says that among some Of the Highland

OF six nne stalwart sons. The nobleman

member. The old man sorrowrully gave him

Chicago's Latest Murder Case.

A trial destined to become famous is
now in progress in Chicago. Assuming
that not all our readers are familiar
with the principal facts in the case a
few words in review seem admissible.
The defendant, Adolph L. Luetgert, a
manufacturer of sausage. is under in
dictment for the alleged murder of his
wife, who was last seen alive in the
evening of May l. when she bade her
twelve-year-old son good night. The
prosecution charges that Luetgert
killed her and destroyed her body in a
vat containing chemicals in his saus-
age factory. The defense challenges
the prosecution to prove that Mrs.
Luetgert is dead
The two had quarreled. Luetgert had
left the home which sheltered his wife
and children, and taken up his resi-
dence in the sausage factory. The fac
tory had been idle for some weeks prior
TO May l, but on that night Luetgert
had fires made, and twice during the
night sent the night watchman away
on errands. Luetgert spent most of the
night i'm the front part of the basement,
where the watts are located, and he
himself turned on the steam. Several
weeks before laborer named Frank
Oberowsky had, under orders from
Luetgert, broken up the contents of a
barrel of stuff delivered at the factory,
different from anything Oberowsky had
ever seen used in the manufacture of
sausage. This stuff had burned his
hands, leaving scars. Later a Shiny
substance was found in one of the vats,
and some Of this corrosive chemical.
Such are the facts admitted by both,
sides. The prosecution presents GER
tain other alleged facts which the de-
fense strenuously disputes. 1t claims,
for example, that in the vat which the
police searched We're found bits Of bone,
an artificial tooth and two gold rings,
which were afterward identified as
rings which the missing woman wore.
