Koch Not the Murderer

The courts questions led up to the
all important one: "Was the man
whom you saw kneeling beside the
PROSTATE body when you looked into
the room the defendant, George r.
koch?. and when the answer came
clear, firm and readily, mo, sir, it was
not, the silence in the room ceased to

after he left the witness chair. He
was not perceptibly ruff1ed by the

He occasionally moved his hands, but
only two or three times his position,
and he never once seemed disturbed
mentally. A man slow to make up his
mind and perhaps overconscious, one
would be apt to decide after Listening
to his deliberate replies to the states
questions. He swore positively with
out suggestion of hesitation, looking
the defendant full in the face as he did

Tries to Trip Him

The purpose of the cross -examina-
ton by the state was to show that i'm
med1ately after the murder he had not
been certain of this and therefore, by
Inference, that he had sworn falsely.
In conducting the cross examination
Gen. ChlldS used a transcript of the
testimony given by the witness at the
coroner's inquest and during the in
vestigation conducted by the citizens
committee. Mr.. Brooks told the story
familiar now to everybody in New
Ulm, and perhaps in the state of ibis
discovery of the murder. Gen. Childs,
from the typewriter transcript, then
read parts of the testimony given by
Mr.. Brooks to. different individuals and
during the various Investigations in
which he said that he would not swear
that DR.. Koch was not the murderer
and he would not swear that he was
the murderer
Asked if he had made this statement
to the several persons and in the sew
eral instances mentioned, the witness
admitted that he had, but he added
that each time this statement was ac-
companied by an explanation which he
asked permission to give.
Explains Contradictions
That permission being finally given
by the prosecution, the witness said in
q fCty ClcdI' NOlCGz
Il never made to any person the
statement that would not swear that
DR.. Koch was not the murderer and
that would not swear that he was,
without first explaining, that if it were
possible for emotion or passion to so
change mans countenance that it
was not recognizable, then the man l
saw might have been Dr. Koch; and
always added that did not think it
possible for any one SO well acquainted
with DR.. Koch as I was not to be able
to recognize him by his figure, even if
his face were changed"
The description which Mr.. Brooks
has so frequently given of the muir
derer, that he was below the average
height, very pale and had high cheek
bones, he repeated. 1t is a general de-
scription that might fit the defendant
and the state made the most of it.
When the defense took the witness it
put questions with a view to- emphasize
ing the fact that Mr.. Brooks was a
very close friend of the murdered man
and merely social acquaintance of
the defendant; that he had mentioned
after the murder that in general APP
pearance the man he saw kneeling be-
side the prone body resembled num-
Der of citizens of New Ulm.
Mr.. Brooks did not once contradict
himself during his long examination
and both sides admitted he made an
ideal witness. Miss Fitzpatrick, DIR.
