For That Reason Great Delay Is Antici- pated—History of Crime \Vith Which Wealthy Sausage Manufact- urer Stands Accused. Chicago, Aug. 24.—After two prelim- inary hearings and three months’ con- finement in the county jail, Adol-ph L. Luetgert, the rich sausage maker, was put on trial charged with the murder of his wife before Judge Tuthill in the criminal court today. The big sausage maker has declared to his attorneys, ex-Judge William A. Vincent and Al- ber Phalen, that he desired no further delay. Both the state and defense prophesy that 1,000 veniremen will be examined, and that a week will pass before 12 men who are acceptable to both sides are found. Then the trial will begin in earnest. A Remarkable Case. The case of Luetgert is one of the queerest to be found in criminal his— tory. It is charged that he enticed his wife into a room, murdered her and dissolved her body in a. flesh destroying vat. Luetgert is 52 years old and weighs about 200 pounds. He came to this country from Holland 27 years ago and went to Chicago. He married his first wife soon after going west. She died after six years, leaving a son, Arnold. It is alleged by many that the first Mrs. Luetgert’s death was due to violence. A pretty blond girl named Louise Becknese became his second wife in 1880. She was then 22 years old. They were opposites—she, modest and re- fined; he, coarse and brutal. They never lived happily. Luetgert bought an interest in a sau- sage business. He invented an arti- ficial means of giving sausage casings the appearance of age. Sausage treat- ed in his way, made in the morning, was ready for the market in the even- mg. The chemical compound that he used was a secret. Other sausage makers could not compete with him, and in a few years he was worth $500,000. Luetgert was swindled out‘of a. large sum of money on May 1 last by a man named Davey. At that time the fam- ily consisted of the husband and wife, Louis, 12 years old; Elmer, 5, and Mary Simering. At 10.30 o’clock that night Louis was telling his mother what he had seen at a circus, when Luetgert stalked in with a. lantern in his hand. He sent Louis to bed. Ten minutes later the boy heard one or more persons go out the front door. It is supposed the husband was then leading his wife to her death. The Deathroom. On the first floor of the sausage fac- tory, in the rear of the offices, is a small bedroom where Luetgert slept. It is thought the murder was done in that room. A faint trail of what is sup- posed to be human blood leads from there through a. rear passage and d-oWn a. flight of stairs to the basement, where the vats and smoke- rooms are. The vats had,been used for boiling meats and coloring sausage casings. Steam coils for heating the water and chemicals run through the vats. The factory had been shut down for five weeks, and it is claimed that a few days before Mrs. Luetgert’s disappear- ance her husband had one of the vats carefully cleaned. Then Luetgert emptied three barrels of crude potash into the vat. He was helped by a man named Odorosky, whose hands were burned by the stuff. Early on the night of May 1 Luetgert had Watchman Bialk build a. fire under the boilers. When steam was up Luet- gert turned it on the pipes in full, Bialk says. Bialk was not allowed to enter the basement that night, but Luetgert remained there. He sent the watch- man to a drug store twice for drugs. The state will attempt to prove that Luetgert enticed his wife into his bed- room at 10:30; that he killed her with an iron bar;‘that a. man named O’Don- nell heard her scream; that the bus- band carried the body to the basement and placed it in a. vat. Watched Beside the Vat. At 5 o’clock in the morning Bialk found the vat running over with cold water. Beside it, in an office chair, was Luetgert, who, the police claim, calmly sat beside the vat until his wife’s body dissolved. Luetgert entered his home at 9 o’clock. Mary Simeringi- told him that his wife had not occupied her bed. “She has probably gone to visit some of her friends,” he replied. Mary Simering a few days later wrote to Mrs. Luetgert’s brother, Diederich Becknese, of Salt Creek, Ills, about the woman’s disappearance. He went to Chicago, and on May 7 informed Police Captain Schuettle. An investigation was begun. In the vat Mrs. Luetgert’s wedding ring, bearing the initials “L. L.,” and a guard ring were found, and in one of the smokehouses pieces of bone, a wisp of hair, a tooth, buttons and part of a corset steel were discov- ered. On May 17 Luetgert was arrested. He was apparently not surprised. “I am entirely innocent,” he declared. “My wife was not in her right mind and she wandered off somewhere, but will come back.” A. W. C. Grotty, of 14 West One Hun- dred and Fifteenth street, claims to have seen Mrs. Luetgert in New York city on May 7. Grotty is in business at 163 Mercer street. He says he knew her well in Chicago, and that he met and talked with her in front of Cook’s ticket agency on Broadway. Grotty told his story to Chief Q’Brien, who characterized it as improbable. In order to meet the assertion of the defense that a human body could not be dissolved in the time that it is claimed Luetgert did it, an actual demonstration was made on Aug. 7. Professor Walter S. Haines and Pro- fessor Mark Delafontaine, of Rush Med- ical college-placed the body of a man into potash dissolved in water and heated to the boiling point, and in two hours and tWenty minutes nothing remained but a handful of brittle bone. The test was authorized by the state’s attorney and it established the fact that. a. body may be ,quickly and entirely de-_ strayed. LOGIL EVIDEIIGE.

