Relatives Of New Ulm Defendant Deny
Recent Story.

NEW ULM, Mimi. April 11.-Rela-

over a story, which they say was Civ
en- out by the state, to the effect that
an uncle of the celebrated defendant
brutally murdered a neighbor in Todd
county, Mimi, several years ago.
1t was stated that the murderer was
one Samuel Sahle, a brother of DR..
Kochs mother. Mr.. Koch had no
brother and the article in all other re-
spects was grossly exaggerated.
Members of DR.. KOch's family do
not attempt to conceal the fact that a
distant relative, a second or third
cousin, was involved in a crime in
Northern Minnesota years ago, but
contend that the facts in no wise JUS
tify the conclusions which the state is
