Gottlieb Jocks, who was charged
with the murder of John Baas had a
hearing before Justice Eaton, at St.
Point, and was discharged. There is
one thing certain either the Bohemian
who accuses Gottlieb and tells a
straight story should go to Waupun
for perjury or Gottlieb ,Ioecks. appar-
emily, is guilty. The one thing need
full is that Gottlieb should arrest his
accuser and prove him perjurer or
else the public mind will hold him at
least morally guilty of the crime
charged. The solution lies in Gott-
lieb's hands.