Constantinople, Zing. 2=l.—The confes- smns of the two smn -...aiis summed on Saturday, at whose residences bombs were found by the police, are said to have been prompted by the Turkish au. thoritiss The prisoners are alleged to have confessed that they intended to use the bombs at the Russian and Ger- man embassies. The circular letter received by the em- bassadors 'of the powers from the Ar- menian Dashnakzutrum committee, al- mcst identical with the one sent to the embassadors in 1896, declaring the Ar- menians are tired of waiting, and are resolved to take action for the redress of their grievances, also appeals 'to the pity of the nations of Europe not to al- low the Armenian nation to be anhili- lated, asserts that the Turkish promises _ of reform are a dead letter, and that in this extremity the Armenians are re- solved to carry out what was foreshad- owed by the occurrences of Aug. 26, 1896 These steps, they further state, are the preliminaries of a plan the very idea 01 which fills them with terror. They de- clare they will not cease to act until their demands, which are “sanctified by the blood of martyrs,” are satisfied. It is given out here that the French minister for foreign affairs, M. Hana- toux, replying to the Marquis of Salis- bury, who insists upon~ the Turkisr. evacuation of Thessaly before the Greek indemnity is paid, says he shares the views of the British premier and min- ister. for foreign affairs; but M. Hana- toux submits that the occupation at Thessaly is of less importance than the conclusion of peace. The Marquis of Salisbury, in order n solve the difficulty, has suggested that the powers co-operate in a. scheme tc enable Greece to guarantee the interest on a loan to pay off the Turkish in- demnity, by international control, it necessary, of a. portion of the Hellenic revenues. The powers are considering the proposal. It was on Aug. 26, 1896, that the Ar- menian revolutionists made their de- termined attack upon the Ottoman bank invading that building with bombs and revolvers, killing a number of police- men on guard, mounting the roof. and from there and from the windows (‘33:; upon the police in the street below. S11 Edgar Vincent, director of the Ottoman bank, eventually prevailed upon the Ar- menians to surrender, and, after about forty-eight hours of unchecked blood- shed, the Mussulmans quieted down. WRBOK OF THE MEXICO. The Blame For the Disaster Placed With the Captain. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.—The board of inquiry on the wrecking of the steamship Mexico in Dixon’s entrance, Thursday, Aug. 5, has revoked the pilot papers of Captain Thomas, master of the steamship, and suspended him for 60 days. The. papers of the pilot, Con- nell. who was on the bridge at the time_ of the disaster, have been revoked for a period of 30 days. It is stated that they found that the blame was with Captain Thomas, who had retired. was held that he should have been on deck, especially as he had placed his vessel in a. dangerous position. Fur- ther, it was found that the rock on which the steamship struck was West Devil's neck, and therefore was known to the navigating officer of the Mexico. Everett \Villis Held. Boston, Aug. 24.—Everett Willis, who was severely wounded by the officials _of Charlestown state prison while as- sisting his brother, Herbert,~ the Taun- ton murderer, in an attempt to escape from that institution recently, was today held in $20,000 for appearance before the grand jury.
