.DEpUTY'S FALL RE CAUSES A
LONG HALF DAY OF WAITING.

Another delay postponed action in
the Koch trial Monday forenoon and
nothing was done toward securing the.
two remaining jurors.
The Springfield section Of the second
special venire reported with the rest.
at 8 o'clock but no return came from
the Deputy Coroner z. A. Sullivan
and the state was unwilling to proceed
without it, fearing that if the regular.
return were not made, it might con-
stitute an error on which motion for
9 new trial might be based. On the
advise OF, Judge Weber, Clerk of
Court Larson at once teleph oned to-
Springfield and secured the names Of
the jurymen.
After a length consult ation between
Koch S attorneys Mr.. Somerville pro-
posed that they try the case with ten

was willing to hasten the trial as.
much as possible there have been no

EXHAUSTED SATURDAY FORENOON

Little was done Saturday. Court
convened as usual at 8 O'Clock in the.
morning and all that was left Of the
venire, fourteen men, were examined
and all dismissed for one reason or
another. It was hardly expected that
a juror would be secured out of the
lot 50 there was no general disapp oint-
ment.
Attorney Abbot exchanged places.
with Mr.. Somerville and conducted
the examination for the defense. T.
did not take long to run through the
list and court was dismissed by 1890
O'Clock.
Judge. Weber gave his parting in
structions to the jury as usual atthe
close, telling them they must not talk
or read about the case but might play
all the games and have all the music
they wanted.

honor. Not a man responded and as
the situation dawned on the spectators

JUROR ASKS FOR VIOLIN.
At the close and just before the jury
was conducted out Of the room, John
Mack, the eighth juror, timidly APP
preached the judge and whispered
something in his ear. Judge Web
ber's lecturers broadened into a
smile and he said loud enough to be
heard all over the room:

heard frequently issuing from the jury

a notable thing about the disquali-
flying of jurors has been through the
day that so many did not believe in
capital punishment, probably one
third Of those called being dismissed
on this account. These men were for
the most part warm personal friends
OF the Koch family and it was their
regard for the aged father which
would not allow them to find his son
guilty on anything but direct evil
.dence.
Mr.. Koch himself was present in
the courtroom for a couple of hours
Friday afternoon and watched the
proceedings intently.

EsDAY. JANUARY 4, 1905.

The juror when taken in hand by the
state admitted that he understood
German much better than English and
that some Of the English words were
too much for him and he was dismiss
ed for general disqu alifaction.
MANY MORE DISMISSED.
August Schwieger, an old resident |
OF Sleepy Eye, was challenged by the
defense for actual bias and the triers
found it true. Next Alex Pickle Of
Home township was challenged by the
defense and the challenge admitted by
Mr.. Frederickson, who was conduct
ing the examination G. w.
Melenthine was dismissed in the same
manner.

Immediately following the name OF
another acceptable man was called,
James Addy, Jr. OF Home. He was
challenged by the state for actual
bias, but when the triers had found

The twelfth juror was found this
taorning in the person of Joe GIath-
wohl of Linden and the trial opened
with the presentation of the case by
prosecution.
The week that the drawing Of the
jurors has been in progress has been
. tiresome one. Two jurors were Sc
cured Tuesday the first day ofthetrial.
Wednesday there was a whole day of
inaction. and then Thursday two more
jurors were found out of the special
yenire. Friday has been the banner
day and six were sworn in on that day
Saturday the special venire was ex-
hansted and no other man found.
Monday there was a delay caused by
a hitch in sending the return of the
deputy coroner with the Springfield
section Of the second special venire
and business was not begunEuntil three
in the afternoon. Not d man was
found Of the fifteen examined that day
and all day Tuesday yielded but a lone
additionto the ten waiting in the jury
box
CROWD TIRED BY DELAYS.
The crowd has showed signs of i'm
patience at times at the sloWness with
which things have moved, but have
for the most part realized that it
is better to go slow than to make a
mistake in a matter Of such grave i'm
portance. The courtroom has been
fairly we'll filed, especially on Monday
and yesterday, when it was expected
that the jury would be completed and
the opening made in the case.
There has been a liberal sprinkling
of feminine spectators on several days,
and the defendants sisters and many
of his friends have been in court al
most every day watching the proceed
ings with interest.
DIR. Koch himself has become some
what tired of the drawing of jurors, as
his looks and actions indicate. For
the first few days he took a lively in
terest in every man on the stand, but
of late has preferred reading the
papers to a close following of each
juror examined. He takes everything
very cody and has been as cheerful
and socialible in this the preliminary
stage of the fight for his life as he ever
was before the tragedy Of November
lst and the awful suspicion which has
followed.
KOCH CONFIDENT OF ACQUITAL.
DR. Koch acts and talks like a man
who knew he is innocent and believes
8rmly that he will be cleared. It seems
10 be the confidence in his acquital that
hold up his spirits.
DIR. Koch's brothers William and
Albert have been in daily attendance
on the trial and William has sat with
his brother at the lawyers table and
has joined in the consultation between
the attorneys when the aceeptability of
some juror has been in doubt.
E. G. Koch, the defendants father,
was in court for the first time Frid lay,
sut since then has followed the pro-
oeedings closely every day.
