POINTS AGAINST LUBTGERT.
Old Employees Give Evidence Concern-
ing Work About the Vats In Which
the Victim’s Body Is Alleged to
Have Been Destroyed.
Chicago, Sept.‘3.-The hundreds of
eager spectators equally divided be-
tWeen the two sexes kept the bailiffs at
"Judge Tuthill’s courtroom busy when
the Luetge'rt murder trial was re-..
sumed today. For a time it was impos-
sible for those connected with the case
to get in or out. Before the court was
called to order the doors were locked
and kept so until the crowd had been
dispersed by the bailiffs.
It was definitely announced today
that Luetgert will be a witness in his
own defense. The big. sausage maker
said the matter had been discussed be-
tween his attorneys and himself, and
when the time comes he will take the
witness stand and tell the jury about
his actions on the night of May 1. r.
Luetgert said he will explain what he
was doing in the basement of his fac-
tory and the experiments he was con-
ducting. The court opened with Frank
Odorafsky, Luetgert’s smokehouse man,
still in the witness chair.
Yesterday Odorafsky gave his testi-
mony in German. Today he abandoned
that language for Polish, his native
tongue, and a new interpreter was nec-
essary. His direct testimony was con-
cluded in a few minutes, the state
showing him a. tin box containing caus-
tic soda. This, the witness said, was like
the stuff which he took from a barrel in
the shipping room and under the direc-
tion of Luetgert broke up and placed in
the middle vat.
Odorafsky was turned over to the de-
fense for cross examination, and Attor-
ney Vincent questioned him about his
connection with the police since the ar-
rest of Luetgert. The witness said an
officer had been with him nearly all the
time. No money, he said, has been given
him and no position promised him, but
his wife has received money from In—
spector Schaack, “just a few cents,"
said Odorafsky, “to keep body and soul
together. I am not giving my testimony
for money, but for conscience.”
Points Against Luetgert.
The witness said that he had told
Inspector Schaack and State Attorney
Deneen of the slimy red liquid which
he saw in the vat and flowing from it,
but he had never mentioned it to“ any-
body else. Mr. Vincent asked him to
tell as nearly as possible the height of
the smokehouse ceiling. He said:
“I never measured it with a rule. If
you want to find it out to the exact
inch, you can go and measure it your-
self.”
The court rapped the desk with the
gavel to check the laughter that fol-
lowed. .
Another Pole, Frank Lewandowski,
succeeded Odorafsky on the witness
stand. He was examined by Mr. De-
neen, and said that he was employed
in the Luetgert factory to cook and
wrap hams. He said he was known as
Ham Frank to distirguish him from
Odorafsky, who was known as Smoke
Frank, and from Bialk, who was plain
Frank. He helped Smoke Frank to
carry the barrel of caustic potash into
the basement and to break up and
place the contents in the vat. He was
warned by Luetgert to handle the stuff
carefully, yet the caustic burned his
hands painfully in spite of his precau-
tions. '
The witness also said that he saw the
contents of the vat, or part of them,
after May 1. The liquid was slimy and
of a bloody tinge, and on the surface
was a froth, Smoke Frank brought
the stuff for him to see, and they noted
its appearance together.
The witness said that he saw near
the middle vat three doors and some
sacks, which had been used to cover
the vat, apparently, when the steam
was turned on. One side of the doors
was moist with the red tinged liquid,
and the sacks were wet from the
steam. The liquid had a foul and un-
healthful odor.
Lewandowski was cross examined
briefly without changing his testimony
and was succeeded in the witness chair
by Detective Charles Griehenow of the
police department. The detective said
that in May the day before the arrest
of Luetgert he met the latter in the sa-
loon of Mrs. Tosch, near the Luetgert
factory. Luetgert asked him what the
police had discovered and what he
might expect. The witness told. him
he might expect to be arrested. Gri-
ehenow said that when he first met
Luetgert the latter asked him if he had
' a warrant for him.
The witness said Luetgert shook him
by the hand and said: “You are my
friend. Do what you can for me.”

nium Beigned For Some Minutes.
Elizabeth, N. J., Sept. 3.—A kineto-
scope exhibition of the Corbett-Fitz-

began to guy the show. The gallery
gods 'hooted and yelled at the operator.
The show stopped, and a rush was
made for the box Office by the crowd
that wanted its money returned. Dur-
ing'the rush some one in the gallery
shouted “Fire!” and a panic ensued.
The house being dark, 'n-m, boys and
women began clambering over the séats
toward the doors. The crowds became
congested on the stairs leading from
the gallery to the main entrance, and
many persons were crushed badly and
their clothing torn. The presence of the
police and the turning on of the lights
prevented a serious panic. The man-
agement was unable to pay out the
money fast enough and persuaded the
angry crowd to return to the box office
tonight and get back their admission
money. A lively search was- made for
the man who called “Fire!" but he es-
caped.

edy, For ll.
Mr. George Briggs, of Moore. Okla.,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
1.2;; captive. The right side of his face
\‘.";:~. so badly afi'ccted that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
mun intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his month just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: “Truth is stranger
than Fiction.”
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TlSM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, ‘klahoma.
writes that P. P. P., Lippman‘s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple. down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest tOuch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
‘ his food would put him in torture. {a
had a consultation of the best. physi-
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism Were also
causing him much trouble. until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia. catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying be thanks, God and our ined-
icinc, l’. P. P., Lippman’s Great item-
cdy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected. bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
cased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion. skin and
blood diseases, can be speedilyremovcd
by P. l". l’.. Lippman‘s iii-mt Remedy.
