SAUSAGE MAKER’S STORY.
Luetffert Makes a Statement Tn Which He
Dee! ares Hl* Wife Still Lives.
Chicago, Oct. 9.—Adolph Luetgert,
inspired by memories of Chicago day,
gave out a fiery estimate of the case the
prosecution has made out against him.
The big sausage maker gripped the burs
i>f his cell and swung his ponderous
body to and fgJ M he.talkjad of police
persecution ana the “lying evi&nice” of
those who testified against him. He
was bitter in his denunciation of the
police and Professor George Dorsey, the
chief osteological witness against him.
“1 have kept quiet about what I
thought of the case that was being
made out against me —expressed no
opinion during the trial because I.
thought by so doing I might injure my
case,” said Luetgert. “But now I will
say that in my opinion the case of the
state is weak. It is built upon lies.
“The police treated Mary Siemmer
ing shamefully. They persecuted her,
bulldozed her and threatened her. They
tried it on me when I was first placed
under arrest, but I stopped them in
short order.
.“Fulbeek, who swore that Mary
Siennnering told him ou May 3 that
Mrs. Luetgert Was upstairs in bed, is a
base falsifier. That fellow bus not been
sober a day in years.
“Dr. Dorsey, the bone expert, is a
very fresh young man. He thinks he
knows all about bones, but in my esti
mation Dr. Allport h«s forgotten more
about osteology than Dorsey ever knew.
“As I have often said before, I be
lieve my wife is still alive. I should
not have beeu surprised if she had en
tered the courtroom any day during the
long trial now nearly over. She will ba
heard from yet and tneu ail the people
who have lied about Luetgert will be
shown up to the world in their proper
light. lam au innocent man.
“My health and happiness has been
destroyed by an unjust persecution and
my fortune, the result of years of toil,
has been swept away. Today, merging
upon 60 years of age, I find myself al
most penniless and in the deepest
trouble that can come to man. I would
like to have told my story to the jury,
but my counsel thought it better'that I
remain off the witness stand. Reluo
tautlv I followed their advice. That is
all I have to say at this time.”

nese laborers are on the coast here frou
Japanese ports to fill contracts for plan

prominent Japanese in the city that
9,000 will be shipped here by Dec. 1.
It is claimed that if the islands are an

the United States, Japanese laborer!
who are here under contract may not
be forced to return to their own coun
try upon the expiration of their con
tract, aud that they will have the same

Steam Whaler Navarch Strikes
an Iceberg, and Sinks.
SURVIVORS RELATE A SAD STOET
Captain, Hl<4 Wife and Two Officer* Sac
eeed In From the Hl Fated
Craft—SeveviU of the Crew Stay by Their
Vew«et B»dl Drift Beyotrd the Aid ol
Faßisiiig bhlpa.
San Francisco, Oct. 9.—The Chron
icle says that the fate of thecre-wof the
steam whaler Navarch of New Bedford,
which was wrecked in the arctic on
Aug. 11,, is no longer in doubt- As is
already known the captain, his wife
and the first and fourth officers, who
succeeded in escaping from the vessel
after she was caught in the ice, were
picked up by the United States, revenue
cutter Bear. The other 30 men on board
the ill fated vessel.were supposed to have
perished.
The news of the death of the seamen
and the rescue of the other Ift was
brought to this city by E. M. Dias, one
of the survivors, who came down on
the steam whaler Bonanza from Point
Barrow.
Dias, who is a Portuguese, relates a
harrowing tale of suffering and starva
tion in the icebouud north. After the
Navarch had been nipped by the ice
bergs and the captain, his wife and two
of the officers had been fortunate enough
to reach open water in the gig, the
owners stayed by their vessel as long as
possible. The food supply rapidly be
came exhausted. 14 of the men died and
finally the vessel went to pieces and
sank. z
The 16 survivors tried to make thei.
way south over the ice, but soon found
themselves adrift ou a floe. For 12 days
they floated with the ice and currents,
suffering the most intense torture from
hunger. They were reduced to the
verge of starvation, and in their craving
for food ate the skins with which they
were clothea. Finally, after all hope of
rescue had beeu abandoned, the casta
ways were sighted by the steam whaler
Thresher and quickly rescued. They
were taken to Point Barrow aud given
every care aud attention.
Dias was brought to this city on the
Bonanza so that his eyes might be
treated by an oculist, his sight having
been seriously affected by the glare of
the suu on the ice. He was a third
mate of the vessel.
The names of the members of the lost
crew of the New Bedford whaler Na
varch who were saved are:
First Mate Blaine. Second Mate Egad.
Third Mate Dias, Fourth Mate Read,
Boat Header Peter and Steerers Peter,
(Jara, Santos, Andrews, Silva and
Hqlmes.
