THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1897. LUETGERT CANNOT BE bUNVIGTED Jurors, After Much Talk, Fail to Reach a Verdict. NINE REPORTED FOR CONVICTION. They Are Well Fed and Are Given Cots for the Night. CONFIDENCE OF THE BIG SAUSAGE-MAKER. Declares That His Wife Is Yet Liv- ing and That Ha Will Never Be Found Guilty. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Another nignt of suspense is ahead of the defendant in the Lusetgert case. At 9 o’clock the jury had gone 1o bed on cots which were placed in the courtroom, and it was announced by Judge Tuthill that even though by one chance in a million the jurors should wake up and agree unon a verdict there would be no announcement and the court- Id under no circumstances be opened until 10 o’clock to-morrow. A few minutes before 8 o’clock Judge Puthill appeared at the Criminal Court , and being admitted alone by the at te entrance he passed quickly g positive instructions that be admitted to the build- any circumstances. Within a after he had issued the-e in- upstairs, nobod ing v few minute: structions A Phalen, the junior insel for the defe put in an appear- ce and dema: ission. He was promptly re ed, and it tcok all his powers of n and argument to get d at the door. went directly to the court- he was told by the bailiffs in charge of the court that severa! of the men were aimost exhausted by the ordeal to which they had been subjected during the last twenty-four hours, and if toey were not allowed some rest, it would certainly result in some of them becom- g ill. The jury also sent word that there was no immediate prospect of an agreement, and under the circumstances the Judge gave orders that they be per- mitted to drop the case and go to sleep. The cots were dragged into the eourt- room and within a few minutes every juror was stretched out at full length and all consideration of the case was off until they should wake in the morning. Judge Tuthill, after giving directions thatall the things possible should be aone for the comfort of the jury, left the build- ing for his home. “They have not agreed as vet,” he said when he left the Courthouse, ‘‘and when I became convinced that there was little prospect of their doing so and saw how weary some of them were I told them to go to sleep and to agree in the morn- i There would be no use in keeping them up zil of the night, because, in the , two or th of them would in me be utterly incapacitated by nd uo azreement could be ever i from men who are nervous from ep xhausted from argu- Whaen me to the court to- at a verdict could be anxious to do all I ort of the jurors.” Attorney Deneen remained in :e until all hope of a verdict to- bad been abandoned, and then he is rooms and went home. He till bopeful of a verdict, but naturally on a disagreement as the most likely outcome. There were rumors of all kinds afloat during the evening, allof them beingz to the effect that the iriends of Luetgert on the jury were weakening. It was known during the day that the vote stood eight to four, and to-night the rumors were that it wa: ten for the death penalty and two for acquittal. A later story is that it stood eleven for hanging and one foracquitial. Juror Harley is aamitted to be the stout triend of Luetgert and he it 18 who is iead- ing tne fight ior acquittal. Over in the jail Luetgert was during the evening anx- iously awaiting word from the jury-room. He tried as usual to keep up an appear- ance of indifference and, as usual, made a failure of it. ‘‘If they don’t agree,” he said, *I get bail and I will be out of this. I can give bail for 8 million dollars if they want that mauch. My wife is living somewhere, but 1 admit she is having a lot of fun with me at present. There is one thing sure,” the , priscier said with great positiveness. “The e will be no conviction in this case. It will be either an acquittal or a dis- agreement.’”’ Asked where he obtained his informa- tion, he smiled and said: “Ob, 1know, you go ’'long, I won’t be convicted, though; you can bet on thar.” At 100’clock the criminal court building was as dark as a pocket. The crowd which had hung around its enirancs dur- ing theearlier part of theevening had dis- sppeared. A solitary bailiff «at at the foot ot the stairs leading to the second story. Another sat at the upper end of the flight, two more were atthe door of the court- room and two more were inside keeping watch over the sleeping jurymen. The opinion around the criminal court to-night was that all chances of a verdict had disappeared, and that the result is practicaiiy certaid to be a disagreement. It is considered possible, and even proba- ble, that the State will have nine or ten of the jurymen and the defense the re- mainder. The chances to-night, however, seem to favor & disagreement of eight for convic- tion and four for acquittal. Just before retiring jor the night the jury took another ballot, the vote stand- ing nine for conviction and three for ac- quittal. The four jurors who have been standing out for acquittal are: Behmiller, Barber, Holmabird and Hailey. The two latter are still for acquittal, but either Behmiller or Barber has come over Lo the State, There is much feeling against Harley among the jurors who favor the death penalty. They say he will not argue the case in any way, but sticks solidly for » Luetgert. \ Stanford’s Total siegistration.

