wound in the forehead showed he had
also been shot. Miss Reed was also shot
and beaten. Reed was 45 years old and
his sister 80.
The first knowledge of the crime was

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 7.-Adolph L.
Luetgert, the millionaire sausage-maker,
will be tried early next week for the MUIR
der of his wife.
LIetgert's attorney, W. a. Vincent, Wis.,
tied the STATES attorney in com pany with
the accused mans son and asked that the
case be set for early date. The situa-
ton was discussed for some time, and the
States attorney finally consented to enter
upon the trial during the following week.
An effort Will be made 10 get Judge TO
take up the case Monday. The States
attorney has spoken to one OF the Judges
and he has consented to take the case if
possible. The name of the Judge is not
given from the fact that it may become
necessary to ask some other Judge to he or
the matter.
Plans were made to-day at the Rush
Medical College fo- an experiment thai
will prove unique in the realm of science.
On the re ulis attained may depend the
ability Of the State to convict Adolph
Luetgert, the sausage manufacturer, al
legged to have murdered his vile. In the
presence OF mum Der of citizens, medical
experts and experts of the scientific world,
human body will be subjected TO solu-

as the torrent approached, and the struc-

railroad bridge in the city has been swept

Where it struck a great hole covering

All buildings were flooded to the sec
