WAS BEING PULLED.
We separated after we had gone in
the postoffice and got our mail and [
walked down half block south to-
ward home, as far as Crone's store.
Then [ remembered that / wanted to
get something and came back north to
AlWln's drugstore, stepped in for a
second, and then went down to Olsen's
drugstore, and then went across the
street to Pfefferle's drugstore, 1 met
the clerk, Keller, and went into the
store. When I came out [ heard
groans and noises as though someone
was having a tooth pulled. [ then
walked on an met Brooks coming out
of his Office. He said, I think there is
trouble upstairs. Then he went up
and came down again right away.
What did he say to you then?
AS near as I can remember he said,
There is trouble in DR.. Gebhart's
office, OR, think there is someone
being murdered up there, am not
sure about the exact words.
Did you go up?
No sir, | said, lets get some more.
Cleveland Frederick, who was a
clerk in Alwin's drugstore, directly
under DR.. Koch's Office, on November
1st, and until shortly after, was call
ed to the stand.
Did you see the defendant on the
day after the murder? asked Mr..
Childs.
Yes sir, he was in the drugstore that
afternoon putting rubber cots on his
fingers.
Did you speak to him?
I asked him what was the matter.
What did he reply.
He said he had injured his hand
with carbolic acid. I don't remember
the exact words he used.
When you looked at his hands what
did you discover?
KOCH'S FINGER INJURED.
That the index and middle finger, I
don't remember on which hand, were
injured.
What part of the fingers?
The middle joints.
Describe the injuries.
They looked red and about the size
of an eight-penny nail. Both fingers
were injured alike.
Mr.. Somsen now took the witness
on cross-examination.
Mr.. Frederick wasn't it the third
finger on the right hand?
/ don't remember defnately, but it
seems to me that it was the index fin
ger.
Are you sure that he used more
than one cot?
I think so
Can you swear to it?
No sir.
y Nor you cannot swear that it was
any other than the third finger, can
you?
81 No sir Al.
But, said Mr.. Childs. when the wit.
ness was again turned over to him,
how many fingers were injured ac-I
cording to your best objection?
Two.
Did the wounds have any depth?
About the depth Of the skin, +
should say.
How did they look?
As though the skin had been chip
ped off.

recognizes the fatal hammer on exhib-

1908 at the Koch residence. Mr.. Abb
OFT, for the defense, by inference
charged the boy with having made
the statements to a number of people
that he was to receive a reward for

prove that the boy had been telling
around that he was to receive $500 and

FRENCH SEEK INDEMNITY
Demanded from Moroccan Sultan for
arrest of algerian.

Tangier. Morocco. Aug. 22.-The French Min
lister. st. Rene Tailandier has presented to the
Sultan, Mulai Abd-el-Aziz. an energetic demand
for an indemnity OF $1,000 for the recent arrest
OF a Franco-Algerian citizen. The Minister also
demands the punishment of the official respon-
sbe for the arrest. and an additional Indemnity
of 800 daily until the prisoner is released
1t is believed that the Sultan will promptly
grant the demands OF the Minister as IL Is
known that the French government is deter
mined to adopt forcibe means to bring the Sui
tan TO terms should satisfaction not be imme-
diately given, including If necessary, the occu-
patton OF a Moroccan port.
This incident is independent of the Franco
German controversy regarding the proposed in
ternational conference. Indeed. Ii is known
that Germany approves the course of France in
resenting the unwarranted arrest of one of her
citizens. This German approval goes even be-
yond the desire OF France, as the German gov
ernment has given official notification of its in
tention to support the action of the French gov
ernment, whereas the latter has not sought di-
rectly or indirectly, any support In maintaining
the rights OF French citizens.

retaining the northern and Japan the southern
part, while Japan viii abandon her claim 10

The Portsmouth correspondent of THE Times"
states that there is real hope for peace. and that
the japanese are ready 10 arrange a settlement
