DUPBD BY A RANK STRANGER W
Grief Over Loss of Her Husband’s Money 't
Through This Swindler, It Is Alleged,
Crazed Mrs. Luetgert and Caused
Her to Thunder Away.
Chicago, Sept. 23. ——Judge Vincent
sprung a surprise on the prosecution in
the Luetgert murder trial in his opening
statement today by reference to a man
named Robert Davey, who, he said, was
the original medium through whom all l
of Luetgert’s trouble arose and whose
actions resulted in Luetgert being ar—
raigned before the bar of justice today
charged with murder. ‘
"A little over a year ago satan, in the
shape of a medium sized, well dressed
and educated Englishman named Rob-
ert Davey, came to Luetgert and was
the cause of all his trouble,” said ex-
Judge Vincent. “This man came with
forged letters of introduction, repre-
senting himself a man of great means.
Luetgert has always carried his heart
on his sleeve, as you will see when he
goes on thewitness stand.”
This was the first official notice that
Luetgert would testify in his own be-
half, and the announcement was re—
ceived with a show of interest by the
prosecution and the spectators.
“Davey told Luetgert he could be'the
sausage king of the world," went on ex—
Judge Vincent, “and Luetgert believed
him, for Davey was an artist in paint—
ing glowing pictures of wealth and
fame. He told Luetgert he represented
an English syndicate and that a com—
pany would be organized with a capital
of $500,000, and bonds for an additional
$400,000 would be issued.
A Lovely Picture.
“The company would be known as
the A. L. Luetgert Sausage and Pack-
ing company, Davey said, and Luet—
gert would be given $200,000 cash and
$100,000 worth of stock. Out of the cash
he could pay off $50,000 of indebtedness
which was covered by a mortgage on
his factory.
“Mrs. Luetgert was delighted over the
visions of wealth revealed by Davey’s
picture, and Luetgert, uneducated, hon—
est and without suspicion, was pleased
over the prospect of ranking _with the
Armours, the Swifts and Nelson Morris
in the meat world. Davey had ex-
penses during the time he was negoti-
ating with Luetgert, whom he had in-
duced to close his factory preparatory
to the change which was to have taken
place .Tan. 1, 1897. He called upon Luet-
gert for money and got it, in all about
$25,000. Finally Davey told Luetgert
the money and bonds were in the cus-
tody of the Continental Bond company
of New York. Luetgert and Judge
Goodrich, to whom Luetgert had told
his story, went to New York, but none
of the bankers or bond companies of-
that city had ever heard of Davey, and
Luetgert had been swindled.”
The attorney told of Luetgert’s'strug—
gles after this. how his business had
been injured by the closing of the fac-
tory, and, in addition to the loss of $25,—
000 to Davey, he lost by the failure of
E. S. Dreyer & Co.’s bank. Then he
borrowed $20,000 from Foreman Bros,
bankers, placing another mortgage on
his factory. Finally the failure came,
and the disaster drove Mrs. Luetgert to
the verge of insanity. Later the woman
became insane, the lawyer said, and
wandered away.
The life of Luetgert was briefly
sketched. He arrived in America 32
years ago without a dollar, counsel said,
and by industry and thrift had built up
an enormous business. He made 3,000,-
000 pounds of sausage a year and sold it
all over this country and Europe. Of-
ten there were 100,000 pounds of meat in
the factory at one time, and the sales
from the factory to local consumers av-
eraged $150 per day. Nineteen years
ago Luetgert married Miss Louise Bick-
nez, the woman he is said to have killed.
She was his second wife. They had
four children, two boys and two girls,
the latter of whom are now dead. Ex-
Judge Vincent denied that the couple
lived unhappily. He said their lives
were not a continuous honeymoon, but
the couple lived as happily as people in
their station usually do.
Startling Promises.
Mr. Vincent said the defense will
bring witnesses to show that Mrs.
Luetgert’s disappearance was not a
shock, nor in fact a surprise, as she
had announced her intention of going
away to the neighbors and had disap-
peared before; that she was not dead
at the time the state has attempted to
show she: was boiling in the vat, and
that witnesses will testify that have
seen her alive since the night of May 1,
and the presumption Is that she is still
living. He added that the presence of
the rings in the vat will be satisfacto-
rily explained; that they are not the
rings of Mrs. Luetgert, but rings sub-
stituted by some one who wished to
harm the accused man; that the bones
in evidence are not human bones, and
that the testimony of the state’s ex-
perts was sufficient to cast doubt on
their character, and that it will be
shown beyond doubt that the bones are
those of lower animals. '
The attempt to show a motive for
murder, he said, was on trumped up
evidence. and even if it were credible
testimony it would not be sufficient to
constitute such proof.
“The boiling in the vat the night of
May 1,” added Lawyer Vincent, “will
be satisfactorily explained by Witnesses
who will corroborate the prisoner in
saying that he was making, or at-
tempting to make, soap that night.”
Mr. Vincent added that the testimony
to the effect that Mrs. Luetgert was
seen to go to the factorythat night is
that point will be impeached.
