JURY DECLARES DR..
KOCH NOT GUILTY
MINNESOTA DENTIST is GIVEN
HIS LIBERTY.
CASE MOST SENSATIONAL
Was Charged with Murder Of DR.. Geb-
hardt, a Brother Dentist, at
New Ulm---Evidence Mostly
Circumstantial.

Mankato, Mimi, Aug. 2.-The jury in
the third trial of DR.. George r. Koch,
charged with the murder Of Or. L. A.
Gebhardt, his brother dentist at New
Ulm, Mimi, on the night of November
/, 1904, Tuesday afternoon returned a
verdict Of not guilty, after three hours
OF deliberation.
The case has been sensational one,
and has held the close attention OF the
people OF the northwest Or. Gebhardt
was found lying In a pool OF blood on the
floor Of his office about ten o'clock at
night, his head crushed by blows OF a
hammer The most important witness
In the trials was Asa p. Brooks, editor
Of the New Ulm Review. who heard
scuffiing in DR.. Gebhardts office, which
Is directly over the editorial room of
the Review and ran up the side stairs
TO ascertain the cause Not being able
to make an entrance, he peered through
the transom, and saw the murderer
standing over Gebhard's body. Brooks
testified that although the murderer
turned and looked at him. he could not
recogpize the man, but swore that II
was not Koch The rest of theievidence
was purely circumstantial.
Dr. Koch did not seem unusually per-
turbed on account Of the murder. He
continued his practice at New Ulm, was
ypresent at the inquest, and sang at the
funeral. Circumstantial evidence, how
ever, strengthened by knowledge OF
Jealousy alleged to have resulted from
business rivalry and love affairs, caused
suspicion to be directed toward him, aud
he was finally indicted. The first two
trials resulted In disagreement.

Headquarters of General Kuroki's
Army, via Fusan, May 1.-The ami
versary of the battle at Yalu was cele-
brated by General Kuroki's army to-

plots and hillsides for the reproluc-
ton of japanese scenery.
An altar with tablet in memory
of the army's dead was erected on
the summit of a hill. The approach
to the altar was wide avenue through
grove of trees studded with artific.
ial cherry blossoms, and crossed by
triumphal arches.
Other features of the decorations
were an equestrian statue, represent
ing General Kuroki, and a reproduc-
ton of the Yalu battlefield. Shinto
Buddhist services in memory of the
dead soldiers were helu at the altar
with the troops massed at the foot
of the hill.
Race tracks, theaterS and a profit
sion of unique decorations were laid
out on the plain. Several hundred
officers lunched at tables spread UNI
der tn trees, and amusements which
followed included a procession repre-.
senting the Samamuri warriors and
followers of feudal times. Horse rae
ing, theatricals and wrestling COM
pleted the days program.
