gert, theSausage Maker.
BONES ‘FOUND IN THE VATS.
Bloodstained Clothes and Portions of a
' Body Also Said to Have Been Dis-
covered Near the Factory—Ex-
amination Postponed.
Chicago, May 25.—New evidence has
been discovered which, the police say,
gives additional proof that Adolph
Luetgert murdered his wife in his sau-
sage factory and then disposed of her
body by placing it in a. vat of chemi-
cals. -
The police refuse to tell the exact
nature of the evidence which they have
found, but from what is known it is
said that they have discovered a por-
tion of the body of the, missing woman,

as well as some of her clothing, and the
garments worn by Luetgert on the
night of the alleged murder.
The evidence, whatever ‘it may be, is,
regarded by the police as of the utmost
importance. It was found in a small
frame building directly in the rear of
Luetgert's home, and about 300 feet
away from the engine room and the
vats in which the rings were found.
PoliceInspector Schaack said today
that there are a. vat in the building and
several bins containing chemicals.
A quantity of clothing was also
found, and one of the detectives said
that some of this had belonged to a
w0man and was believed to have been
worn by Mrs Luetgert on the night
she disappeared.
Other garments are said to have be-
longed to Luetgert and to be spotted
with blood.
'It is said also that concealed in the
vat are portions of a human body. The
police will not giVe‘any details about
this, but it is known that they have
had a bone which was found examined
and that it is said to be a portion of a
female skeleton.
The importance the police place upon
the find is- shown by the fact that they
placed a guard about the building and
will allow no one to enter.
It is also shown by the haste with
which the detectives Who made the dis—
covery notified their superior officers.
The Examination Postponed. -
The latter were attending the pre-
liminary examination of Luetgert when
they received word of the discovery of
the new evidence.
After a hurried consultation with the
coroner they secured a postponement
of the case and went at once to Luet-
gert’s factory.
Assistant State Attorney McEwen
went with them, and for, an hour he
and Inspector Schaack, Captain Schu-
lettler and half a dozen detectives were
in the building.
When they came out, they carried
several bundles, and at once established
a police guard over the building.
A.witness has been discovered by the
police in John O'Connell, who, it is said,
will testify that he saw Adolph Luetgert

about the sausage factory between 2
and 3 o’clock of the morning following .
the night of the alleged murder of Mrs.
Luetgert.
On the morning in question O'Connell
was on his way home. His way led him
past the Luetgert sausage factory, and
his attention was first attracted by see-
ing smoke issuing from the tall chimney
at the rear of the factory.
O’Connell is said to have looked in the
basement windows and to have gone up
the stairs leading to the factory office.
and to have looked in at the office win-
dows.
Just what O’Connell claims to have
seen cannot be gained from the police,
but State Attorney McEwen vouchsafed
the information that by this Witness he
would be able to show Lu’etgert’s pres-
ence about various portions of his fac-
tory at an early hour Sunday, May 2.

Reported Plans to Oppose the Gigantic
. Bell Company.
Chicago, May 25. —The Times- Herald
says today: “Steps looking to the for-
mation of a powerful alliance in oppo-
sition to the Bell Telephone company,
are to be taken in Chicago this Week.
A national association is to be formed
of the 1 000 operating telephone ex-
changes of the United States independ-
ent of the Bell company for mutual
protection and development. Long dis-
tant toll line connections are to be made
by the connection of the various inde-
pendent telephone exchanges of the
country.
“In the near future an opposition tel-
ephone exchange is to be instituted in
Chicago, for which purpose a. company
of capitalists with experience in large
enterprises has already been organized.
Co-operation for .resisting any action
the Bell companymay take in the courts
in reference to the Berliner decision is
to be arranged.
“All these matters will be brought
prominently to the attention of the pub-
Tie by a meeting which will be held here
next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The call for this meeting has been is-
sued by James F. Keelyn, president of
the Western Telephone Construction
company. It has been sent to all of the
1, 000 or more independent telephone ex-
changes of the country and has elicited
a general interest among them. Reports
received indicate that at least 300 ex-
changes .will send from one to five rep-
resentatives each, Mr. Keelyn estimat-
ing the total attendance at between 500
and 1,000.”

tiate the terms of peace with Greece di-
rect, has informed the ministers of the

confided her interests to the powers,
there is no reason why she should nego-
tiate directly with Turkey.
