line before the criminal court building
as early as O'Clock in the morning
1t was a wild mob and there We're
numerous unpleasant collisions between
the bailiffs and the turbulent people.
LuetgeTt came into court and Shock
hands with a number Of his friends.
DENEENs ARGUMENT.
The states attorney then proceeded
with his argument, promising that it
should be brief. He said:
There are three matters of vital i'm
portance which are deserving of dis
cussion in this great trial-frst, theory
OF soap; second. the evidence Of the
Schimpl1e sisters, and third, the mys-
FERROUS woman at Kenosha-
Il VIII take these points as my text
and may also discuss some collateral
matters. The theory that Luetgert de-
sired to scrub his factory in order to
sell it to a syndicate has been exploded.
Ii has been shown that the sausage
! factory had not been in operation for
several months. Luetgert was not busy
during the day time. Why should he
make soap at night? 1t was shown
that the middle vat in the basement
was scrubbed the day before
Hold on, Mr.. Deneen, that statement
is Incorrect" interrupted ex-Judge Vim
cent The scrubbing did not occur the
day before Mrs. Luetgert disappeared,
but several days before"
We'll. we will not discuss the point
( farther; there are other things to con-
slider of more Importance
THE BONES FOUND.
States Attorney Deneen next devoted
his attention to the bones found IN the
vat Professor Dorsey, Professor
IoWse, Professor Delafont2ine identi-
fed some Of these bones as human met
acarpals human. femurs, human pha-
lauges human tenporals.
He shouted: What has the defense
done with those bones? DR.. Airport, the
CHIEF osteoicEist for the defense, said
he could not tell. His mind was a men
] tai equilibrium. DR.. Merrillat said moth
! ing. DR.. Hughes said nothing, Or. Reese
said nothing In fact, the identification
of the experts Of the prosecution was
/ not disputed much, but the 'rid1cule of
| the counsel for the defense. I think eX-
! Judge Vincent. when he heaped abuse
upon Professor Dorsey stopped below
/ his dignity. The latter has been to
! South America and Alaska to procure
1 the bones Of extinct races for the Field
! Columbian museum. He was selected
! because he knew bones, their nature
and TO what family they belonged.
! But I do not care TO discuss the eS-
perts further" said States Attorney
! Deneen. I am through with them
also the bones-but that barrel Of
! bones win not get out Of this case. |
mean the one the defense brought
here Wfniam Charles. Luetgert' S
partner, perjured himself to get that
| barrel in. Now we viii keep il in.
| Charles ought to be indicted for try
! ing to cover I'D crime with crime.

doubt in this case. Luetgert murdered
/ his wife. All this talk that the wo-
man left her home while suffering an
attack Of insanity is the veriest bosh,
eunningly devised and supported by
periured testimony"
| States Attorney Deneen criticised
Mary Siemmering in cutting tones.
He paid 4 glowing tribute to the mem
| cry Of SITs. Luetgert, whose last days
on earth, he said, were fraught With
sorrow and anguish. Luetgert moved
! about in his chair and tremors shook
| his gigantic frame. Re paid the clos
| est attention TO the speech Of the
young states attorney and the crowd
! in the vast court room listened with
GREATNESS attention
States Attorney Deneen suddenly
turned to judge TpthilI and said that
! his throat was sore and that he also
| felt III and dizzy
THE LAST WORDS.
States Attorney Deneen continued
to discuss the evidence for two ana a
half hours. His voice grew stronger
as he proceeded. just before the
hands on the dial of the court room
clock indicated the hour Of States
Deneens rested his elbow on the raj
4 before the jurors. Running his eyes
along each of the Il men, he said: 4
