The Defense Has a Surprise Up Its
Sleeve For the Prosecution.
BOILED A BODY IN THE VAT.
Gave It the Same Treatment the Accused
.15 Said to Have Given His \Vife,
Yet the Bones \Vere Not Do-
stroyed by the Process.
L. Leutgert for the' murder of his wife
began in earnest today, the preliminary
work of securing a jury having been
completed. ‘
Long before the case was called the
corridors of the court building were
thronged with people anxious to gain
_ admittance to the little courtroom, and
five minutes after the doors were
tion.
i The lawyers in charge of the defense
'of Luetgert, accused of his wife’s mur—
der, believe that their client was
;brought a step nearer to liberty last
‘.night by means of anexp’eriment which
lwas tried in Luetgent’s sausage fac-
ltory. A cadaver was taken to his fac-
ltory, where it was subjected to the
'same process which the police and
state’s attorney say consumed the body
of Mrs. Luetgert. The witnesses of the
‘demonstration were pledged to secrecy,
but it was learned that the result was
f of a character satisfactory to them.
’ ' The body was boiled 41/2 hours, and at
l .
the end of that time it was not disin-
'~ ,tegrated entirely. The skull remained
, intact, and so did the heavier bones of
' other parts of the skeleton.
] The Bones Remained.
, It was intended by the defense to
'make the demonstration without the
. éknowledge of the state, but before it
Shad actually begun the officials con-
lcerned in the prosecution had been in—
formed of the undertaking: For the
' demonstration the body of a woman was
secured from the Northwestern Medical
college and taken to the factory in a
barrel and placed in a vat'in the base-
ment. A barrel of caustic soda was also
placed there.
It is a part of the theory of the prose-
cution that Luetgert placed a barrel of
the basement, filled it nearly full of
water and then threw the body of his
wife in it after he had strangled her.
To destroy the body, it is charged, he
then turned steam into the vat and
boiled the body in the strong solution.
The state has maintained that the
boiling of the flesh in a solution of
caustic soda or of caustic potash causes
disintegration in a surprisingly short
time, and that only two hours were re-
quired by Luetgert to destroy the re—
mains of his wife. All conditions of the
supposed murder were fulfilled. The al-
kali was put in the vat and the steam
turned on. In' 30 minutes the body
was placed in the solution. After four
and a half hours the skull and bones
were left. '
Professor John H. Long. head pro:-
fessor of Northwestern University Med—
ical college, had charge of the experi—
ment. ,
As a result of the test the defense. it
is said, will ask Judge Tuthill to remove
his court and the jury to the basement
of the big sausage factory for a few
hours and witness another experiment,
which, the defense claims, will com-
pletely disprove the state’s theory, of
disintegration.
After the prosecution closes the pres-
entation of the case to the court the
taking of testimony will begin.
The Sausage Society.
Louis Luetg t, the prisoner's oldest
child by the ssing woman, will prob-
ably be the first person to take the
stand. Little Louis |s expected to tes—
tify that oh the nightlof the supposed
murder his father ordered him to bed
earlier than usual, that his father and
mother had had a quarrel and that
when he had retired he heard them
leaving the sitting room.
Dietrich Bicknese, brother of Mrs.
Luetgert, will be the next witness. He
will tell of the disappearance of his sle-
. ter and of her relations with Luetgert
and of conversations he had with the
defendant prior to her disappearance
and afterward, when he was asked to
help search for her.
The lawyers and Witnesses for the de-
fense have formed what they have dub-
bed the “Sausage society.” Luetgert
was elected an honorary member, 'and
the rest agreed to give him a banquet
so soon as he is free and to have as one
of the chief dishes of the feast some of
his sausages. If this idea is carried out,
it will be the first time sausages have
been real popular since the alleged mur-
der.
The lawyers .for the defense claim
that the state’s witnesses are not of the
most reliable character and that the
sate will have great trouble in proving
the corpus delictl and in'establishing
any motive for the alleged crime. Fi-
stlll alive and say their experiment dis-
proves the theory of the state.
The lawyers for the prosecution are
not saying very much, but are as con-
much evidence which they have not yet
made known.

Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 3l.—A mob

sion been confined to bed. Dean’s Kid-

pretty bad at the time, the pills took

A Big~ Expedition Fitted Out and
Ready to Start For Cuba.
PLENTY OF‘WAR MATERIAL.
Three Car-loads of Ammunition Will Go
‘With the Party—Minister De Lome
Notifies Secretary Sherman and
Asks Him to Interfere.
Chicago, Aug. 31.—Two hundred Amer-
loans and three carloads of ammunition
are supposed to leave Chicago tomor-
row night for Jacksonville, Fla., there
to board the steamer Soledad for some
point in Cuba. The date of the Sole-
dad’s sailing is, according to Spanish
reports, fixed for Saturday.
The Americans composing the Chi-
cago Cuban contingent are made up
mostly of the unemployed. They have
enlisted for 12 months and are to re-
ceive a salary of $20 a month. In the
event of Cuba receiving her freedom
from Spain each soldier is promised a
large tract of land and a sum of money.
Lieutenant Colonel Dominez of the
New York junta is now in Chicago. He
comes as the agent of President Cis-
neros and Treasurer Benjamin Guerra.
He has brought several thousand dollars
with him, and he has been using it
among those who were found willing to
join the insurgents.
Unless Spanish Consul Fernando
Staudy Giminez, who will ask the fed-
eral court for an injunction prohibiting
the moving of these men and ammuni-
tion, is successful, the men will meet to-
day with knapsacks and rifles ready to
join the forces of Gomez in the Pinar
del Rio district.
Just exactly by what-line the Cuban
soldiers are to travel between this point
and Jacksonville is not known.
p A Spanish Warning.
The Spanish consul,- acting under or-
ders from Minister De Lorne, who is
now at Lenox, Mesa, has sent out :1
notice to all lines running south to the
following effect:
“You are hereby warned not to carry
material contraband of war or any ma—
terial that may be subsequently used
for or by the Cuban insurgents. If such
material is shipped, the Spanish govern--
ment will hold you responsible under
the rules of international law and by
reason of any such protection as the
laws of the United States give said
Spanish government as far as relates
CHICAGO FlLlBUSTERS." "
l
to the shipping or carrying of goods
contraband of war to nonbelligercnts.”
This warning was sent out after the
consul had consulted with his govern-
ment’s attorney in this city.
At a late hour last night the ccnsu‘.
telegraphed to Minister De Lome ask-
ing if he should apply to United States
District Attorney Black for an injunc—
tion restraining all railroads from car-
rying men or ammunition supposed to
be bound for Florida points.
On this question the consul is in
doubt, although, he says, it appears to
him that undo»: the law he has the same
right to. stop the men and ammunition
here as he would were they were about
to board a ship at Jacksonville. At all
events, it is likely that the matter will
be brought to General Black’s atten-
tion.
The Chicago consul, under instruc-
tions from Minister De Lorne, has noti—
fied all Spanish agents along the Mex-
ican coast to be on the lookout for fili—
bust‘ering explilitions from Chicago.
Minister De Lome has wired Secre-
tary Sherman at Washington calling
his attention to the fact that a party of
insurgents has engaged passage from
Chicago to Jacksonville and asking the
secretary to take measures to prevent
the departure of these men and to seize
whatever ammunition might be found
billed for Florida.
Spain’s Troubles In Manllla.
Tacoma, Aug. 31.~—The latest advices
from Manila show that the rebellion
there is far from being crushed. A de-
termined attack has been made on the
important town of Magcarlang, in La-
guna province, by a party of rebels un—
der the command of Miguel Malvar.
The Spanish troops, being outnumbered,
retired to the convent, where they forti-
fied themselves until the arrival of the
troops sent by General Imramillo, when
the. rebels retired, leaving 25 dead and
carrying their wounded off, as usual.
The Spanish loss is not’ stated. The
friar priest of the town fought like a
lion. '
In the Bulacan provinceparties of
rebels attacked the towns of Macau—
yanan, Angal and. Bigaa, but were re-
pulsed wlth losses. In San Ildefonso,
in the same province, a party of 300 in—
surgents made an attack on the hamlet
of Bulac, but after severe fighting were
repulsed with a loss of 20 killed. In
Pampanga province a party of 200 reb-
els ms surprised near the town of San.
Luis and driven off with a loss of 40
killed. 'At Magaland'another party of
rebels was driven off with a loss of 18
killed. In Gapan, province of Nueva
Excija, a party attacked the town, but
was repulsed with the loss of three
killed and a number of horses captured.
All the above mentioned places belong
to the center of Luzon district. In the
south, in the province of Tayabas, a se-
vere attack appears to have been made
on the large and important town of
Lopez, on the Pacific coast, but details
are not forthcoming.
A Squaw’e Suicide.
Guthrie, O. T., Aug. 31.——~The wife of
Black Horse, a Cheyenne chief living in
