SAYS MRS. LUETGERT IS ALIVE.
Probable Fate of Three Negroes for
Murder,
Dallas, Polk county, Dec.ll The
Interest in the trial of Allen Logan, at.
Dallas is intense, and the court room
was crowded."
Logan appears very calm and smiled
occasionally during the examination
of the wlttncsses.
At the opening of the court, Drs.
W. II. Hyrd and R. Cartwrlght, of Sa
lem, were called to the witness stand
to testify regarding the fractures on
Sylvester's skull, which was" shown by
Dr. J oues",the Lebanon physician. The
doctors confirmed the theory put forth
by Dr. Jones that the fractures were
caused by some heavy Instrument.
Mrs. Sylvester was on the stand but
her testimony was not of much Im
portance. She said her husband was
trying to make peace a.uong a number
of person who had engaged In a row
when the fatal blow was struck by
Logan.
The state rested the case and wit
nesses for the defense were then called.
Drs. Butler, Ketch urn and Babbett
all agreed that the rents upon the
ikull of Sylvester, produced In court,
could have been caused only by the
use of some heavy Instrument. , They
were positive that the fractures were
not on the skull at the time the cor
oner's Inquest was held.
All of the evidence for the defense
was in by 3:30 yesterday and Judge
Burnett then announced that counsel
on both siees could have two hours'
time In wlil.th to make their argu
ments. J. J. Whitney, of Albany, opened
for the state and he was followed by
J. K. Weatherford and W. S. Mc

able manner. In his closing sentence
he informed the jury that the state
had abandoned the chargo of murder
in the first degree, but held that a
verdlct.for murder in the second de
gree should be recorded.
Judge Burnett delivered his Instruc
tions to the lury and they retired
The general opinion was thatLogan
ought to be convicted of manslaughter
and it is thought that such will bo the
Jury's verdict.
LATEK TUB VERDICT.
Dallas, Dec. 11. The Jury In the
Logan case this morning brought In a
verdict of "not guilty."
Impanelling the Jury was begun
Thursday at 1 o'clock and at 9 that
night the state had Introduced all its
testimony but two physicians and
Mrs. Sylvester, wife of the murdered
man, twenty In all.
Judge Burnett pushed the trial
with his usual expedition, and al
though the defense Introduced wit
nesses, the whole examination was
concluded In four hours.
In many states the trial would
have lasted weeks. There is no doubt
but the general feeling of sympathy
for young Logan contributed to clear
ing him There can be no new trial
as the verdict was acquittal. District
Attorney Mayden Introduced the
mashed sko jyln evidence, but It was
claimed Lliat the fractures were made
since. The boy has experienced a tor-.

Mrs. Luctgert Alive.
Boston, Dec. 11. The Globe says:
"Mrs. Luetgcrt, the supposed vic
tim of the sausage-maker murderer
so-called, In Chicago, Is alive and
well. Mrs. Luetgcrt was seen In this
city during the month of July, ac
knowledged her Identity, besides giv
ing more or less explanation relative
to the reasons which caused her to
leave her husband, who Is again to be
tried for his life."
Such was the startling declaration
made by John Scholield, of St. Louis,
to a Globe man. Schoflcld supple
mented this statement further with
the positive assurance that Mrs. Lcut
cert was at the house, No. 7 Bullfinch
place, for a period of three or four
days during the mladlc of July last.
He said he had gained the assurance
of the fact that Mrs. Leutgcrt while
In Boston acknowledged her Identity,
with the assurance that she left her
husband because of his actions with
other women, as well as for reasons
which she thought would help In his
financial embarrassment in business.
fie further asserted that he believed
Mrs. Luetgcrt was still in Boston, and
that she would yet ho found.

