FORGING lulu CHAIN.

Strong Points Brought Out Against
\ Luetgert by Experts.

BONES FOUND WERE HUMAN.

Sausage Manufacturer Appears Confident
and Anxious to Go on the Stand.
Opinionl of Chemists‘to Form
Main “no of Defense.

Chicago, Sept. 11.—Only a few people
were gathered around the entrance of
the criminal court building today wait-
ing for a possible invitation and a pass
which would enable them to enter the
room" where they might occasionally
get a glimpse of Adolph L. Luetgert,
alleged wife murderer, and by con—
tinued attention catch a word or two
of expert testimony as to chemical
analysis on the bones and slime said to
be all that remains of Mrs. Luetgert.

For the first time in the history of
the trial at least half the number of
persons in attendance at today’s ses-
sion were men.

Shortly before the session: opened
two muscular officers brought in the
dry goods box with its grewsome con-
tents of bone, flesh, slime and rocking
canvas, by examination of which the
expert witnesses for the state are ex—
pected to establish both the possibility
and the fact of a human body having
» been disintegrated in the long wooden

vat in the basement of the sausage facy

tory. .

Luetgert entered the
closely followed by the judge and the
jury. By the side of the prisoner were
his son Arnold, William Charles, his
friend, and several expert chemists who
assisted Attorney Vincent in cross ex-
amining the expert witnesses.

The Bones Arc of a Human.

Professor Delafont-aine, whose» exam-
ination was begun yesterday, was the
first witness placed on the stand by
the state. The almost inaudible tones

of the professor were hardly heard be-

yond the stenographers, and hardly a
word could be distinguished by the jury.

The witness identified several bits of
bone which 'he had received from In-
spector Sch-aack, asserting that the par-
ticles were taken from the shine which
was designated as being the residue
taken from the sluice leading from the
vat. ’

After a few minutes of questioning
the witness positively identified the bits
of bone as human, asserting that they
were portions of joints from fingers and
toes. This is one of the most important
facts which the state expected to estab-
lish. It produced no effect on the equa-
nimity of the prisoner, who tilted back
in his chair, wearing his usual expres—
sion of interest, but betraying no emo-
tion as he listened closely to the testi-
mony. ' ‘

Lnetgert’s Defense.

Friends of Adolph C. Luetgert have
given out what they claim will be the
principal. line of defense in the famous
wife murder trial. The facts, they say,
were given them by Luetgert himself
and by his counsel. They also proph-
esy what the accused’s testimony will
be when he takes the stand in his own
behalf.

According to this story, it will he
proved conclusively by experts whom
the defense will call that it is impossi-
ble for anyone by chemical analysis to
determine human blood and bone from
the bone and blood of a cow, pig, horse
or any other four legged animal.

The defense will claim that the par-
ticles of bone and flesh found in the
vats were those of animals. They will
prove, they say, that Luetgert’s pres-
ence in the factory at various times
after it was closed down was caused
by experiments in a chemical way
which lie was then engaged upon.

On the stand, it is stated, Luetgert
will tell as complete a story of his life
as he is allowed to. He will, those who
believe him innocent assert, prove to the
satisfaction of the judge and jury that
‘ he is not guilty of the crime of which
he stands accused. His counsel are
now willing that he should testify, and,
his friends claim, they would not have
co'nsented to his taking the stand were
they not sure his testimony would ma-
terially aid his case.

THE TEOBN-NAOK cuss.

Apparent Misstatcments In the Confes-
sion Made to Barber Goths.

New York, Sept. 11.——Now that the
trials of Martin Thorn and Mrs. Au-
gusta Nack are about to be transferred
to Long Island City, District Attorney
Youngs of Queens codnty has been be-
stirring himself to secure further evi-
dence of the manner in which William
Gu-ldensuppe, the Turkish bath rubber,
was killed and of the disposition of his
body. A careful inspection of the house
at 346 Second Street, Woodside, has
convinced Mr. Youngs that Gulden'suppe
was shot while he was in the front bed-
room and not in the rear room, as has
been believed. He was also convinced
that the story that Thorn told to Gotha,
the barber, was not accurate in every
particular. He'bellieves that the head
of the murdered man was inoased in
plaster of paris in the kitchen on the
floor below that on which the murder
was done. The place selected was, he
thinks, the set bathtubs. Right here
the idea has suggested itself that it was
possible that Mrs. Nack herself had in-
cased- the head in the plaster of paris
while Thorn in the bathroom on the
floor above was bundling up the other
dismembered parts of the bOdY.

