THE SAN FRANCISCO CAL SATURDAY 1897 SEPTEMBER 18, HOTIVES FOR THE MORDER Prosecution of Luetgert to Close With Strong Evidence. Infatuation for a Servant-Girl a Cause for Getting Rid of a Wife. Colls Tightening About ths Accused Sausage-Maker, Who Is Anxious to Address the Jury. CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. 17.—The prosecu- tion will rest its case in the Leutgert trial srrow, aiter three weeks given to the ntation of evidence against the pris- ¢ and four weeks spent fn the trial. he prosecution w close its case with some strong evidence tending to prove the motive for the crime. The State will endeavor to show that infatuation for Mary Siemmerinyg, the servant-girl in the Luetgert bousehold, was the cause for the urder. It will be claimed that the big sausage-maker desired to make t his wife, and that he put Mrs. Lu out of the way to permit lis marriace with the girl. To prove this story Frank k and Frank Odec , employes of Luet:ert, who have alres testified in the ca®e, will be put upon the stand and will give eviaence relating to the domestic affairs of the Luetgerts. They are ex- pected to testify us to the friendliness of Luetgert for Miss Mary Siemmering and the indignant opposition to the gir!’s vresence in the house made by Mrs. Luet- gert. The frequent visits of Mary Siemmering to Luetgert in the sausage factoiv a: un- usual bours of the night will be detailed. Both men will tell oi seei Luetgert chase his wife upon one occasion with a revolver, and they will tell of threats which they heard him make. With th evidence in tbe State will rest. To-da was given up 1o technical evidence, and there was little of interest in the-trial for the outsider. When the trial opened to-day the cros: examination of Professor Dorsey was re- sumed. He was questioned s to the comparative nature of the sesamoid and femur bones of a calf, a sheepand a human being. His answers were technical and a it, but of a character that supportec original identification and tesiimony with reference to ths bones in evidence. When Attorney Vincent concluded his cross-examination of Professor Dorsey he moved that the court exciude from the record all of the evidence of the witness and also all of the evidence of Dr. Norva Pierce 1n connection with the identifica- tion of the femur and temporai bones on the ground that the identifications were not based on legitimate or substantial basis, but merely upon the opinion of the experts based upon certain alleged condi- . The motion was overruled. The ey then moved to exclude ali of the of Professor Delafontaine in atter had stated ‘‘these may " This was approved which be numan bones.” and sustained and the motion allowed. the Schuettler was called 1o the Captair ‘i 10 testify as to collateral ess-stand closing b i to the identification by elsl Fontaine, Proiessor 1t Spangler and other wite nesses used in the trial, all of which will go into the jury-room when the case 1s submitted trial to-day was Unit William E. Mason. Senator )n came | into court at 1:30 ¢’clock and escorted to the benct by acourt ba He sat beside Judge Tuthill for over an hour, an interested observer of the court proceed- ings. It was the opinion of tue attorneys in the case to-day that the trial would last at least three weeks longer. There is said to be a difference between Luetgert’s counsel with reference to the uefendant taking the witness-stand in his own behalf. Attorney Vincent is notin- ciined to permit Luetgertto do so. iorney Phelan believes Lhe sausage-make should tell his story to the jury, Luetgert himself is quite determinsd to go upon the witness-stand. He not only desiresto tell his story, bui he also wants toaddress the jury. In all tikelihood he will testify. NEW FEDEKAL OEFICIALS. Quite a List of Appointments the Presitent. WASHINGTON, D.