Fiends.
Wesson, M1s9., Dec. 11. Full par
ticulars of one of the most atrocious
crimes ever recorded have Just come
to hand. Almost the entlro family
of Brown Smith, a respectable white
farmer, 35 years of age, were brutally
killed with a club in the hands of
Charles Lewis, a black liend. Smith
was working at a gin a few miles from
his home, which Is situated about 21
miles from Pearl river, op the east
bank, In Lawrence county, a wild
country. The huuso Is off the main
road, and no white family lives
within two miles or It. though several
negro families live near,
It was one of these negros, who, on
Wednesday, some time belt een noon
aud night crept up to Smith's house
and most brutally assaulted Mrs.
Smith, then brained her and, to hide
hlscrimc,ho tried to kill the children,
only sparing a babe which he left
uutouched. The fiend's work was not
done as well as he thought, for ono of
the children, a girl five years old, re
gained consciousness, and when her
father returned, told him the name of
the brultc. The mother and four
children were found dead In the yard,
their condition showing how they had
struggled to escape the brute.
A posse was organized, and the ne
gro was Raptured and taken to Monti
cello, th county beat of Lawrence
county, ftnd was carried back to the
scene of fliis crime, where he was fully
identities by the little gin.
The accused negro Is being tried be-
rorc justice iioimcs. lie nas given
testimony Implicating two other ne
groes, "yill Powell and Andy Smith,
who are1 in custody. It is said the ne
groes will not bo lynched, but tha
the recent lynchlnir at Monroe will be
Imitated, making it public, and that
every negro will be made to carrj
pine knots to burn the others. The
trial Isfbcing conducted in a lawful
manner, and the company havechargi
of tho prisoners, and will not permit
them to be sent to any Jail.
During thetilal, Lewis broke down
and cenfessed:
"It's mlghcy hard for mo to suffer
for what some one else Imp done."
Upon being allowed to talk further,
he said:
"Get Will Powell and Andrew
Smith."
Lewis Is a mulatto about 29 years
of age and married. It Is believed
that a general clean up will be made
in this section, and a number of ne
groes will be lynched.

Other
Criminal News Gathered
From All Sources.
Washington, Dec. 11. An Investi
gation now being made by offltclals of
the congressional library and ofllctuls
of the poslofilce department promises
to throw a great deal of light upon
the recently widely discussed shortage
of tho former librarian, Alnsworth It.
S,)offord.
It will he remembered that nn In
vestigation by the treasury depart
ment about a year ago showed Libra
rian Spofford to be about $30,000 short
In his accounts'. Few peoplo who
knew him looked upon this tit the
time as anything more than an evi
dence of clerical negligence in his do
partment. It now appears that a
large part.if not all ot this deficiency,
which Spofford promptly made good
oul of his own pocket, will bo ac
counted for by a great batch of old
money orders, wh'ch tho absent
minded librarian forgot to cash.
The Dostofllco department gets a
great many records of money orders
from postmasters .which are never
presented for payment by tho parties
receiving them. Tho numberof theso
uncashed orders addressed to tho
librarian ot congress Is perhaps
greater than all the others combined.
Whllo Mr. Spofford was in olllce, Mr.
Mctcalf, chief of tho money order div
ision, frequently notitled the libra
rian that there were orders on hand
which he would cash Sometimes ho
would get a few In response to the
notifications and sometimes not.
Since J. Russell Young has been
placed In chargo of the library, ho
and First Assistant-General neath
have made a systematic search of the
old library records, and tucked away
In ono place they have unearthed hun
dreds of old orders which tho formor
librarian had put asldo and appar
edtly forgotten. Just what tho total
sum will amount to has not yet been
established, but It probably will come
near wiping out tho discrepancy In
Mr. Spoiiord's accounts. Some of the
orders date back 22 years, and ono of
tho largest was for $30.
Many of tho orders havo expired by
limitation, but they will all be paid
by cashier's warrants on the treasury,
and tho money will bo turned over
to Mr. Spofford up to tho amount
that he has paid out in rectifying hli
own accounts.

Roasted In a Smokestack.
San I'ltANCiSCO, Dec. 11. Michael
Purcell, a boiler-maker, was making
some repairs Inside the smokestuck of
the steamer Wellington, at the Fol-eom-Btrcet
wharf.-when tho fires were
carelessly started below him. Ho
was strapped in a chair suspended
from tho top of tho stack 40 feet from
the dampers below. It was Impossible
togo up, and to go down without as
sistance meant being roasted alive.
Dense volumes ot hot smoke began
sailing up the stack, whllo Piircell
shouted loudly for help, The beat In
creased every moment until the boiler
maker's clothing caught (Ire. He
beat on the pipe with all his might,
and shouted for full 10 minutes be
