Development In the Transactions OF tn
Son of Adolph Luetgert.

Development in the Transactions OF the
Son OF Adolph Luetgert.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-Arnold c. Luetgert,
son Of the sausage maker, admits that
he forged a name to notes amounting
to s4,750, and turned them over to At
torney William A. Vincent, who was
Luetgert's chief counsel at his first trial
for the murder of his wife. The lawyer
withdrew from the case when he real
lied that he had been deceived, and
when a story that he had been an easy
victim of young Luetgert was first sug-
gested he endeavored to suppress the
details. He finally admitted that the
young man had told him of having
forged Endorsements on three notes that
he gave Vincent.
Arnold Luetgert laughed when 1t was
suggested that trouble might come of
his free use of signatures not his own.
Arnold said: II don't see nothing SO
bad about 1t. It's a matter between
Vincent and me. If he don't holler it's
nobody's business. / did admit to Vim
cent that I signed another name besides
my own to the notes, and am ready to
stand by 1t. There's somebody else in
1T, too, but I am willing to take the
blame and stand for the whole thing.

Ex-Secretary Herbert's Daughter Plunges
from Window While Insane.
Washington, Dec. 22.-Washington So
ciety was shocked yesterday by the
suicide of Miss Leila Herbert, the pretty
blonde daughter of ex-Secretary of the
Navy Herbert. Miss Herbert was
temporary deranged as the result of a
fall she sustained while riding a horse
some time ago. Escaping the vigilance
of her nurses yesterday she leaped
from an upper window of the Herbert
residence to her death. Early yester-
day morning it was found that Miss
Herbert had severed the artery in her
left wrist with a pair of scissors.
While the nurse then in charge was
making hasty preparations to
shut loft the flow of blood
Miss Herbert leaped through an
open window. falling head first on the
asphalt pavement below. Had the fall
not killed her almost instantaneously,
the severed artery must shortly have
proved fatal.
