dying by hundreds. OF starvation. The
grain crop last year was almost total

The supplies arc now completely ex-
hausted. and the harvest OF death has
begun The officials are making efforts

able 10 contribute are so small and the

TALKING FOR LUETGERT.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-Al-
though he was ill when he stop
ped speaking last evening, At
torney Phelan is apparently much
refreshed today and in good voice.
He resumed his argument for
Luetgert and made the declara'
ton that the defense had not only
broken the states circumstantial
chain of evidence at both ends
and in the middle, but that it had
scattered the fragments to the
four winds. He reiterated the
contention that the state had not
proved corpus de licti or sufficient
reliability for a serious consider
alton when human life was at
stake, ''fOr ought we know Mrs.
Luetgert, at this very moment, is
in the enjoyment of t robus
health, in the land of her natiy-
ity," shouted Attorney Phelen.
Then he let his voice down to a
whisper and added: wOr she
may be employed in some family,
remote from habitatiOn of intelli-
gent civilization, in a partly de-
mented condition"
Perjury on the part of the wit
nesses for the state in retaliation
to rings is charged in common
with perjury upon other vital ev-
idence i'm the case. Judge Vim
cent began closing his address on
behalf of the defense at noon to-
day. He will speak tomorrow.
Saturday the states attorney, |
Deneen, will close the case.

GOV. ATKINSON TALKS.
Believes His Wife Is Innocent of the
Charge of Forgery.

Charge of Forgery.
Glennville, w. Va, Oct. 14.-Gov. At
kinson, who has hitherto remained ST.
lent about the trial of his wife, has
made a statement Of which the follow
ing are the principal points:
Il have hitherto said nothing for
publication in this case except to mere
ly state that I know the prosecution
was actuated by malice and hatred.
1t is family quarrel and the public
knows they are the most bitter dis
putes. have heard every sentence of
the testimony given in the case and in
probable forgery casevbgkqjtknothing
my judgment 1t cannot be classed as
a probable forgery case. In my opin-
ion also it was an error to admit the
testimony on other matters which can
crime set out in the indictment. am
clearly of the opinion that several
witnesses and indeed all the real tes-
timony upon which the case hinged,
has been induced to testify for a con-
sideration."
"It is therefore evident that there
was an effort being made to bride wit
nesses and I am thoroughly convinced
that two or more Of them were abso-
lutely purchased. I cannot believe
that am mistaken on this point. The
evidence brought out in this trial also
shows that Mrs. Atkinson prior to her
marriage with Judge Camden, receiv-
ed an anonymous letter warning her
not to marry said Camden; that at
that time the will of Judge Camden
was about to be probated and several
other letters were written to her,
threatening newspaper publication I'M
less large sum of money was paid
and which if paid, 1t promised nothing
would be said or published relative TO
her. Prior to her marriage with me
another similar anonymous letter was
sent to her threatening her with other
trouble, including newspaper publica-
tions which would be thrown across
her pathway. Demands made in these
anonymous Matchmaking letters were
not acceded to nor complied with and
the result was that list of vile publi-
cations appeared against her in the
newspapers. In my honest, unbiased
judgment she is guilty of no crime
whatever and most certainly the crime
of aiding and abetting in entering
forged papers, charged against her in
the indictment, was in no sense proven
in the trial in this case"

was not yellow fever but a case Of per-
nicious malarial fever.
DIR. Barnitz presented an amendment
as follows:
That the board of health hereby de-
clares that the man Henry Griffin did
not die of yellow fever. I move this
because DR.. Hadra's resolution sug-
gests some other explanation of the
cause of death. That 1 do not ac-
cord with. We simply want an ex-
preston by vote of the board as to
whether the man Griffin died of yellow
fever or not"
The motion was put and the vote
stood 2 to 2, Drs. Hadra and Paschal
voting no and the mayor being alb
sent, it was declared tie.
The board then adjourned.
