Citizens Would Have Raised
Money for Third Trial.
New Evidence Said to Be Sc
cured Anent the Alibi.
Now Comes a Denial of Story
of a Confession.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
A gentleman from New Ulm, who
was in the city last night, said that
it is the general wish of the people of
that city that either Frank Nye, or A.
H. Hall of Minneapolis or Pierce But
Ter of st. Paul be retained to assist
Gen. Childs at the third trial of the
Koch case. As to just what will be done
has not been decided. Attorney Pfaen-
der will be in the state militia camp at
Lake City about the time of the COM
mencement of the third trial and it
seems proper that his place be filled,
according to the statement made.
The gentleman further stated that
had the county board not taken the ac-
ton that it did mass meeting would
have been called and funds raised by
private subscription to carry on the
prosecution.
Confession Story Denied.
Several persons who are familiar
with the facts of the trial and execu-
ton of Rose for the murder of Lufkin
in Redwood county have come forward
with different accounts than that given
by A. E. Clark yesterday. They say
that the evidence against Rose was so
clear that there was great astonish-
ment that any jury should have dis
agreed. AS to the alleged confession of
brother in-law of Lufkin, on his death
bed, they say that such a story was
published in some of the papers two
years ago, but that it was ascertained
to have been all mistake and that no
such confession was made. They say
that Slower, the person perhaps refer
red to, is living now in the state of
Washington. He acquired no property
because of the Id gentleman's death, as
the daughter inherited the property.
1t appears that Rose had made
threats against Lufkin's life and had
annoyed him in many ways, and finally
fired the fatal shot through the window
while Lufkin was sitting in the room
with Slower and several members of the
latter's family. Rose was at once fol-
lowed by a posse and caught after a
long chase.

There are rumors of another railroad
heading for Mankato. 1t is said this
line will run from Anamosa, Iowa,
through Austin and this city thence to
the northwest. s. B. Roberts is said
to be the promoter. Another report
has it that the new road is to be a
feeder for the Northwestern.
