in New Ulm.
Mr.. Baird is manager of the st. Paul
office of the Smith-Premier company.
On the stand yesterday afternoon he de-
clared that typewriters have a certain
individuality impaired to them by their
alignment. This is usually indistinct,
but cannot escape the eye of an expert.
General Childs asked Mr.. Baird to
write the name and address, "Dr. l.. a.
Gebhardt, New Ulm, Minn.," on the
typewriter which had been taken from
as am exhibit. He did so, and then
compared it with the address, on the
blue box.
In my opinion as typewriter ex-
pert he said, 81 should say the two
addresses were written on the same
machine. -
By previous witnesses the state had
shown that the office Of the Minnesota
Mutual Fire Insurance company is di
rectly across the hall from DR.. Koch s
Offices and that the typewriter, in a
desk frequently. left unlocked, was ac-
cessible to the defendant. On the cross
examination the defense drew out the
fact that there were two other type
writer's in offices adjoining DR.. Koch IS
and that the Smith Premier, which the
state had exhibited with its wide car
riage adapted especially for insurance
| policies, was the most cumbersome and
unwieldy.
