    18 THE ONE THING THAT MAY
SAVE DR. KOCH'S LIFE.
. , WEB OF EVIDENCE ABOUT HIM
G The Circumstantial Chain of Evidence
Which Has Been Wrapped About
{ ' Dr. George R. Koch , at New Ulm ,
f Is Astoundingly Complete.
Dr. Koch was In the barber shop
under Gebhard's office less than fif
teen minutes before the murder was
committed.
Ho passed the window of the Ue-
i ? view office , adjoining Gebhard's stairway -
way , Just before a man was heard to
stalk heavily up the stairs.
A Imudkorch'Icf bearing the Initials
"G. II. K. " was found stained with
ji ( ? blood In the murdered dentist's room.
A pencil , such as Koch received less
than an hour before the murder was
committed , was found In a pool of
' blood at the dead man's side.
Koch's father had a hammer simi
lar to the ono witli which the dentist
was killed and ono witness positively
identified it as the actual hammer.
Dr. Gebhard received a bottle sup
posed to contain poison the week be
fore ho was murdered. The state has
proved that this was strychnine.
The poison was sent in a box such
as Dr. Koch received from the Parke-
Davls company shortly after October
W 7. The package was addressed to
Gebhard on a typewriter that was
kept in a room adjoining the office of
Dr. Koch.
Dr. Strlckler , Dr. Koch's ofilcomate ,
missed stychnlne from this bottle ( lur
ing October.
J.i The word "sample" on the poison
j' ! box is in Koch's writing.
i" Dr. Koch told a farmer that some
one was going to kill Dr. Gebhard.
Ho told a young man In New Ulm
that Gebhard was a two-faced of
Dr. Koch's hands were seen to have
sores upon them the day after the
murder and were seriously burned on
Friday following the murder.
Now Ulm , Minn. , Jan. 13. The
state has rested Its case against Dr.
George R. Koch for the murder of Dr.
L. A. Gebhard.
It has also won a signal triumph by
securing a ruling from Judge Webber
whereby Asa P. Brooks , the only eye
witness of the homicide , was called
to the stand by the court and both
sides permitted to cross-examine.
The ruling of Judge Webber , deny
ing the motion of the defense to com
pel the state to call BrnnUa is most
important for ihe state. When the
court decided to call Brooks on Its
own motion , the state not only gained
the right to cross-examine the witness -
ness , but to impeach him. The defense -
fense took an exception to the ruling ,
and will , in case the verdict goes
against them , plead It as an error in
a motion for a now trial , or an appeal
to the supreme court.
Brooks on the Stand.
The importance of Judeo Webber's
action was seen when Brooks took
the stand this morning. When the
court asked him if ho knew the man
ho had seen in Geblmrd's office , he
replied in the negative. When the
court followed that question with
"Was that man this defendant ? " he
made the negative more emphatic.
Brooks' testimony is practically
identical with the statement ho made
immediately after the murder , al
though the state is striving to break
down his testimony by securing ad
missions that he had told varying
stories to people about New Ulm. He
made no admissions , although ho was
Induced to say that the man wore a
black slouch hat far back on his head
and then to say that he had either a
slouch hat or a heavy mass of black
hair. The state's impeaching witness
es will be called later.
Admission by Brooks.
General Childs questioned the wit
ness as to the testimony he had given
before Justice N. Hennlngsen at the
Investigation of the citizens' commit
tee. He asked Brooks If he had not
testified at that investigation that
the man he had seen in Gebhard's of
fice answered more closely to the de
scription of Dr. Koch than It would to
any other man he know In New Ulm.
Brooks admitted that ho had.
ADVERTISING WILL INCREASE i
c '
] / ' Business Men of the Future Will Use
More Publicity Than Now. |
Alfred Paschal , ot the advertising i
department at John Wanamaker's
Philadelphia store recently , made the
following remarks on advertising for
the merchant before the members of
the Mercantile association at Wil-
mlngton , Del. , last week :
'
\ "Advertising is an introduction for
merchandise to consumers ; from the
merchant to his customer. It should
bo frank , explicit , pleasant , and the
goods back of the advertisement
should make strong the introduction ,
or they will discredit the introduction
and themselves ; a worse condition
than if there bad been no advertising.
"Advertising in the newest science
of business perhaps the leant un
derstood ; certainly the most various
ly treated.
"The merchant knows why he
4
bought merchandise , what its merits
are , why it Is butter In Quality than
Homo other ; or why It is moro attrac
tive In price.
"Tho advertisement la the letter of
correspondence telling these things-
tolling them so that the story will bo
forceful nnd Impressive ; so the Intro
duction will bo pleasing nnd attrac
tive.
"It Is needless to go Into any dis
cussion of the expediency of advertis
ing. No merchant today wants or at
tempts to hldo his light under n bush
el. All wish to exploit their goods.
