 A feature of her personality which lay at the root of her great success as Q photographer was her love of all that was beautiful She was always took by face, 7, as an old woman in Freshwater who remembers her put it to me. Charles Turner said the same thing In poet B language when he told her, in the sonnet he addressed to her on leaving the isle of Wight after visit, that she "loved all loyeliness. In obedience to this impulse she invariably stopped and spoke to any one, however unknown, whether in Q great London thoroughfare or g village lane, whose beauty attracted her. 'tI am Mrs. Cameron, ' she would say. Perhaps you have heard of me You would oblige me very much If you would let mo photograph you. Will you let mo do SOP And by such bold and unconventional means she prevailed on many. absolute strangers though they were. to sit to her.

THE LUETGERT TRIAL.

The Defendants Indifference to His Wife'a
Disappearance Testified to by Capt
SchueItIer-Sensitive to Newspaper Crit
fcism, but Careless of the Fate OF the
WOman-Wn Testify In His Own Be-
half.
CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-The Indifference
of Luetgert after his wife had dis
appeared was the principal fact
brought out against him to-day. It
was shown by the testimony of Police
Captain Hermann Schuettler that
Luetgert did not show any concern re.
Rarding his wife and never took the
trouble to ask the police whether they
had found any trace of her or not.
On one occasion he called at the po-
lice station to protest against an arti-
Gle in daily paper saying that his first
wife had not died natural death. The
police at this time were dragging the
river, pokinR into clay holes and pa
trolling the lake shore in the hope of
finding some trace of the missing
woman, but Luetgert, after he had
complained of the paper, left the sta
ton without even asking if the police
had found any trace of his wife.
When the police first became aware
of the disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert
through her brother, they asked Luet.
CERT what theory he had regarding her
disappearance and he said that in his
opinion she had become insane aud
wandered away from home. He had
not reported her going away either
to the police or to his neighbors
because, he said, it was disgrace tc
have an insane wife and he did
not want people to know anything
about it. Capt. Schuettler said that in
all the work the police did on the case
before the arrest of Luetgert they
never received any help or suggestions
from the husband and he never seemed
to care whether they found her or not.
Luetgert announced to-day that he
intended to take the stand and testify
in his own behalf. He said that he
had talked the matter over with his
attorneys, and that they had consented
that he should do SO. He said that he
would tell all about his actions on the
nights preceding the disappearance Oh
his wife, and would convince the iury
that he had done nothing wrong.

interrupted the reading at several
points to say: ''Oh, that's lie."

That's all a lie, every word of it,
but shall say no more until | see my
lawyers. Mack will have to prove what
he says"
Counsel for Martin Thorn read the
affidavit to him.
