the hand must be held steady and the
slightest wiggling on the part of Koch
would have spoiled the impression.
After the scuffie Koch was helped
up and was taken back to his cell.
He did not seem to be greatly an
gered, say the officers, but said that
he would fight to the last and that it
would be impossible for them to get
the impression until he got ready to
give it to them.
When seen by the Review reporter
relating to the possibilities which
might grow out of the episode Sheriff,
Julius refused to talk.

TROUBLE FOR TWO OFFICERS
Attempt to Force Koch's Finger
Prints Resented.
Sheriff May Lose Office and Be
Prosecuted.
Nothing But Assault on Prisoner
Say Attorneys.

Sheriff William J. Julius is in dan
ger of losing his Office, at least tenn
porarily, and the grand jury now in
session will be asked to indict both
him and Chief of Police Klause on a
charge of assault, as a result of an
attempt made by these two officers OF
the law Friday night to secure an
imprint from the hand of DR.. G. R.
Koch, now occupying a cell in the
county Jail charged with the murder
of DR.. Gebhardt.
DR.. Koch, his attorneys and friends
are up in arms over the affair, and
it would not be a surprise if the gov
ernor were asked to remove the sher-
If on a charge that he exceeded his
authority in trying to force the i'm
prints and committed nothing short
Of an assault on the prisoner.
Judge B. F. Weber characterizes
the act as an outrage and says that
sheriff or policeman has no more
right to extort evidence from pris-
oner's hands than he has to extort
confession from his lips.
ACT WAS UNLAWFUL.
The law as stated by Judge Weber
and the prisoners attorneys is that
no custodian of a prisoner has a right
to take any liberties until after a con.
viction is secured, if it is secured.
DR.. Koch was arrested shortly be.
fore eight O'Clock and soon after ar.
irving at the jail retired for the night.
According to his statement, which is
not denied by the sheriff or chief OF
police, he was taken from his bed
close to l0o'clock p. M. and led into
the corridor where the sheriff's office
is located. The two officers informed
him that they wished to secure an i'm.
print of his hands, the object being OF
course, to compare it with the imprint
left by the murderer in his hasty fligh,
through the window in DR.. Reineke's
Office.
Koch refused, saying that he had
been instructed by his attorneys not te
do SO at this time, and when the sher.

BRooKR LAST WITNEss.

! BROOKE LAST WITNESS.
I Many witnesses have been examined
and it was thought until the last day
that the work would not be completed
until Monday. Friday shortly before
] noon Asa P. Brooks was called to tes-
tify. He had been saved until the last,
as it was thought that he would be, and
he was cross-ex amined until late in the
afternoon.
With the conclusion of Mr.. Brooks
testimony the committee rested and in
a few hours a warrant was sworn out
by Henry Fl. Gebhardt, brother of the
murdered man, charging DR.. Koch
with the crime. It was served short "
before eight O'Clock on the suspected
man at his home and he was conduct
ed to the jail by Sheriff Julius.
4 FINGER-PRINT EXPERT HERE.
The committee has been sparing no
expense in it's work and engaged the
services for a couple of days of the
| finger-print expert, Mrs. M. E. Hol-
land. Mrs. Holland is said to be the
second best expert in this line of work
in the world, using a system the secrets
of which are known to be one other
| beside herself. Mrs. Holland works
in the United States while her CO.
worker is stationed at Scotland Y ards,
| England.
The expert was in the city Tuesday
and Wednesday and examined the
rooms and the finger prints left by the
murderer in his flight, but what con-
clusion she was able to draw or what
advise give cannot be known at pres
ent. She will probably be called up
on to return when the case comes up
/ for trial.

DIR. KOCH ARRESTED.
The arrest of DR.. Koch was made
Friday evening and Saturday after
noon he appeared before Justice of the
Peace N. Henningsen and through his
attorneys waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury.
The hearing was to have taken place
in the forenoon and the prisoner was
taken before the justice at a. m. For
mer Attorney General w. Fl. Childs
had been appointed by Governor Van
SAINT to prosecute the case and as he
had not yet arrived, it was agreed to
continue the hearing until the after
noon. By 1870 p. m. the time agreed
upon for the hearing the former attor-
ney general had not arrived, but it was
decided to proceed anyway and County
Attorney Hoidale appeared for the
prosecution.
PRISONER WAVES EXAMINATION.
The warrant for DR.. Koch's arrest
was read by Justice Henningsen and
the prisoner was asked what he wished
to do. Attorney Somerville arose and
stated that he would be heard through
his attorneys, Brown & Abbot of
Winona, and Somerville s. Olson of
Sleepy Eye. He said that as the grand
jury was to meet so soon and it was
likely that the proceedings in justice
court might extend to such length that
it would carry over the week and con-
flict with the jury session, the prisoner
waived examination. Thereupon Jus
tice Henningsen committed DR.. Koch
to the sheriff's care and bound him
over to the grand jury.
DR.. Koch conducted himself quietly
and without apparent excitement dur
ing the proceedings, appearing per-
fectly at ease, and chatting with the
sheriff and with his attorneys.
The arrest was the outcome of the
independent investig held by the
citizens committee appointed by the
mass meeting of several weeks ago.
It has proceeded all along on the as

Dead Body Found in Field.

The corpse of an unidentified man
was found in the cornfeld of ames b.
Hansen, three miles west of Morgan,
yesterday afternoon. The body was
badly decomposed and was frozen,
which shows that it must have been in
the field at least six weeks
There is nothing in the clothing to
indicate identity. Only one person is
reported missing in the community and
he is known to be working somewhere
in the Twin cities, SO that the body
must be that of a stranger.

STOCKS INCLINE LOWER
VOLUME OF DEALINGS is NEAR
THE MINIMUM RECORD
Apathy Exists, Due Largely to the Im-
minence of Long HoIiday-Demand for
Money in Business Is Almost Staenant
Price Changes Small.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The volume of
selling in today'S stock market was ex-
ceedingly light, but was sufficient to in
cline the balance towards lower prices.
The market did not quite reach the rec,
ord for dullneSs touched earlier in the
year on March 10, when the aggregate
shares sold amounted to only IA 900. But
today's total of 1899 shares left little
to choose between them. The imminence
of thTee-day holiday, added to the gen
eral encouragement of the speculation,
was the cause Of the aggravated apathy
of the market.
The promise of a growth in cash re-
sources of the banks to the extent of
nearly 0000, 600 stimulated no interest
in stocks OF this amount the sub
treasury has contributed 81. .645000 as the
residue of the 100000 paid to the banks
last week for the account of the Panama
republic and since depleted by the re-
call of government deposits. The flood
of currency from the interior, estimated
to have amounted to upwards of $S,OOo,-
900 in favor of New York, is given an
almost sinister import on account of the
differences of Stagnant demand for money
in business. The receipts of national
bank notes for current redemption at
Washington also amounted to $1,3S6.97S
for the day. The course to be disclosed
by the loan item in tomorrow's bank
statement and its effect on the surplus
reserve were regarded with little atten-
tion. as it is patent that 1t is not for
want of capital sources available that
the stock market is stagnant and ne
elected.
