, in which his remark
able trial had at last been brought to
a finish, the burly sausage manufac-
turer clapped the climax OF extraordin-
airy series of events which began with
his sensational bankruptcy and the al
legged frightful diabolism of boiling his
wife to death at midnight in vat in
his factory cellar.
Tonight, closely following the final
result of the trial which has attracted
worldwide attention, Luetgert made
under oath a statement for the AS
sociated press concerning the feartui
crime charged against him, the hrst
sworn statement yet made by him. ana
the first statement of such kind ever
know in newspaper annals. The atfi-
davit was put in writing, in due legal
form and is certified to by notary.
Ex-Judge William A. Vincent, the
leading counsel for the defendant, the
man to whose brains and skill and en-
ergy Luetgert beyond doubt owes his
great legal victory, gave consent to the
affidavit being made.
The scene in the Jail when Leutgert
took the oath was as dramatic as the
circumstances were unique. In the
dimly lighted Jail corridor. Leutgert
standing erect and grasping the iron
bars that still kept him from liberty,
lifted his right hand and solemnly as
sented as the notary administered the
binding form.
The affidavit explicitly declares Luet-
gert's innocence. The document in
full is as follows:
To the public: The result of my
trial ending today is a victory for me,
because of the disagreement of the
jury, but | am very much disappointed
and very much surprised that the jury
did not bring in a verdict of not guilty.
1 did not kill my wife, and do not
know where she is, but | am sure that
it is only a question of time until she
comes home. l did not go upon the
witness stand because my lawyer
Judge Vincent, was bitterly opposed to
my doing so, and because he advised
me it was not necessary. / am CRATE
full for the tremendous change in pub
lie sentiment in my favor and time will
demonstrate that | am not only an in
nocent, but very previously wrOnged
| man.

Food Scarce In KIondike.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Captain
Hoover, commander of the Bering sea
patrol fleet, who has arrived in Wash
ington to attend the seal conference,
said today that the reports concerning
the scarcity of food in the KIondike
region are not, in his judgment, ex-
aggerated. In the neighborhOod of
Dawson City, he said, there are about
5000 miners, whose supply of provis-
ions for the coming winter is no great
er than was barely sufficient for half
that number during last winter Great
suffering would be the inevitable re-
suit of this scarcity of food. Although
some Of the more vigorous among the
miners might attempt to get away on
the ice of the Yukon, the chances were
that a considerable number of these
would perish from hunger AMI expos
ure.

VICTORY FOR BONDSMEN.
Nebraska Defeated in the Trial to Re-
cover Lost Money.

cover Lost Money.
OMAHA. Neb., Oct. 23.-The bonds
men of ex-State Treasurer BARLEY won
the suit instituted against them by the
state to recover he half million dollar
defalcation in the state treasury when
BARLEY left the office.
ATTORNEY General Smyth moved to
dismiss the case without preJudlce.
He was compelled to do this under
ruling of the court to avoid the other
alternative of forcing Judge Powell TO
take the case out of the hands OF the
iury and to instruct it to bring in a
verdict for the sureties. In accordance
with the motion, the case was dismiss
ed and the jury was discharged. The
case is now in a position where it must
be tried again.
The victory for the bondsmen was
won on a question of law-Whether or
not the approval by the governor OF
the bond of BARLEY on the first day OF
theterm, January 8, 1895, was essential
to make the bond a valid and binding
instrument. The bond had been ap-
proved by the governor four days af-
terward, January 9, 1895.
Judge Powell decided that the stat
utes of Nebraska absolutely and un-
oualifiedly required that the approval
of the bond should have occurred on
the first day of the term; that by the
failure of the governor to approve it
on that day the Office of state treasurer
became vacant; that therefore BARLEY
was not actually state treasurer, but
simply acted in that capacity; that the
bondsmen had signed the bond Of
BARLEY as state treasurer and as moth
ing else and that therefore they could
not be held liable for his acts, as acting
state treasurer.

Prosecutions for Perjury.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-It is quite pos
sible that some prosecutions for per-
jury will result from the Luetgert case
While the states attorney refused to
affirm or deny this, it is given on first
class authority that the testimony
of two of the principal wit
nesses for the defense will be
laid before the grand jury for
an investigation. 1t may be that more
than two people will be included in
the list that will be carried to the
grand jury, but it is practically set
tied that indictments will be asked for
against two probably before the Luet-
CERT case can be reached for trial
again.
