- STILL DISCUSSING BONES:
War of Anatomists and Osteologists In
the Luetgert Trial Goes‘ On.
Chicago, Sept. 17.—Professor George
A. Dorsey of the Eield Columbian mu-
seum took the stand for cross exami-
nation when the trial of Adolph L. Luet-
gert, charged with murdering his wife,
was resumed today. The corps of ex-
perts for the defense was enforced by
Dr. W. T. Eckley of the Chicago School
of Anatomy and Physiology. Dr. Dor—
sey made a correction as to the thigh
bone, which he identified yesterday as
a left femur. He said that he had in—
tended to call it the upper portion of a
right femur.
Mr. Vincent then said that he intend—
ed to take most of the day in cross ex-
amining Dr. Dorsey and suggested that
Dr. Pierce be put on the stand first, as
he expected to get through with him in
a short time. It is declared by the ex-
_ perts for the defense that the temporal
bone identified as human belongs to one
of the lower animals.
Dr. Pierce's knowledge of the com-
parative anatomy of the temporal bones

of sheep, hogssand the other domestic
animals was strongly attacked. One
of the distinguishing characteristics of
a human temporal bone, he said, was
the zygomatic process. It had been
.present on the bone in evidence, but
.the sawing of the specimen for exami-
gnation had caused it to crumble away,
; and he could with difficulty detect it to-
’ day.
l Mr. Vincent presented the temporal
bones of a hog, a sheep and a dog, and
“Dr. Pierce explained them to the jury.
iThe witness admitted that the zygo-
matic process was not necessarily an
identifying mark of a human temporal
bone, but that, when taken in connec-
tion with other characteristics, it was
a distinguishing mark. Dr. Pierce ad-
mitted that he could not identify the
, temporal bone of a. sheep or a hog un-
‘ less he had the entire skeleton.
“Are you still willing to identify that
bone as a. human temporal bone?” ask-
ed Mr. Vincent as a parting question.
After hesitating for a. few moments
Dr. Pierce said, “To my best knowledge
it is.”
! Professor Dorsey was then recalled
and the same tedious process continued.
WARM FIGHTING AT RAWAT.
A Night Attack by Natives Upon the
. Brigade of General Jefi'reya.
Simla, Sept. 17.—The second brigade of
the British punitive force, commanded
by General Jeffreys reached the foot
of the Rawat pass last Tuesday. Dur-
ing the night the British troops were at-
tacked by the enemy, who kept up a
heavy fire for six hours. Lieutenants
Tomkins and Bailey were killed, Lieu-
tenant Harrington was dangerously
wounded, 2 privates _were killed, 5
privates were wounded and 25 horses
and mules were killed.
The garrison of Fort Gulistan made a
gallant defense. The enemy appeared
before that place at noon on Sunday,
and by 1 o’clock the water tanks were
filled and other preparations were made
to resist a siege. The garrison was com~
posed of 165 Sikhs, commanded by Major
Des Voeux and Lieutenant Pratt. Sur-
" geon Prall, Mme. Des Voeux, her four
children and two nurses were also in
the fort.
At 4 p’clock in the afternoon the ene-
my closed around the place to within
10 yards of the walls, and, at times,
rushed up to them. The garrison repeat—
edly repulsed the tribesmen at the point
of the bayonet, and there were some re~
markable exhibitions of bravery. A
havildar (native sergeant), with 16
Sikhs, charged against 300 tribesmen and
captured three standards. Another ha'v~
ildar, with 10 men, rushed out to help
the first party when the latter was hard
pressed by the enemy, and before re-
turning they captured three more stand—
ards. A subahdar (native captain) and
2 Sikhs dashed to the rescue of a
wounded comrade, cut their way
through the enemy and brought him
safely into the fort.

cured me and that is all there is to it.

smooth and white and care free. Death
has taken away the hopeless, harassed
expression that weight of care and
trouble had imprinted there, driving her
to suicide.
Her eyes are closed. The look of un-
utterable despair in them cannot be
seen. She does not even look haggard,
yet it’s a known fact that she was very
hungry when she swallowed the carbolic
acid.
Today no one gazing at the oval, se—
rene face would guess that she was 15.
Yesterday, under her burden of care for
a family of ten, she seemed a woman.
A tragic discovery was made today.
Mrs. Mary Ann McMahon, the girl’s
mooted mother, did not know Maggie
was out of work. When, after her fa-
ther had deserted home and family in
the basement of 409 East One Hundred
and Sixth street and her brother Martin
had losr his place, Maggie was dis—
charged herself she did not dare to
break the news to her mother. She
magnanimously deceived her. Pay day
came.
"Times are very hard at the fac-
tory,” she said to her mother Saturday
night, the falsehood hurting her like a
whip.
Each Saturday she had to repeat the
falsehood. She was a. devout member
of St. Cecilia’s Catholic church. Her
burden of sins weighed on her. _She
was lost, she told herself, lost if she
continued to deceive, lost if she told
the truth. Not a cent was left in the
house. ..

rising.
“Hurry up, Maggie,” her z:;:.tl~.:r
would say, “or you will be late a: the
factory.”
So Maggie, her mesh of deception al»
ways increasing, -had to affect haste.
She hurried from the house to pander
all day in the streets, looking for work.
‘Veeks passed—no pay.
Every Saturday night this wretched
little girl had to come home and disap—
point her mother. Day by day her
weight of troubles increased.
The hungry looks, pathetically hope—
ful, that received her when she returned
home Saturday two weeks ago led her
into a greater falsehood.
“No pay today,” she said, “but the
factory gave us notice they would pay
all back wages Sept. 15.” .
There was a choruspf joy. Maggie
felt'repaid for the sin.
“Then we can tell the grocer, and per—
haps he \\‘ill give us a few things on
credit,” said her mother.
Here were new troubles confronting
Maggie already.
“You’ll bring the money lie-me to-
night.” her mother. bright and cheer—
ful, said as she left yesterday morn-
mg
“ es,” Maggie answered with a gulp.
She took a last desperate hunt for
work. She visited all the factories on
the east side. Nobody wanted.
She begged a few cents.
The Child’s Suicide.
She was very hungry and faint. She
passed a bakery, wistful eyed, and went
into a drug store. She bought carbolic
acid.
Suicide-«~this, as the wretched girl saw
it, was the only door left open.
Maggie crept into the basement by the
rear way, heard her mother and brother
and sisters chatting about what they
were going to have when she returned,
stole along the narrow hall and into a
dark closet.
She swallowed the carbolic acid. No
cry was heard from the closet, though
she must have suffered horribly.
"‘Maggie’s late,” said the invalid.
“She’s stopped to buy bread and some
meat," said her brother.
The hungry ones waited. No Maggie.
At length Martin discovered that the
closet door was locked. This was
strange. He broke it open. Out tum-
bled a bundle of some kind in the half
dark.
It was Maggie.
She had staggered against the door
and died.
On a scrap of paper she had written
the followingt
“Goodies all. It's nothing but work
and trouble. Don’t cry after me, for I
was not worth it. I tried hard, but I
seemed never to get ahead. I am so
tired. Goodby.”
In another pocket were found clip-
pings that told of the attempted suicide
last Monday of Winifred Sheehan. She
also took carbolic acid. Maggie former-
ly worked in Cameron’s worsted mills,
One Hundred and Thirtieth street and
the Boulevard. She received $4 a week.
