CHICAGO , Oct. 19. Another night ot suspense
penseIs ahead of the defendant In thu Luel-
gcrt case At 9 o'clock tonight the Juiy had
Rons to bed on cots , which wcie placed in
the court room , and It was announced by
Judge Tuthlil that oven though by one chance
in a million , the Jurorj should wake up and
agree upon a verdict , there would be no an
nounccment , and thu court room would under
110 circumstance- ) opened until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
A few minuted bctoio 8 o'clock Judge Tnt-
hlll appeared at the criminal court building
nnd being admitted alone by thu bailiffs at
the entrance , ho passed quickly up stairs
Hiving positive Instructions that nobody
ohould be admitted to the building undci
' any circumstances ) . Within n few nitnuUs
after he had Issued these instructions Attoi-
ney I'halen , the Junior coui.sel for the de
fence , put In an uuioarancu and demanded
admission He was piomptly refused , and U
took all his power of persuasion and argu
ment to get past the guard at the door.
Judge Tuthill went directly to the court
room , wherehe was told by the bailiffs In
charge of the Jury that several of the Juij-i
men were ilmost exhausted by the ordeal ! o |
'
which they had been subjected during the
last thirty hours , and that If they wcie not
allav.cd some test It would ccrtalnlj result I
In some of them becoming 111 The Jurj also
sent word that there was no Immediate pros
pect of an agiecmcnt , and under the circum
stances , Ihi' judge gave orders that they be
permitted to drop the case and go to sleep
The cots were quick ! ) diaggcd Into the court
loom , and within a few minutes every Juior
was stretched out at full length and all cou-
olderatlon of the case was off until tbe >
should wake In the morning
NO AGREEMENT YET.
Judge Tuthill , after giving directions that
all things possible should be done for the
comfoit of the Jury , left the building for his
"They have not agreed as jet , " ho said
when ho left the court house , "and when I
became convinced that there was little pros
pect of their doing so and saw how weary
some of them were , I told them to go to
sleep and trj to agree In the moinlng. There
would be no use Keeping them up all of the
night because In the first place two or three
of them would In a short time be utterly in
capacitated by fatigue and no agreement
could ever be obtained from men who are
nervous from loss ot sleep and exhausted
with aigument When I mine to the csurt
tonight I had no Idea that a verdict would
bo reached , but I was anxious to do all I
could for tl'e comfort of the Jurors. That
twas real ! ) the cause of mj visit to the buildIng -
Ing tonight There Is , of course , no llkell-
bood that they will wake up tonight ana
reach an agreement , and oven If they should
I shall not come down to hear It before 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. There Is no
chance whatever of any veidlct being glvan
by the Jury before that hour. "
Stato'u Attorney Denci n remained In his
o 111 co until all hope of a verdict tonight hud
been abandoned , and then ho closed up his
roams and went home. Ho In still hopeful of
n verdict , but natural ! ) lookn upon a disa
greement as thu most likely outcome.
There were rumors of all kinds afloat dur
ing the evening , all of them being to the
effect that the friends ot Luetgcrt on the
Jury were weakening H was known during
the day that the vote stood 8 to 4 and to
night the rumors were that It was ten for
the death penalty and two for acquittal. A
later story was that II stood eleven for hang
ing and one for acquittal.
LUKTGERT IS ANXIOUS.
Over In the Jail Luetgcrt was during the
evening anxiously awaiting word from the
Jury room Ho tried as usual to keep up an
appearance of Indifference and , us usual ,
made a failure of It.
"If tltoy don't agree , " ho said , "I get ball
and I v\llf bo out of thin I can give ball
for a million If they want tlrnt much My
wlfo Is living somewhere , but I admit she
IB having a lot of fun with mo at presen' .
( There Is ono thing sure , " the prisoner said ,
with great posltlvcnesa , "there will be no
conviction In this case It will either bo an
acquittal or a disagreement. "
Asked where bo obtained his Information ,
to smiled and said. "Oh , I know , you go
long. I won't bo convicted though , you can
bet on that. "
At 10 o'clock the criminal court building
was dark us a pocket. The crowd which
lud hung nrpund Us entrance during the
'
eaillcr part o't the evening had disappeared
A solitary bailiff sat at the foot of tha sU'.ts
.leading to the second story , another at tl > o
'upper end of the flight , two moro were at the
rtco * of the court room , and two moro were
in&ldu keeplnif watch over the sleeping Jury-
| l jnen The oplnlt n around tbo criminal court
tonight was that all chance of a verdict has
dlsap , oicd and the result Is practically cer
tain to be a disagreement. It Is cousldercd
] ) osslblc ml even probable that the state
nil ) have nine or ten ot the Jurymen and the
defense the remainder. The cha'ncrs to
i night , however , seem to favor a disagree
I iiuMit of eight for conviction and four fo
1 acquittal
Juut before retiring for the night , the
Jury took another ballot , the vote standing
nlne < for conviction and three for aequlttal
The four Jurors who have been standing ou
j for acquittal are Ilchmlllcr , Harbor , Hola
bird and Harley , The two latter are stll
for acquittal but either Ilelunlllor or Haiber
luvo couo over to the state. There Is mucl
{ ( rimg agatrtt Harley among the Juroru
who favor the death penalty. They say h
will not argue the case In Any way but stick
solidly for Lutgert.
ATTEMPTED JURY URIHINQ.
Two letters offering bribes tu the foreman
ot the jury la Uio Luotgcrt case have been
received by Judge Tuthill and are now In
the possession of the state's attorney. The
amount offered Is $1,000. Both letters arc
signed George Atrlll. State's Attorney le-
necn Is not disposed to regard the attempted
bribery seriously , but Inspector Scruack ami
Assistant State's Attorney McEwan kok
upon the matter with suspicion. The first
letter was received last Monday morning. It
was dated October 1C , the day upon which
It wan originally believed the case would go
to the Jury. H reads

