Shooting Divide on Responsibi The coroner's jury which tnvesiigated the death of the striking miners at Lattt- mer last evening rendered the following verdict: “Thai from the circumstances of the case and the evidence offered, the said Clement Platock and others came to their deaths by gunshot wounds on September 10, i897, at the hands ef Sheriff James Martin and his deputies, and in this we, the jury, do all agree, and we, Philip J. Boyle, Thomas . Thomas, Barton Freas and Peter Me- Kiernan of this jury, do further say that the said Clement Platock, with others, was marching peaceably and unarmed on the public highway, and that they were inter- cepted by the id Sheriff Martin and his deputies and mercilessly shot to death; and we do further find that the killing was unnecessary and could have been avoided without serious injury to either person or property; and we find, finally, that the kill- ing was wanton and unjustifiable; but in this we, George Maue and F. J. McNeal of this jury do not concur; and we, the jury, do farther say that there was such strong suspicion of unlawful viclence at the hands of persons unknown by this jury as to make this inquest unnecessary.” ———~+e+_____ Jacob Kries, who lives at No. 1002 4% street, was slightly injured last night by coming in contact with a cable car. ‘There ts a bad leak in the hydrant on the east side of 19th street northwest be- tween L and M streets, which the police think should be repaired without delay. POINT FOR DEFENSE Lawyer Gillis of Tekemah, Neb., Says He Saw Mrs. Luetgert. ASKED HIM 0 SECURE A DIVORCE} This Was May 27 or 28--Woman Identified by Her Picture. PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL et TEKEMAH, Neb., September 28.—H. Wade Gillis, an attorney of this place, claims to have seen the wife of A. L. Luet- gert, who is now on trial in Chicago for her murder, long after the woman's body is supposed to have been boiled to pieces in the sausage factory. He says the women came to nim in the latier part of May and consulted with him about getting a divorce. His story is as follows: “I don't like to talk of this matter, but it is true. 1 think I saw this woman who is vaid to have been murdered. Perhaps I can do the accused husband no good, for I may not be able to convince thé jury that I saw Mrs. Luetgert, but if 1 did not tee the woman, I saw a person who resembles her in every particular. Reason He Did Not Speak. “Why did not I speak of it before? For the very good reason that it never occurred to me that the woman I saw was Mrs. Luet- gert until I entered the court room in C cago Wednesday and heard the latter de- seribed by one of the witnesses. Then I hunted up a photograph of Mrs. Luétgert and then I was ceriain that I knew some important facts about the case. I said nothing about it at the time. “Why? Because I was in charge of other business, and our court opens here today uld not afford to be detained in a witness, and if I toid ali those lawyers tor that man what I knew I migat not have got back home for a month. “About noon of May 27 or 28, I am not certain which, a woman, vvorly clad in a black dress, entered my law office. She in- quired at once if | was a lawyer, and said she wanted to consult me about a divorce suit. She was very nervous. “She said she lived in Chicago, where her husband was wealthy. She had come to Nebraska from some poimi to the north, she s.id, either 1 or Wisconsin, I am not ceriain. ud left her husband because of his cruelty, and was anxious to know if her deserting him would affect her chances for securing a divorce and the cus- tody of her two children. She said she had two boys whom she wanted. She Wanted a Divorce. “She said she had come to this state be- cause she understood it was easy to get a divorce here. She said she had no money, but could get some, and desired to know the full cost of a suit. I told her, and she inquired the way to a hotel, saying she would return in the afternoon and close the case. I intended to ask her more about herself when she returned. She did not tell me her name, and all the time seemed to want to avoid publicity. That was the last I saw of her. “When I was in the court room in Chica- go Wednesday last and heard the descrip tion of Mrs. Luetgert by one of the wit- nesses, I was satisfied that my strange visitor was the wife of the sausage mak-r. “When I got to Omaha last nighi I wired to the attorneys for the defense, telling them part of what I have here recited. They wired me to please come to Chicago at once.” Luetgert's Attorneys Pleased. CHICAGO, Septemter 28.—Attorney Vin- cent of the defense is clated over the news from Tekemah, Neb. He has not decided whether to have Attorney Gillis make a deposition in Burt county, Nebraska, or have him come to Chicago as a witness to testify regarding the woman he believes was Mrs. Luetgert. Ta of Perjury Charged. Intimations that perjury had been com- mitted by witnesses for the defense in the Luetgert, murder trial were heard around the criminai court building today coupled with a suggestion of the grand jury investi- gation. It was said that the prosecution seriously contemplated seeking the in- dictment of Mary Siemering before the grand jury now in session. During the time Mary Sicmering was on the witness stand she was questioned sharply by As- sistant State’s Attorncy McEwen relative to her testimony before the grand jury which indicted Luetgert. She admitted that her story before that body as well as the evidence she gave before Justice Kersten, who held Luetgert for trial, was different in material points to the evidence she gave at the pi nt trial. Her ex- planation of the discrepancy was that In- Spector Schaack had threatened her when she appeared before the grand jury, tell- ing her that if she did not testify against Luetgert she would be punished. Denied by Schaack. Inspector Schaak denounces this state- ment as utterly flse. During her story of. what took plrvce in the East Chicago avenue police station after her arrest, Mary Stemeriug related incidents in which Assistant State's Attorney McEwen’s name figured = unpleasantly. The narration aroused the blood of the official, who y says the witness falsified, and he ated this morning that Mary Siem- ing: might have another court experience in which the charge would be perjury. ‘The court proceedings opened today with the appearance upon the witness stand of Dr. Clarence Rutherford, the Luetgert family physician. He testified as to Mrs. Luetgert’s physical condition, stating that she was in fairly good hegith. Attorney Phaten inquired as to the woman's mental condition. State's attorney objected to the question unless the witness qualified as an expert upon mental diseases. Dr. Ruth- erford could not do this, and after stating that he visited the Luetgert family twice each month and never saw any unpleasant- ness in thé family, he was released from the witness stand. Opdyke’s Poritive Testimony. An interestirg witness was Armadale Opdyke, a fruit vender from near Janes- ville, Wis. Opdyke was positive. He said that on May 9 he was in the vicinity of Lake Zurich, near Janesville, with a horse and wagon. On the night of May 9 he camped out, sleeping out in his wagon. In a small grove near him he saw two wo- men. They were lying on the ground and said they were going to remain there dur- ing the night. Opdyke said he carried an armful of hay from his wagon to the wo- men and they made a bed of it. The wit ness positively and unconditionally identi- fied a photograph of Mrs. Luetgert as one of the women he saw in the woods near Lake Zurich the night of May 9. Opdyke said he could not be mistaken. He was ab- solutely sure that one of the women was Mrs. Luetgert. On cross-examination he acknowledged that his identification was based purely upon the resemblance of Mrs. Luetgert’s picture to one of the women. Maggie Shaughnessy of 1248 North Robey street was put on the witness stand to strengthen the impeachment against Emma Schimpke. Witness was with Emma Schimpke and Rosa Gleich at the dance in Westig Hall, opposite Luet- gert’s sausage factory, the night of May 1. She said she saw Luetgert In the bar room of the place, and that she and Emma Schimpke left the hall about 9 o'clock and went home. Consequently, Emma Schimpke eculd not have seen Luctgert and his wife at 11 o'clock. Marcus Heinneman added the weight of his testimony to that of others who have told how Mrs.,Luetgert had juently said she was going away from home be- cause Luetgert had faiied. On April 28 the witness said Mrs. Luetgert told him she was going away. : Luetgert to Testify. . Luetgert, it is thought, will be put on the Witness stand with little delay now to tell his story. Luetgert is epparently anxious to get on the witness stand. He says he can convince the jury of bis innocence. “Wait il I tell my story,” said: Luetgert today. THE OFFICIAL Gr ‘lia 5) WEATHER. MAP.

