we first entered. Mr.. Nenno entered
after we did, but left before l went t.
telephone the chief of police. From the
time we broke in the door till l went
for the light it was not over five min
utes. 1t was five to seven minutes
from the time we broke in the door un
til the clock struck ten. Weisenborn
when we first went in, said he thought
he heard live man in the reception
room. / told him / thought we had
him foul, as there was no back door.
thought that we were sure to get the
murderer, and for that reason went at
it cautiously and surely, so that nc
more lives would be lost
Saw the Murderer.
William +. Cavanaugh said that he
was in front of Engelbert's saloon when
he first heard of the trouble, Mr.
Brooks telling me. 1t was about GAO
p. IN. Two men, Mccall and Horton
were standing with me. Brooks said
that something had happened in Geb-
hard's office, a man was wounded and
needed doctor to pull him through
THAT there was too much blood
there for pulling a tooth"
l went with Brooks up stairs. Brooks
got up on the railing, looked over the
transom and got down and said: look
for yourself" The transom was over
the door to the operating room. i got
up and looked over and saw the right
shoulder and part of the back of the
head of live man. He had dark hair
and don't think he had anything on his
head. Don't know how he was dressed.
He walked out of view.
l then went down stairs and Brooks
also. At the foot of the stairs saw
two railroad men, Alfred Vogel and
Others. Saw no girls there. Went to
Ingelbret's saloon and told four men
playing cards at table and the others
there that something had happened at
DIR. Gebhard's office. l then went half
block and found policeman and told
him, and then 1 telephoned for DR..
Weiser. 1t was couple of minutes
after / heard of the matter till 1 came
back and reported it at the saloon.
On cross-examination, witness said ne
had been standing in front of the sa-
loon a minute or minute and a half
before Brooks came to him and said
something had happened. Brooks said
that he was afraid that there was some
trouble in Gebhard's office, that there
was too much blood there for pulling
a tooth. The banister from the post
to the wall at the head of the stairs
was three and half feet high, and by
standing on it person could look
through the transom. Brooks did it..
He said nothing more than for me to
get up and look for myself. l looked,
but did not see man lying on the floor.
The live man was walking close to the
wall. When l got down l got down
and made a remark that there was
somebody in the room-a live man.
When l stood in front of the saloon |
heard no noise from any direction and
did not see young man and two
girls, nor do ! remember passing tine
latter in crossing the sidewalk to the
stairway. l did not hear any moaning
or scuffling or any sound like chair
falling. l did not go from the direc-
ton of Fassenmeyer's.
Mr. Vogel, the man who gave DR..
Koch and Others lead pencils was the
next witness.
Brooks Subpoened.
Asa P. Brooks has been subpoened by
the state, but has not yet arrived.
When asked whether he would be put
on the stand by the state, an attorney
for the state said this afternoon: "Why
should we went to put him onY We
have subpoened him and he will be on
hand for anyone to call who wants to.
We have done our part"
Yesterday afternoon Photographer j.
r. Snow turned his camera on the Koch
jury and secured an excellent picture
of the twelve men. This afternoon The
Free Press presents to its thousands of
readers the likenesses of the gentlemen.
This paper is the first to give the public
picture of the men who will decide
the fate of the young dentist, another
evidence of its enterprise.