The second letter Is under date of October
IS and Is also addressed to the foreman of
the Luetgcrt Jury. It Is as follows :

Judijc Tuthill opens all mall sent to the
j Jurors and In this way these letleis fell Into
his hcadi * . His honor Is Inclined to regard
the letters as a hoax , as Is also Mr Dcnccn.
In fact , tl.o state's attorney thinks the let

| NEW YORK Oct 19. "Claim everything"
, has seemingly bepn adopted ns the motto of
many of the political master mecnan'cs 011
Now You rotthe campaign The most I
oweeplng claim is tt.at made by Messrs.
She-chin and Ciokcr representing the Tarn-1
many organization , and which has the pr.ic- ,
tleal endorsement of the betting men about (
Un.n , who ha\o all along been offe Ing odds
on Van Wyck. The claim , ho\\e\er , that
the rammaii } ticket v\lll rccehe 2HO.OOO out
of the 175 000 votes registered In Greater New
York Is scoutcl by other party leaders
Ne\t to Tammanj the greatest disnlaj of
confidence Is at republican headquarters ,
vvhcie there seems to be a genuine bslloP tint
General TracejI11 win Seth Low's man
age s profess to be confident and those of
Geoige to be satisfied
Whatever may be the actual belief of
the leaders , there Is no disposition to al
low tlip battle to go by default. There are
In progress nightly 300 to COO political meet
ings This Includes , of course , the minor
gatherings In assembly district and ward
club rooms. It Is asserted that for the ic-
malnlnK fortnight of the campaign the
Tiacy leaders have arrinrcd for an average
ot 200 meetings per night , at each of which
there v\ill be a full complement of speak
er : .
A reminder of the widespread Interest
shown in the campaign of last fall is the
work ot women , either organlred Into clubs
or acting independently. Thus far General
Tiacy and .Mr. Geoige seem to have the
csll In the favor of the feminine portion of
the population , and many of the McKlnlcy
and Uryan women's clubs of 1S9G are' again
to the fore.
Hlchard Croker spent a hair hour at Tam
many hall toJay. His views were asked on
the subject of disciplining certain old demo
cratic leaders In Klnga county who have
th'eatened to cut Van Wyck. Mr. CioVer
advised against action.
"What's the use ot Interfering ? " he said
"If they arc angry , that would make them
angilci still. " Speaking of some Tammany -
Itcs who had gone over to the Cltl/ens > '
union , he said"It is a singular fact that
men who are kicked out ot Tammany all
become reformers. "
Mr Croker Frolic hlghlj of the value ot
newspaper publicity. He > commented upqn
the faot that more support was shown ti
p lilt than to the most lmnas loned address
oP anj speaker. Mr Croker thought It n
mistake to bring sp ° akcTs from outside of
New Yolk to tell votcis what they ought
to do In a municipal campaign.
Hcniy George was again In n reminiscent
mood today. It grow out of an Illusion tn
the question of veracity which has arisen
between himself and ex-Comptroller Ivlns
over the miyo-nlty campaign of 18SC and
related to the part taken in that canvass by
Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn , which resulted
In Dr. McGl > nn's suspension from the
priestly office Mr. George said that he went
to Aichblshop Corrlgan to plead for Dr. Mc
Glynn , The archbishop was very Impatient ,
he sild , "and would not listen to my cx-
p'anatlon , which I fled to make clear was
not In any way antagonistic to the Catholics
or the doctrine ot the Catholic church. Ho
would not listen You know how thoao
people are Tammany ran the archcplscopal
college at that time "

