MAY AMEND THE LAW
Legislature May Change Collateral In.
heritance Law So That Counties in
Which the Tax is Collected Will Get
Portion Of the Revenue Therefron,.

Lies MONIES, Aug. lit Is not un-
likely that the next legislature will
amend the collateral Inheritance law
so as to divide the receipts collected
by the government under it's provisions
between the state treasury and the
counties in which the tax Is imposed
on estates.
There is decided tendency in this
direction and it is understood that
State Treasurer Gilbertson in his forth
coming biennial report will indorse the
idea. Representative r. D. Chassell of
Plymouth county, introduced bill TO
legislature, and it failed of considera-
ton in the senate. He will renew the
effort to secure the passage Of the
measure. next winter with far better
prospect of success. especially in view
of the Endorsement of the idea by the
treasurer of state.
The theory Of the division is that IL
the counties are going to get something
out of the tax, which now goes wholly
to the state, it's officers will be more
efficient and painstaking in discover
Ing estates from which the tax may be
collected and more diligent in collect
ing the tax.
The state treasurer comedies with
the view of those who advocate the
change in the law that It would be bet
ter enforced We're a division arranged
for, say of rs per cent to the country
in which the estate is located and the
rest to the state. He has not expressed
an opinion as to whether the result
would be larger net revenue to the
state or a smaller. The claim is made
by those who have advocated the
change in the legislature that 1t would
result in more actual revenue to the
state than the present system, under
which the treasury receives 100 per
cent
However, another change would also
be necessary to add to the chance Of
better enforcement of the law. At
present county clerks are compelled to
perform duties In connection with the
collection of the collateral inheritance
tax for which they receive no COM
lLIC JuuSlIICIl VI Liz
state treasurer and those familiar with
the difficulties Of these collections
this should be remedied and the clerks
permitted some remuneration for SER
vices required by the law.
Officers Now Lax.
County attorneys and appraisers now
discharge their duties with consider
able laxity in some cases, and often it
is difficult at the best for the state
treasury department to secure infor-
nation on which to base a definite idea
as to how much an estate should pay.
The treasurer of state believes that his
department should be given a contin-
gent fund with which to operate in
securing a better enforcement of the
collateral inheritance tax and other
revenue laws.
The treasurer advocates a complete
revision Of the collateral inheritance
tax law.

was that his hands were In bad shape.
Some people suspected that he had
burned his hands Intentionally, for tho
purpose of concealing his injuries.
Then the old hammer was looked
into. and witnesses came forward to
swear that it had belonged to DIR.
Koch's father. 1t was proven that DR..
Koch had been given one of the adj
vertising pencils not an hour before the
murder These pencils had arrived only
a day or two before. and a limited
number had been given out, and they
were all or nearly all traced.
Other circumstances pointed toward
DR.. Koch, and what appeared to be
quite strong circumstantial case was
made out. On the other hand the own
ership of the hammer pencil and hand
kerchief were denied and every point
brought forth by the prosecution was
contested. DR. Koch retained the SER
vices of several law firms and the state
fortified itself with legal talent. The
defendant announced that he was anx-
ious for a trial in order to prove his
innocence. He claimed an alihi, sup
ported by members of his family,
claiming to have arrived home at about
the time the murder was committed.
Trials of Case.
DIR. Koch was indicted Nov II, and
the first trial opened Dec. ~. The
state called sixty-five witnesses and
the defense sixty-eight, and the court
called one witness, Asa p. Brooks. ed
itor of q weekly paper at New Ulm,
who was in way an eyewitness 10
the crime, inasmuoh as he had taken
one glance over the transom just as
the murder was completed and saw a
man bending over the PROSTATE body
of the murdered man. The murderer
then Strengthened up and looked up at
Brooks, who Immediately Departed and
gave the alarm. Brooks stated that
the man whom he saw was not Dr.
Koch. but was the same type OF man
and looked more like him than any
man In New Ulm. The state claimed
that the man that Brooks saw was Dr.
Koch, and that owing to the latter's
features being distorted by passion
Brooks had failed to recognize him.
The first trial was completed Jan.
%. when the jury disagreed. standing
nine for acquittal and three for con-
viction. A change Of venue was then
taken TO MankdIO, anu UHe sSSoiiu
trial opened April 10 and closed May
Is. when the jury disagreed. standing
five for conviction and seven for &C
quittal.
The third trial opened July 8. At
each trial both sides have been able
to produce some new evidence.
Shortly before the murder DR.. Geb-
hardt received sample hottie OF
bromo- caffaine, containing strychnine,
and at the first two trials 1t was
sought to prove that DIR. Koch mailed
1t at HanslSa, little village where he
had a branch office Business rivalry
was given IS motive. At the third
trial the poison phase was dropped
and jealousy was substituted as the
motive The lady in the case, as all
legged by the state. is Miss Mary Fitz-
patrick, of winona, handsome young
teacher in the New Ulm schools. DR.
Koch has been keeping company with
her but the state failed absolutely to
show any cause for jealousy. There
was no known antipathy between Drs-
Koch and Gebhardt.
