Gen. Cnilds quoted from the Hen
ningsen hearing, to the effect that
Brooks said that he did not recognize
who the ma nwas or was not, that he
was not satisfied in his own mind about
this. Witness admitted this. Gen.
Childs quoted from the testimony given
! by Brooks at the hearing, to the effect
that he did not know whether Mr. Som
erville examined Koch's hands, and that
he did not examine them Witness had
no recollection of giving that testimony,
and would not say that he did not give
it. He presumed that the questions
and answers were made as quoted, but
the answers were incorrect. Witness
said that Gen. Childs and Mr.. Pfaender
had never threatened him. He got up
on the banister to see what was going
on. Did not hear any noise while going
up stairs. Had gone up on theory that
there was trough house"
"Now, Mr. Brooks, why did YOU get
up upon the banister to attract atten-
ton so as to be let in ?" asked Gen.
Childs. IT.: '.-~.a
Il can't say why, only that 1 did it,
replied the witness.
Answering Mr.. Somerville, the witness
said that he did not believe that he
had given the testimony quoted, regard
ing the examination of the hands,.
How many people were questioning
you at that examinations"
"About six. Everybody was buttino
in" s... .'#
Nobody was charged with the

"Who is this man Shepard, referred
to-"
"A representative Of the Minneapo-
lis News"
"A sensational repQrter?"
every"
'Isnt it a fact that the newspaper
boys generally like to exaggerate?"
Gen. Childs objected, and the court
sustained the objection
The witness went on and told of his
conversation with Shepard. He said
that the, witness, was the representa-
tive OF the Pioneer Press, Dispatch and
Journal, and if Shepard sent story to
his paper that had no truth in it it
would make trouble for witness with
This papers. Shepard did send in an I'M
truthful and garbled story, and witness
told him next day that he had made
trouble for him with mis- papers and his
friends. and that he wouldn't stand for
it any longer and ordered him out of
the office, telling him he would give him
no news Shepard suggested that Koch
be taken to Gebhard's office to see
whether witness could identify him
through the transom in the same posi-
ton that the murderer was. Shepard
SAID 1T would make a good story, but
witness said that he was not in that
kind of business. Witness denied hay
ing any telephone conversation regard
ing change of hats. The scoop of
Shepard was the beginning of losing