SALT LAKE, Uram, Sept. 17. — A special to the Tribune from Pocatello, Idaho, says: Fireman Bert Wakefieid disappeared from his engine, pulling ireight train 21 this afternoon, as com- pletely as though the earth had swallowed him up. KEngineer Staples missed him just after the irain had crossed the briage over Bear River at Novene, The train bad stopped, but no trace of the man found. They ran back to the riverand searched there, but in vain, and had to come on without him. It is supposed that Wakefield fell off his engine while crcssing the bridge, and that the body was swept away by the current. ur of the aiternoon ses- | .e prosecution of exhibits | BTHEL DOWNS A GAME HARE |Chris Peterson Beaten by the Lion-Hearted Trotter. Most Stubbornly Contested Race Seen at Sacramento in Years. Nordeau Wins the Stanford Stak: and Antrima the 2;15 Trotting Event. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Sept. 17.—The harness sport at the track to-day was lib- erally patronized. The racing was char- acterized by nothing in the record- breaking fine, but the 2:13 trot proved the most stubbornly contested raceseen bete in years, and trotting-horse entbusiasts would willingly have braved a trip over | Chilcoot Pass to view it. Ethel Downs, | tbe finely chiseled and lion-hearted ¢augh | ter of Boodle, and Driver Bunch of San | Josa issued from the contest with all the honor. The affair was looked upon by the smart ones as “‘oil out of the can’’ for the | Montana horse, Chris Peterson, driven by Shaner, which in the first pools sould brought §40, to Galette $25and tae field $10. | 1Inadesperate drive through tne streich | in the first heat, with Galette standing the whip for over a furlong, Ethel gained the verdict by a neck in 2:16{. There was | Do marked change in the betting, and in the heat following Boodle's daughter locked horns with the favorite and in an- other fierce drive got home first by a head in 2:13)4. These two hard heats, it was thought, settled her chances, and Chri Peterson was a warmer choice than ever. Shaner’s horse went out and took the third and fourth heats, while Bunch gave | Ethel Downs a breathing spell. { The fifth heat saw none but the black San Jose mare znd tne sturdy Montana horse :core for the word. As they were sent away Bunch, beuind the mare, at once opened up a gap, with the Peter- | son backers saying, “Wait till be hits the | stretch.” He did hit the stretch, but Ethel hit it in advanceof him, and, stand- | ing punishment in the gamest style pos- sible, snatched the heat at the wire by a head. Oa returning to the wire Driver | Buuch and his charge were given a great ovatior | The Stanford stake, valued at §760, was I taken by Nordeau, a Palo Alto-bred filly, | | the favorite, Owyhee, being badly beaten | | after winning the first heat. | Carlyle Carne, the favorite, managed to | | zet away with two heats in the 2:15 trot. Then Antrima, the second choice, slipped | {in and took the next three. | In the openfng pools sold on the four starters for the Stanford stake Owyhee, | i the Oakwood stock farm eniry, driven by | | Ben Cnevoya, sold over the fisld at odds ! | of $30 against §16. He tbok the first heat | without efforc in 2:23%, which caused a | | decided calm in the betting, Auctioneer | Leach being unable to peddie off a ticzet | at any odds. Nordeau, which was. ex- pected to press the favorite, made a break | | at the first turn, finishing a distant third. | To the surprise of all, in the second | | heat Havey, behind Nordeau, went out |and_trotted’ big rings around Owyhee, | | ieading the biz bay past the wire by a | hali-length in 2:21}.° This caused a big | {shift in the betting. Pitched in with | Lynall and Uncle James as coaxers, Nor- | d-au brought $20, with Owyhee going for | {$6 In this heat Owyhee led to the | sireteh, where he weakened and dropped | back. Nordeau then assumed command, | but was given quite a brush by Lynall, | finally winning ine iieat by a haif-lengih 2 | in 2:251¢ Now selling against the field at prohib- | itive odds, the fourth and deciding heat was easy tor the Palo Alio filly, which | again displayed stperior stamina and won from Lynall by a half-length in There was a vast supply of Curlyle Carne coin at the outset of the pooling on the 2:15 trot, the McDowells’ grav bring- | ng 5, Antrima $18 and the field $10, Carlyle took ihe opening heat without | | effort from Laay O in 2:171{, after which | he brought $20, Antrima $:6 and the fieid 1$10. The second heat wus another snap | tor Carlyle, which led from the word and | finished four lengths ahead ot Conn at the | wire, with Antrima a bang-up third. ! There was now a peculiar shift in tl.\el betting. Notwithstanding the fact that | Carne had taken both beats in handy fashion, the wise ones **in on the kuow" were afraid their money would get cold, | and when the horses were caliel for the third heat, Keating’s mare. Antrima, had | a slight call over MeDoweli’s horse in the betting, an average pool being Antrima | $26, Carlyle Carne $25 and the field $1. In the third heat Carlyle led untii_near- ing the stretch, where Margaret Worth assumed the lead. Keating now cailed on Antrima, and the black mare took the heat easily by a length in 2:1614. After this, Antrima sold against the field, and | it was clear sailing for her, the Montana mare tucking the two heats necessary to annex the purre up her sleeve and trudging off Lo the stable, The Stanford stake, for trotting foalsof 1894; value $760.

