The Big Sausage Maker Claims That
He Is Being Persecuted.
He Declares the Police Bulldozed
Mary Siemmering by Threats,
But When They Tried the Sweat
box on Him He Stopped Them in
Short Order—Thinks Allport Quite
a Bone Expert — Believes His
Wife Is Alive, and Her Return
Would Not Surprise Him.
Chicago, October 9.—Adolph L. Luet
gert, inspired by memories of Chicago
Day, this morning gave out a fiery es
timate of the case the prosecution haa
made out against him. He gripped the
bars of his cell and swung his body to
and fro as he talked of police persecu
tion and “the l?ing evidence’’ of those
who testified against him. He was bitter
in his denunciation of the police and
Prof. George Dorsey, the chief osteo
logical witness against him.
•*I have kept quiet about what 1
thought of the case that was being
made out against me—expressed no
opinion during the trial because I
tnought by so doing I might injure
my case,’’ said Luetgert. “But now I
will say that in my opinion the case
of the State is weak. It is built upon
lies. Why, Frank Odorofsky and Frank
Dewandowsky, those two ‘Polacks,’
would swear to anything. Neither of
them worked for me the week ending
May 1. Odorofsky came to my factory
on Friday, April 30. I had nothing for
him to do and told him to come back
on Monday. He was not at the factory
again, and all the evidence he gave
about what he saw and did at the fac
tory on Saturday, May 1, was manufac
tured. I did try to make soap in that
vat. That is the absolute truth of the
matter. The soap washed out of the
vat and I gave up the job. I had in
tended to hire thirty men to scour the
sausage factory from top to bottom
and put it in first-class shape to be
sold.
"The police treated Mary Siemmer
ing shamefully. They persecuted her,
bulldozed her, and threatened her.
They tried it on me when I was first
placed under arrest, but I stopped them
in short order. They could not put me
in the sweat box. I knew my constitu
tional rights and informed Inspector
Schaak that he was not acting in the
capacity of a trial court and that I did
not have to answer any of his ques
Luetgert was upstairs in bed, is a base
falsifier. That fellow has not seen a
sober day in years. He used to come
into my factory intoxicated, and when
I ordered him away he’d say. ‘Don’t
drive me away, Luetgert; thrash me.’
He is an ingrate.
“Some people seem to think that
Luetgert’s brain is no good. They are
foolish. I remember things well. Peo
ple who are under obligations to me
went on the witness stand and swore
against me. Some time in the future I
may have something to say to these
people. Mrs. Johanna Leeb,' Fred Mil
ler and Diedrich Bicknese deliberately
falsified when they testified that Mrs.
Luetgert always treated her children
well. How' could they know? They
•only called at my house occasionally.
Dr. Dorsey, the bone expert, is a very
fresh young man. He thinks he knows
all about bones, but in my opinion Dr.
Allport has forgotten more about osteol
ugy man uorsey ever Knew.
“As I have often said before, I believe
my wife is s=till alive. I should not have
been surprised if she had entered the
court room any day during the long
trial now nearly over. She will be heard
from yet. and then all the people who
have lied about Luetgert will be shown
up to the world in the proper light. I
am an innocent man. My health an 1
happiness have been destroyed by an
unjust prosecution and my fortune—
the result of years of toil—has been
swept away. To-day, verging upon 60
years of age, 1 find myself almost pen
niless and in the deepest trouble that
can come to man. T would like to have
told my story to the jury, hut my coun
sel thought it better that I remain off
the witness stand. Reluctantly I fol
lowed their advtce. That is all I have
to say at this time.''

