MUTUALS TO LIMIT RISKS.
Farmers Insurance Companies
VIII Re-Insure Risks.
80, 500 to be Limit of Amount
Carried by One Company.
Mutual Companies Complimented
by Insurance Commissioner.

The Minnesota Association of
Farmers Insurance Companies meet
ing yesterday at the old capitol, de-
sided to restrict risks to $500 and
appointed a committee to prepare a
schedule of uniform fees. A motion
70 ask the Legislature to provide for a
reserve was lost. The association
will meet again at 9:3O this morning
officers will be elected, and the sub
jects discussed will be live stock in
surance, classified risks and thresh-
ang machines.
The matter of limiting risks was
proposed by A. D. Stewart of
Redwood Falls. His proposition to
limit risks to $1,000, distributing
larger risks among other companies,
vas adopted after it had been favored
by j. j. Furlong of Austin, Ole Peter
son of Nichollet and others.
Gov, Johnson made a short address.
IT will not attempt to instruct you
On matters of insurance. said the
governor, ''neither will | take time to
praise this great state. for that is I'M
nessary. From my experiences with
the New Sweden Mutual I know that
you have the best, cheapest and SAT-
est method of insurance. AS govern
or l have appointed a man as insur-
ance commissioner who is both able
and honest. The policy holder has a
right to protection, and I will take
his side in the revision of insurance
laws
Insurance Commissioner Elmer H.
Dearth complimented the association
and remarked that if all companies
gave as little trouble as the farmers
companies, there would be no need Of
al insurance department.
w. S. Hammond of ST. James spoke
on mutual insurance and co-opera-
ton. "The only cooperation against
which no charges have been made. y
said he, 'are those, which, like our
mutual insurance companies, are
formed among our own numbers 2
j. O. Currier of Nicollet made plea
for stronger organization.
While the above applies directly to
the farmers mutual companies it is
in substance the Interpretation of Mr.
Dearth in regard to all mutual com
panies and shows that the mutual idea
is growing and will in the end main
tain to a large extent.

ness, that I have never told anyone.
| of the theft.
This announcement created a mild
sensation and General Childs arose
] at once and said that if anyone con
nected with the prosecution had taken
the coat he had not been informed Of
lit.
| When Mr.. Abbott produced a pack
age OF handkerchiefs which were iden-
Fl tilted as those taken from the Koch
home by the attorney, were produced,
| the defendant was allowed to compare
them with the bloody piece of linen
found in the Office of the murdered
man.
Can you tell whether or not that
handkerchief is like your hankerchiefs
I have brought into court?'' asked
Mr.. Abbott. The witness studied the
markings on the linen for a short
time then said:
MARKINGS NOT THE SAME.
The markings &c. r. Ky on the
bloody handkerchief and on my hand
kerchiefs are not the same. The let
tiers are not the same
Miss Ida Koch was later called to
the stand and gave the same testimony
regarding the likeness of the mark
ings. It was brought out on examin-
alton that Koch had bought his hand
kerchiefs in lots of four or half
dozen, and that each lot were marked
differently. Some were marked &c.
r. H. some &c. b. some .sGeo.
r.. K..' and some &c. r. Koch. -
The lot marked &c. r. K, were all
marked at one time and in the same
way, he testified, as did his sister Ida,
and none of his other handkerchiefs
had ever been marked with those ini-
tials
On the cross-examination General
Childs laid the foundation for some
strong rebuttal. He asked the witness
if he had not tried to mail a package
at the Hanska postoffice sometime in
October or late in September but
found that the package was too large
to go through the aperture in the box.
He then asked him if he had not
taken the package down to the train
and when asked by the railroad mail
clerk who it was for had said, cit is
for a Dutch dentist in New Ulm. y
DR.. Koch was also asked if he had
not given a package to the station
agent at Hanska to mail, some time
in October, or late in September To
all of these questions he answered
'ino.n
The state called an expert on hand
writing as it's first witness on rebuilt al
and he testified that in his opinion the
handwriting on the bottle was DIR.
Koch's.

KOCH CASE SOON DECIDED
Continued from page one.