Thought to Be Precursors of a Great Conflict That Is Brewing. Women Raiders Aggravate the Sit- uation—General Gobin’s Feeling of Uneasiness. HAZLETON, Pa., Sept. 17.—The strike situation to-day may be summarized thus: Over 10,000 men are still out, with no ap- parent prospect of settlement; sporadic the outiying collieries, and the withdrawal of troops is not on!y beyond considera- tion, but the guard lines of several of the camps are being constantly stengthened, and the wisdom of bringing the cavalry is being discussed. A captain of General Gobin’s staif isau- thority for the statement thatan uneasy feeling prevails at hesdquarters in conse- quence of the little outbreaks of the past few days, and the indications they hold of the underlying disturbance. The bri- gade commander admitted to-day that the action of the raiding women was giv- ing him much perplexity. He does not care to use force against them, and hasin- structed the soldiers in case of necessity to use only the flats of their sabers upon the Amazons. The story reaches the general that many men were in the attacking crowds of yes- terday and to-day disguised as women. This morning’s violent scene at Auden- reid was almost an exact repetition of yese terday’s at t.e same place. It arosefrom another attempt to start the Menarch and Star washeries of the Lebhigh and Wilkes- barre Company. About 100 men reporied for work at the former, when the wild band of women swooped down upon them, armed with sticks and stones. Others were stationed on top of an adja- ceut culm, whence they showered missiles upon the wou!d-be workers, and a large body of men and boys waited in reserve bebind the banks. The men promptly nit :nxk before any injury could be in- icted. At the Star washery, where 100 or 135 men wanted (o work, a Dke assault stopped them. The call for troops, which morning, was the act of a night watch- man, who misiook sold.ers for sirikers. All the dynamilie that can be found in the region is being collected and stored to keep it from the hands of the miners, and 100 men from the Ninth R:giment were sent over Lo guard the house. The watch- man saw the lights and moving figures, lost his nerve and telephoned that an ai- tack was threatened. Late last night s body of strikers at Latimer No. 2 quarreled among them- selves and bloodshed was threatened, but Company E of the Thirteenth Regiment, | which is camped at Latimer, restored quiet. Depgty Coroner Bowman will begin the inquesk over the bodies ot the dead miners next Wednesday aftérnoon. Over 100 wit- nesses will be examined. General Gobin will not interfere with to-morrow night’s big mass-meeting unless highly colored speeches are made. The prineipal speakers are to be P. J. Maguire, vice-president of the American Federa- tion of Labor, and George Chance of the United Labor League. Asa precautionary measure a guard of soldiers will be pres- ent. Organizer Fahey and other leaders have asked that the militia be withdrawr, and General Gobin has advised them that the speediest way to accomplish this will be to put a stop to holding mass-meetings and thereby exciting the people. Tue only change in the strike situation to-day was the return to W of the 560 employed at Coxe's Beaver Mcudow col- hery. The min rs say that tnis is only temporary, and thatif the other Coxe men at Drifton and elsewhere decide at their meeting of next Monpay to go out the Beaver Meadow men will join them. Vivitors of the President. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.— Among the President’s callers to-day be- fore the Cabinet assembied were Repre- sentatives Hepburn of lowa, Hurley of New York, Senator Thurston of Nebraska and ex-Secretary Hoke Smith of Georgia. The last-named called «imply to pay his respects. Senator Penrose of Pennsyl- vania and Representatives Butler and Wagner of Pennsylvania also called. Sen- ator Penrose, among other things, urged the appointment of Thomas B. Hicks as Postmaster of Philadelphia. The factions in Philadelphia, it is understood, are united on Mr. Hicks and the appointment will be made very shortly. outbreaks of violence are occurring near | came irom Cranberry at 2 o'clock this | TROOPS 70 BE SENT NORTH Twenty-Five Regulars Are to Proceed to St. Michael. Lieutenant- Colonel Randall, With Twenty-Five Men, to Start Soon. Prompt Actlon Taken Upon the Report of Captain Ray—Lawless Element Needs 3 Check. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—The report from Captain Ray, the army officer who was sent to Alaska to investigate the condition of afiairs there, forme1 the basis of the Cabinet decision to-day to send a small force of soldiers to St. Mi- chael at the earliest moment. Captain Ray’s advices were of date August 27. He was then at St. Michael, about to take the steamer up the Yukon to Circle City. His report showed that without doubt great suffering must be expected in the Kion- dike region this winter, owing to the lack of food supplies. Further details on that point were promised at a later date. He regarded it as essential that some kind of force acting under lawiul authority be placed at St. Michael to restrain the law- less «lement. Secretary Alger late this afternoon gave the necessary orders for the sending of troops. There will be only twenty-five infantrymen, and they will be sent from Fort A. D. Russell, where Captain Ray had made a selection of hardy men to ac- company him when he was about to go north before. These men will be under the lead of Lieutenant-Golonel Randall of the Eighth Infantry, now at Cheyenne, and there will be a surgeon and three members of the army hospital corps, be- cause of the reports of prevailing sickness in Aiaska. Secretary Alger has managed to over- coms the difficulty in the matter of trans- portation by means of telezraphic corre- spondence with President Weare of the Alaska Transportation Company.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasm., Sept. 17.— A letter received here this morning shows that Dawid E. Brown, a former mail-car- rier here, has broken the record in cross- ing Chiicoot Pass. Brown left here for Juneau on the steamer Queen August 29, From Jjuneau he took a small boat for Dyea.

His outfit weighed only 350 pounds and he was well provided with money. The time on the trail from Dyea to Lake Bennett was foriy-five bours. Brown was accompanied by two Indians, who carried his freight across the pass for 38 cents a pound. He made s contract with the In- dians at Dyea, and at Sheep Camp they struck for 45 cents a pound, but Brown forced them at the point, of a revoiver to fultill the contract at the original price, which they did, as Brown drove them ahead, himself bringing up the rear with | 100 pounds on his back and Lis revolver in | nis hand.