Movement Made Under the Commis- s sioners’ Plan. Women who conduct alleged disreputable houses on 13th street between Pennsylvania avenue and the mall were very much agi- tated yesterday afternoon when Lieut. Amiss called upon them and discussed the question of their moving to the locality west of 13th street. This was the first move made in the direction of getting these houses off this wide thoroughfare. Several days ago the women learned through The Star that the Commissioners had decided upon the change, but yesterday was the first time they had received of- ficial notification. While the lieutenant's mission among the women was not to notify them that they must vacate by a specified time, it was hinted that they would be ex- pected to leave before the close of October. Several times during the past few years the matter has been discussed, but it is under- stood to be the intention of the Commis- sioners now to make 13th street a thor- oughfare for general use by people in the Agricultural Department and other public buildings along the line of the mall, and to insure those who frequent it against insults along the way. Lieut. Amiss found some few of the women who thought they might move dur- ing the coming month, but others said they could not. Many of the denizens own the houses in which they live and have them expensively furnished, and they said to transfer all their household effects in so short a time will be impossible. Ancther thing in their way is the question of secur- ing quarters in the area specified for them. There are not enough houses in this area, some of them claim, and until others are built they can do nothing but remain where they are or move to vther sections \ here such houses are not tolerated. SS DI NUNZIO’S PAST HISTORY. Story Told the Inspector by Member of Italian Colony. Inspector Mattingly received a telegram this afternoon from Detective Helan, who left here yesterday to go to Connecticut to get the Italian musician, Barredine Di Nurzio. The latter is charged with felon- iously assaulting Dora Ax, the eight-year- old daughter of John Ax, an Italian la- borer. Detective Helan said in the tele- grem that he had arrived at Southington, where the Italian was captured, but had afterward gone to Hartford. It is supposed his mission there is to get @ warrant on which to hold the prisoner until the bench warrant from here reaches there. A member of the local Italian colony called on Inspector Mattingly last evening and related to him a story about Di Nunzio in connection with a murder committed at a place called Carerta, in Italy. Ac- cording to this statement the musician who is now under arrest was living in Carerta about Christmas, 1891, when a man named Stephen Riello was murdered by two men for his money. The man who got the money escaped and was never cap- tured, while his accomplice, who was with- out funds, was arrested and held. Be- cause of the escape of the principal in thé crime the trial of the accomplice was de- layed for two years, as it was the desire of the authorities to apprehend the fugitive and have both of them tried at one time. When all hope of capturing the fugitive was gone the man in custody was tried, but interest in the case had died out, and the prisoner got off with a sentence of fourteen years. The man who escaped with the money and was not captured, Inspector Matting- ly’s informant says, was Barredine Di Nunzio, now under arrest in Connecticut. = ——— Thomas Morrissey, a brakeman on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad, fell under- neath the cars, his right arm being cut off at the shoulder and his right foot at the ankle. No one saw the accident, and More rissey was left on the track, two miles west of Emporium. He succeeded in reaching Emporium, and is now at the hospital there. CASTORIA FOR _ Infants and Children.

