NOTHING NEW TODAY.
New UIm Murder Mystery Is Still a
Mystery.
Especial to The Free Press.l


Especial to The Free Pressl
New Ulm, Nov. 23.-George Popham,
the attorney retained by the citizens
committee, has gone to Chicago. 1t is
not known when he will return to the
city. Nothing new has been developed.
Many people here are of the opinion
that the detectives have found out about
all they will be able to. In. other words
the sleuths are up against it. They have
not, so many people are content to be-
lieve, succeeded in penetrating theGebhard
murder mystery any further than has
been stated by the newspapers. The de-
tectives are looking wise, Attorney Pop
ham is drawing his fifty simoleons per
day and the people are getting madden
and madden at each other. That is about
the situation at the present writing.
The New Ulm correspondent of The
st. Paul Pioneer Press writes:
Remarks dropped by detectives at
work on the Gerhard murder case leads
to the belief that at last motive for the
crime has been found, and that it in
wolves persons whose names have not
been mentioned in, relation to the var
ious theories that have developed from
the evidence. That the greatest SEN
sation since the murder soon is to be
sprung seems certain.
There is reason to believe that the de-
lay in arrest of DR.. G. R. Koch as the
principal and of Asa P. Brooks as Access
sorry after the fact is because no new
evidence has been secured duplicating
DR.. Koch. In fact it is accepted here as
certain that nothing exists in the shape
handkerchief that bears his initials. He
is not in the least worried over the
status of the case and has resumed his
work in his dental office
A reaction seems to be setting in
against the committee which was APP
pointed to prosecute the search for the
murderer, and it is evident from the re-
luctance of the people to add to the
amount subscribed at the mass meeting
that they have little sympathy with the
movement Not more than 5000 has been
added to the fund, which leaves it still
under ST. 800, and it is given out that
Attorney Popham has said that fund
of $4,000 would be little enough with
which to attempt to carry on the work.
The county attorney is secure in his
position, and is confident that time
will enable him to show the people that
the county is doing all that is possible
for man to do in ferreting out the muir
derer
Mr.. Popham has prepared a digest of
the evidence in hand, and left for Chi
cago to consult with several prominent
criminal attorneys. Il
Many of those who subscribed to the.
Investigating" fund have not paid over
any money and probably will not do so
for one reason and another Most all
say that the county has enough money
to carry on the work. The committee
has not as yet engaged detectives, but
possibly Attorney Popham will do so
when he reaches Chicago.