dignation of our citizens , The uturpatlons
of the rights of our municipality and Its people

that they cannot bo too strongly rebuked. A

As soon as the roll was called. General

sired to introduce a lesolutlon before any
other business should be ti insacted. Ho
dcclaicd that action on this resolution laid
at the bise ot the succe.ss of the enterprise )
In which all present weie Interested. Ho
made a lengthj npeech expressing regret
th.it the dissensions In the oiganl/atlon had
glined publicity. Ho disclaimed appearing
as the champion of elthei Geraldlno or Mau-
agci Rosewater , but declared that the expo
sition did not depend for Its success upon
anj one man. Chaigcs hail been preferred
against Geraldlne , an 1 If these were true
ho should bs discharged without delay. Ho
reviewed the Investigation by llio special
committee and the conclusion of the com
mittee , iu which he cxpiosseil the greatest
confidence. He said the fight was still going
on , and confessed to the greatest amac- ,
ment when Informed by the sccietary ot the
hrnall amount of subscriptions paid In dur
ing the last month. He declared harmony
must be rcstoud , and to bring this about
offered the resolution ho had prepaicd.
RESOLUTION OK COMPROMISE.
The resolution was preceded 1iy a Ions
preamble , expressing regret at the conflict
between these charged with carrjlng on Iho .
exposition ; endorsed the action of the execu
tive committee In appointing the special
committee to Investigate the charges prc-
feried agalntt Qeraldlno , and expressed the
conviction that the findings of the special
dommltteo wore just and tuio .and worthy of
credit and belief The resolution approved
the findings of the special committee and
alllrmed the confidence of the Heard of Direc
tors In the1 president and meiibers of the
executive committee , expressing the con
viction that If mistake ! had hanncned thcv
had been of mlnoi Importance , and declaring
ino Intention of the Hoard of Directors to
hold up thu hands of the committee and to
help It to carry on the work which means
so much for the state and the community.
Manager Rosewater replied to General
Mmderfron. He said bo regarded the reso
lution as nnnccessaiy. A resolution of
thanks had already been tendered the ex
ecutive committee , and the directors at their
last meeting had given even stronger em
phasis to the findings of the special com
mittee by refusing to adopt a resolution to
discharge Gcrnldlnc Mr. Rosewater called
special attention to the fact that the con-
clnslrn of the special committee does not
recommend the ictentlon of Ceraldlnc , but
merely elates that If he Is retained moro
stringent measures should be adopted to
compel him to live up to the ru cs
WHAT CONSTITUTES A TRAITOR.
Mr. Rosowatcr called attention to state
ments appearing In the Woi Id-Herald accus
ing him of being a traitor to Omaha. Ho
declared that If It wa tieci an to expose
rottenness and corruption he gloried In be
ing so branded. Replying to Mr Mandcr-
son , Mr. Rosowatcr said Iho gentleman had , .
not been In the city very much of late and :
evidently did not understand the situation ,
lie alluded to the gicat feeling of unrett
and suspicion among the laboring peuplo of
the city with reference to the exposition
management. Ho said the publicity to
which reference had been made did not
start in The lice but bad been discussed
and printed In other papers long before any
thing appeared In Iho IJce lie referred
briefly to the action tdken by the vurloim
labor organl/atloiw and o'hur Indications ot
distrust which have been apparent for some
time. Mr. Rosewater denied that ho had
donq anything to bring shout the defeat ot
tlio county exposition bonds , , an had been
charged , On the contrary he said ho had
done more to bring the bond proposition to.
Its present state than any other man. Hero-
minded the directors that ho had been com
pelled to take hold of the bond matter dur
ing the legislative session , notwithstanding It
was a matter of promotion and did not be
long In his department Ho had had thc-
blll drawn and peroorally took It to Lincoln
and bad It Introduced In I lie legislature and
allied In securing UK passage Ho said that
later he had had petitions prepared and
circulated In order to get the matter prop
erly before the county eommlsfrlonerH aud
had Locn lutt by tliei other members of the.
executive committee tn work It out with
thu county BO the voters of the county
could express their uuntlincrts on It , He
asked If this action on bib part Indlca-
that ho wan opposed to the bends.
PUHLIC LOSING CONFIDENCE.
Mr Rosewater warned thu directors , how
ever , that no matter how many line resolu
tions of confidence were lUfecd , uuch actlca
would not restore confidence In the
igerncnt of the exposition with tb
