FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS

General Childs has informed Judge
Cray that the state will not be able
to get in all of its evidence this week.
This is the ninth day since the trial
began, and it begins to look as though
the case will not be completed before
the expiration of two more full weeks
after this
County Attorney Wilson is daily re-
ceiving letters from people who have
suggestions to offer as to how the case
ought to be conducted. They are most
ly freak letters, and receive little ser.
lous consideration. The state long ago
planned just what every move at tine
present trial would be, and that pro-
gram is being followed to a dot.
Miss Emma Gerhard, of Milwaukee,
sister of the murdered dentist, had come
to the city with the idea of remaining
only until the end of this week, but
through the trial. She states that she
wants to hear both sides of the case.
She regrets the fact that sensational
accounts of the trial have been sent out.
for the papers are widely read and peo-
pie as rule believe what they read.
She criticized particularly report that
the murderer might have been mad
man. Her mother was not able to
stand the strain of the case, or she
would probably also be present. She
lives at Black River Falls, Wis, and
reads the accounts of the trial with eae-
erness.
Miss Gebhard said that she has al
ways read about the case as much as
possible, in a number of papers.
While the state has undoubtedly
strengthened its case since the New Ulm
trial, the defense is taking advantage

Chief Klause On.

Ado1ph Klanse, chief of police of New
Ulm, was called. He said that he had
been chief of police for seven years. He
was at home when informed at two

there, but nobody else. Witness was
unable to identify the body and called
in Gen. Bobleter, who was near the door.
Saw the lead pencil lying on the blood
a foot from the head and six or eight
inches from the shoulder. Saw the
words "a. J. Vogel, lumber" on the
pencil. He stopped over and read the
words as the room was lighted and he
had his electric flash. He turned the
body to the left on the right shoulder,
forty live degrees. Took out the watch
from Gebhard's pocket and it was.

papers from the left upper vest pocket.
The body was then identified. The pen
Gil was fourteen to sixteen inches from
the pocket mentioned. The pencil was
picked up next morning and given to
me.
Noticed that the screen was cut
close to the frame. Saw blood stains on
the frame, screen and window sill. There
were finger prints under the window

several finger marks on the right half
Of the screen. There was some blood

THE FISH THAT GET AWAY.

Two fshed in the old Ohio
When a freckled. barefoot boy.
Pulled eats from the hole
With hickory pole
And carried them home With Joy:
Eut among the cats. both large and small
That hooked in my bygonc day.
The cat that I wanted most of all
Was the one that got away.
I've tossed the lively sinner
With rod OF supple steel,
Where lie the bass
Ey the floating grass,
And brought them in with a reel;
But of all the bass I ever caught
None was so large and fine.
None sent the blood through my vein.
so hot.
As the bass that broke my line.
I've waded the clear. cold northern
streams
And cast for speckled trout;
Have found the fly
That took their eye,
And lurcd the beauties out;
But of all tho trout that ever riss
From many a teeming brook,
None loom so large in memory's eyes
As the ones that slip tho hook.
So runs the world-our wisest words
Are the worls We fail to speak;
The sweetest kiss
Is the one we miss:
The sweetest grapes we seek
Hang Just too high, and We long and
look.
And sigh as We sadly say.
The best of the fish that come to our hook
Are the fish that get away
