Luetgert trial hinges on two witnesses and love letters
In Chicago on September 7 the prosecution reeled in two key witnesses. Nicholas Faber testified Luetgert and his wife entered the sausage factory on May 1. Charles Hengst swore he heard a cry from inside the factory that night, later insisting the sound was human.
