Three Witnesses Placed On Stand In Luetgert Murder Case
In Chicago on September 1 three prosecution witnesses testified in the Luetgert murder trial. Frank Bralk, the sausage factory night watchman, described movements of Luetgert on May 1 and the handling of caustic potash barrels. Photographer Charles P. Melander identified factory views, and Agatha Tosch, wife of a saloonkeeper, spoke of Luetgert's behavior and urged secrecy about the supposed smoke from the plant. Tosch recounted Luetgert's hostile remarks toward his wife and his expressed intent to harm himself if not for his children. The defense sought clarity on how Mrs. Luetgert died. the court ruled the indictment need not specify the death method. In another note, an accounting expert in Wiestra, Kansas, reported a county treasurer shortage totaling over 82,000 with prior terms showing no suspicion, and total shortages likely surpassing 40,000.