MEN WHO LOVED ON SIGHT.
One Wedding in Five Minutes and Another
Fops rn Meeting.
Stuart, Fla., October 9.—Captain Mc
Nulty picked a woman that would suit
him from a marriage paper, and wrote
to her. Several letters passed between
them with the result that at 10 o’clock
last night his affianced landed in his
arms at the depot. They had never
met, but were pleased, and at once re
paired to the station master’s house,
where in five minutes after the young
woman’s arrival they were made man
and wife. After the ceremony the br.de
and groom hied themselves to the Cap

PRETTY ROMANCE SPOILED.
Elwood. Ind., October 9.—A sensation
was created in the city last evening
when it became known that Peter Well
and his bride of ten days had separated.
Well and his aged wife were lovers in
youth, but were separated by fate, and
each married. Years rolled on. until
Mr. Well had buried two wives and
his youthful sweetheart had survived
three husbands. Ten days ago they
were married. Here the current trend
of novel stories ends, for Mr. Well and
his aged bride did not live happily.
Trouble over property interests is said
to have caused the estrangement, Mr.
Wellbeing quite wealthy. Both are

HON. ARTHUR SEWALL
Comments Entertainingly Upon the In
creased Prosperity Apparent.
Philadelphia, October 9.—Hon. Ar
:hur Sewall, of Maine, who was asso
ciated with William J. Bryan on the
presidential ticket last fall, arrived in
this city yesterday, accompanied by
tils wife. When spoken to on the claim
that there is a condition of increased
prosperity, Mr. Sewall said: “There
is, but it is politics. I imagine the con
dition of the crops in Europe would
have been the same if Bryan had been
elected. The increased business is cer
tainly due to the condition of affairs
abroad, and I am glad to see it. It is
part of my business here to see if we
cannot increase the number and ton
nage of our vessels.”
While disinclined to talk on the ,
mayoralty contest in New York, Mr. ;
Sewall said:
“It is no fight of mine, and I have no
doubt it will come out all right. If
Van Wyck is elected it will make the
national situation more complicated,
but if George is the successful candidate ,
it means Bryan’s nomination for Pres
ident.”
WALKED A CORPSE INTO SALOONS.
Medical Students Make a Night of It with
a Cadaver.
Cleveland, O., October 9— Forty stu
dents of the Cleveland Homeopathic
Medical College celebrated the opening
of the school last night by going to the
pickling vat where the cadavers are
kept, from which they nicked out the
body of a small man, a ..artender, who
had died of alcoholism.
They arrayed the body in white duck
trousers, a blue coat and a sloucheC
hat, and two of them, walking one on
either side, supported the ghastly reve

i of the Tenderloin and red-light saloons,
j and left a wake of hysteria and terror
behind them.
They were finally unable to longer

LUETGERT,
May Go Upon the S!age in a Play
Specially Written for Him—“The
Sausage Maker of Lake View.”
Chicago, October 9.—The Luetgert
trial has inspired a local playwright to
write a play entitjed “The Sausage
Maker of Lake View.” lfs premier
production will be given at a Milwaukee
i avenue theatre on-fLiuwftX, J?,'^hhu
principal male character is to be made
up to represent Luetgert Mrs. Luet
gert’s name does not appear in the cast
of characters.
The story of the play the author has
carefully shrouded in mystery, but
i some startling and realistic scenerv
representations are to be expected. He
insists, however, that the story told in
the four acts of the drama is not a
blood curdling melodrama, as might be
supposed from the title, but a bucolic
love tale.
if the play succeeds the ambitious au
| thor will try to secure for the title
role Mr. Luetgert himself, provided of
i course, the sausage maker is not con
victed.

IMPORTERS SUSTAINED.
The Dingley Rill Not Ketronctive—Govern
ment Must Pay Bark 9300,000.
New York, October 9.—Unless the
courts reverse the Board of General
Appraisers, importers whose goods
were entered at the custom house on
Saturday, July 24, before the signing of
the tariff act, will be able to collect
from the government the extra duties—
amounting to perhaps $300,000—they
were compelled to pay as a result of
the government's claim that the tariff
was retroactive and that it took effect
on the earliest possible moment of the
day on which it was signed.
The Board to-day sustained the pro
tests of the importers against the po
sition taken by the government, and
instructed collectors of customs to re
liquidate the entries accordingly.

