ing the End.
New Ulm, Mimi, Jan. 1S.-The state
closed its case against Dr. George r.
Kich. accused of the murder Of DR.. l..
A. Gebhardt, at 9:20 q. m. and the de-
tense closed five minutes later. At
$40 former Attorney General Childs
began the argument for the state.
The testimony of Asa P. Brooks to
the effect that DR.. Koch was not the
man he saw in the act of killing DR..
Gebhardt stands unimpeached. 1t was
the intention of the state to call W.. G.
Murf1n, an intimate friend of Brooks,
to the stand in an effort to impeach
Brooks testimony on the theory that
Brooks would have told him the real
facts II he told any one. The effort of
the state failed because it was found
that no foundation for the impeach-
ment had been laid.
Mr.. Childs concluded his argument
for the state shortly after noon and
was followed by Attorney Somerville
for the defense.

Report Incorrect.

At meeting of number Of GIN
ners Of Georgia and Alabama at At
lanta, Friday, two vice presidents
we're named from Georgia to attend
the next convention Of cotton ginuers
to be held at Dallas, Texas. President
J. a. Taylor Of the National GinDers'
association was present at the meeting
and made an address urging the gin.
ners to retain information regarding
cotton produced. Among other things
he said: THE government report of
the cotton crop Is totally Incorrect
These reports are as far wrong as any
thing know. Many ginners did not
count-thcir bales correctly, often add.
Ing many hundred bales more than
they had in reality ginned. In many
instances the number of tales ginned
was guessed at. I have come to the
conclusion that and the other gin
nora were chumps for giving out the
reports"
