Marks for Three judicial Candidates
Appear,On IWenty-seven and EIeG-
ton Judges Are Positive That They
Were Not So Mark ed When Counted
by Them---SeaIs on Boxes Have
Not Been Tempered With and
Whole Affair Is Shrouded in Mystery

A sensation was sprung yesterday in
the Hallam-O'B recount for dis
trict Judge
Twenty-seven ballots from the Sec
ond precinct of the Seventh ward were
marked for three candidates for judge,
apparently invalidating the votes, and
he election judges of the precinct as
sert that the ballots were not in this
condition when they passed through
their hands,
Of the twenty seven votes all but one
had been counted by the election judges
for Hallam, this meaning that if the
court declares the ballots void that
Hallam loses that number of votes, and
without doubt is consequently defeated
for district judge, a position that he
now occupies. In this precinct O'Brien.
gained two votes, making the O'Brien
net gain twenty-eight
As O'Brien was fully fifteen votes
ahead when the discovery was made,
the addition of the twenty-eight would
make his lead forty three, or sufficient
to preclude the possibility of Hallam
winning. This depends upon the de-
cision of the court on the ballots in
question, there being grave doubts that
q many persons IN one precinct voted
for three candidates for judge, when
but two were to be elected.
Moore Protests
Attorney Moore, acting for Hallam,
protested against the consideration of
the vote of the precinct. demanding
that the entire ballot box. with all the
votes, be referred to the court for ex-
animation. The votes made void by
the extra x were sent to the court at
the instance Of Attorney Hart, acting
in the interest of the Democratic end
of the contest. A second count of the
ballots by the referees failed to change
the result, although the vote for all
four candidates for judges was tabled

# WAS ANOTHER THAT
BENT OVER VICTIM
New Ulm Editor Proves an Ideal Wit
ness, Being Questioned by the
Court-Attorneys for the Defense
Will Call DR.. Koch and the Rest of
His Family to Prove an AIibi
From a Staff correspondent

From Staff Correspondent
NEW ULM, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE de-
fense in the murder case Will attempt
to introduce evidence with a view to
showing the real culprit 1t says it
will prove an absolute alibi by showing
that DR.. Koch was home at 9:3S o'clock.
1t will prove this through the testi-
mony of DR.. Koch's father, who looked
at the clock, which pointed to 9:45 and
which was seven minutes fast; through
the testimony of Ida Koch, who stop
ped writing letters at S:25; through the
testimony of Emma Koch, who looked
at the clock when she retired at $50,
and through the testimony of Paul
Hippauf, roommate of DR.. Koch, who
recalls looking at the clock at 10.
The defense will prove that DIR. Koch.
still has the sample lead pencil he re-
ceived, one similar to which was found
near the body. Though twill admit
that the handkerchief found near the
body was once in the possession of the
defendant, it will prove that it was
placed beside the body by another than,
the defendant for a distinct purpose. 1t
will prove that DR.. Koch had arsenic, a
poison pleasanter to the taste and
harder to detect than strychnine, in his
possession atsthe time the alleged box
of poison was sent. 1t will call Miss
Fitzpatrick, who was driving with the
defendant the Sunday before the muir
der to show how the injury to the de-
PENDANTS hands was received.
Defendant Will Testify
DR. G. r. Koch will be placed on tho
stand to testify on his own behalf. The
defense will make no attempt to dis
prove Ole Ulen's testimony, which is
merely that of one mans word against
another.
The attorneys for the defense ex-.
pressed themselves today as absolutely
confident of the acquittal of DIR. Koch
and showed themselves at the conclu-
sion of the states case in the best of
spirits. The defendant, too, looked
brighter today than at any time dur
ing the week and seemed relieved at
the thought that the prosecution had
finished its case.
: At Abs this afternoon Gen. Childs,s
leading, attorney for the state, an
nounced that the prosecution had fin
ished. The attorneys for the defense
consulted for a few minutes and then
L. L. Brown moved that the court

strike out all the evidence in regard
to the alleged bottle of poison on the
ground that it was incompetent, irrele-
want and immaterial, not sufficiently
identified and in no way connected with
the defendant. The state objected and
the court sustained the objection.
Court Sustains Prosecution
Similar motions were made in regard
to the blood-stained handkerchief and
the initials &c. r.. K" thereon, to the
box containing the collar buttons and
to the collar buttons, to the hair ex-
hibit, the hammer with which the mur-
der was committed. the door with

hall, the typewriter label on the box
in which the poison was supposed to
have been mailed, the word sampler
written ON the box, the envelope cons
tanning pieces of the cardboard box in
which was a bottle of bromo caffeine
sent to DR.. Reinecke, the Smith. Pre-
smier typewriter, the sample work of
that typewriter and DR.. Strickler's bot
tie of strychnine.
The state made no objection to the

