KOCH HAD ACCESS TO POISON
Strychnine Stolen from Doctors Office
Which Adjoined the DEFENDANTS.

From staff Correspondent
New Ulm, Mimi, Jan. l0.-Dr. o. G.
Strickler, whose Offices adjoin those
of DR.. Koch, and who occupied
joint waiting-room with him, yester-
day afternoon gave some OF the most
damaging testimony which has yet been
offered by the state. .H..
He told Of the missing quantity Of
strychnine from his instrument chest,
which was in the common waiting room
at about the time the poison was re-
ceived by DR.. Gebhard or a little before,
and the conclusion which the prosecu-
tion wishes the jury to draw, and which
it will argue with all its power, is that
it could have been none other than the
accused man who took this poison,
Saw Bruises on Koch's Hands.
DR.. Stricken further told of seeing
scratches and bruises on his friend s
hands and of the time shortly after the
murder when he discovered him in a
condition Of almost nervous collapse.
Never in his life did the physician
face more painful task. He did not
want to testify. He would have given
almost any sum if he could have been
excused, but the law is stern and the
state demanded that on the witness
stand, under oath, he must tell all he
knew, altho the words might be damn
ing and mean death to his friend.
DIR. Stricken did not falter in what he
knew was his duty, but every once in q
while his voice would hesitate Just q
little as thu the cup we're too bitter and

Novelist Hamlin Garland Ap-
palled by Scene of Desc

WOULD SAVE FORESTS
Favors the Creation of
the White River Plateau
Into an Immense Park

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug g..
In an interview Hamlin Garland, the
novelist, said to-day:
II have just returned from a trip to
the west of Gray Peak and I am ap-
palled at the desolaticn Of this region.
Carelessness and greed have stripped
the forests from the hills. 80 that little
remains to check the spring freShets.
This trip has convinced me Of the
necessity of making the crest of the
Rocky Mountains one vast forest re-
serve. Every mountain crest from an
altitude of $500 feet should be SO re-
served and held forever under the
jurisdiction of the National Govern
ment, for the reason that the farmers
of the neighboring States, as we'll as
those of the immediate vicinity, are
vitality concerned"
Three years ago Garland suggested
to President Roosevelt that the entire
White River Plateau should be created
into a great national park and to-day
he said that, after another visit to this
region, his conviction was intensified
The limits of the park, he said
should be practically those of the
present forest reserve; in fact its out
line is magnifcently suggested by
great walls of rock. 1t is, in fact, a
vast tableland lifted from 5000 to IL, 900
feet above the sea, with protecting
cliffs a thousand feet high on either
side It possesses every beauty which
a camper, a lover of nature, could de-
sire"

NOTORIOUS ROUGHS
OUT ON WILD RAID
Paul Kelly Gang Takes the
Warpath in East New
York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The notorious
Paul Kelly gang to which much lawless-
ness and crime have been attributed, be-
gan a temporary reign Of terror in the
lower East Side to-day by raiding and
smashing windows in stores within half
a block of police headquarters in Null
berry street, and ended by beating a man
so badly that he may not recover. With
plate-glass windows crashing first on one
side and then on the other in the vicin-
ity of Houston street and the Bowery,
fifty angry policemen tried in vain to
catch the elusive rioters. A coffee-hou
was next raided, the gangs only object
being to smash up the dishes, which was
done after the walters had been thrown
into the street. The police were hot on
the trail of the toughs by this time, and
were just in time to rescue Christie Colo
james, a Greek, after his face had been
lacerated and two ribs broken. The gang
was robbing him of pennies and nickels.
Only one member of the party was ar
rested.
