Liars and Ingrates.
Chicago, Ont. 11.—Adolph T>. Luet
gert. tho sausage maker on trial for
the murder of his wife, said this morn
ing in an interview in jail:
"I have kept quiet about what I
thought of the case that was being
made out against me—expressed no
opinion during the trial—because I
thought by so doing I might injure my
cash, But now I will say that in my
opinion the case of the state is wholly
built upon lies. Why, Frank Odor
ufsky and Frank Lewandowsky, those
two ‘Pollacks,’ would swear to any
thing. They are liars, pure and simple.
| Neither of them worked for me the
week ending May 1. Odorafsky came
to my factory on Friday, April 30. I
had nothing for him to do, and told
him to come back again on Monday.
He was not at the factory again, and
all the evidence he gave about what
he saw and did at the factory on Sat
urday, May, 1, was manufactured. I
did try to make soap in that vat. It
is the absolute truth of the matter.
The soap washed out of the vat and I
gave up the job. I had intended to
hire three men to scour the sausage
factory from top to bottom and put it
in first class shape to he sold. The
police treated Mary Sieramering
shamefully. They bulldozed and
threatened her. They tried it on me
when I was first placed under arrest,
but I stopped them in short order.
They could cot put me in the sweat
box. I knew my constitutional rights,
and told Inspector Schaack that he
was not acting in the capacity of a
trial court, and that I did not
have to answer any of his
questions. He dropped me then.
Fnlheelr. who swor#> thnt. Mni-w
Siemmering told him on Friday that
Mrs. Luetgert was upstairs in bed, is
a base falsifier, That fellow has not
6een a sober day in years. He used to
come to my factory intoxicated and
when I ordered him away heV say:
‘Don’t drive me away, Luetgert-.
thrash me.’ He is an in grate. borne
people seem to think that Luetgert's
brain is no good. They are foolish.
1 remember things well. People 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 Leeban, Fred Miller
and Diedrich Biclcnese 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. Ho thinks he
knows all about bones, but in my es
timation Dr. Walter H. Allport has
forgotten more about osteology
than Dorsey ever knew. As I have
often said before, I believe my wife
is still 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 peo
ple who have lied about Luetgert will
be shown up to the world in their
proper light. I am an innocent man.
My health and happiness have been
destroyed by an uujust prosecution
and my fortune—the result of years of
toil—has been swept away. To-day,
verging on CO years of age, 1 find my
self almost penniless and in the deep
est trouble that can come to man. 1
would like to have told my story to
the jury, but my counsel thought it
better that I remain off the witness
stand. Reluctantly I followed their
advice. That is all 1 have to say at
this time."

WEYLER RECALLED,
General Blnnoo Appointed Governor Gen*
ernl ot Cnbn.
Madrid, Oct. 11 —The cabinet has
decided upon the immediate recall of
General Weyler from Cu ba. A decree
will be issued appointing Captain Gen
eral Blanco y Arenas, marquis of
Pena* Plata, governor gene-al of the
island. The queen regent will sign
the decree to-day.
General Blanco will be accompanied
by General Arderine as vice governor
of Cuba, by General Gonzalo Painals,
as chief of staff, and Generals Spando,
Bernal and CannaVou.
According to El Heraldo, 20,000 re
inforcements will accompany General
Blanco to Cuba.
In the course of the cable message
sent by Captain General Weyler to
Premier Sagasta, placing his post in
Cuba at the disposal of the govern
ment, he said:
*If the functions with which they
bad intrusted me had been merely
those of governor general of Cuba, I
should have hastened to resign; but
the twofold character of my mission,
and my duty as commander-in-chief in
the face of the enemy, prevent my
tendering a resignation.
“Nevertheless, although I can rely
upon the absolute, unconditional sup
port of the Autonomist and Constitu
tional parties, as- well as upon public
opinion, this would be insufficient
without the confidence of the govern
ment. This confidenca would be
necessary to enable me to put an end
to the war which has already been
virtually concluded from our lines at
Juraeo to Cape Antonio.”
Benor Sagasta replied:
“I thauk yon for your explanation
and value your frankness. I wish to
assure you that the government re
cognizes your services and values
them as they deserve; but it thinks
a change of policy, in order to suc
ceed, requires that the authorities
should be at one with the ministry
This has nothing to do with the con
fidence felt in you by the government,
-for the Liberals have always said that
the responsibility for a given policy
does not fall upon those who carry it
out, but upon the government inspir
ing it. I shall communicate your com
munication to the government short
ly ”
Captain General Ramon Iilanco y
Arenas, who will succeed Captain Gen
eral Valerano Weyler as governor gen
eral of Cuba, has had his chief admin
istrative experience in the Philippine
Islands. lie has been described as the
“softest hearted soldier of Spain,”
and his whole career indicates his dis
position to employ mild rather than
violent measures.
LILY LANGTRY’S TRIUMPH.
Tlio Prince of Wales Rebukes tlie New
market Stewards—Amends Made.
London, Oct. II.—At Newmarket
last week, according to report, the
Prince of Wales noticing Mrs. Lang
try’s absence from the Jockey club in
closure, asked for an explanation from
the stewards. Upon this being forth
coming, the prince dismissed it as
being quite inadequate in view of Mrs.
Langtry’s position as a horse owner
and as a generous supporter of the
turf.
The upshot was, still according to
the story, that Mrs. Langtry was in
vited to resume her usage of the in
closure, but she, it appears, was an
gry at the manner in which the in
vitation was conveyed to her and
refused to re-enter the inclosure un
P personally invited by one of the
stewards. This, it would seem, was
finally done.
Mrs. Lane try denies that she pro
poses to go to California in November
to be married to Prince Us ter hazy.
She declares that there is no truth in i
the reports of her engagement to the |
prince. I

Teller said:
"I have all along said that Franca
might ba willing to open her mints,
but that she would ask more conces
sions to silver than Great Britain
would be willing to grant, and so the
conference would come to naught.
Moreover, I believe even if England
should open the mints of India to the
free coinage of silver as France re
quests, and France should open her
mints, and the Bank of England
should hold one-fifth of its reserve iu
silver, the present administration
would do nothing for silver in this
country.”
