ated by Henry N. Somsen. When
Koch returned home the night of
the murder the relatives observed
no stains on his clothing neither

were examined on the following

Monday DR.. Koch appeared on
the witness stand and testified in
detail as 10 his movements on the
night of the murder. Koch denied
ownership of the blood stained
handkerchief with his initials, de-
claring he had never seen it before.
He also testified that his black crav-
anet oyercoat, worn on the night of
the murder. was stolen from his Of
fee three weeks after the crime was
committed. He totally denied send
ing the bottle of poison or any 9TH

answered every question without
hesitation and made a good witness.
1t is probable that the case will go
to the jury to-day, and at this writ
ing there is little doubt of acquittal.

fating his experience on the night
OF the murder up to the time that he
gazed through the transom and saw
the 1aurderer bending over the
body of his victim. Judge Weber

clear and bold, and then Gen.
Childs took the witness for a cou-
pie of hours, but not once shaking

testimony that must go a long way
towards clearing Koch.
On Thursday, the leading attor-
ney for the defense, Senator Somer.
vile, opened the case. He con-
tended that DR.. Koch was "a victim
of public opinion and misfortune.
He ridiculed the poison theory, in
asmuch as DR.. Koch had plenty of
arsenic in his Office and did not
have to steal stryehniue. The type
writer theory was not ridiculed,
because DR.. Koch had one in his
own office. Regarding the pencil
theory he promised to produce the
identical pencil given DR.. Koch,
and the one that has been in his
possession ever since it was given
MIN before the homicide. The ham
mer, he proposed showing, belonged
TO DR.. Gebhardt. The handker-
chief was admittedly that of DR..
Koch, but he would show the many
chances of getting one of the doc
tors kerchiefs. He continued
while we are not here to convict
anyone else of this crime. we will give
you clues, which, if the detectives and
citizens committee had been as dill
gent in following as they have been in
this innocent man, you
would not be here today trying DR..
KOch''
A perfect alibi was assured by
the attorney, and then evidence for
the defense was commenced. The
testimony of Dingler, leading wit
ness against Koch, was impeached |
by several reliable witnesses, each
swearing that Dingler told him he
was to get big money for his evil
denue. Dr., Reineoke was called to
himself as to the owner I
ship of the hammer, which he once
swore was Dr. Gebhardt's, aud
denied, and to the latter
statement he clung to the finish.
Father Koch, Il years old, whose
word has been as good as his note
during all of his lifetime, took the
stand and swore that his son
reached home at 9:38 the night of
the homicide, and consequently
could not have committed the crime.
Miss Ida Koch and Miss Emma
Koch, sisters, Ernst Koch, a
brother, andpPaul Hippaufs, room
mate, all swore that George got
home around about $40 o'clock.
William Koch, cashier of the citi-
zen s bank, and a brother, did not
know just when George joined him
IN bed Miss Fitzpatrick confirmed |
the injuries to Koch's hands as
having been caused in a runaway
accident.
Evidence was adduced showing
that DR.. Geohardt once had such
hammer as the one used 10 the muir
der. An old farmer and his wife.
residing near New Ulm, stated that
they once owned such a hammer
and that it disappeared some time