kwful Sufferings of the Crew of an
Arctic Whaler.
Adrift on an Ice Floe—For Twelve
Days the Sixteen Survivors Suf
fered the Tortures of Hunger and
Cold — The Castaways Finally
Sighted and Rescued by the j
Thresher—A Tale of Woe From '
the Frozen North Brought by the j
Bonanza.
San Francisco, October 9.—The
Chronicle says that the fate of the
crew of the steam whaler Navarch, of
New Bedford, which was wrecked in
the Arctic on August 11, is no longer i
in doubt. The captain, his wife, and
the first and fourth officers, who sue- ,
ceeded in escaping from the vessel, ;
after she had caught in the ice, were i
picked up by the United States revenue
cutter Bear. The other 30 men on ;
board were supposed to have per- !
ished.
The news of the death of 14 of these
men and the rescue of the other 10
was brought to this city by E. H. Bias,
one of the survivors, who came down
on the Bonanza from Point Barrow.
Bias, who is at Portuguese, relates a
harrowing tale of suffering and starva
tion in the ice-bound north. Auer the
Navarch had been nipped by the ice
bergs, and the captain, his wife and
two of the officers had been fortunate
enough to reach open water in the gig,
the others stayed by their vessel as
long as possible. The food supply rap
idly became exhausted. Fourteen of
the men died, and finally the vessel
went to pieces and sank. The 16 sur
vivors tried to make their way south
over the ice, but soon found themselves
adrift on a floe.
For twelve days they floated with
the ocean currents, suffering the most
intense torture from hunger. They
were reduced to the verge of starva
tion and in their craving for food ate
the skins with which they were cloth
ed. Finally, after all hope of rescue
had been abandoned, the castaways
were sighted by the steam whaler
Thresher and rescued. They were
taken to Point Harrow^ and given
every care and attention. Bias was
brought to this city on the Bonanza
so that his eyes might be treated t>y
an oculist, his sight having been
seriously affected by the glare of the
mm,nn the ice. He was the third mate
the names oi tne members oi me
crew of the Navarch who were saved
are: First. Mate Blaine, Second Mate
Egan, Third Mate Dias, Fourth Mate
Reed, Boat Header Peter, and Steerers
Peter, Cora, Santos, Andrews, Silva
and Holmes. Charles Drower, agent
of the North American Fur Company,
was also among those rescued.
The following are known to hate
been lost: W. W. Whiting, steward;
John Hannis, cook; Thomas C. Lard,
fireman; John Sands, chief engineer;
M. J. Scanlan, assistant engineer;
Charles Thrasher, fireman, and ten
sailors. Those who were lost stayed
by the fragments of the ship, drifted
beyond human aid, and were never
picked up by any passing ships.

INSURGENTS STILL ACTIVE.
A Large Hotly of Cubans Crossed a Wry
ler Troclia.
New York, October 9.—The Herald
prints the following special cable from
Havana:
“A large body of Cuban rebels has
succeeded in forcing a passage through
the Jucaro-Moron t.oeha, in Camaguey.
This invading army, which comes from
the East, is said to be commanded by
Gen. Calixto Garcia. Other reports sav
that Gen. Maximo Gomez, who a short
time ago crossed the trocha from the
West, joined Garcia’s forces in Cama
guey, and together they started west
ward.
“The report 'that the Cuban forces
consist of the Oriental Infantry, the ;
Camaguey Cavalry ard three batteries
caused a stir here. It is said that tne
Cubans, flushed by their recent capture
of Victoria de las Tunas, where they
seized 1,000 rifles, more than 1,000,000
cartridges, two Krupp guns and 500
shells, will carry the bulk of their army
to the Western province.”