During the afternoon session the
formal evidence for the defense was be-
gun. -

They Hold a Mass Meeting to Condemn
the Action—Attitude of Portuguese
Residents—Arrival of Senator
Morgan and His Party.
San Francisco, Sept. 23.—The steamer
City of Peking, which arrived in port
and was at once placed in quarantine,
brought advices from the Hawaiian Is—
lands up to and including the 14th inst.
The senate convened on Sept. 8, but.
owing to the death of ex-Senator G.
Rhodes, president of the legislature, ad-
journed until the following day.
The session of the 9th lasted less than
two hours, but in that time the annexa-
tion treaty was presented and ratified
without a dissenting vote. Commenting
upon the unprecedented vote of the up-
per chamber, The Iuso of Sept. 13, the
neWspaper organ of the Portuguese res-
ident‘s, said:
“The senate of the republic of Hawaii
has unanimously ratified the convention
which cedes Hawaii to the United
States, not only with all mercantile
property and doubtful title, but also
tying up privileges which about 5,000
voters of the Portuguese colony enjoy
and have enjoyed and which can only
be recovered if the congress of theUnit~
ed States, from a. sense of justice and
equity, Shall concede to us the privilege
to which we have a right.”
Opponents \Vill Fight.
The session was closed on the 10th, to
be convened again next March in regu-
lar session.
Notwithstanding the action of the
senate, the opponents of annexation are
continuing their fight, and the leaders
of the movement express the utmost
confidence in their ability to defeat an-
nexation. Before, thc'steamer left a call
had been issued for a mass meeting to
be held onrthe 18th, and the indications
were that it would be one of the largest
ever held in the islands.
Some of the annexationists hoped to
be able to have Senator Morgan address
the meeting, with the object of chang-
there was little likelihood of their D18“.
meeting with success. The stear. ship
Australia, having on board United
States Senator John T. Morgan of Ala-
bama and Representatives A. S. Perry.
J. G. Cannon, H. C. Loudenslagez- and
J. A. Tawney. arrived in Honolulu on
the 14th. They were accorded a. warm
welcome. Senator Morgan stood the
voyage exceedingly well and was in
excellent health. The Hawaiian Star
of the following day published this in-
terview with him:
"I have nothing of definite nature to
say to the newspapers now, as I must
first have an opportunity to study the
situation from a new point of View.
You may say that I am predisposed in
favor of annexation. I have been an
annexationist practically for 30 years-—
ever since the question has been agi-
tated.”
The Anxious Portuguese.
W The following translation of another
article published in the Iuso shows the
alarm with which the Portuguese sec-
tion of the population regardsannexa-
tion:
"If perchance annexation should be
consummated, which we doubt, the Por—
tuguese colony as a political factor
would cease to exist, because in the for—
eign press. both here and in the United
States, it has been indicated with suffi-
cient clearness that they fear the in-
fluence of the Portuguese vote in case
this privilege should be conceded to
them. Independence and a good gov-
ernment of Hawaii mean prosperity
for the colony. but annexation without
the privilege which we speak of means
ruin.”
The delegates who were chosen to the
American Union party convention have
completed their platform, which was to
be presented for adoption at the con-.
vention to be held on the evening of the
15th. The platform as arranged was
short and applied solely to island af—
fairs. One of the planks pledged the
party to annexation first, last and all
the time. T. M. B. Murray has called
for a. meeting of the American league
on the 14th to recognize the league.
The annexation treaty, which was
submitted to the United States senate
on June 16, but was not acted upon by
that body, provides for the cession to
the United States of all rights of sov-
ereigny over the islands and all public
land and property. Under it the islands
would constitute a territory of the Unit-
ed States, with a local legislature sub—
ject to a veto power vested in the presi-
dent. All the treaties of the United
States with other countries would be
substituted for those now in force with
Hawaii. The further immigration of
Chinese to the islands would be prohib-
ited and the laws of the United States
on the subject would be extended _to
Hawaii. The treaty provides for the
assumption by the United States of the
Hawaiian public debt of $4,000,000.
Prospector-s Still Going North.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. 23.—The steam-
ship Rosalie sailed for Skagguay and
other Alaskan ports with a passenger
list that indicates but little falling off
in the travel to the north. At Victoria
the Rosalie will pick up a number of
the Eugene’s passengers who wish to
go to Wrangel, and will try the Stickeen
river route to the Yukon. There was ‘a
noticeable change in the nature of out-
fits taken by prospectors, the Yukon
sled being conspicuous. -
Not Married to Archduke Franz.
‘Berlin, Sept. 23,—Maria Haussmann,
the former housekeeper of Herr Krupp,
the gun manufacturer, has written to
the Politische Tageblatt of Aix—la—Cha-
pelle saying that her husband is neither
an archduke nor a swindler, and that
there is no mystery connected with her
marriage. It was recently reported
that the Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
heir presumptive to the throne of Aus-
tria—Hungary, had married her.