There are several discoveries which
Mr. Youngs has made that have led
him to take this view of the case. H“
theory of the motive for Thorn’s de-
ceiving his friend is that he ought to
endeavor to shield the woman. It. was
a. hazy kind of an idea, Mr. Young's
thinks,.perh-aps, but it nevertheless was
the motive for twisting the facts just a
little bit. .-

The fact that the biggest blood spo
that was found in the Woodside cot-
tage was in the front bedroom was
the evidence that convinced Mr. Y oungs
that Guldensuppe was shot while he
wasin the front bedroom. He was
afterward dragged to the bathroom
and the work of mutilating his
body was begun. Down in the kitchen,
on the other hand, Mr. Youngs has
found blood spots on the stationary
tub, and it was in the trap of this same
tub that a quantity of the plaster of
paris was found by the plumber who
was engaged by the police of the city.

The preparation of the stlmony by
the district attorney of Q eens county
is, rapidly progressing, and it is sure
that the prosecution will be ready to
begin the trial on Oct. 18. as scheduled.

ELFIN BANDITS.

The Anderson Brothers, Aged E'ght and
Ten, Successfully Defy a Posse of life-n.
Cherry Creek, N. Y., Sept. 11.—Two

boys, not yet in their teens, defied a

posse of men at the point of revolvers,

and after firing several shots escaped
to the woods. An effort to dislodge

them was futile. . .

The lads are George and Rich An-
derson, 8 and 10 years old, who ran
away from home two months ago be-
cause their father whipped them for
disobedience. They have been with a
band of robbers who have infested this
part of the county. The ringleader,
Benjamin Brennan, was caught recent-
ly and confessed. He said that the An-
derson boys were with the gang and
were well supplied with money. and
arms. They had $38 between them, and
also revolvers and plenty of cartridges.

Charles Nelson captured the younger
of the boys yesterday after a chase.
The older brother pulled his revolVer
and, covering his man, commanded him
to release his hold. Nelson did so, and
the two boys went away together.

Nelson reported his experience to the
neighbors, and Jack-son Farrington, Ed
Paine and Peter McCloud followed the
young highwaymen. They chased them
for some distance, and when the boys
had run far enough to suit them they
turned, fired five shots at their pursu-
ers, took to the woods and are still at
large.

rim-:3 THAT LEAK.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad-
vantages:

While punctures in it can be re-
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in-
jections, as well as in any other
single-tube tire, it can be permanent!)
repaired by using the quick-repaii
strip inside the tire. See cut No. 1

strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in out
No. 3. . .

. The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire, is guaranteed not
porous. This is on account of the way
in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a sieve.” .

‘ Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture. ‘

Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric.

Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan &
Wright tires. Ask. also, what the
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired

. free of charge, at the factory in

Chicago or at any of the Morgan &
Wright free repair shops, located in
the principal gities. ‘

N. B.—When you have a. puncture,
get right off. Riding a tire flat, when
it has a tack or nail in it, ‘may
iamage it considerably. '

00 11' YOURSELF." I

You can tell just aswell as , a physi-
cian whether your kidneys are dis-
eased or healthy. The way to do is to
take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill
it with urine. _ If there is a. sediment—-
a powderlike substance—at. the bottom
after standing 3. day and. night, there
is something wrong-With the kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine stains
linen, there is no doubt that. the kid-
neys are afl’ected.

Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and constipation of the bowels
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
tion about its being the best and surest
medicine in the world for such troubles.
It quickly relieves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or old,
who take it. are not compelled to get
up a number of times during the night. .
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine,
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It. corrects
the bad effects of whiskey and beer; is
pleasant to the taste, and does not.
seem to be medicine at. all. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder often re-
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
be avoided. In such cases Favorite
Remedy should be taken without. fur-
ther delay or the disease may prove
fatal. It. is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all drug stores. It is well worth
many times its price. .
