mark had been reached and that higher
prices were inevitable. and they backed
their opinion to the limit of their re-
sources. They hcgan by buying immedi-
ately last October and kept it up reso-
lutely. holding OF to their purchases and
adding to them. AS n result of this policy
there is now in ST. Louis a stock of 12,-

should in all cases include the chief

suggested that the collector should have

statement that has been given out for

when his father died Mr.. Johnson

He took upon himself the settlement
Of his fathers estate at the request of
the widow ard heirs. in doubt as to its
solvency, but little dreaming that it was
in debt nearly 100000. The said debts
he undertook to pay, at first supposing
he could do SO without financial en-
barrrassment to himself. He could not
cell real estate; values shrunk, interest
accumulated, and his own means gave
out. Then it was he began the use of
the banks money, hoping the sale If
real estate and success in his various
enterprises would enable him to return
the money to the bank, but success
did not come. He had no other purpose
or desire in all that he did than to
maintain his fathers good name by pay
ing all his debts and concealing his in
solvency."

Chicago, May 24.-Charred bones and
some old clothing, said to be blood
stained, have been taken by the police
from a building in the rear of the home
OF Adolph Luetgert, the wealthy sau-
sage manufacturer who is accused of
wife murder. The bones will be ex-
amfned to determine If they are of the
human body, and the stains on the
clothing will be put under chemical test
to ascertain whether they are blood
stains. The police attach great i'm
portance to this find,
The trial was begun Saturday, but
only one witness was examined =
Dietrich Bicknese, brother-in-law Of the
accused. The most important part Of
mis- testimony was his failure to identify
the rings found in the vat as those worn
by Mrs Luetgert. The defense asked
him whether the initial ring had q
milled edge and he said no. The de-
lense says 1t can prove that Mrs. Luet-
gerts initial ring was so milled. The
story about the woman having been
seen alive at Kenosha, Wis, seems to
nave fallen through.