Did you say he came home at 10
o'clock?
I did not.
Did Mr.. Richartz say to you that
the murder was committed before 10
o'clock?
He did, and said to him, my son
was at home at % minutes before 10.
From the extraordinary care taken
with this witness, it is thought that
the state will make herculean effort
to break down his statements on re-
buttal.
Koch's alibi is gone, said promi-
nent attorney after listening to the
testimony of the defendants father.
The state will smash it to smithereens
on rebuttal.
AT the adjournment of the court in
the afternoon Judge Webber distrib-
uted several letters to the jurors.
70 one of them he said:
JUROR RECEIVE LETTER.
Open that letter and tell me who it is
from.
The juror opened the letter and re-
piled that it was from his wife.
Your wife? Well that is all right,
remarked his honor, but want to
say right now to you jurors that If
any of you get letter about this
case from anyone, you are not to read
it. Read only enough to see what it.
is and then you must tell me immed-
lately.
We haven't received any such let
tiers, remarked one juror.
I know you haven't, and / don't
think anyone would write to you re-
garding this case, but if they do be
sure that you advise me Instantly.
During the day the defendant sat
listlessly before the long table, facing
the witness chair. He did not app
pear particularly interested in the
proceedings and seldom raised his
eyes to the witnesses, although he
made no attempt to avert his gaze.
He simply appeared Indifferent.
While his father was on the stand
however, he took an active interest in
what was going on, watching him in
tently, and making an occasional re-
mark to attorney T.. L. Brown, who
sat at his right.

THE DISSATISFIED ONES.

For nfEar. gySolIs

Lives Spoiled by a FruitIess Longing
For Other Fields.
Everywhere we find people who are
dissatisfied with their lot, who think
they would be happy if they could only
get somewhere else, into some other
occupation. They see only the thorns
in their own vocations, the roses in
those of others The shopgirl would
be an actress; the cook would change
places with her mistress, the butler
with his master. The lawyer would be
doctor, the doctor lawyer. The
farmer bemoans his hard lot and longs
to exchange his life of drudgery for
the career of the merchant or the man
ufacturer. The country boy leans on
city with hungry eyes. II he could
only be free from the slavery Of the
farm, he thinks, wear good clothes, get
hold of a yardstick and stand behind a
counter! Happiness, opportunity, for
tune everything, lies yonder; around
him misery, toll, poverty nothing de
sirable. A city youth behind a counter
or sitting on high Office stool rails at
fate for combining him to the limits of
brick walls and the dreary details of
merchandise, buying and selling, or of
figuring up accounts. Oh, if he could
only go to sea and travel to distant
countries, become captain in the ma
w or skipper or owner of merchant
vessel! Life would be worth something
then. Butnow
How much energy has been lost, how
many lives have been spoiled by this
fruitless longing for other fields. other
opportunities out of reach What is the
use of signing or dreaming of what
you would do if you were in somebody
else's place? What is the use Of trying
to reach into your neighbor's pasture
when you do not know what bitterness
may lie at the root of it, hidden from
your sight, when you have never tried
to develop or to call out the sweetness
and juiciness which thrive in your
own? O. s. Marden in Success.

MURDERED MAN WAS
PHYSICALLY PERFECT

Herman Helm, teacher of physical
culture in New Ulm, was the first wit
ness called this afternoon. He stated
that he knew DR.. Gebhardt fairly we'll,
the murdered man having attended his
physical culture class. Asked as to
his physical development, he said that
he was nearer physical perfection than
any other man in the class. He con-
sidered him above the average physi-
cally.
LIVELY ON HIS FEET.
The defendant had occasionally at
tended the classes, but the witness
testimony that DR.. Koch was not we'll
musculed was qualified by his saying
that the defendant was very quick on.
his feet. He stated that he saw DR..
Koch the day after the murder between
10 and IL in the morning and that he
had on striped trousers and a brown
derby hat. The cross-exalnination
made the most of the admission that
the defendant was active and light on
his feet.
Prof. Ackermann, teacher at the
Lutheran college, testified that he had
seen DR.. Koch the day of the murder
and that he wore a black overcoat and
a brown derby hat.
Sheriff Julius testified to having
made an examination of DIR. Koch's
coat on the Friday or Saturday fol-
lowing the murder and of finding no
stains of any kind on it.
F. j. Nenno, who was one of the men
who went up to DR.. Gebhardt's Office
after Mr.. Brooks had discovered the
murder, swore positively that it was
just about 9:45 when the door was
kicked open. His testimony on this
point was Important to the defense, for
it was after that that Policeman Weis-
enborn, who was among those who en-
tered the room, made the remark that
there was somebody in the reception
room-a remark that made all the in
yestigators run for their lives. Mr..
Memo could not give the exact words
of the policeman.

