Chief of Police Klause of New Ulm
had just testified that the trousers in
evidence as those which DR.. Koch wore
the night of the murder and for many
days subsequently,, were not the trous-
chief and the sheriff examined them.
He was not certain as to the coat and
vest.
DR.. Koch was then put upon the
stand, and said that the trousers in evi
dence were the only pair of striped
trousers he had had for more than q
year except the pair he had on today
which he bought about six weeks ago
He declared that Chief Klause was mis-
taken.
Night Visit to the Koch Place.
The state in rebuttal recalled Mayor
Silverson of New Ulm. Questioned By
General Childs, he said that, with thu

of the town council of New Ulm, he Wis

putting the trio in irons. It is thought
that they may have been overheard

prepared to tell Of thet bullet holes

Crushed Passenger Cars.

Crushed Passenger Cars.
The force of the collision crushed all
of the passenger cars, which piled up IN
q huge mass. The two trains were
masses of flames in short time.
With the crash the passengers, all of
whom we're asleep in their berths, were
hurled in all directions. All who were
not pinned in the debris or totally in
capacited, ran away from the volcano,
intermingled with small explosions. 1t
was impossible at the time for those
who escaped uninjured to reach the I'M
prisoned passengers.
AS soon as some of the dead or in
iured were reached they were laid in
long rows along the tracks. There are
few private dwellings near the scene of
the disaster, which is in the industrial
district. The Paxtang plant was trans
formed into an emergency hospital,
mangled and dying, while waiting for
conveyances to take them to the Har-
risburg hospitals.
Many Trips with the Dying.
A police patrol wagon was among the
hrst conveyance to arrive on the scene
Into it were packed as many wounded
as possible. Until long after daylight
Its horses were driven at breakneck
speed TO ana from the hospital. 0pe
cial trains were Immediately made uE
. by the Pennsylvania Railroad company
and conveyed the injured to Union sta

At the hospital every available bee

the throng of the injured was so. great
that all who were able to walk were
compelled to give their cots to the more

were filled with injured waiting theil
turn for treatment.
Every, physician or surgeon available
in the city was called up by telephone
and Immediately rendered his service:
in the task of caring for and dressing

nurses volunteered their services.
Pathos About Wreck.
Pathos understandable characterized
the scenes about the wreck. Husbands

swindlers, all strangers-one of whom
represented himself to be the cashier
of the First National bank of Sauk
Center-who visited MIN with the os-

AS negotiations were pending in a
certain transaction, the agreement was
that the alleged Sauk Center banker
and Mr.. Clifton were each to place
$4,000 in a tin box as evidence of their
good faith in the transaction.
Mr.. Clifton was permitted to take
the box with him, while the alleged
banker kept the key. Becoming some

transaction, Clifton opened the box to
find blank paper and note telling MIN
that he had been the victim of conf
dence game and to make no attempt
to secure the capture of the swindlers,
as they would be we'll out Of reach long
before he would open the box.
For several years Mr.. Clifton has
lived in Sauk Rapids, but still culti-
waited a small farm almost inside the
