the commissioner found, but in justice
to the reputation of honest and capable
men who are his subordinates in the
bureau, he ought to, before making the
charges, examine and see whether any
old soldier has got a pension or in
crease, who was not entitled to it, and
ought to publish the names of such
pensioners, giving the individual names

HAMMERS FIGURED IN. ...,.. -, ID. .
KOCH MURDER TRIAL

/ Mankato, April ao.--Attemptsa on
the part of the state to prove the
hammer, with which DIR. L. A. Geb-
llardt was murdered was the property
of DR.. G.. r. Koch, who is on trial
charged with being the perpetrator of
the crime, were features of the ninth
day S session of the second trial of the
now famous case.
Reinfold Dahm, who for six years
prior to 1908 lived or worked at the
Koch home, was the first of the ham
Inar witnesses. He positively identif-
ed the instrument shown in court as
having been in the possession of the
elder Koch, and said that he, the wit
ness, had often used it in making re-
pairs about the house. On cross-ex-
animation, he admitted that he had
formerly stated that he could not
identity the hammer, but confessed
that in this he had not told the truth.
The other witness, who was expect
ed to prove that the hammer had
been about DR.. Koch's Office for some
time, was Mrs. Kaes, a charwoman.
She surprised the state and clated the
defendant and his attorney by being
very positive that the hammer shown
Ill court was. not the one she had seen
about the young dentists office. She
declared that the hammer shown her
by detective and which she had
identified as that which had been in
} the possession Of DIR. Koch and the
hammer shown her in court were not
the same.
This testimony, and the fact that
young Dahms was shown twoN ham
mers by the defendants attorney,
tends TO the confirmation of report
that had been current TO the effect
that the hammer formerly belonging
to the. Koch family has been found
and is now in the possession OF the
defense and will be produced at the
proper time. Both Dahms and Mrs.
Kaes are new witnesses, neither hav-
ing testified at the previous trial.
