Divorce Case Tried.

lit possible, they ask, that DIR. Koch
is not guilty?
Hauert's neighbors said of him that
| three glasses of beer would make him a
dangerous man. 1t was in such a
frenzy as this that he called at the
house of his neighbor, the farmer who
identified the hammer, and threatened to
brain the family.
Hauert, from what the detectives have
learned, might have gone into the Otto
Meyer block on the night of the murder,
for the purpose of quarreling with DR..
Reineke. Dr. Reineke's office door was
locked, but through the reception room
of Dr. Gebhard's office Hauert might
have gained access to DR.. Reineke's
rooms. If he was in drink and intended
to carry out his threat of killing DR..
Reineke, his mind was in state of
frenzied excitement. He might have
been attracted by the lights in DR..
Gebhard's workroom, and have entered
there. Perhaps his desire for killing
was so great that he wreaked his ven
geance on the first human being he met.
This theory which is bruited about
the streets is in consonance with the
brutal manner in which DR.. Gerhard was
slaughtered.
Every effort to find Hauert has fail
ed.
A dispatch to The Minneapolis Tribune
states that Asa p. Brooks has never
made the statement that he could iden-
tify Louis Spreng, the man committed to
the hospital for the insane at Rochester
from here November %, as the murder
er of DR.. Gerhard.
Suspicion against Spreng is not new;
in fact, as it was one of the first clues
followed up by the detectives, but moth
ing came of it at that time and it is
not believed that anything will now.
Spreng's insanity is of mild sort,
and seems to run more along the line of
women than anything else.
The only act of violence known to
have been committed by him is when
he broke in the door at the home of
Miss Preisinger. He says he thought
the girl wanted to see him, but after
he got inside he was perfectly mild and
left without trouble.
The Free Press published a story sew
eral weeks ago which related to Spreng, {
although his name was not mentioned
therein.