It IH not only the fashion , but the ne
cessity of the times in which wo live.
"Advertising Is growing dally moro
urgent , because of the existing poli
cies of business. Merchants do not
follow the practice of a half century
ago , nnd buy merely whnt their trndo
demands. They purchnso the output
of the factories or mills and then must
create the market which will take the
goods and return their money.
"In this condition Is the certainty
that the future Is going to demand
moro advertising than the present ;
and the indication thnt advertising
problems must bo moro carefully
studied than they have been.
"The situation needs the wise Judg
ment of largo experience or expert
discrimination. Its outcome is often
the difference between profit and loss.
"Everybody has , or ought to have ,
enthusiasm in his own merchnndiso ;
enthusiasm In tolling about it. If ho
cannot Indulge this feeling ho had
bettor not attempt to advertise. Hut
enthuslnsm should not over-ride con
servative expression , the advertise
ment would butter underestimate than
overestimate.
"Remember this , always , in adver
tising :
"You are appealing to the great , big
broad , level-headed , clear-eyed av
erage class the mnss of Intelligent
American citizens not the wealthy
nor the very poor. The former look
nfter their own wants , the latter are
forced by their necessities , and both
are too small a class and too Indiffer
ently Interested for successful adver
tising appeals.
"Tho middle class is an omnivorous
reader , n keen discriminator and nl-
wnys has money to spend. Of this
good class the women are most re
sponsive to advertising suggestion
they do the family providing and
spending ; and somehow they like to
read advertising and follow it up.
The successful advertiser does not fall
to take note of and cater to the pref
erences of human nature.
"For quick Introductions and speedy
results there have been nnd there
are no means of advertising today
equal to the dally press , anything dif
ferent or bettor for publicity-making
will have to be created. The Ameri
can people are the best educated in
the world ; certainly the most alive
and alert , and as surely the most uni
versal of readers.
"They arc always poring over the
pages of the latest edition of the
newspapers ; and hence , In the news
papers they read is the place where
the well prepared advertisement has
the best opportunity of being seen and
read.
"And that publication which by Its
news and character attracts and In
terests most people In each communi
ty Is generally the one In which ad
vertisers find the best returns for
their advertising expenditure. "
WILLIAM KELLY DIED IN CALI
FORNIA YESTERDAY.
WENT WEST FOR HIS HEALTH
Formerly a Bookkeeper in a Crelgh-
ton Office , and Leaving Many Rel
atives In That Place to Mourn His
Loss , He Succumbs After Hard Fight

The deceased was a promising
young citizen of Crelghton. He was

O. II. Wertz and Co. , up until the time
that he left for the milder climate of
the west. He leaves a wife , one
child , a father , William Kelly of this

MINNESOTA DENTIST TRYING TO
PROVE INNOCENCE.
REGARD PENCIL AND HAMMER
The Defense IB Making a Strenuous
Effort to Finish the Case Claim
They Will Prove the Hammer and
Pencil are False Clews.
Nosv Ulm , Minn. , Jan. M. After sil
ting lor six days listening to the evi
dence ngnlnst him , Or. Uoorgo R.
Koch , on trial for the murder of Dr.
L. A. Gebhard , had his inning this
morning when Senator Sommervlllo
opened for the defense.
Senator Somervllle In a speech lastIng -
Ing nn hour and n half , reviewed the
state's evidence , nnd then oxplnlnud
the line of defense. Ho ridiculed several -
oral of the contentions of thu Htato ,
and .said thnt such evidence would In-
dlcnto thnt Dr. Koch WIIH n fool rath
er than a criminal. He hoped not
only to ncqult Dr. Koch , but to oxon-
ernte him from all connection with
the crime.
Several witnesses were then sworn
to Impeach ISdgnr Dingier , who Iden
tified the hammer found In Dr. Gob-
hnrd'H olllco , as one that belonged to
Dr. Koch's father.
Some of these witnesses said that
Dingier had told them lie wns to re-
celvo n monetary consideration for
his testimony. Others wworo that his
reputation for truth nnd voracity wns
not good. The stnte , however , on
cross-examination , scored by drawing
out admissions from two of the im
peaching witnesses that they had
been convicted in court of misdemean
ors.
Somcrvllle's Address Effective.
Senator Somervllle's opening ad
dress was clear nnd forcible. It explained -
plained ninny points thnt have
weighed strongly against the defen
dant , and some of the jurymen wore
seen to nod as If In approbation. Ho
said in part :
"This case Is perhaps the most Im
portant , as well as the most expen
sive , over tried In Urown county.
This defendant Is being tried for his
life , nnd his conviction means death
upon the gallows. Every man accused
of a crime has public opinion against
him. Christ himself was crucified be
cause of an orroreous public opinion ;
every Christian that has been burned
at the stake suffered because of pub
lic opinion , and if one of you gentle
men were to be accused of a crime ,
you would have public opinion against
you.
"General Cliilds In his opening ad
dress told you thnt there are two
kinds of murders ; that which Is com
mitted In the heat of pnsslon and that
which Is premeditated. The crime
charged in this indictment wns a pre
meditated crime. It Is ono which re
quires the devilish scheming and
planning of a criminal. This young
man , born and educated in this city ,
is not that kind of n man. Look ut
his face ; his genteel appearance.
Does thnt Indicate to you thnt ho
would commit that kind of a crime ?
I say that ho could not , for n mnu
with those criminal proclivities would
! manifest them In other ways before
| reaching the age of maturity.
Points Out Alleged Absurdities.
"Tho state has presumed that the
| mnu who killed Dr. Goblinrd 111:1110(1 : (
! poison to him and on that bottle of
poison wrote in his own handwriting
the word 'sample' as a kind of calling
card. Why , that is preposterous. We
will show you thnt Dr. Koch has in
his office enough nrsonlc to kill fifty
men. Does It stand to reason that he
would steal strychnine from a broth
er doctor and send that bitterest of all
poisons , when ho could have taken the
arsenic , a sweet and pleasant tasting
poison , but just as fatal ?
"Then they presume to say that he
climbed over the partition Into a room
In the Insurance office and used an old
threshing machine of a typewriter to
address that poison , when in his own
office there was a typewriter and In
the office of his brother-in-law two
moro , to which he could have had easy
access.
Pencil and Hammer.
"They have laid great strcess upon
the finding of a lead pencil near the
dead body. They said Dr. Koch re
ceived such a pencil a few minutes
before the murder. Wo will admit
that ho received the pencil , but wo
will produce it in court and prove to
you that ho had it all the tlmo.
"Tho Identification of the hammer
has been another point which they
have argued against Dr. Koch. Wo
propose to show you that the hammer
in question belonged to Dr. Gebhard.
Wo will bring in a close personal
friend of Dr. Gebhard's , who will
swear that ho had seen the hammer
in Dr. Gebhard's office. Asa P. Brooks
will swear that ho borrowed the ham
mer of Dr. Gebhard and wo will even
show to you where ho got the ham
mer.

A PLEASING OPERA.
[ From Tupulny's Dnllv 1
Beggar Prince Company Made Good
in "Fra Diavolo. "
The Beggar Prince Opera company
under the management of Mr. F. A.
Wade , presented to a pleased audience
in the Norfolk Auditorium last night
"Fra Diavolo , " and made good from the
rlso of the curtain on the first act to
its fall on the last scene , and should
the company ever como to Norfolk
again It will not bo difficult to again
fill the play house to capacity as was
done last night. It was the host en
tertainment , by far , that has been giv
en this season nnd the theater-going
public of Norfolk is bound to give
them advertisement. G. B. Brontl In
the leading role Is a big man with a
big voice and clever In the part. Ho
possesses a magnificent range and all
tones are well produced though ho
was somewhat hoarse last night. F.
A. Wade and Jack Spauldlng kept the
audience In continual good humor with
their drolleries. F. W. Walters with
his pleasing tenor and fine ftguro was
a prime favorite In the hero rolo. Miss
Irene Palmer , the Inn keeper's daugh
ter proved most attractive In voice
and form and her singing in the dis
robing nnd night scene wns partic
ularly pleasing. Miss Gertrude Hutch-
eson as Lady Pomola was scarcely
second In popularity with her hearers
and the part of I-ord Ro Burg was
well sustained by Jay C. Taylor. The
chorus was not largo , but was mighty
for its size and the entire company
was well balanced throughout nnd
niado nn impression thnt will be lastIng -
Ing in Norfolk. Mr. Wade , the come
dian of the company , kept the audi
ence in good humor and was obliged
to respond to a number of encores.
The S. R , O. sign was dusted off and
hung up before S o'clock.
The Presbyterian missionary tea
held at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. J.

re.The
The attempt niado Wednesday was
significant. First tliero was n reso-
utlon asking for Hurkctl'H stand on
( ooKovoll'H policy. This resolution
lad been written thioo days , and hold
tack waiting until they were Hiiro
Hurkett was too far away to appear
ind answer. But ho promptly wired
hat ho was almolnloly with KOOHO-
volt , and spoiled the effect of the
trick.
Next tlioy tried to slur him over the
shoulders of the Lincoln poHtmastor.
Phis resolution had also been writ
ten tliroo days. It was presented by
1 member who once openly bolted a
opublican caucus on United States
senator. It was supported by eight
populists , two disappointed canill-
lates for speaker , two members from
Dietrich's county , three from Omaha
and four members of the crowd from
Lancaster. Its only effect was to show
that the antl-Burklett conspirators
were ready to play any desperate
game.