and the relics of the cardboard box
sent to DR.. Reinecke, but to all the
other motions 1t objected and the court
sustained it. Mr.. Brown then moved
that the court direct verdict of mot
guilty" but this was promptly denied
The court then adjourned. Tomorrow
morning the defense will begin its task
of clearing the defendant
Brooks Helps the Accused
The general impression seems to be
that Asa P. Brooks has made this task
easier. He was on the witness stand
all the afternoon and the greater part
of the morning, and though called by
the court and therefore subject to
most rigid cross examination on the
part of the state, his testimony APP
peared to lose little of the firm effect it
produced. When Judge Webber an
nounced after the morning, recess that
the court would itself call Asa P.
Brooks in order that both sides might
have chance to cross examine him
sudden hush, unusual in its significance
even for court room, fell on the spec
tators 1t was one Of these dramatic

SHOOTS HIMSELF
WITH FATHERS GUN
DR.. w. A. Nored, q Young Min
neapolis Physician, Puts
Bullet in Heart

DR.. William A. NOrred, Minneapolis,
aged thirty four, committed suicide
yesterday afternoon by shooting him
self through the heart in the bathroom
of his apartments at the Hotel Lam
dour, Ninth street and Nicollet ave-
nue., in Minneapolis, yesterday after
noon. s
There is every evidence that the
young man had premeditated the act,
for he left a note on the table in his
room in which he is said to have stated
that he had not been as successful in
his practice as he had expected and
there were some other reasons which
impelled him to take his life.
DR.. Norred is a son of DR.. C. H. Nor
red, the veteran practitioner, who in
now at the ST. Barnabas hospital re-
covering from the effects of most Sc
rious surgical operation, and he has
not been apprised of the death of his
son for fear the shock will be too great
for him to Withstand owing to his en-
feebled condition.
Was University Graduate
DR. w. A. Norred, the suicide, was a
graduate of the state university medi-
cal department two years ago. He took
a post graduate course In Chicago
hospital, and later had an important
position with railroad hospital in In
diana. He went from here to South
Dakota and came to Minneapolis in
June.
In September he associated himself
with DIR. w. b. Murray and was build
ing up practice which promised to be
lucrative, but, apparently, it did not
grow as fast as he wished or expected.
OF late he has been somewhat de-
spondent, but his condition was ascribed
to worry over the condition Of his aged
father, who was forced to submit to
two severe surgical operations in an
attempt to prolong his life and the fact
that the receipts from his practice
were not what he expected them to be-.
He called at st. Barnabas hospital
yesterday morning for the purpose of
seeing his father and later visited his
Offices in the Century building, where
he chatted with DR.. Murray.
Uses Fathers Army Revolver
Then he went to his apartments in
tuS -LdIlaOuI, ana, taxing the large
army revolver which his father carried
during the Civil war, he entered the
bathroom and shot himself through the
heart. Although the weapon was one
of large caliber, the sound of the shot
was not heard and he was not discov-
cred until member of the family en-
tered the bathroom and found him ly-
ing on the floor. The note was then
found on the table and the fact that
the suicide was premeditated was es-
tablished.
DIR. j. M. Kistler, the coroner, is of
the opinion that hard work and worry
had affected the young mans mind to
such an extent that he was not respon-
sible for his actions. He had no fam
lily troubles, and worry over the condi-
ton of his father and his own neager
income is believed to have unsettled his
mind. He leaves a widow who is al.
most Frustrated by the sudden death
of her husband.

Lovsman & Co.'s Market Letter.

The week closed with net gain of about 15 points for October, compared with 1O.54 last Saturday. The market was higher during the early part of the week on unfavorable weather and crop ac- counts from the northwestern portion of the belt, and while. the situation remains unchanged west of the Mississippi river, the more favorable weather in the cen tral and eastern section of the belt induc- ed some liquidation of long cotton. and short selling. The easier market of today was attributed to some little uneasiness by outsiders concerning the health of our city, Galveston and Mobile having quar- antined New Orleans on the grounds of claims to the effect that two suspicious cases of yellow fever had been discovered by visiting health officers from the neigh boring states, but in which finding our local health officers disagree, they hav- Ing seen nothing yet which would jus tify them in announcing that the cases under investigation were yellow fever. It Is probable that further investigation into the matter will reveal nothing but the usual summer symptoms and ru- mors. In any case, whatever may be the developments, cotton will not be mate rially affected. if it be affected at all, as under the regulation of the gulf state conference, freight will not be interfered with. only persons and baggage. so that commerce will not be interrupted.