KOCH TAKES STAND;
IS GOOD WITNESS.

monday col six.
DR.. Koch, himself, took the stand in
in his own behalf Monday forenoon,
aud in simple, direct, straightforward
fashion told the whole story of his.
movements on the night of November
slst, and of his doings on all other
days before and after the murder
which have any bearing on the ease
Nothing was concealed, and his at
torneys laid his whole life open be-
fore the court and the jury and the
prosecuting attorneys to scrutinize if
they would.
The young dentist came through the
ordeal in wonderful shape and proved
his own best witness. Never once was
he confused on direct or cross-exam-
ination and under the CALLING fire of
General Childs searching questions
he showed more spirit and made bet
ter impression then when he was in the
hands of his own attorneys.
ON THE STAND MANY HOURS.
DR.. Koch was called to the stand
shortly before ten o'clock in the fore
noon and when the noon recess was
taken he had not finished the story he
was telling on questions from Mr..
Abbott. About 2 O'Clock he was turn
ed over to General Childs and he was
not dismissed from the stand until
$50 O'Clock.
His direct story covered his move
ments before and on the day Of the
murder, and nothing new was brought
out until he made mention of the steal
ing of his long, black cravenet, the
one he wore one the night of the homi-
eide, from his Office about three weeks
after he came under suspicion.
He said that the coat was hanging
in his Office in its regular place when
one day he looked for it and it was
gone, where, he had no idea. He went
lmmedi lately to Henry Somsen's office
and informed him and together they
went back into the dental Office and
made a thorough search. Nothing of
the coat was found and Mr.. Somsen
said,
TOLD NOT TO TELL.
Don't tell any one because it may
be that some one who is collecting
evidence against you has taken it.,

NJ ANS CLOTHING
MUST BEAR STAINS.

MANS CLOTHING
MUST BEAR STAINS.
One of the strongest arguments the
defense has brought forward to prove
the innocence OF the accused man. and
one that the state has not been able to
refute, is that DR.; Koch wore the same
clothes the day after the murder that
he wore the day before, and rigid ex-
animation failed to reveal a single
stain on any of the garments. The
rug on which the victim Law was
drenched with blood, and his face was
cut beyond recognition. One question
the jury will have to answer is:
would it be possible for man TO
commit such crime, make his escape
by selling hold of wires and letting
himself down from a second story
window and to come away from the
scene without mark or stain of any
kind on his clothes?''
The jury may doubt the story of
Asa I. Brooks, it may doubt the tes-s
timony OF the Koch family in regard
to the alibi, but this it cannot doubt,
since no witness either for the state
or the defense has denied the fact,
and there have been scores interrogat-
ed on this one point.
COULD SEE RABBIT.
VIM. Koch was called Saturday af-
ternoon to testify in regard to the To-
cation of the Koch residence, the de-
tense wishing through his testimony
to bring out the fact that it was pos
sible for DR.. Koch to have seen rab-
bit the night Of November 1. Witness
stated that about a month after the
murder, desiring to find out whether
the electric lights, the nearest arc
light of which is two blocks from his
house, gave enough light to reveal a
rabbit, pulled out newspaper and
found that he was able to read the
title. He said when he did this he was
near his fathers barn; The night of
November lst was moonless but ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Koch's testimony it
was a starlight night
Mr.. Koch was also asked for addi-
tional testimony in regard to the clock
which hangs in the Koch dining room.
Witness said that he know the clock
was seven minutes fast, because every
morning and evening he was in the
habit of comparing it with his watch,
set by railroad time.
