READS THE STARS
FOR KOCH'S FATE
ASTROLOGER CAST HOROSCOPE OF
NEW ULM DENTIST.
She Declares That the Man on Trial
for Gebhardt Murder Never Could
Have Planned the Deeds Morbid
and Beset by Evil Influences but Will
Not Be Convicted.

DR.. George r. Koch, now on trial for
the murder Of DR.. Gebhardt, has a DR..
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde nature. Marie
Percy, local astrologer who has fol
lowed the case thru the movements of
the planets and who has cast Koch s
horoscope, makes this statement. Fur
thermore, tho the young dentist, has
many good influences on his side, he is
constantly beset by dangers from I'M
friendly influences.
There are indications which denote
insanity possibly, violent death, and
other evils. She is of the opinion, how
ever, that he will not be found guilty
and that professional jealousy never
could have been sufficient motive to
astrologer makes the following char
acter analysis and forecast:
If the data given in regard to DR.. Koch
are correct, the time given being Oct II,
1880, at noon. in the city Of New Ulm,
Mimi. the sign Sagittarius 26 So was ris-
| ing at the eastern horizon at the moment
| of his birth, therefore Jupiter is the sig
niflcator of his life.
To give a correct estimate OF an 1ndl-
| viduals nature it is necessary to weigh
all the testimonials for and against the
| subject-it is like "a trial by jury
| In this case there are very conflicting
testimonies, some of which are very good
| while others are unusually evil.
Significance Of Jupiter.
| Jupiter, the life ruler, is the greatest
| benefc, and tends to make the sup]ec'
| courteous, generous, prudent, sympathet1c
and humane, and to confer frienos' sue
| cess and honors.
! On the other hand, the planet Is ret
rograde in a cadent house, and IS atfectec
here by other influences. This makes Jup'
| tier weak for good and Is evil for the ma
ture and the events of the LIE.
| The first aspect which the moon forms
| after birth Is with the sun and, tho
| strong aspect, Is better for him than
the first aspect were with Mars a'1'