T. ERAGOREL S AEART WAS HORT Stearns for $10,500 Damages. She Denied Receiving Any Val- nable Wedding Presents From Him, More Important Was Her Disclaimer of Any Promise to Marry the Unhappy Swain The unusual spectacle of & man suing a woman for breach of promise to marry drew a large crowd of curiosity seekers to Judge Bahrs’ department of the Supericr Court yesterday. Thomas Eragorri, under the guidanc eof his attorney, Wilbam Hoff Cook, told the circumstances of how he plighted his faith | | | | Therefore He Sued Bridget| I “I said ‘A1l right,” responded the wit- e eager joyininese of hope embodied | in this ezger reply moved the hearers to | levity, though Judge Bahrs smiled sadly, for he saw the deep earnestness of the man, and evidently sympathized in his distress In January, 1895, Mr. Eragorri said that be and Mrs. Stearns went to the Boston ouse for refreshments, and while re be was introduced by her to John i me she said, “This is nd. gorri continued the story of his gs, saying that she often took his and every week he asked her to bim. To this she would say, **Yes, | but wait till Dr. Stearns goes to Japan to | fix up his money matters there”; so the the wedding would be again postponed. An interesting part of the proceedings was when Mr. Eragorri told of some of the presents he purchased for his lady | love. He remembered that he bought a | big lot of cuigl goblets for her, and took her to the Woaite House, where she | i cirt costing $15, a lace pair of hose, two silk ders.irts, some garters and other gar- | men i of which he paid for. At a other time be bought her some corsets for | her. She >wed him some old corsefs | and told him where he could get Ler some | on Market street for $3 25. to pay $6,”" said the unhapry with a sigh. After that other things were bougnt by her and the bills were sent to bim, all of which be paid. Jo you think I would bave bought sv | ¥ presents for a woman if 1 didn’t ex- ther to marry me?” asked the plaint- iff, turning appealingly te the jurv. On cross-exumination Mr. Eragorri de- nied that he was thrown out of Mrs. Stea house, but admitted that he had | by mistake formerly sworn to complaints | which he asserted that Mrs. Stearns had refused to marry bim on April 8 shic m Principa’s in Yesterday’s Breach-of-Promise Case. to Mrs. Bridget Ramage in 1894, and also related the sad fict thatshe ignored her promise to make him the happiest man on earth, and instead of marrying him, actually wedded his rival, Dr. Victor J. Btearns. Accordingly he made Dr. Stearns a co-defendant in his action for $10,500 damages.. It was explained that the $500 represented money actually ex- pended by the plaintlif for the benefit of the tair defendant, including oys:ers, ice cream and presents of different kinds, while the odd $10,000 wae intended as compensation for his sorrow, chagrin and disappointment in losing so desirable a life purtner by reason of her fuilure to keep her plighted troth. Dr. Stearns was present, but took no partfin the proceed- ings. Mr. Eragorri testitied that he was born in Spain, though Attorney W. H. Hutton objected to the admissibility of such evi- dence, saying that it made no difference whether he was a native of Madrid or Mailpitas, so far as this case was conceruned. Anyhow the plaintiff insisted that he hails from the land or the haugh:y don, and it was evident that he has not yet iived here long enough to become con- versant with the idioms of Pacific Coast language, since he could scarcely make himse:f understooa by the jury in rebears- ing the story of his wrong-. “I met the defendani at 417)¢ Third strest, where I wasrooming at her house,”’ said Mr. Eragorri. “Bhe was tben Mrs. Kamage. In December, 1894, between Christmas and New Year, I asked her if she would marry me.” After he had got thus far the witness seemed to sia'l, for his attorney could not obtain any ciear answer from him, so Judge Babrs took a hand in the question- ing and requested the plaintiff to tell just what happened at the time the allegea promise of marriage was entered into. “Well, in the evening Mrs. Stearns and I were in the dining-room together, and she said she was getting very lonely. I asked her why she diudn’t get married, and she just smiled. Then I asked her if she would marry me and s..e said ‘\:'e!.’ < “Then what happened? What did you say ?” persisted Juage Bahrs. 1894. On this admission Mr. Hutton in- sisted that the statute of limitations had run against Mr. Eragorri’s claim, and the court =eemed to think so, too, and inti- mated as much, greatly to the annoyance | of Attorney Cook, who manifested his displeasure, whereupon Judge Bahrs said : “I would naturaily suppose, Mr. Cook, that when you see your case petering out, vou, as an astute lawyer. would have the frankness to abandon it With considerabie heat Mr. Cook asked the reporier to record his objections to the remarks of the court. Mr. Eragorri insisted that he had not lost all hope of winning Mrs. Stearns, even after he had left her house, as he took consolation from the reflection that women sometimes change their minds, and he hoped for a favorable change in his case. Very little of the courtship conversa- tion could be recalled bv Mr. Eragorri, but he sald his intended bride drew his attention to the fact that she owned the house where they were living, ana that as they would have no rent to pay they could live happily and comfortably. Mrs. Stearns wus called to the witness- stand and denied that she had ever prom- ised to marry the plaintiff; that be had never asked her, aithough he nad perse- cuted ber with his atteotions and that at last sh2 ordered