The courtroom was crowded to its
limit. Judge Cray is making il a prac-
tice to ask the audience to remain
seated until the jury has filed out
whenever a recess or intern1isison is
taken. This prevents the jurors get
ting mixed up with the crowd. The
jurymen sleep in the grand jury room
and are served their meals at the resi-
dence of Sheriff Williams.
One of the Last With Gebhard
The first witness called this after
noon was Albert Haegene, a pleasant
appearing young New Ulm man, who
was having dental work done by DR..
Gebhard. He went to the doctors Of
flee at $50 o'clock on the evening of
the murder, and found DR.. Gebhard
sitting in his shirt sleeves in his op-
Grating room, reading a paper. The
dentist showed his caller around and
made an appointment with him and
then put on his working coat and went
TO work finishing some plates, using a
polishing machine for the purpose.
There were two electric lights in the
operating room, and he thought one in
the reception room. The only chairs in
the operating room were two dentists
chairs and the desk chair. Nobody
came IN While witness was there, and
he left at about so o'clock
George Schmidt, young bookkeeper
of New Ulm, saw DR.. Koch at .. m.
of Nov. !. on the east side of Mime
sofa street, crossing Center, and two
hours later passed him on Minnesota
street at Howenstein's corner, south
of the Gebhard offices and on the same
side of the street.
On crossexamination the witness
said that he could not remember
whether Koch at their first meeting
had a package. The second meeting
was about $40 p. m. Thought he
then had something in his hand, but
couldn't remember about it.
Didn't you testify at the first trial
that Koch had something under his
arm about twelve to fourteen inches
long, tied up in manila paper?"
1T wasn't as long as that"
But didn't you testify that?"
Yes, SIR
We'll, did he have it?"
Yes, SIR
Koch did not try to conceal the
package, and did not act different from
other times. He had a derby hat on
and a long cravenette overcoat. He
wore the same hat and coat after
wards.
On redirect, witness said that he
could not swear that >they were the
same coat and hat, but to the best of
his knowledge they were.

ADEN, Arabia, April 25-The situ-
alton in Turkish Arabia has become
critical. Only thousand of the Turk
ish troops sent ITO the relief of Ria
Pasha reached Sanaa and these fled
after suffering a defeat at the hands
of the insurgents. Ria Pasha's troops,
5000 strong, encountered the Arabs in
great force five miles south of Sanaa

most of the troops, consisting of Syrian
reserves, laid down their arms or de-
serted, the remnant of the Turks man.
aging TO reach Saraa the same even
ing with only fifty camel loads of sup
plies.
The chief of staff, Izzat Pasha, was
killed and seven guns were abandoned
and taken possession of by the Arabs,
who also captured 200 camels laden
with provisions and large quantities of
rifles and ammunition. The invest
ment of Sanaa by the insurgents is
being frightened. The Syrian rein
forcements which recently arrived in
Arabia are unsatisfactory, and the OF
toman officials are anxiously awaiting
the arrival of European battalions
upon whom the fate of the capital OF
Yemen province depends.
LONDON, April 25.- Officials con-
versant with the situation in Yemen
province regard the situation there as
being in the nature of a life or death
struggle for the sultan of Turkey. They
point out that the warlike Arabs OF
Yemen, who have never done more
than impatiently tolerate the Turkish
yoke, have now grown tired of paying
taxes three or four times over and have
revolted. Should the rising in Yemen
succeed it is bound to spread north TO

wiped out in that holy land of Mo-
hammedanism he will lose all claims
to the title of protector of the holy
places, which is regarded as the main
factor In holding his empire together.

