BONES WERE MADE UP
Sensational Statement of DR.. Airport
in Luetgert Murder Trial.
TESTIMONY MAY CLEAR DEFENDANT
Scientist Shows Where the Pieces
Were Stuck Together.
PROSECUTION IN D1SMAY

CHICAGO September 3o-Dr. Airport
made a statement on the witness stand
today that caused a profound sensation
for few minutes. He examining
the temporal bone which had been identi-
fled by Professor Dorsey and pronounced
my the latter not only temporal bone,
but the temporal bone of a woman.
THAT bone is not temporal bone, either
of human of the lower order of ami
mails" declared DIR. Airport. gazing at the
exhibit intently. ut is composition of
bones put together by artificial means.
The trace here which Professor Dorsey
said was the outline of facial nerve is
fiber of animal matter with which the bones
are stuck together
The statement was received with some
thing akin TO dsmay ny the prosecution
for moment.
Luetgert leaned back in his chair and
laughed.
Assistant States Attorney McEwen be-
gan a hot crOss-eNamination of the wit
ness
Public Interest Unabated.
Public interest in the Luetgert murder
trial continues with undated intensity.
All streets seem to lead to the criminal
court building.
Luetgert was in good spirits again to-
day. The testimony of DR.. Airport yester-
day afternoon was greatly to the big sau-
sage makers liking. DIR. Airport declared
the femur, which Professor George Dorsey
of the Field Columbian Museum identified
as that of a human, was the femur of a
neg DR.. Airport is Il professor of de-
Scriptive and comparative anatomy in the
Northwestern University. the dispute be-
tween these two eminent authorities as to
the bones has brought about a crisis in the
case. If the jury believes Dr. Airport the
conclusion can hardly he escaped that no
ut man body was boiled in the vat in Luet-
gert's factory.
Wh<n Dr. Airport went on the witness
stand again today he created another SEN
satton By declaring that The temporal bone
which Prof Dorsey Identified as human,
and from its formation probably the right
temporal tone of female. is not human
Dr Airport erpha ticaiiy remarked that
there was no indications upon which to
base the conclusion that the bone was
from the skull of a human being. He be-
Heved Ii came from the skull of some
lower animal. He also declared that the
phalanCsS in evidence belonged 10 the
lower animal Kingdom.
Sharp Examination.
Dr. Airport did rot know what was in
store for him in the cross-examination.
Prof. Dorsey had prepai ed for the prosecu-
tor a list of questions that stirred the
Northwestern University professor when
they were propounded by Assistant States
Attorney McEwen. The questions were
bristling with technicalities and were
framed with view TO testing DR.. AlportS
knowledge of osteology. DIR. Airport had
prepared for the defense the cross-examI-
nation of Prof Dorsey. and the latter even
ed matters with vengeance today.

A grave calamity threatens the Irish

ALBAUGHS-ANSMER-EiLED
Hearing Given IN, the Lafayette Square
= '.' Opera House Case. -
Denial of the Allegations Made In the
Bill for appointment of
Receiver.

Manager John w. Albaugh of the La
fayette Square Opera House today filed his;
answer to the suit filed against him last
week by Mr. Uriah H. Painter, his associ-
ate in the theatrical partnership, in which
Mr. Painter asked for a dissolution of the
partnership, the appointment of a receiver
therefore. and that the court require Mr.
Albaugh to accept an offer for the sale of
his interest to Mr.. Painter. The answer
filed today by Messrs McKenney and Por1
ter on behalf of Mr.. Albaugh was a very
voluminous paper. an abstract of which
was published in yesterdays Star.
Counsel Given a Hearing,
Judge Cole. sitting In Equity Court No.
!, today gave counsel a hearing on the
rule issued against Mr.. ,Albaugh, requir-
Ing him to show cause why receiver
should not be appointed. First, Messrs.
Blair and Thorn. counsel for Mr.. Painter,
read the bill of complaint, counsel for Mr..
Albaugh then reading his answer
In his answer Mr.. Albaugh emphatically
denies that either he or the partnership is
fnsolvent. The gross receipts for the last
season, he said were $4,000 larger than
during the preceding season, the profits
being over $4,000 greater. He as emphat-
1caliy denied any appropriation of the
partnership funds, other than that agreed
He denied that statements of the business
have been refused his associate, stating
that every night and also every week a
detailed statement is and has been sent to
Mr.. Painter. Mr.. Albaugh declares that he
has paid in ell he ever agreed to pay, and
explained that the correspondence between
their respective attorneys was not con-
tract of sale.
Partnershfp Affairs.
Mr.. Albaugh referred again to the part
nership as a most profitable one, and as
serted that the net profits for this season
will not be less than $4,000. He pointed
out that the appointment of receiver
would practically wreckethef business. He
therefore asked that tH H mation of his as
sociate be denied and the SUIT dismissed.
Upon the conclusion ofuthe reading of the
bill of complaint and Mr.. Albaugh's an
swer thereto, counsel proceeded to argue
the case, with the prospects that the hear
ing would continue Throughput the day.
Mr.. Painters counsekoeuhHitted that the
partnership is one at WILL. end that dis
solution Of it Is. therefere,e a matter Of
right. and that upon dissolution a receiver
must necessarily be sappOinted. These
propositions Mr.. Albaugh,s counsel did not
of course, admit to be seoTrect.

A MANS YUKON EXPENSES.
Can BE Made on His Way to the
klOn0fke.

From the Seattle Times.
Some men can make money anywhere.
ard some are now getting rich on the
Klond:ke. and they're not digging gold
either. Several people have gone in this
year and made more than their expenses
for outfit and boat fare. There are many
ways In which it can be done. One has to
have better Judgment than those people
who took in a great quantity of tea, ex-
pecting to sell 1t for many times its cost
when they arrived at Dawson. They did
not realize that tea was of very little use
in that country, where men work so hard
1t takes coffee. and strong coffee at that,
on the Yukon. OF course, the tea was dis
posed of below cost at Skaguay and Dyea.
Two young men from this vicinity made
their expenses ON eggs. Edward and
Charles Crowel were the lucky sspecuIa-
tors. They went to Dawson very early in
the year to do mercantile business. They
took stock OF general merchandise cost
ing 5000 A portion of this stock con-
sisted of several hundred dozen packed
eggs. They went UP the river on the first
boat from st. MfchaePs. For some reason
the commercial companies failed to bring
up any eggs on that trip The miners
wanted them above all things. The price
was sky-high ard In a few days the Gro
wells had disposed OF their entire stock of
hen fruit for enough dust to pay the pur-
chase price OF their entire. stock and their
expenses of getting to Dawson. They
opened up their general store in a tent and
have been making big money ever since.
This information was conveyed In q let
ter to friend IN this city. They do not
advise any one to bring In . stock OF
eggs, however. a. there are plenty ON hand
and the price b cut IA two.
There b one way, however. that . min
er going to the Yukon over the DYea or
Skaguay trails can make al his expenses
before he reaches Dawson. It was DEM
onstrated early in the year BY Sol A1berts

gers who went over the Dyea trail In
