THE KOCH TRIALS.

Inc VerQlct OF the jury IN the third
Koch trial ends one of the most re-
markable cases in the criminal his
tory of this country. 1t is proper at
this time to express an opinion upon
the methods employed in the prose-
cution of this case. Never before in
the history of the state of Minnesota,
and as far as we know, never before
in the history Of this country, has
the state employed such extraordinary
means as has been here employed to
bring about a conviction. No sooner
was DR.. Koch suspected than the COM
munity in which he lived divided itself
into two hostile camps. One party in.
sisted upon doing everything in it's
power to convict the man and the
other equally determined to free him.
The newspapers of the state took up
the fight and added to the intense
feeling that already existed. Dr. Koch
was being tried in the newspapers and
OF the streets instead of in a court
of justice. The atmosphere thus cre-
ated extended of course to any jury
that could be selected.
The County Attorney who ought to
have prosecuted the case was pre-
vented from so doing because the ene-
mics of DR.. Koch charged the County
Attorney with being friend of the
Koch family. Eminent counsel were
employed by the state for the purpose,
not of arriving at the truth of the
matter, but for the purpose of counter
balancing the ability and strength of
opposing counsel. The trial thus de-
veloped into contest between the
means which the state could bring to
bear and the force which the wealth
OF the Koch family conld employ on
the other side. Witnesses were threat
cred with business failure and even
with bodily harm. Rumors were
and became so generally
circulated that in some cases what
was mere rumor in the start was pro-
duced upon the witness stand as tes-
timony to send man to the scaffold.
Under the circumstances of this case
it is, therefore, matter to be thank
full for that the courts of the state
were enabled to throw back the huge
waves Of public prejudice and to sub
stitute in the place thereof the un-
biased judgment which weighs only
the evidence that is legally admiss.
ible. 1t is of much more Importance
that the ADMINISTRATION of justice should
be preserved inviolate and free from
the passion and prejudice Of an in
famed public sentiment than that tho
murderer of DR.. Gebhardt should be
punished
Nothing but an acquittal in view of
the means employed at the many
trials of DR.. Koch would have been
satisfactory. 1t is one thing to sur
mise or believe that a man is guilty
and an entirely different thing to
prove that guilt by legal evidence be,
yond all doubt. Had a conviction
been secured of this man in the very
teeth of the only eyewitness to the
tragedy, suspicion would have at
tached to the courts Of this state.

ARMY MEN CAN NOW
 PUT AWAY SOME MONEY
Deposit System Allows Them Perfect ly Safe Method of Accumu-
 lating Savings.

Washington, October 1.-The report or Francis A. Dodge, the paymaster general of the army, for the past fiscal year, points out that the enlisted men have now every chance to put away money from their own savings by the deposit sys- tenn, which guarantees them absolute safety During the year the amount de- posted by the men was s1.531, ,O2o, making the total amount since the establishment of the system $26,294.326.
 General Dodge states that the present laws against permanent appointments to the staff and departmentJ will result n course of time in all the grades in the pay department being filled by officers 1e- tailed from the line. He recommends that the law be amended so as to limit de- tails to vacancies occurring in the grade of captain, for which captains in the line should be selected as now, and that all grades above captain should be made permanent appointments.
 The amount expended for the pay or the army during the year was S3l, ,3l2. The last pay schedule for the army was passed by Congress thirty-five years ago, and the report contends that 1t Is not suf- ficlent for the demands of our times. The fact that the army Is underpaid the report adds, makes it impossible to re- cruit out of such classes as might be wished. That economy has been the watchword for the army for the last twenty years, General Dodge says, IS shown by the fact that whereas the cost ner canita. for officers and men in 1875 was sss2 it was during this year s9s7.

WOMAN WANTS ID
 SEE NEGRO BURN Monk Gibson is Surrounded by
 2Ioodhounds BURNING THIS MORNING Posses Are Notified That the Parents of Woman Murdered In Texas
 Want to See the
 Execution.

Edna. Tex October IA party just arrived in town from the Allen pasture, where the negro Monk Gibson, was lo- cated this afternoon and reports that the several posses that are In hot pursuit are being augmented every few minutes and capture by midnight Is deemed certain.

 Two packs of hounds, one from Whar- ton and the other from Richmond, were taken off at Ganado The officers will never be allowed to take possession of the negro. He will undoubtedly be brought to Enda as soon as caught and held a brief period in order to secure evidence.
 Want to See Burning.
 MT. H. H. Beasley, brother of Mrs. Con- ditt the murdered woman, stated that 1t was the request of his father and moth- er made tonight, that the men be pleaded with in the event that Monk Gibson Is captured, not to burn him until morning, as they both desired to be present at his execution and they want all the citizens of Edna and Jackson county who desired to see 1t, to be accorded that privilege. They want the burning to occur in a suit able place in Edna.
 The desire of the father and mother has been communicated to all the posses that could be reached and it Is generally agreed that their wishes in the matter will be respected. Should the negro there fore be caught tonight. 1t is very prob able that the execution will take place about 10 o'clock Monday morning. Both of these aged people are almost prostra- ted tonight from grief and the intense strain.
