Seattle, Wash, Oct. 21.-Judge Han ford of the federal court today made a decision in Chinese case in which he holds that the wives and children of Chinese merchants doing business in the United States do not have to have certificates from the government to entitle them to enter this country.

LUETGERT'S STORY
The Associated Pre- SS Obtains a
 Sworn Statement
THE JURY FAILS TO AGREE
The Sausage Maker Disap-
 pointed at the Result
He Swsars That He Did Not Kill His Wife; He Does Not Know where She Is But That Time Will Bring Her Back.

Chicago. Oct. 21-The, jury in the famous Luetgert case being unable to agree upon verdict was discharged by Judge Tuthill this morning. It stood nine for conviction and three for ac- uufttal. Luetgert received the an nouncement imperturbably, and with a good natured smile shook hands with liam Charles, before being taken back to jail.
 Judge TuthiH remarked that it was much to be regretted that the jury was unable to agree, but he was bound to accept the statement of the jurors made through the foreman and indi- vidually Before being discharged the jury submitted a report thanking the attorneys and the court for cour- tesies extended and expressed the opinion that, while unable to agree upon the verdict, there was one thing they agreed about, and that was that the circumstances were such that the police had ample reasons to prose cute on the showing without hearing the defense, and commenting them for having done their duty.
 The Associated Press tonight ob- tained one great feature missing in testimony of the defendant himself, Adolph L. Luetgert. Standing to- night in the gloomy jail adjoining the grim looking gray stone court build ing in which his remarkable trial had at last been brought to a finish, the burly sausage maker capped the cN.- max of an extraordinary series of events which began with his sensa- tional bankruptcy and the alleged frightful diabolism of boiling his wife to death at midnight in vat in his factory cellar. Tonight, closely fol- lowing the final result of the trial which has attracted world wide a. tention, Iinetgert made under oath a statement for the Associated Press concerning the fearful crime cha ged against him, the first sworn state ment yet made by him and the first statement of such a kind ever known in newspaper annals.
 The affidavit was put in writing in due legal form and is certified to by a notary. Ex-Judge William A. Vim cent, the leading counsel for the de- fendant i'm this celebrated case, gave consent to the affidavit being made. The affidavit explicitly declares Luet- gert's innocence. The document in full is as follows:
 ITO the Public:
 1.-The result of my trial, ending to- day, is a victory for me because of the disagreement of the jury, but I am very much disappointed and sur prised that the jury d1d not bring in a verdict of not guilty.
 ''I did not kill my wife and do not know where she, is, but I am sure that 1t is only question of time until she comes home I did not go on the witness stand because my lawyer. Judge Vincent, was bitterly opposed to my doing so and because he advised me that it was not necessary.
 'I am grateful for the treme rdotrs change in public sentiment in my favor and time will demonstrate that I am not only an innocent, but a grievously wronged man. Signed,
 '.ADOLPH L. LUETGERT."
