THE KOCH TRIAL
important Evidence by Witness FOR
the State.

important Evidence by Witness For
the State.
st. Paul, Mimi, April 27.-Fred En-
colbert, one of the jurors in the first
trial of DR.. Koch, was a most impor-
tant witness for the state today In it's
claim that Dr.. Gebhardt was murdered
at or about $3.50 o'clock on the even
ing OF November last. 90
Engelbert is the proprietor of the
saloon across the street from the, Geb-
hardt office. He testified that William
kavanaugh came into his saloon, about
9:4O o'clock on the night of the. mur-
der Engelbert said, Kayapaugh;s arr
rival was after the meeting with
Brooks, who told Of trouble in ,Geb7
hardts Office. ''
If tie state can show that the murz
der occurred at or about $3.50 O'Clock it
will mean much, as Koch's family -tes-
tilted at the former trial that he
reached home about $40 on the night
of the murder The defense attempted
to show that the murder occurred later
than $3.50, and that Koch was at home
when 1t occurred. ~ -a =.

LOTTERY TICKETS

Officials of the United States gov.

GET RICH QUICK
I MINING COMPANY
AT AKRON SOLD OUT BY THE
CONSTABLE FOR A SONG.
Investors Lost Thousands--Assets
Were Few Bags Of Gold Dust
and an Office Desk or Two.

Akron, o., April PA constable's
sale of two bags Of gold and the office
fixtures of the Sequin Gold Mining Co.
on street corner here yesterday told
the final chapter in a concern 1t which
Akron people have lost between s15,-
600 and 10000 and others in northern
Ohio thousands more. ~ ~
The sale was to satisfy the claim OF
Sumner. Nash, secretary and treasurer
of the company. The proceeds did not
satisfy the claim by several thousand
dollars, and the returns were not in
money, as he bic in the property him
self, giving credit for s275 of his claim
for the two bags of gold.
Stockholders of. the company have
learned that they paid their good
money for stock in a company that did
not own the mine which 1t was oper-
ating. Mr.. Mash was secretary and
treasurer and director of the COM
pany the greater part of last year. The
longer he was connected with 1t the
more he learned of its condition until
he refused to ask his friends to go into
it and finally resigned. tat.
He discovered that the title to the
Sequin mine, which is located in
Plumas county, Cal, was not in the
company's name, but that deed for
it was being held in escrow by the re-
corder OF Plumas county, and that
when the president of the company, M.
G. Miller of Minneapolis, should pay
over the amount that the owners we're
to receive, many thousands of dollars,
the title would pass to the Sequin COM
pany. But the time expired for the
payment of the purchase price, and the
mine reverted to its original owners.
Miller is in southern Mexico, promot-
ing big corporation of some kind,
and cannot be reached. fa'F

RUSSIAN CONTRACTS
Vice President of Bethlehem Com.

Bethlehem. Pa, April 27.-Edward
M. McIlvaine, vice president of the
Bethlehem Steel corporation, and pres
ident of the Bethlehem Steel Co.,
whose plant is located here, and who is
the only authorized one in this coun-
try to talk for Mr.. Schwab, speaking
tonight in regard to the reports from
st. Petersburg which announced that
the Russian government had awarded
to Charles NJ. Schwab the contract to
construct many ships for the new Rus
sian navy, said:
Il have not heard from Mr. Schwab
regarding the contracts which the pub
lie prints say has been awarded to
him for battleships for the Russian
navy If the information is correct
the Bethlehem Steel Co.. would un-
doubtedly be called upon to supply
all of the ordnance, and probably as
much of the armour plate as it could
manufacture.
1T is not true as reported, that the
Bethlehem works are several months
behind in the contract to furnish plate
to the United States for vessels now
building.
"The fact is that Bethlehem is over
a year ahead of its contract time in
its deliveries.
IF Mr.. Schwab has the contract. as
reported, undoubtedly all of the ship
building concerns in this country,
which have to be called upon, as the
yards controlled by the Bethlehem
Steel corporation could not complete
such a program within any reasonable
time"

NO SOLUTION
OF the Mystery In the Finding a Hu.
man Arm at Canal Dover.


Canal Dover, April 27.-Nothing
further has developed from the un-
usual finding of human arm in cell
lar The chief of police was notified
and took look at the detached mem
Der, but SO far has reported no prog
ress in the way of solution of the
matter. So many curiosity-seekers an
noyed the finder. Mr.. Boyer, that he
felt Obliged to, hide the arm, and has,
it is said, removed it from the Office
of the East Ohio Gas Co., where 1t had
been on exhibition.
The theory has been steadily ad-
vanced that the arm was a remnant Of
one Of DR.. ]. w. Dixon's dissecting vic
tins, as it was found in the cellar of
the Berndt block, the doctor having his
Office in this block fifteen or twenty
years ago. An inspection of the arm
reveals 1t to be in dry, leathery state,
and upon being cut into with knife 1t
appears dry; but, as a physician stated,
the arm could easily be in that condi-
tion, whether it had lain away for .25
years or for one year. 1t is stated that
the member was entirely uncovered,
and 1t appears impossible that 1t could
have been in the cellar any great
length of time without being discov-
cred.

San DOMINGO CO.,
Files an Answer to Charges Made
Against 1t.

Washington, D. c., April 27,-Rep.
resentatives of the San Domingo I'm
provement Co. in Santo Domingo, have
filed with the state department brief
in answer to the representations that
have been made, calling into ques-
tion the validity of its claim against
the government of Santo Domingo.
The statement was made on the
floor of the senate that the paid-in
capital of the company was only 81, 500
although its claim was for over So
1000. The company points out that
IL availed itself of the New Jersey in
corporation law, >which permitted 1t
to name only a nominal capitalization
in its first papers. But it shows now
that it increased its capital, stock to
81 100000, and afterward reduced it
to $1,000,000. The statement has also
been made that the claim of the
company was never really arbitrated,
and that the so-called arbitral award,
under which the United States col
lected the revenues of Puerta Plata,
in order to pay that claim was ille-
gal. The company, in its statement
filed today, shows that the usual pro-
lcesses of arbitration were gone
through with, and that an award was
made, in which the Santo Domingo
government concurred.
