LAWYERS TRICKS.
Some of Them Are Not Above Manu-
featuring Evidence.

Boston Transcript.
The charge which is understood to be
made by the defense in the Luetgert case
in Chicago, that the detectives are endeav-
oring to convict the accused upon manu-
featured evidence. going so far, as alleged.
as to put into the vat where they were after
wards found the rings which they would
have the jury believe were Mrs. Luetgert's,
appears incredible, and most persons who
have read it no doubt have probably con-
considered it merely the coinage of the brain
of some sensational newspaper man. But it
is never safe to make up ones mind about
anything in a criminal trial until after ii
is entirely over. The accusation against the
detectives in the Leutgert case recalls to
mind the very sharp practice of a very
sharp lawyer in a murder case in this city
some years ago. At the second trial of
Thomas w. Piper for the murder of Mabel
Young, the jury having disagreed at the
first trial, one of the counsel for the de-
Tense sought to clear his client by trying to
fasten the crime upon one Glover, a tramp
of the murder upon the day of its occur
renee. Among the witnesses called by the
defense was a locksmith who exhibited the
lock of the belfry door of the Warren-aVe-
nue. Church and the lock of the door of
room on Common street, If memory serves,
where Glover slept one night together with
either lock The late Attorney General
Train who conducted the case for the Com
monWealth, cross-eXamined the locksmith
briefly in something like the following
words: You made this key?' Yes, sir.
you made it since the first trial?" Yes,
sir" you made 1t for Mr.. Blank?" (the
counsel for the accused) Yes, sir. Then,
turning to Mr.. Blank Mr.. Train reached
cut the key. simply saying. Here is your
kew Mr. Blank" Here was a case where
a lawyer, held at the time to be reputable,
deliberately attempted to send an innocent
man to the gallows in order to clear his cli-
cnt whom he had every reason TO believe,
even if he did not actually know, was
alone guilty of the murder Of the little girl.

There is complaint on West Washington
street that Contractor Fuehring, who is ex-
pected to sprinkle daily that part of the
thoroughfare between the river bridge and
Belmont avenue, is not doing his work prop
erly One man claims that during the in
tensely hot weather of last week and the
week before there was very little sprinkling
done and the people living along the street
suffered greatly in consequence. The city
administration employs a number of in
spectors whose business it is to see that
streets are sprnkled daily The West

The last preliminary meeting of the Uni
versity Club of Indianapolis was held in the

same place. when the permanent organiza-
ton will be perfected A nominating COM

sen, Clinton l.. Hare John L. Griffiths Ed
ward Daniels and Schuyler A. Haas, was
appointed. This committee will present
nominations at the next meeting for presi-
dent, vice president, recording and CORE
spending secretaries and fifteen members
Of the controlling council. There is talk of
asking General Harrison to become presi-
dent CT the club.
Last spring the intiatory steps for the
formation of university club were taken
and provision al constitution was adopted
by sixty-five men who were identified with
the inception of the organization. Since then

A number of short speeches were made
last night. The consensus was that all the
conditions here were such as TO indicate

of the factors Of Indianapolis life. 1t was
urged that indianapolis, as the home of a
university and city containing so much
culture and so many educated men, ought
to have club of this kind The fifty mem
bers present last night pledged themselves
to SECURE two or three more applications

The old frame building which, several
years ago, was used as an excelsior plant
at Fourth street and the Big -Four Rail

sneaIxing along the sidewalk near the old
building and when they attempted to as
certain who he was, he ran. few min
utes later the fire was discovered. The
The loss was estimated at $500. There was
