it would recommend to the count ) attorncv

bv many that ho will never be convicted
In addition to this fact , the bond upon which
the shortage occurred has mysterious , ! ) dis
appeared , and many argue that it would be
better to recommend that the case bs dis
missed than not to receive the $1,000 There

to about 100,000 acres , and that there will
bo about an equal amount leased In other

So far the bonuses received have aggregated
a little over $5,000 , but the amount received
In rents Is not as large as the public has
been led to believe. For the leases alread )
made the state has received $3,500 , and on
the first day of January will receive about
the same amount as the first paments for
the ) ear 189S The paments are duo on
January 1 and ! July 1 of each ) ear , and the
linds leased this season have mostly been
taken since July 1 , BO that the payments have
not been for a full half ) car For the leases
which will likely bo made before the end ot
the year under the present plans of the land
commibslouer , the state will receive about
$ "i,000 in bonuses and $2,000 in rent money.
Then , In January , If all the new land holders

CHICAGO. Sept. 8 For the first time In
tlic history of the Luetgert trial no curious
crowd toilny blocked the ontranres to the
criminal court building or Judge Tilth Ill's
court room prior to the morning session of
court Ihe public seems to lm\o learned
after several tiresome' lessons that It Is use-
Ics to seek for entrance without a reasonable
excuse other than curiosity. In tlio court
loom , the usual crowd of spectators gath
ered , the woman far outnumbering thu men
as usual.
The big prisoner was brought into court
earlier tlmn usual and was In his scat In
front of IJalllft Ilccd before Judge or Jury en
tcrcd the court room Luctgort plainly showed
the effects of his conflncmcut and thu warm
weather , and his features were mo > e < han
usuall ) wan. The Jury also seemed to fed thu
effects of the several ilnjs of not weather and
the two weeks of confinement which they iin\c
endured.
The first witness called was II P.
Krtigor , the druggist who sold Watchman
frank lllalk the medicine which Luetgert
ordered his emplojo to purchase The testi
mony was Intended more ns corroborative
of the watchman's statement as to tlmo.
for the purpose of showing the hours between
which thu alleged murder was supposed to
have been committed.
The second witness was Ir Charles 11 ,
Gibson , the chemical expert , who was placed
ou the stand for rc-dlicct examination In
regard to his analjsls of fleshy substances
and slime removed from the vat where the
state Is attempting to prove the body of the
wife was placed.
GIHSON DISAPPOINTING.
Gibson's testimony proved to bo of little
value to the state Although the witness
freely admitted that the bits of llcshj sub
stances and organic matter taken from the
vat wcro similar to human flesh , bo was
equally candid In his admission upon cross-
examination by Attorney Vincent , chief
counsel for the defense , that the flesh was
as similar to the flesh of an ) other animal
as It was to the human Trof Gibson
testified that a body could be dlslntcgiated
In the manner charged by the prosecution ,
but denied that the bones would be affected
In the manner that thu state has endcuored
to establish The witness testified that the
bones would be merel > softened at the ends ,
but would not be dissolved The lawjers for
the defense were high ! ) pleased at the result
of the crosi-examlnatlnn and felt that their
case had gained as a icsult of the evidence
Prof Mark Dclafnntaluo a Swiss chemist ,
was next put on the btand Prof Debfon-
talno was educated enl > In thu technical
terms of English and It was Impossible foi
him to so couth his language that the jury
could comprehend In addition to his de
fect In the manner of his testlmon ) the
wltnebs was possessed of a very fault ) dcllv-
ui ) , and his low tones could hardl ) be dis
tinguished by the court and lawyers , who
were very near him. However , his testi
mony was necessary to the case of the state
as a witness , as without this story of ex
perts neither the manner of Luetgert's sup
posed murder nor the fact of her death can
bo established.
Testimony concerning bones was the chief
portion of the ov Idence submitted by Prof.
Delafontalne The bits of bone which the
police gathered from the refuse pile where
the ashes of the furnace were said to have
been dumped were submitted to the
scrutiny of the learned chemist , who readily
answered jes as to whether they were
human bones Other of his answers were
so vague and uncertain as to be valueless
as evidence Several times the court at
tempted to have the witness define himself
as to certain tcims and expressions , but
such attempts were futile The chemist
gave It as his opinion that a body could be
dissolved in caustic potash , heated to the
boiling point. In the space of three or four
hours , nothing but the bones and some of
the ligaments and cantllage remaining However -
over , hu would not commit himself further
than had Dr. Gibson , who preceded him on
the stand.
stand.MIGHT
MIGHT IK HUMAN FLESH.
The prosecution could not diaw from Prof
Delafontalne the assertion that the bits of
flesh were human flesh. 'Ihey might bo
human , but they might also be the flesh
of an animal. The bones , he was sure , were
human bones , but regarding the flesh , he
was very guarded and careful In his state
ments , lie will tomorrow morning be turned
over to the defense for cross-examination.
At no tlmo during the day did the de
fendant display emotion , not even when the
big dry goods box with Its gruesome con
tents of flesh and bones was placed near
him Ho handled the gunnysacks and In
spected with curious glances the bits of
flesh and bono which were passed gingerly
from attorney to attorney , but at no time
did his hand tremble or the look of ordinary
Interest give way to pallor or an averted
glance. ( Innocent or guilty , the verdict of
all Is that Luetgert is possessed of more
nerve than any other man who has ever been
trltd foi murder in the precincts of the
criminal court building.
The attorneys for the defense continue In
their confident attitude , and assert that when
the prisoner is acquitted , and they declare
that when ho Is free a number of damage
suits are to be commenced. They Intend
that these who have "manufactured evi
dence , " as they put It , shall suffer for the
wrong which they say has been done their
client.
TESTIMONY CONCERNING HONES.
The prosecution tomorrow will Introduce
evidence to prove that fully 90 per cent of
the bones which have so far been Introduced
Into the trial are those of dogs and sheep *
Then it will be shown that the remaining 10
per cent arc human bones It will bo shown
that the dog and sheep bones were taken
from the place where the bones were usually
thrown The human bones , It will bo shown ,
wore taken up from the street. The prose
cution will endeavor to show , and claims It
will show , that extra precautions were taken
to place the human bones where they would
not readily bo found.
The state's attorney has In hla possession
what bears a close resemblance- a chin
bane , sockets of teeth being plainly visible.
It Is doubtful , however , whether the experts
will declare this to bu a bono of a human
being In all human possibility the state
will rest Itu case tomorrow night
