NO Developments.
Second Cocaine Fiend Brought to
New Uim Today.
From Saturdays Daily.

New UIm Today.
From Saturdays Daily.
There were no developments today in
the New Ulm murder case. One of the
detectives who have been working on
the case was expected to have arrived
in Mankato this morning to follow
up clue in the country adjacent to
Mankato. If he came he did not make
his presence known to the local officers.
1t is expected that there may be some
developments by Monday next, but along
what line is now merely conjecture, as
those working on the case are very re-
ticent.
A dispatch from New Ulm this after
noon says:
The second cocaine field suspect was
brought to New Ulm today and exam
ined as to his whereabouts on the night
of Nov. l, when DR.. Gerhard was MUIR
dered.
He was apprehended at Ortonville first,
then released before word from this city
was received to hold him, but was ar.
rested again yesterday at Montevideo.
Chief of Police Adolf Krause left yes
terday afternoon for that city.
Charles Bennett was released because
the men who saw the cocaine field i'm the
city some time before the murder were
positive he was not the one.
This new prisoner, however, answers
the description of the man wanted, and
it is believed will prove to be the fiend
who called on Drs. G.. r. Koch and o. c..
Stricken in their offices and demanded
dope.
The authorities are not inclined to
place much faith in the cocaine fiend
theory, despite the efforts they are max
ing in that direction. The man was seen
but one day in town and that week
or ten days before the crime was com.
mitted. If he had remained around town
during the following days, it seems GER
tain that some one would have observed
him and this no one can remember as
having done.
1t hardly seems probable that he
would have returned to the city after
having left it, though it is possible.
County Attorney Hoidale wished, how
ever, to leave no clue without running it
down. The sentiment seems to be grow
ing that A. P. Brooke, the man who saw
the final act in the awful tragedy, knows

VIEWED THE SITE.
County Board Spends Forenoon al
Vernon Center.
From fridays Daily.

: Commissioner Paddock and Auditor
Weaver returned this noon from Yer.
non Center, where they went this morn
ing with the other county commissioners
to view the site of the bridge across the
Blue Earth near there, that is asked
for by the citizens of the village. Forty
or fifty of the residents were at the site
and urged that the bridge be put in. The
matter will be taken ND at the next
meeting of the board.
1t appears that the business men of
Good Thunder do not want the bridge
put in, as it will cut off good deal of
trade from there if the people can cross
the river into Vernon Center. This fea-
ture may have bearing on the final
action of the board.

GIVEN. ONE YEAR.
Daniel J. Buckley Sentenced for Grand
a. larceny.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from TUESDAY Lazy.
This afternoon Daniel J.. Buckley APP
peared before Judge Cray for sentence.
He stated that he is thirty -one years
of age and before his arrest was an adj
vertising sign painter, working for a
New York house. He had been arrested
two or three times for drunkenness, but
never for anything more serious. He
had a wife in the east, whom he had not
seen for over two years.
]. w. Schmitt spoke on behalf of
Buckley, stating reasons why in his opin
ion the court should be lenient. He said
that Buckley had never denied that he
stole a ladies' jacket and shawl from
Joseph Stahl's residence. These could be
of no benefit to him, and he was under
the influence of liquor when he took
them. Shortly before coming to Manka-
to he was assaulted in Chicago and was
in the Cook county hospital and detain-
ed as witness. He was given NOR
phine at the hospital and had taken some
since, and was partly under its influence
when he was in Mankato. Mr.. Schmitt
asked that Buckley be not given prison
sentence on account of the stigma which
it would cast upon his life.
Judge Cray sentenced Buckley to serve
one year in the Saltwater prison, for the
crime of grand larceny in the second de-
gree, to which he had pleaded guilty.
The defendant rested yesterday after
noon in the case of George w. Turrittin

New Ulm. Nov. ll.-Charles Bennett,
the cocaine fiend, who was arrested at
Rochester, under the supposition that he
was the murderer of DR.. Gerhard, and
brought to New Jim yesterday, was re-
leased from custody last evening, it hav-
ing been fully determined that he had
no connection with the crime.
The effort to find an image of the
murderer's face in the eyes of the dead
DR.. Gerhard has failed. The strongest
glasses that could be secured in New
Ulm failed to show anything but the
texture of the eye. Frank Held, brother
pictures taken. After finding that they
would be useless in disclosing the identi-
ty of the slayer, he ordered the photo
grapher to destroy the plates.
Albert Pfaender, who has charge of
the effects of DIR. Gerhard, has told the
detectives that he will swear out a
complaint as soon as sufficient evidence
| is secured.
The detective to whom he made this
statement replied: 81 don't know when
that will be. This case is parallel for
mystery with the Durant murder case on
the coast"
The statement prepared by the COM
mittee which Intercepted DIR. Gerhard,
| is as follows:
Tuesday request was made by Will
lam E. Koch, that the county commits
sioners make an investigation in regard
to the part that Dr.. George R. Koch is
alleged to have taken in the murder of
Gerhard. Commissioners Eckstein and
Hoffman selected Charles Silverson, DIR.
| w. B. Weiser, Ferdinand Crone and A.
w. Bingham and an investigation was
made and the following statement has
been given to the public:
AT the request of William E. Koch,
County Commissioners Eckstein and
Hoffman selected the undersigned citi-
zens of New Ulm to assist them in max
ing an investigation of the rumors
connecting DR.. G. R. Koch with the Geb-
hard murder.
The undersigned constituting a com.
mittee so selected proceeded to the home
of DR.. G. r. Koch, and Intercepted him,
his two sisters, his father and college
student who rooms with DR.. Koch, as to
when the doctor came home and as to
his appearance and actions after his ar
rival home on the night of the murder.
After hearing them all and the state
ment of the doctor himself-will say
that we found nothing so far that might
lead us to believe that Doctor G. r. Koch
had any connection with the dastardly
crime so much deplored by all.