PASTURES DESTROYED
And Chicago's Milk Supply Threatened by
by the Prevailing l>ro'»1li.
Chicago, October 9.—Chicago is
threatened with a curtailment of her
milk supply in consequtnce of the
drought which has almost entirely de
stroyed the pastures of the surrounding
country. It is more than probable that
a rise to winter prices will be the re
sult. The effect of the drought is al
ready being felt by the milk dealers of
Chicago and vicinity. For the past
seven weeks the latter have been com
pelled to pay winter prices to the farm
ers for all of the product that was cot
previously contrated for. The farmers
claim that they are compelled to exact
higher rates than is usual at this time
of the year by the fact that they are
feeding their cows on winter rodder,
which is attended with more expense
, than pasturing.

PREACHER CHANGED 11IS BOOM.
i Landlord Was Slighted anti Caused olivet
Church War.
j Wilmington, Del.. October 9.—The ac
tion of the New Castle Presbytery at
Montgomery, pastor of Olivet Church,
of this city, has caused a commotion
among the Montgomery faction, which
is in cci trol of the church. Mr. Mont
gomery is young, handsome, unmarried
and a graduate of Princeton Seminary.
I One of the leading members said to
night that many of the Montgomery
people who have furnished the financial
backing of the church would withdraw
their membership and join other
churches. He says that the fight dates
from shortly af er Mr. Montgomery
came to Wilmington, several years ago.
Mr. Montgomery secured board with
one of the iead.ing men of the church,
and a short time later changed his
boarding place. The friends of the for

I this, and the war was carried into the

Mourners Witness Last Kiss—She
Waved Aloft Her Marriage Cer
tificate and Stopped the Burial,
Believing They Had Barred Her j
Out—Caused a Sensation, But I
Was Permitted to Have Her Way. i
Reading, Pa., October 9.—A scene, in- i
tensely dramatic and entirely unlook
ed for, was enacted at a new-made
grave in the Lutheran Cemetery this
afternoon. Mrs. Peter Eyrich, No. 2,
who had been separated from her hus
band for some time, and had just learn
ed that he was dead and about to be
burled, awaited the arrival of his fu
neral procession at the grave, and there,
in the midst of the mourners, she rush
ed up to the brink of the tomb, held
aloft her marriage certificate, and ex
claimed, in a voice loud enough cer
tainly for all present to hear:
“He is my husband and 1 have a
right to see him. Here is our marriage
certificate, signed by Rev. Mr. Stein
betz. who is the pastor in charge here
to-day.
WARNED THE UNDERTAKER.
Then Mrs. Eyrich confronted the un
dertaker and said:
“You had better not dare to lower
the coffin, as 1 have a right to see the
remains of my husband! It is true we
were separated, but we were never di
vorced.”
The now greatly excited woman
brushed several persons aside, made her
way to the coffin and demanded the un
dertaker to remove the lid. He obey
ed. and then followed one of the most
extraordinary scenes ever witnessed in
a graveyard. While the mourners stood
spellbound and aghast the widow, fair
ly beside herself with grief a»l anxiety,
stood gazing fixedly at the remains for
a moment, then, quickly stooping, kiss
ed the face of the dead man, sobbed
and became hysterical, and was only
calmed when Rev. Dr. Connor, who as
sisted at the funeral, gently spoke to
her, and assured her that there was no
! objection whatever to the gratification
of her melancholly desire.
NO FURTHER TROUBLE.
I Then t^e .burial services proceeded
j without disturbance, and other rela
' tives also viewed the remains once
1 more.
i Mrs. Eyrich subsequently claimed
that she had been informed that the
people with whom her husband had liv
att' nd the funeral, land for this reason
she had taken this extraordinary
! cottrse.
Mr. Eyrirh’s daughter by his first
1 wife, however, says that the fami'v did
• not refuse permission to Mrs. Eyrich to
' attend the funeral.
Henry Neismi’h is Kii’ei and His
Son Badly Wounded-Henry and
Robert Harris Attack Them With
Shotguns.
Moultrie. Ga., October 9.—As the re- '
suit of a four-handed duel fought on a
country road a few miles from, town
this afternoon, Henry Neismith is dead,
his son, Nathan Neismith, is wounded
and there is a great upheaval in a com
munity which has sent a mob of deter
mined men witn bloodhounds alter
loose who diu the shooting.
T.ie two Neismiths attended court at
this place to-oay and late In the after- 1
noon started to drive to their plantation, !
siiiateti about seven miles away. They |
were in a two-seated buggy and just 1
outside of town met another buggy con- 1
taining Henry Harris and his son, Rob- j
ert Harris.
As soon as the two parties came
within sight of eaea other the Harrises
produced shotguns and began blazing
away at the Neismiths. The latter
were wounded at the first fire, but leap
ed out of their buggy and, using the
vehicle as protection, drew revolvers
and returned the attack. In the fusil
lade of bullets which followed the elder
Neismith was killed and his son was
shot down.
Both of the Harrises were evidently
hit, for blood had leaked through the
bottom of their buggy and stained the
dust in the road. Thinking that their
opponents were dead, however, they!
whipped up their horses anu drove
away at full speed.
Young Neismith crawled to a farm
house and gave the alarm and the posse
was immediately formed to pursue the
Harrises. Over the dead body of Henry j
Neismith they swore to lynch the mur- j
derers if they caught them.
The shooting was the result of a fam
ily feud of long standing, which grew
out of an unsatisfactory marriage be- I
tween two members of the families
many years ago. Both have many
friends in the community, but the Nei
smith faction is a long ways in the ma
jority. T'ne sheriff with a small army j
of special deputies has started out to
head off the lynchers.

KILLED HERSELF FOR LOVE,
Young Woman, a Supposed Philadelphian,
Takes Acid.
Fishkill Landing, N. Y„ October 9.—
Last Sunday morning a pretty young
woman committed suicide by taking
carbolic acid. The woman boarded in
Gus Albert’s house of ill-repute at
Glenham, a suburb of this place. The
remains were interred by Mr. Albert,
and no clue as to her identity was left.
She passed by the name of Mae Gar
rison, or Gleason, and her act was due

a caller that night. A day before her
suicide the girls at the hotel had a
group picture taken. They are now
ready, and several photographs will be
sent out to inquiring people. The
young woman hinted that her home
was in Philadelphia. There now seems
to be good reason to believe the girl's
name is Patterson, as the appended
letter shows:

The Smart Set Still Out of the Oityi
Tennyson's Biography Shows Hit
Respect for Americans — They
Loaded Him With Pipes and To

Briefly Discussed—The Theatrical
Season—An American’s Success.
(Copyright. Associated Press.)
iAjndon. October 9.—The past week
has been a foretaste of winter with
frost and fogs. The majority of the
smart world remain in the country
while the Duchess of York has been
the only member of the royal family
in town. She has been an assiduous
visitor to theatres.
The biography of the late Lord Ten
nyson. the poet laureate, which is at
tracting so ranch attention just now,
is contained in two thick volumes full
of interest and repeatedly emphasizes
the poet’s regard for the United States
and his earnest desire that the parent
c. intry and its offshoot shall ever
dwell in unity. Writing to LongfeUaw,
Tennyson says: "We Englislr and ^
Americans should all be brothers as
none other among nations can be, and
some of us. come what may, will always
be, 1 trust.”
Tennyson's biographer writes that
Emerson. Whittier, Walt Whitman,
Lowell and Cliv^r Wendell Holmes
were counted among his friends and
that through them he kept alive a spirit
of kinship with their countrymen,
Americans, the biographer further says
not only loaded hint with appreciation,
but also loaded him with pipes. Writ
ing to tlie Duke of Argyll, in 1S67,
Tennyson said: "I am sorry I did not
see the Marquis of Tome, but I'll call
for the calumet sent me by longfellow.
It is odd that Americans always send
me pipes and tobacco, as if I mred for
nothing else in the world, and their
Tobacco is not my tobaooy, nor are their
T%nes my pipes, birdseye ami cutty be
ing more to my fancy than the costlier
