BITTER FIGHT FOR LIFE
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS AHEAD IN
THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
The Corpus Deficit Said to be Established and
Police Inspector Setback to go on
the Stand.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. Gan important
conference was held to-day between the
States attorneys and the experts in the
Luetgert murder case. The vital ques-
ton of the corpus delicti' was under
discussion.
If the State can prove cOnclusively
the 'corpus deficit" can show portions
of the body of human being were taken
from the fatal vat and from the ashes
from the furnace-it will have case of
remarkable strength. The conference
lasted for several hours.
The great point is the identification
as human of the bones found near the
clubhouse where Frank O'Dorfsky said
he dumped the residue of the vat, and
of The bones found in the ashes from
the furnace. None of the parties of the
conference would tell definitely of the
results.
1T can be stated" said States at
torney Deneen, and Assistant States
Attorney McEwen, that the State has
found that it can produce convincing
proof of the corpus delicti.' Further
| than that it would be unwise to state
at the present time"
1t is predicted that the finest legal
battle of the Luetgert murder trial will
come off when Police Inspector Setback.
who has been very active in ferreting
out the mystery surrounding Mrs.
Luetgert's disappearance, takes the
stand. should it finally be decided to call
him as witness. 1t is at the door
of the North Side Inspector that Adolph
l.. Luetgert lays his present troubles.
The accused sausage-maker is extreme
ly bitter against Setback and his attor-
neys have tried to bring out evidence to
show that witnesses have been coached
| and that money has been used by the
police fixing testimony" Efforts were
made to show the police methods in the
instance of Gottlieba Schimpke, by try
ing to draw from her that the agreement
with the police matron was merely a
scheme to keep the girl under police
control.
This, taken with the bitter persona
feeling which Attorney Vincent is sale
to harbor against Inspector Setback
would likely make the court room 6
scene that would follow the introduction
of Setback as a witness, one of the
most exciting features of the trial.
In fact, it has been learned that tn,
defense has planned to make this
strong featrue of its side of the case

that it bore any relation to the trust
because he desires not be subjected to

great victories in the past ten days, first
in compelling Brown University to back
down and now in forcing Hobart to re-
sign. The worst of them are bound
sooner or later to succumb to correc:
