WOMAN SAW KOCH THERE ON
NIGHT OF MURDER.

More Sensational Testimony Is Being
Introduced In the Case of Dr. George
R. Koch at Mankato , for Killing
Gebhardt.
Mankato , Minn. , May 1. The ex
pected sensation wass prung at 10
o'clock this morning , when Miss Lena
Woldumnn , of Now Ulm , wns placed
on the witness stand to testify for the
state. She was remarkable looking ,
vary dark , largo , dramatic , nnd with
youthful training would have been
u tragedienne of parts. As It Is she
Is the housekeeper for a number of
bachelors In New Ulm , among them
Ferdinand Crone and Peter Folkers.
The bachelors lived on the second
tloor of the Crone block. On the night
of the murder she went out on the
porch several times. Koch's office
window was about thirty feet awtiy
from the porch.
"I wns on the porch between 8 and
9. Between 9 and 9:30 : a light ap
peared In his otllco. I saw Dr Koch
standing there. He stooped and
reached over with his right hand. I
Just saw him stoop and reach over.
He turned and the light went out. "
Cross-examined by Counsellor Ab
bott :
Crone was a member of the citi
zens' committee. "I knew as much
then before the trial as I know now.
I knew Klause. My sister married
Mr. Pfaeuder's brother. I went out
on the porch at 9:30 : , and took some
fowls In. I have known Koch a cou
ple of years. I know Koch was sus
pected after the handkerchief was
found , and I knew Koch claimed to
have gone back to put out his light ,
'and ' I Knew the state claimed that ho
i never went back at all. "
"I told Pfaender after the first trial.
I knew that If I told that I bad seen
Koch there It would corroborate
Koch's story that he went back. "
Q. And you waited on this member
of the citizens' committee three times
a day and you did not say a word
about It ? "
"No. not until after the first trial. "
"You kept a secret. "
"Yes. "
"Knowing that Koch might be
hanged because you did not come for
ward and corroborate Koch that he
returned to put out the lights ? "
"I saw the window lu hia work
room and it was between 9 and 9:30 :
I saw him there. The last time be
fore that was the same week , and 1
always saw him wiUi a slouch hat and
that night be wore a slouch hat with
a big brim That's the only time I
over noticed the light before , but no
ticed It a few minutes after the mur
der.

THE FIRST MEETING IN AMERICA
Assembled at Noon for the Formal

Exhibition Congress Will Not Go
In Session Till Tomorrow.
Washington , D. C. , May 3. Nearly
one thousand delegates , the owners
nnd operating officials of upward of
'our hundred thousand miles of rail
way In forty-four different countries ,
are gathered In Washington for the
ntornatlonnl Railway congress , which
will bo formally opened tomorrow for
i ten days' session. The congress Is
somewhat unique in its orgnnlzntlon ,
purposes nnd manner of conducting
ts affairs. It wns orgnnlzed In 1885
nnd has held sessions every five years
since. Its first session , held In Brussels
sols , celebrnted the fiftieth anniver-1
sary of the opening of the Belgian
railways. Milan , Paris , St. Peters-
iiirg nnd London hnve been meeting
places since , Paris having had two
sessions. At the session in that city
in 1000 the invitation of President Me-
Kinley to hold the next meeting In
Washington was accepted.
The congress will resolve Itself Into
five sections under the hends of way
and works , locomotives and rolling
stock , working or operation , general ,
and light railways. The technical sub
jects to be discussed under these sev
eral heads will embrace the lighting ,
lieating nnd ventilation of trains , au
tomatic block system , suburban traf
fic , the influence of light railways on
the main lines , the use of two or more
crews on locomotives , automatic coup-
lei's , electric traction bookkeeping , du
ration and regulation of work , provi
dent Institutions , Improved rail crossIngs -
Ings , nnd slow freight rates.
All papers to be presented ha.ve
been under consideration for some
years , all have been printed , and tha
delegates are thoroughly familiar with
their contents , so that they may be
readllv and Intelligently discussed.
A Dubois. honorary director of the
Belcdan state railways , Is president of
the international congress , and L.
Wolssenbruck. chief engineer and gen
eral manager of the Belgian state rail
ways , is secretary general. The hon
orary presidents , representing the rail
ways of the United States , are A. J
Cassntt and E. II. Harrlman , while
the actual president is Stuyvesant
Fish , president of the Illinois Central
railroad.
As a preliminary to the contrress
proper the delegates assembled at
noon today for the formal opening of
the Railway Appliance exhibition ,
which Is held In conjunction with the
congress. The exhibition , which Is
housed In temporary quarters on the
Washington monument grounds , is
confined almost exclusively to Ameri
can railway appliances nnd Is de
signed to promote the extension of
American trade to foreign markets.
The exhibition Includes everything
from a complete locomotive and train
do luxe to the smallest articles of
railway equipment. Several hundred
manufacturers , whose factories are lo
cated In nearly'every state of the un
ion , are represented.
This afternoon the visiting railway
chiefs were taken on an automobile
tour of the city , the trip ending at the
Stuyvesant Fish residence In Scott
Circle , where an Informal reception
was held.
One of the most Interesting features
of. the entertainment program ar
ranged for the congress is scheduled
Tor tonight. Shortly before midnight
the delegates are to assemble at the
exhibition grounds to see the flashing
of a time signal from the Naval ob
servatory , the signal to make a circuit
of the globe. The experiment Is simi
lar to that successfully tried on the
last day of last year. The delegates
will be able to trace the progress of
the signal by means of electric llghtn
on a huge map of the world ,
NEARLY FOURSCORE AND TEN
Friends Pay Tribute to Birthday of
Mrs. Klngsbury.
[ From Wednesday's Dnllv.i
Yesterday wns the eighty-ninth
birthday of Mrs. Klngsbury , mother
of Mrs. IJf. A. Rnlnbolt , and a number
of Intimate friends called at the homo

tend their slncerest congratulations
to her who has lived such a long and
such nn estimable life. Mrs , Kings-
bury spent the afternoon visiting with ,
these friends who had dropped In , ono
at ti time , to pay tribute to her birth
day , nnd to them light refreshments
wore served Informally.
Her friends feel that Mrs. Kings-
bury Is to be especially congratulated
to have attained almost four score
years and ten , and to still retln her
youthful brilliancy of mind and use
fulness.
During the evening children whoso
Identity Is unknown to Mrs. Kings-
bury brought a pretty May basket to
the home , filled with flowera of spring
fragrance which folded underneath
the following verses , which perhaps
express In truer language than other
words could , the tender regard which
her friends feel toward Mrs. Klnga-
bury , and the token of their love which ,
extend to her :
"Call her not old , ; n though the
flight of years
Has measured off the allotted term
of life !
Call her not old , since neither
doubts nor fears
Have quenched her hope throughout
the long , long strife.
"They are not old , though days of :
youth are fled ,
*
Who quaff the brimming cup of peace
and Joy !
They are not old who from life's
hidden springs
Find draughts which still refresh but
never cloy !
"The secret of perpetual youth Is
hers
Who finds delight In deeds of kind
ness wrought ;
No age can dim the luster of her
crown.
Whose days with loving ministry are
fraught ,
"Pence to her , then ! a calm unruf
fled peace !
Until her pilgrimage as last Is o'er !
Until the summons calls her homo
To greet the dear companions gone
before !
