Koch's AIibi.

The State has tried TO prove that the
hammer with which Gebhardts skull
was crushed, and which was left In the
doctors office covered with blood. once
belonged 10 George Koeh's father. 1t
has tried to prove that the motive for
the crime was professional Jealousy.
And above all it has tried to prove that
the alibi of George Koeh's. which rests
upon the evidence OF his father and sis
ter, and finally upon the old clock IN
the Koch home. is worthless.
According to the weight of evidence
the crime was committed between 9:35
and 9:45 O'Clock in the evening. DR..
Koch, by the testimony of his father
and his sister. reached his home at $40.
His roommate IN the house. a college
student. testified that he came down
TO the bedroom at five minutes TO ten.
Moreover it is stated that the clock in

Gebhardt.s office. where the crime was
committed. is a good fifteen minutes
walk from the Koch house. It is pos
sihle that DIR. Koch might have reacheo
his home and covered the distance In
five minutes had he run all the way.
It is plain. therefore. that the prose-
cution must either prove that the allbi
established by Dr. -Kochs family IS
worthless, because his family are natur-
ally prejudiced in his favor, or that the
crime was committed at an earlier hour
than has yet been brought our in the

outskirts Of the little German city of
New Ulm, Minnesota, little knew the
important part it was destined to play
in the struggle for the life of Il second
man, accused of the murder But upon
its accuracy, or rather lack of accuracy,
hangs the life of George r. Koch. a
twenty-four year old dentist Was the
clock seven minutes fast or was it on
time? Seven minutes is not a long
time. but seven minutes one way or
the other may in this case curtan the
life of a man to a few short weeks, or
extend il possibly beyond the allotted
three score years and ten.
Last November the little German viii
lage was startled from its comfortable
sluggishness by a bideous murder. Since
then life in New UIm has been a long
nightmare. Men who were fast friends
have become estranged, strong fac
tionai discord has rent the place, hith-
erto quiet. This strange condition of
affairs arose after DIR. l.. A Gebhardt
had been done to death in his office
where he was working alone. DR.. Geb-
hardt was a dentist who had practiced
for six years successfully, and who was
well liked by all those who came into
contact with him. He was found by
friends who rushed to the scene Of the
crime, lying in a pool of blood, with his
skull fractured and numerous knife
wounds about the neck and head.

Several people who were walking along

street of the city on that evening, heard
cries coming from the offices and heard
a noise OF scufiiing and the overtucning

much of it at that time, and it was
not until Asa p. Brooks. editor of the
New Ulm Review. came down TO his
office and heard the noise that the
sounds were given much significance.
When Brooks stepped into his office he
heard the sounds issuing from the dental
rooms, which are just above, but
