who he was. The state is also said ia
have secured evidence by which it will
attempt to prove that Horsack could not

nine o'clock in the evening, but consid.
erably earlier
The citizens committee has secured
considerable evidence concerning the
murder hammer. The state claims it can
show conclusively that this hammer was
an appurtenance of the Koch home.
Fred Schwede, who testified for the
defense as to the ownership of the ham
mer, is at Fairmont this week and has
given out the following statement:
81 do not feel warranted in going
on the stand and swearing absolutely
that the hammer which the state has in
its possession and which was used to kill
DIR. Gerhard was the one 1 owned, but

is the one purchased in Fairmont sew
eral years ago. had sale some time
ago and the hammer was among the ar
ticles sold. Who purchased the hammer
l do not remember, but 1 am positive
that it eventually fell into the hands of
the assassin"
The defense will try to prove at the
new trial that this hammer was for
merly the property of Schwede and will
place him and his wife on the stand
The state will attempt to show that
it was impossible for the hammer to get
from Schwede's premises to DR.. Geb-
hard's office.

ing in The st. Paul Pioneer Press, re,
lative to the proposed measure giving
the state the privilege of closing last III
criminal eases, instead of allowing the
defense to have the last say, as the law
now stands. It was the judge himself.
who back in the early seventies drafted
the bill that gave the defense the last
word, and took it to Gov. Cushman X.
Davis, who declared that the measure
ought to be passed, and that he would
sign the bill if it should be approved by
the state legislature. The judge caused
the bill to be introduced into the state
senate, and it passed both houses, and
was signed by the governor. Since that
time the law has always given the de-
Tense the privilege of closing its case
last.
The paragraph in The Pioneer Press
article to which the Judge makes the
greatest objection, and which he terms
a ''cock and bull story" reads as fol-
lows:
"The change from this procedure is
said to have been intended solely for
temporary relief in one case. Early in
the states history, noted lawyer,
known as a brilliant orator, was defend
ing very prominent man accused of a
serious offense in southern Minnesota.
The jury twice disagreed. The lawyer
felt certain if he could make the last
plea to the jury he could clear his client,
and succeeded in securing the enactment
of the law taking away the states right
of ,rebuttal, it being understood that the
right was to be restored by the next
legislature when the man was cleared.
The change had the desired effect. The
brilliant orator had the last word with
the jury and his client was acquitted
That "very prominent man" was a
poor old gardner, whom Attorney Sew
erance defended from serious charge
not with the idea of getting fee, the
prisoner being extremely poor, but out
of charity towards one whom he consid
cred utterly innocent. As the law then
stood, the prosecuting attorney had the
last say, and instead of arguing the evi
denee, he simply mathematical the de-
PENDANT with TRADE of abuse, to which
there could be no reply. The speech had
the desired effect on the minds of the
jury and the twelve men brought in a

thought of plan by which the verdict

that the verdict be set aside on the
ground that the defense had not been

lenges given by the law. The judge
overruled the bill of exceptions, and Mr..
Severance appealed to the supreme court.
There the lower court was reversed, the
dered. The matter was finally disposed
of by the defendant pleading guilty
to a trivial charge and getting five days
in the county Jail.
1t was this case that prompted Mr..
Severance to get the law changed so as
to give the defense the final say The
judge is today of the opinion, as he was

last The man on trial is getting no
more than his rights, when his attorney
has chance to pick the arguments of
the prosecution to pieces, if he can. This
makes prosecuting attorneys more
guarded in their utterances and tends
to keep them within proper bounds. An
inhammatory speech by the prosecutor,
if allowed to remain on the minds of a
jury, unanswered by the defense is very
liable to stir up feelings against an in
nocent prisoner. !.
1t seems that the agitation for a
change back to the old system has eman-
ated from the county attorneys. The
question will be discussed at meeting
of the county attorneys of the state in
the old state capitol building next
Thursday. The Pioneer Press states
that the county attorneys desire the law
to be changed so as to give the state
the. right of closing last. Judge Sever
ance says that is because these prose-
cutors do not like to have attorneys for
the defense given chance to pick out
the holes in their. arguments.