him from her house. In regard to the silk skirt Mrs. Stearns said that Mr, Eragorri seemed to be a sort of peddier part of the time and wanted to buy and sell g:rments, She sold him some silken hose for $24 and he paid her $12 on account. In order to even up the account she was compelled to take kirt that he nad for sale. There was no thought of giving a present on either side. It was a business proposition. After a brief argument the case was submitted to the jury, and after a consul- tation of oniv five minuies the jury re- turned a verdict in favorof the delendant, and Mrs. Stearns left the room appy as the congratulations and a sense of her victory could make her. In the British Isies during the present century seven instances have been re- corded in which the bride has married the best man by mistake. THE FUSE WORKS A SHOKING ROIN Wrecked Machinery and Charred Timbers Cover the Factory Site. The Plant Was Uninsured and the Loss Was Heavy—It Will Be Rebuilt Soon, Charred Remains of Mary Beck Found—The Inquest Will Be Held Next Saturday at Colma. On the site of what was a few days ago the California Fuse Works is a pile of charred timbers, twisted iron, dismantled and wrecked machinery and a small por- tion of a wooden building. That was all that the fire which followed the explosion of Monday night left of the valuable property. A great crowd visited the scene yes- | terday where Mary Beck met her death and several other employes were injured. Fire was burning in the coal pile and in different places among the debris. A piece of a skull and a few bones, the whole of which could be held in one's hands, were all that was ieft of the unfor- tunate woman, M ry Beck, who was caught by the falling timbers while trying to escape from the building. The ghastly relics were found by James Ryan and G. Lawrence about 3 o'clock vesterday morn- ing. A brotherof the unfortunate woman had them taken into an undertaker’s. Large crowds visited the sceune all day yesterday. Coroner James Crowe and his deputy, C. Fox, arrived in the afternoon and immediately subpenaed jurors for the inquest, which will be he'd at Colma on next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Nora Murphy, Ameha Hamilton and Mamie Amsler, the girls who were most seriously injured by the explosion, were visited duriug the day by Messrs. Clift and Eva, the owners of the works, The condition of Miss Murphy was such that the attending physician deemed it advisaple to forbid any visitors. Itis be- | lieved that she and the Hamilton girl will | recover, although they were suffering in- tensely when he made the afternoon visit. Mamie Amsler, the brave girl who at | the risk of her own life saved that of her | friend Nora, is outof danger. Bhe was visited by numerous friends who called to congratulate her on her escape and the heroic deed she performed. Her burns gave her considerable pain, but she was cheerful and chatied pleasantly with ner friends. Engineer Tregay, whose principal in- jury was a broken bone in his ankle, was resting easily. He will be able to be around in a few weeks. Theothers, whose injuries were slight, will be outina day or two, aiter the effects of the shock to their systems has passed away. The works is almost a total loss, for there was no insurance. All that was saved was the powder, which was in the maeazine. But very little of the machin- ery can be used. The owners stated yesterday that the works would be rebuilt as soon as the | ground could be sleared. The men who were in the explosion were disinclined for some reason to dis- cuss the cause of the disaster. BLOUSES AND TROUSERS, The Uniforrm Board of the National Guard Awards the Contract to Pettibone & Co. General Dickinson and Colonels Piatt and Smith, composing the uniform board of the National Guard of this State, met Monday afternocon in the office of Gen- eral Dickinson to consider the bids that were gpened last Saturday and that were submitted by parties who desired to fur- nish the members of the National Guard with uniforms. After a full examination of all the bids, and tsking into account the amount ot fund: available, the board deciaed toac- cept bids only for blouses and trousers, and Pettibone Bros., being the lowest bid- ders, were awarded the contract. The board will send out circulars to all the companies of the State and receiv: requisition from each for the actual num- ber of articles needed. The circular will also set forth the prices for which hats and leggins and overcoats can be procured. The coniract price for the blouses is $3 04, $2 51 for trousers, and the firm offers 10 iurnish hats for $1 10 each. General Dickinson staied after the ad- journment of the board that the material will be the e that is furnishea 10 the United States army, and that the con- tractors will be held to a strict account- ability in every particula —_—————— The Ghost Factory on Fire.

Prior to October 13 McLean furnished medicine to Eisie Pettersen, 26 Monte- zuma street, who was sufferin g from can- cer in the stomach and died on that date. Mclean sizned the death certificate as “James McLean, M.D.” The law requires that every phyvsician who practices in the State must first be Tegistered with the State board, no matter if he has graduated from the highest col- leges in the world, which McLean has not done. The State board intends to take similar action againstall those who are practicing without a certificate. The penalty for the offense is a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or imprisonment for not less than thirty days nor more than one year in the County Jail. —_—— After Dockery’s Scalp.