It Is learned that some members
tiavo been sent for to como to Omaha ,
and that up there they have been told
In certain quarters that "there will
bo a big surprise for the llurkott
crowd before Tuesday. "
An Incident occurred In the notel
lobby here last night which shows tbo
real source of much of the "anti-Bur-
Icett sentiment. " A reporter of the
World-Herald , who Is known to bo In
the pay of the conspirators , Imper
sonated a member of the house , and
told another member how "wo nro goIng -
Ing to work a plan to beat Burkett. "
He divulged the fact that "It can bo
done by having a caucus nnd getting
n secret ballot Then we can boat
him. and will lie able to vote against
him In open Kestlnn Tuesday" On
Inquiry the pretended member turned
out to ho the Omaha reporter . II Is

TYPEWRITER EXPERTS BATTLING
OVER QUESTION.
SOME SAY HE DID ; OTHERS NOT
The Case in Which Dr. George R.
Koch , the Dentist at New Ulm ,
Minn. , Is Charged With Murdering
Gebhard , Nears the Close.
Now Ulm , Minn. , Jan. IS. The
Koch murder trial has at last re
solved Itself into a battle of exports.
Tills battle is being fought to prove
to the jury that the address on a cer
tain box of poison mailed to Dr. Geb
hard a week before ho was murdered
was written on a certain Smith Pre
mier typewriter which was kept in the
iiiburanco ofllce adjoining the ofllce of .
Dr. Koch.
The experts sworn for the state said
positively that It was , while those
sworn for the defense are just as pos
itive that It was not.
Ever since the state swore t\vo type
writer experts from the city office of
the Smith Premier Typewriter com
pany In SL Paul , who said that the
address on the package of poison was
written on the machine which they
produced in court , and which was in
the insurance company's offlco hero
the month of October , 1904 , the de
fense has promised to break down this
testimony.
Just before noon the work was
started , when tho. first expert for the
dofoniio wnn sworn. Ho wan shown <
the mnehlno and asked to point outltii ' - " ' '
defect ! ) , lie examined It critically f\ \
and found that several of thu typo bars t , |
were IOOMO and that the alignment
wan bad.
Experts Disagree.
Ho finally examined the address on
the box and mild that In bis opinion
It wns not written on the machine In
question.
Ouo of the strongest polntn In favor -
vor of the defense wan thu testimony
of thin export that the address on the
botllu of poison wan written by an
experienced operator and not by a
novice.
Several other exports are hero ready
( o testify In the eaiio who , having ox-
amlnod the address carefully , say that
there Is no doubt that the address
was written liy no mo ono who Is not
u novice.
There Is no evidence In the case to
show that Dr. Koch over operated u
typewriter , and the defense bellovoH
thlii will go a long way toward prov
ing that ho did not write the address
on ( he hotlllo.
WILLIAM ZORGE SETS FIRE TO
EXCELSIOR COUCH.
POLICE GET THERE IN TIME
Touching n Flaming Match to Hla
Downy Bed In n Steel Cnge at the
City Jail , Zorge Is Wrapped In
Smothering Smoke Quite Quickly.
Having made nn unmit'ccsHful at
tempt to burn up the Norfolk city Jail
during the night , and having only the
day heforo tried to burn a building on
the Butlorficld ranch north of the city ,
where ho was employed , William
Xorgo , convicted yontordny of steal
ing an overcoat , mittens and gloves ,
has boon lodged in the county Jail.
Ho was taken to Madison yesterday
afternoon by Chief Larkln and It Is
suggested by Norfoilc police that ho
will bear watching In the county's
prlHon.
When arrested , Xorgo was searched
by the olllaorn thoroughly. Every
thing that could ho found In Ills pock
ets , Including matches and knives and
keys , was taken out. It was thought
that every match had boon removed.
Later developments spoiled this the
ory-
Starts Fiire-l n Bed ,
Xorgo started a tire In thu bed where
ho was lodged. The bunk was made
of excelsior , a highly Inlltunmahlo ma
terial , and with the mere touch of a
blazing match the whole couch became -
came Immediately wrapped In fren
zied flame. The screeching of a fel
low jailbird attracted the attention of
the officers just In tlmo to find the cell
choked with smothering smoke , nnd
just in time , too , to dig Zorgu out be
neath It. Later lie declared that ho
was drunk and didn't realize what ho
was doing.
At the ranch ho tried to set fire
to the. house just before he departed
with his appropriated wnrdrolio. Al
though lie at first denied every charge
to the police , ho later broke down be
neath a sweating from the officers
and admitted that ho was guilty of
the tliofl , and gave the location , fttr-
thur , of n grip which lie had stolen
also.