Bohrer, white, aged thirty-. a tea merchant by occupation, residing at 213 11th street southeast, while riding down the steep hill on 22d ‘street beyond the Power house of the Georgetown and Tenley- town electric railroad last evening, was thrown from his bicycle and badly injured. The front wheel of the machine struck a stone, which threw the rider with consider- able force on the side of his head, scraping all of the skin off the ieft side of his face and otherwise injuring him. He was picked up and brought into town on one of the electric cars of the Tenleytown road, and at 32d and O streets the patrol wagon of the seventh precinct met the car and conveyed the man to the Emergency Hospital, where his injuriés received attention. Harry Hendley, the young white man who was arrested Sunday night on an elec- tric car, as stated in The Star yesterday, when arraigned in the Police Court on a charge of carrying concealed weupons, was held guilty and made to pay a fine of $75. A charge of disorderly conduct preferred by Policeman Blake and another charge of assaulting David Loughborough were made out against him and the cases continued, the defendant being released on $25 col. lateral. James Martin, colored, was arrested ycs- terday by Policeman Fennelly on a charge of violating the police regulations, in col- lecting garbage without a permit. Arthur S. Mattingly has bought of Frank H. G. White, at an unnamed consideration, a portion of the Dumblane property, lo- cated in the Friendship subdivision. Moscs H.

The wheel has. not been returned, and he has made complaint to the police. An umbrella stand was stolen from the vestibule of house No. 1016 17th street about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Snyder, the occupant of tke house, has reported the theft to the police authorities. Mrs. Mary E. Brown was out shopping yesterday, and left her wheel near the cerner of 1ith and G streets. 1t was stolen, and the police are now’ looking for the thief. n- ———o = Row in. O Street Alley. George F. Roberts, colored, was the com- plaining witness today in the Police Court against French Carter and Catlett M. Thomas, also colored, who, he alleged, as- saulted him last night at the house in which they lived in O street alley. Hoberts’ injuries consisted of a broken nose, drum of one ear badly hurt, hoth eyes bunged up. He was, however, so much under the influence of liquor that-he!was unable to tell Judge Kimball how-he had gotten hurt. Through Policeman Hendricks, the court was informed that a quarrel was in pro- gress between Robertsand one Tom Grif- fin, when Carter and“Thothas interfered. Carter knocked Roberts down and kicked him, and Thomas jumped_om him and beat him. Judge Kimball committed each of the defendants to jail for sixty days. ——__ Washington Béble .Society.

Appears Before Judge Wi io Prose- Violator of Law. . The feature of the prcceedings today in the Police Court was the appearance of Judge Kimball in the guise of a prosecuting witness. If he continues his record, begun last evening and today, the judge will be clearly eligible for appointment to a posi- ticn on the metropolitan police force. He diplomatically induced an insane woman who visited him last evening to accompany him to a station house, as detailed in an- other column of The Star, and this morn- ing caused the arrest and conviction of a colored man on a charge of cruelty to ani- mals. ‘The business of the court today was unu- sually heavy, equaling, if not exceeding, that of yesterday. For several hours after court opened the dock was crowded, it be- ing impossible to accommodate haif the | prisoners with places on the one lone bench which is provided. Becky Smith, after an unusually long absence, was once more in attendance, occupying the seatef honor. As Judge Kimball was apprcaching the Police Court building this morning his at- tention was attracted to a team of mules 1 deavoring to draw a wagon, heavily load- ed, up the rather steep hill on 6th street near the court. The mules were having a is JOSEPH LADUE CARSTENSEN, of New Corporation Trust of New Jersey. WASHINGTON LOAN AND TRUST BUILDING. Was! ee te oe ee ee Transportation and Trading Company of the Yukon.

Judge Kimball obeyed. “Shull I tell my story in my own way or answer questions?” he asked. = “Make your statement in your own way, replied Judge Mills, presiding ever the Dis- trict branch of the court, his manner in- dicating that he had never before seen the distinguished witness. Judge Kinball told that the mules were stalled when he saw them; that the driver was endeavoring to see-saw them from one side of the street to the other, and was beating the animals with a whip. The wagon was heavily loaded, and there was another man on the seat beside the driver. “I considered it an act of great cruelty— an oul concluded Judge Kimball, “so I it for an officer. sent for do; step aside,” quietly di- Mills. “That will Et ee E t Company, Of the District of Columbia, CORNER ISTH ST.
