CMnago. Sept. 22. Ex-Judge W. A.
Vincent eSed all theories at to what the
Laetgert deftwM- wonld be by putting tbe
matter oisarly before the Jury in an address
lawrtBg daring the entire forenoon and part
of tins afternoon.
He began by declaring that he would he
tltie to allow the Jury to take the
cat wiihoat making any further fight, but,
Latsgeit. he wild, would not consent to
t bis. wttihiasrlH! deof tits remarkable story
pt before, not only the court, but the
P-apie at terse, who have heard only the
ullqgattous f tiie prosecution.
It was aduHUed that Bialfc and Odoroff
cld, employes of the stowage naker, had
told rUc troth in detail under the intcr
rogaUo of Mr XJcEwen andMr Dineeit.
The presence of the potash in the vat
and bone- mixed with sediment were the
TOS-tt, the attorney stated, of Luetgert's
attemjrt to make ctft soap on tbe night
or May 1. He dwelt Ug on tiie open
manor in wirich all prcpaiatimi were
made- He saiu he firmly believed that
Mrs. Letgert ww, living and would some
day retwra.
GoMCieuieo of tbe Jury," he -aid, in
coarlpsfcnt, "v. e have no doubt In our
niinds what the verdict will be."
Ex-Judgr Adams A- Goodrich and his
partner, Ralph H. Dradley, Luetgert's
burftiejss attorneys, testified tliat Luetgert
lolrt titem after hit wife's disappearance
that she had left home, and that he
thought she was with relatives in or
near Chicago, lie hated to report her
ab-ence to the police, as he felt that pub
lloation would le a disgrace, and tliey
adt'ised l'lu not u do it at the time, as
It would Injure Ms chaneesof raising money
to settle his business troubles.
Adoiph Elandt, an old employe of the
Luctgert family, testified that he rolled
two barrels of grease and one filled with
bones, mo4Jj chopped up, into tin- base
ment, May 1, and left them by the vat,
acting under Luetgert's orders, lie saw
the potash solution in the vat.
On Monday the barrels and vat were
empty Ills inference was that Luetgerc
was experimenting at soaprnakiug that
night. "Witness, said that Mrs Luetgert
had told him several times dnriug tlut
week fiat she intended to leave home,
as the basin or was ruined and bhe coulo
not Iwar to have people pointing at her
as a liankiupts vnfe.
Rosa Gneith, seventeen years of ng-j,
eald that she was with Emma Schlmpke
the nlglrt of May 1; tliat they did not
eee Luetgert and his wife enter the fac
tory that night, and that Emma had ad
mitted to her in the hearing of others,
nnseen by Emma, that she had svorn
fahwlr- She urged witness to swear as
she did. Cross-examination was deferred
until tomorrow morning.

NO HOOM FOR DEMOCRATS.
Nutionnl Republican Anti-Civil Serv
ice League Has a Say-
The National Republican Anti-Civil Serv
ice League met at the Hotel Emrlch last
night, with President A. M. Ciapp in the
chair. A resolution was passed that all.
Republican clerks be admitted to the
league upon the payment of $5, which
would cover the cost of all literature
supplied Ly the league.
C. H. Ellis, treasurer of the league,
made an energetic speech, in which he
denounced the civil service law as un
RcpuMlcan and un-American. He charged
that it wa bad business policy to employ
Democrats to help run a Republican
administration.
Edward Hughes, of Pennsylvania, ex-
prcsldent of the Miners' Federation of
America, was the next speaker. He said
he was not well posted on the cilvil service
rules, but he was well enough posted to
know tliat he was opposed to it He had
come to "Washington to becure appoint
ment to an important office, and he did
not want the audience to understand that
he was opposed to civil service rules simply
because he failed to secure the appoint
ment. He said tliat he came from Wales,
whore he had seen the civil service idea
worked out in practice. He was a Re
publican, he said. He was rocked In i
Republican cradle by a Republican mother
He ended on all good Republicans to
join with those present, and crush that
which was wrong, the civil service. He
said about the only believers in the effi
cacy of the civil service law were those
wiK) wei c In office. Many Democrats were
In office.
"Think of it," said Mr. Hughes, "a Re
publican Administration with a lot or
Democratic officeholders."
Mr. HughCb compared the laws enacted
ostensibly tor the benefit of the laboring
people with lawb for a similar purpoe
in England, much to the advantage of the

Insnrnnce Companies.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept 22. Eugene Moore,
late Slate auditor, yesterday afternoon
pleaded guilty to the charge of em
bezzlement of $23,000, being money col
lected from insurance companies during
his four years' term of office.
His attorneys filed a motion for a rest

by paying the money to himself Moore
contends that he Is answerable to the
insurance companies only.

The ashes and gnrliage are now being

of the New Orleans Sanitary Company will
be used for cremation purpose.
The sanltoiy officers are having a hard
time enforcing the quarantine laws among
the more ignorant ola-ses. The yellow
fever f las are constantly blng torn down
and seveial health officers have been as
saulted. The court have announced their
intention to soverely punish any interfer

There arc now 258 persons at the Fon

The doctors In Mobile have decided to

Levy, who died In Biloxi today, is a

TAMMANY PAYORS SILVER
Leaders Insist That the Chicago
Platform Is Paramount.
Deniosrntie Candidate for Mayor of
New York Most Bq u Devotee of
the Party Principles.
New York, Sept. 22. Tammany leaders
received word from John C. Sheehan
tonight to ascertain from tneir Immediate
followers ir Sipreme Court Justice Leon
ard A. Gicgerich would be favorably re
ceived as the Democratic candidate Tor
mayor of Greater New York in the city
convention on September 30. If there
were any objections to Justice Giegerich,
the leaders were requested to sound their
followers as tc the availability or Delos
McCurdy.
Leader Sheehanis now convinced that it
would be unwise to nominate a mono
metallism like ex-Mayor Uugh J. Grant,
for the reason that all the reports received
by Mr. Shcehan today are to the erfect
that the rank and file or Tamilian y Hall
will ant tolerate a policy which smothers
the Chlcigo national platform of 1806.
Mr. Sheehan, it was declared, is now
hunting a candidate ror major who will
not offend the rank and file The present
proposition is to nominate such a man and
Insist for him that he voted for Bryan
last year, and tneu quit, saying nothing
about the Chicago national platform of
1896.
Judge Parker's nomination by the gold
Democrats was not a unanimous one, for
.here were speeches made and several
votes cast In opposition.
Most, of the opposition came from up
country members, who did not like Judge
Parker's letter to Chairman Elliott Dan
rorth, or the regular Democratic State
comtnl'tee, announcing that he had voted
for Bryan last year. Their objections were
overridden by the members of the commit
ter from Greater New York, who were in
a big majority, having several proxies for
county members.
