LUETGERT'S SIDE OF IT.
His Attorney Outlines the Defense Damaging
 Testimony Against the State.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-The fist witness for the defense in the Luetgert trial was called today and there will be lots of evidence tending to prove the sausage makers innocense before the attorneys commence their final addresses.
 Attorney Vincent opened with short address for the defense and according to him the defense will be simple. It will consist chiefly of a general denial of the expert evidence submitted by t1ie prosecution, and prove that the caus;ic acide used in the vat was purchased by, Luetgert for making soap and evidence tending to show that Mrs. Luetgert is alive and in all probability in Germany.
 Concerning the rings found in the vat not those of Mrs. Luetgert and he would prove that she had never. seen thsm, much less worn them.
 The defense would also bring evidence to show that many bones identified by the experts for tine prosecution as human bones were in reality those of the lower animals. He will also show, he said, that Mrs. Luetgert has been seen alive and we'll, save for her mental troubles since May 1, tlle night on which iti is claimed that she was murdered. He also asserted that Luetgert will go on the stand in his own defense.
 IA warm fight arose in the course of the opening statement of Attorney Vim that he would prove that Mrs. Luetgert, nervous and discharged by the businegs reverses of hsr husband had told sev- eral of the neighbcrs that she intended to run away from home. The state pro- tested against. the admission of such evidence and the court, after listeEng to the arguments of the lawyers, sa.d that he did not think that he could per init such testimony. to go on. The de- fense felt this badly as Attorney Vim cent, in the heat of glis statement, had said that without such evidence he had just alluded ao his client might be hung. He said that he would fight energeti- cally for the admission of this testimony and finally Judge Tuthili said that he would permit the introduction of evl- dencc relating to conversations with Mrs. Luetgert held just previous to her dis appearanee but he said the evidence must be absolute, direct and unqu s. tioncd.

 Columbus, Miss, Sept. 22.-Sam B. Johnston, who shot and killed Carl Hartman, g. German music teacher, in this city yesterday afternoon, had a preliminary trial before Mayor Donnell this morning. The interest which the affair created in this city was intense and was evinced by the fact that during the trial the court room was crowded to suffocation.
 From evidence introduced at the trial, it was shown that Hartman had been too assiduous in his attentions to Mrs. William Topps, a sister of MT. John ston, and had been repeatedly warned that unless this attention ceased that his life would pay the forfeit He dis regarded these warnings and his death is the result. MT. Johnston was placed under a bond of s5,oOO to appear before the next term of the circuit court, but this was done only to comply with the law. as no grand jury in the state will indict where man is killed to protect the home of woman. Hartman was buried from the Gilmer hotel at 10 o'clock this morning, the funeral ser- vices being conducted by Rev. L. C., Hall

The river bank on both sides was soon lined with thousands of ex- cited spectators, who were thrilled by the magnificent sight. There was the bridge suspended 190 feet above the watsr mass of flames and smoke. It WAS a spectacle never to be forgotton. The firemen cut away a great part of the flooring and thus prevented the en- tire structure from being consumed.
 In about two hours the fire was got ten under control. Tonight it is still smoking, but all danger is past. The flooring on about three spans. almost half the bridge, Is destroyed. While the iron work on two spans is greatly damaged.
 The county engineer is conducting a thorough examination of the structure to learn jusb what the damage is.
 The fire is supposed to have origina ted from an electric light wire that ran underneath the floor. All traffic on the nortn side was cut off. but tonight a small ferry borst has been started.
 There vas no insurance on the bridge The actual loss may not reach over $i5,- 900. conservative estimate. The bridge was built in 1889 at cost of $2OO, GOO and is one of the handsomest in the country.

Attorney McCalmont presented the

that the court will treat it as he
has the preceding acts by the master.

Going to Morrison was the only
recourse left to Judge Gest in assert
ing the power OF the court over a
court officer. The repeated and IN
precedented acts Of Master in Chan.
Gerry McPherran in deliberately defy
ing the authority Of the court, has
brought the issue between the judge
and master, and it became the duty
of the Judge to his high office no less
than to himself to put a stop to the
abuse of privileges which the master
has INDUCED in. To do this 1t was
necessary for Judge Gest to go into
Whitesite county, and this be did.