the view that there will be no great or

Liberty Comes Up for Discussion
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
MANKATO, Mimi, April 25. - The
Koch trial is now in full swing. The
taking of evidence began this morn
ing, and the state made considerable
progress in developing its case. Sew
eral witnesses, including Drs. Weiser
and Freitsche, We're examined, and the
evidence was almost identical with
that of the same witnesses at the New
Ulm trial In only one particular was
there any change of base on the part
of the state noticeable, and that ap-
peared while the witness George
Schmidt was being examined. The
state failed to ask him whether he
saw Koch have any package under his
arm, wrapped in manila paper, when he
saw the dentist on the evening of the
murder. At the New Ulm trial one of
the points made by the state was that
Koch carried such a package under
his arm, the theory being that it was
the hammer with which the murder
was committed. 1t was left for this to
be brought out in crossexamination to-
day, after the witness memory had
been refreshed by reference to his pre-
VlouS testimony.
The evidence is being taken a little
more slowly than at the New Ulm trial,
for the reason that the defense is cross
examining the states witnesses more
thoroughly. 1t took two weeks to get
the testimony all in at New Ulm, and
as there are additional witnesses to be
examined at the present trial, it may
take longer.
~ Still Enjoys Liberty
DR.. Koch is still out on bail. Judge
Cray, when asked today by T h e
G o b e correspondent whether he in
tended to let the defendant have his
liberty throughout the trial, replied
that no one had approached him in
regard to having it otherwise, and un-
Ill somebody made a move the pres
ent order will continue. Gen Childs of
the counsel for the state was asked.
and replied that he was making it a
practice not to give out in advance
any moves that he might be contem-
plating.
An attorney not connected with the
case remarked today that the jury is
4 good one for the defense He said
that he knew that four or five of the
jurors would never bring in a verdict
of guilty where capital punishment
was the penalty.
Among the new arrivals today was
Robert Heidmann of Arlington, Mimi,
who is the husband of a sister of Dr.
Koch. He will remain through a part
of the trial at least, but does not ex-
pect his wife to come. Will E. Koch

NORWAY STANDS OUT

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 25.-
The Norwegian government has de-
clined TO accede to the crown prince
regents request for a renewal of the
negotiations looking to an adjustment
OF the differences between Sweden and
Norway, but requires as precedent TO
such negotiations the establishment of
separate consular service and that
no obstacle be imposed on the exist
ing liberty of action of either country.
In consequence of this decision the re-
gent issued statement today as fol-
lows:
The Norwegian government unfor-
tunately declines TO associate itself
with my proposal for fresh negotia-
tions concerning the union. / must
therefore, with sincere. regret, leave
the matter to the council of state"
The common affairs of Sweden and
Norway are decided by a council of
state composed of Swedes and Nor
wegians.
CHRISTIANIA. Norway, April 25.-
The government issued a statement to-
day giving the reason for its action in
declining TO accede TO the crown prince
regents request. The statement saws
that while Norway is not seeking a dis
solution of the union, the people unan-
imously demand separate consular rep
resentation and that to yield this point
pending negotiations, as suggested by
the prince regent, would mean the sur
render of a fundamental right. The
statement points out that negotiations
have hitherto been fruitless and that
there Is no reason to suppose that a
further effort will be more fruitful.

THREE DEAD BABES FOUND.
Garbage Heap I'm Portland Contains
Grewsome Objects


Portland, Oct. 6.-Three dead in
fants were found i'm a rubbish heap on
Twelfth street. between Oveidon and
Pettygrove, this morning. by Mounted
Policeman J. F. Anderson. Deputy
Coroner Baldwin, with the aid of the
policeman and detectives. is endeavor-
ing to ascertain who is responsible.
As soon as the officer made the dis
ccvery he went Immediately to head
quarters, where he made a report of
the affair. On his return To the place
two of the bodies had been removed
and have not been found
The attention of the policeman was
attracted to the place by the odor that
arose from a garbage heap. The gar
bage was placed there during the
night and the officer began to investi-
gate. In an empty barrel he found
three bodies. The barrel was placed
on a pile of lumber which had been
partially burned. evidently in the hope
that they would be cremated. He left
them as they were found and returned
to the station.
Deputy Coroner Baldwin was de-
tailed by the coroner to investigate
and found a number of articles in the
rubbish heap that led to the belief
that the rubbish was taken either from
a hospital or from a medical school.
A pair of rubber gloves and numerous
other articles used by surgeons and
physicians were found.
He also ascertained the driver of the
garbage wagon to be II. Wade. Wade
says he got the refuse from the medi
cal college. A further investigation
will be made to find out who can be
blamed for such carelessness.
