More Points For the State In the
Sausage Murder Trial.
AN IMPORTANT PURCHASE.
It Fixes the Time When the Murder Is
Alleged to Have Been Committed.
An Expert W'hose Testimony
Was Easily Discredited.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—For the first time
in the history of the Luetgert trial no
curious crowd today blocked the en-
trance to the ariminal court building
or Judge Tuthill’s courtroom prior to
the session of the court.
The public have learned, after sev-
eral tiresome lessons, that it is useless
to seek for entrance without a reascm-
able excuse other than curiosity. In
the courtroom the usual crowd of spec-
tators gathered, the women far out-
numbering the men as usual. The big
prisoner was brought into court earlier
than usual, and was in his seat in front
of Bailiff Reed before judge or jury en-
tered the courtroom. Luetgert plainly
showed the effects of confinement and
warm weather, and his features were
more wan than usual.
The jury also seemed to feel the ef-
fects of the several days of hot weather
and the two weeks of confinement which
they have endured.
The first witness called was H. F.
Kruger, the druggist who sold watch-
man Frank Bialk the medicine which
Luetgert ordered his employee to pur-
chase. The testimony was intended
merely as corroborative of the Watch-
man’s statement as to the time for the
purpose of showing the hours between
which the alleged murder was supposed
to 'ha9e been committed.
The second witness was Dr. Charles
B. Gibson, the chemical expert, who was
placed on the stand for redirect exam-
ination in regard 'to his analysis of
fleshy substances “and slime removed
from the vat wherein the state is at-
tempting to provetthe wife murder was
committed.
An Expert Discredited.
Gibson said that he found indisputa-
ble traces of flesh in minute shreds.
Attorney Vincent was assisted in the
work of cross examination by Professor
J. H. Long of the Northwestern uni-
versity and by Drs. B. L. Reisse. \Ve-
sener and Daines. all three expert
chemists. The experts wrote out the
questions propounded by the lawyer.
and the result was that they consider—
ably embarrassed the prosecution‘s Wit-
ness.
“Professor,” said Mr. Vincent.
you say positively that the shreds o."
flesh were from a human bot y?"
“In my opinion they were."
the witness.
‘ “Can you dif ercntiate by a chemical
analysis between the flesh of a human
being and that of any other warm
blooded animal?”
“I don’t think I could."
“That is all.” said Mr. Vincent. and
Gibson retired. the force of his testi—
mony having been badly impaired.
Professor Mark Delafontaine, a Swiss
chemist. was nc-xt put on the stand.
Professor Dclafmntainc was educated
only in the iechn :11 terms of English
and it was impc

The \Vestport Mystery.
TVcstport, Conn. Sept. lit—A repre—
sentative of the press today v-rcnt to
the house, of Daniel O’Brien, whose
wife, aged 68, was found in an uncon-
scious condition, terribly wounded. yes-
terday. The injured woman is still un—
conscious and the chances for her re—
covery seem poor. A Close examination
of the woman’s injuries shows a deep
cut an inch and a half in length in the
head back of the right ear.
Mississippi Steamer Sunk.
St. Louis, Sept. 10.—~News of the sink-
ing of the Anchor line steamer Belle of
Memphis near Crains island was re—
ceived here. She sank in nine feet of
water. There was a break 40 feet long
through her keel. There were about
100 passengers on board. many of them
St.. Lruis people, all of whom got off
without accident. ‘

Sidney avenue, who was assaulted and
robbed of a pocketbook in her home ear-
ly on Tuesday evening. is reported to be
better today and will recover. Miss
Haag, who is 21 years old, has been an
. invalid for several years.

thrr victims—Carl Gibbons, Lafayette

Harry Stevens had both legs crushed
so that amputation was necessary.
Rumored Sale of Ellerslie.
New York, Sept. 10.~—A report that El-
lerslie, the country home and farm of
Levi P. Morton at Rhinebeck, had been
sold to Dr. W. Seward Webb could not be
confirmed today. Nothing was known
about such a sale either atthe offices of
Mr. Morton or at those of Mr:- Webb.

.BN ROUTE TO THE KLONDIKB.
Departure of the Queen \Vith 110 Pros-
pectors—Jligld Search For Intoxicants.
Port Townshend, Wash, Sept. 10.—
The steamer Queen has sailed for Alas-
ka, and notwithstanding the fact that
on her return from the north, only four
days ago, she brought 35 disgusted men
from Skagguay she carried north 110
passengers bound for the Klondike via
Dyea. They all expressed themselves as
confident of their ability to cross the
pass and reach Dawson City this fall.
Stories of the miserable condition of the
pass appear to have no influence with
the people in their rush for the gold-
fields. While at her dock here the Queen
was subjected to a rigorous search by
the customs officers in quest of contra-
band intoxicants, but nothing of that
character was found. All ships sailing
from this port for Alaska will hereafter
be carefully searched before clearing.
The stern wheel steamer Eugene, re-
ported three days ago as deserted and
rapidly going to pieces in Alert bay,
created some surprise today by steam-
ing into port to bad condition, but far
from being a wreck. W'hen she started
from Comox, B. C., to St. Michael’s, she
encountered rough weather and had to
seek shelter in Alert bay. As she had
failed to clear at Brit3® Columbia ports
for St. Michael’s, in violation of the cus-
toms regulations, an attempt was made
to seize her whilgin British waters, and
she was chased 40 miles by their
customs officers in the tug Hope. It is
possible that the steamer may be seized
by customs officers here, as she was not
cleared at an American port when she
sailed for the north ten days ago.
San Francisco, Sept. lO.——Among the
passengers who sailed for the north on
board the steamer Umatilla from this
port were Captain A. E. Rogers and
James Evans,
pointed by the state department at
\Vashington to investigate and report
the best means of relieving the blockade
at the south of the Yukon and prevent-
ing the threatened famine in the Klon-
dike gold mining region. .
A company is being organized here
and will be incorporated under the laws
of Arizona to construct a nar‘ow gauge
railway from tidewater on Prince W'il—
liam sound up the valley of the Copper
river and thence across the divide to a
point on the Yukon liver near the
boundary line.
