Chicago. Sept 16-Adolph L. Luetgert
limped into the court room today lean
ing heavily upon a crutch. The big pris-
oner in tramping the Jail corridor had
slipped and so severely sprained mis- leg
that walking was very painful.
The trial was not resumed until con-
siderably later than usual Despite the
injury, the accused sausage maker ap-
peared TO be in good spirits and chatted
pleasantly with his son Arnold.
Professor George Dorsey, of the Field
Columbian Museum, was recalled to the
witness stand 10 make correction in the
startling testimony he gave yesterday.
Professor Dorsey said that yesterday ne
had said that the femur bone which he
had identified was from the left leg. He
desired to correct this. The bone, the
professor said, was from the right leg.
The witness explained that when he first
examined the bone ne was under the i'm
preston that it came from the left leg
He said during the time che was on the
witness stand he forgot the latter dis
covery and said left side when ne meant
right side.
Attorney Vincent announced that ne
would require an entire day 70 cross-ex-
anime Professor Dorsey. But first ne de-
sired TO briefly cross-examine DR.. Norvai
Pierce. who had Identified a piece OF
bone as the left temporal bone OF fe-
male skull.
Then the cross-examination OF Profess
sor Dorsey began. Attorney Vincent
triedi n vain for over an hour 70 break
the force OF the professors Identification
OF the femur, questioning him sharply
as 10 the difference between the femur OF
a female and male. Professor Dorsey
calmly explained, with the aid OF the
bone in evidence.
The prosecution expects to rest its case
Saturday afternoon.
Professor Dorsey will be on the wit
ness stand again tomorrow for further
cross-examina,i0n.

IN Austria law has just been passed
making IL punishable offense for
parents TO take young children into
bed with them. This ias been rem
dered necessary by the large number
of deaths of infants through being
overlaid, the annual average having
been for some time past as much as
5000. In England. where no such law
as yet prevails, the average is even
still larger, possibly in conseq uence of
the extensive insurance of one kind
and another on infant life.
