luetgert is Said to be the Nerviest Man That Has Ever Been in the Criminal Dock. WORK WITH EXPERT TESTIMONY Expert Chemists Give Their Testimony Be-fore the Court on the Possibility of the Dissolution of a Human Body in the Potash Chieago, Sept. 10. Both the morning and afternoon sessions of the court In the trial of Luetgert were consumed in taking expert testimony. Through chemical analysis the state must establish not only the possibility of a human body being dissolved by the action of caustic potash heated to a boiling point, but also the fact that the bits of bone, hair and flesh and the scrapings of a pinkish brown material from the interior of the vat in the sausage factory were portions of the body of a human being.

If they can demonstrate these two propositions beyond a reasonable doubt, one of the most important portions of their case will have been accomplished. By circumstantial evidence they have endeavored to prove that Luetgert was anxious to rid himself of his wife and that he enticed his wife to the factory on the evening of May 1. By expert testimony they expect to prove that Mrs. Luetgert's remains are now represented by bits of bone, flesh and hair. Two experts have been called, Chas.

B. Gibson and Prof. Mark De la Fontaine, Dr. Gibson, whose direct examination was begun Wednesday, gave further testimony for the state and was then turned over to the defense for cross examination. Prof.

Gibson said the fleshy substance submitted to him resembled human flesh but not distinctively enough to distinguish It from the flesh of any other animal. He said a body could be disintegrated in the manner claimed by the prosecution, but denied that the bones would be effected as he claims they would be merely softened at the ends. Prof. De la Fontaine an expert chemist was the next witness. He testified as to certain pieces of bones picked out of the ashes said to be from the Luetgert furnace.

He said they resembled human bones but beyond that the witness was not very definite. He expressed his opinion that a human body could be dissolved in boiling caustic potash in three or four hours except the bones and some of the ligaments and cartilages. Prof. De la Fontaine was examined by Assistant State's Attorney McEwen on direct examination, occupying the remaining time of the morning and the entire afternoon session. The prosecution could not draw from Prof.

De la Fontaine the assertion that the bits of flesh were human flesh. They might be human but they might also be the flesh of an animal. The bonea he was sure were human bones but regarding the flesh he was very careful and guarded in his statements. He will tomorow morning be turned over to the defense for cross-examination. At no time during the day did the defendant display emotion, not even when the big dry goods box with its grewsome contents of flesh and bone waa placed a few feet from him near the jury.

He handled the gunny sack and inspected with curious glances the flesh and bone which was passed gingerly from attorney to attorney. But at no time did his band tremble or the look of ordinary interest give way to pauor. I Innocent or guilty the verdict Is that Luetgert possesses more nerve than any other man who ever was on trial for murder within the precincta of the criminal court building.

Within four weeks three murders have occurred within two miles of the city hall, and the police today know as little of the whereabouts of the murderers as they did the day the crimes were committed. Frank Adams led off and killed his aunt, Mrs. Marshall, four weeks ago. He cannot be found.

William C. Wilson, proprietor of a circulating library on Walnut street, was murdered at 6 o'clock in the evening three weeks ago and his murderers cannot be found. Last Thursday pretty Annie Dorman was shot three times at her home in Delaware county, just over the Philadelphia line, and no attempt was made to hunt her murderer uptil the newspapers took the case up. The Delaware county coroner will not push the case because the county would not pay for a detective. Wednesday Mrs.

Holland of Dadnor was reported as murdered by some one not known, for the $150 insurance on her life. It Is believed she was poisoned. It is seldom that such an epidemic of mysterious murders has struck this section. GROVER IS HONEST. The ex-President Acknowledges Being Worth $150,000 New York, Sept.

10. A dispatch from Trenton, N. to the Herald is as follows: The county board of assessors met today to adjust the assessments of the townships and municipalities of Mer cer county, and to fix the tax rate. The assessors were greatly pleased by the statement presented by the assessors from Princeton borough, who exhibited the return blank made by Grover Cleveland, who gives the borough a little lift by frankly acknowl edging the value of his personal estate. He affixed the value of his new home at $20,000 and his personal property at $130,000.

He says in his remarks that this is as near as he can get at the value of his securities, because of the uncertain condition of the market and the fluctuating value of stock. There is an increase of $1,000,000 in the valuation of the county, and $300,000 of this is in Princeton township. Half of it comes through Grover Cleveland coming into the county. TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED. Attempted Bobbery in Indian Territory Averted by the Engineer Muskogee, I.

Sept 10. A daring attempt was made last night to hold up the southbound passenger on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad at Bold, I. a flag station thirty miles south of here. A short time before the train was due the robbers, about eight in number, took charge of the section foreman and compelled him to signal the train to stop. He did so.

Engineer Ragland, an old and trusted employe, had been held up several times before. He proceeded to obey the signal, but when his engine was within 100 wards of the signal he noticed several men standing near the tracks, and at once suspected their purpose. Opening up the throttle he sped by them as though no signal had been given. The robbers fled. SONS OF VETERANS MEET.

The gold standard Democratic state convention met yesterday with Judge Bear of Bu-cyrus as chairman. After the address he introduced William D. Bynum of Indiana who spoke for two hours on the money question. Letters were read from Henry Wat-terson and John G. Carlisle.

Watterson said: "If the party is to live it must be by the restoration of Democratic principles. They demand the repudiation of disleading theories of finance. Carlisle said in effect that Democrats who remained lalthful to the principles of the party as understood before the revolutionary declarations of 1890 should preserve their organizations, nominate candidates and prosecute vigorous contests in every state. "If we honestly believe in the rectitude of the course we have heretofore pursued," lie continued, "It is our duty as loyal Democrats and patriotic citizens to maintain by all the means at our command the independent conservative position we now hold and appeal to our old political associates who still maintain many opinions on public questions in common with us to repudiate the new and dangerous doctrines inconsiderately proclaimed at St. Louis and Chicago and return to the simple honest faith of our fathers." Next to the nomination of the state ticket the most important action of the convention was In endorsing Joseph II.

Outhwalte of this city for United States senator. The following ticket was nominated: Governor, Julius Dexter of Cincinnati; lieutenant governor, J. A. Merrill, Sandusky; judge of the supreme court, Judge H. (Jiark or Youngstown; attorney general, Daniel Wilson of Cincinnati; state treasurer, Samuel Stevens of Columbus; state commissioner of schools, Prof.

W. H. Johnson of Granville; member of the state board of works, Henry D. Coffin-berr of Cleveland. The platform reaffirms allegiance to the principles of the party as set forth In the platform adopted at Indianapolis; declares for the maintenance of the gold standard; for the retirement of greenbacks; for extension of the civil service merit system if possible; denounces the recent tariff law, and condemns the proposed annexation of the Hawaiian Islands.
