WOMEN REGRET PURPLE.
Wretched Color Contrast Between
Gowns and Compilations.


New York Press-It looks as if
many fashionably gowned women
this season will be Of a color mental
ly with their costumes, for many OF
the new blue frocks are appallingly
expensive. There are also blue suede
shoes and fascinating silk stockings,
both in the plain shade and of white,
closely embroidered with forget-me-
nots and other star like blossoms OF
the same heavenly blue. Among the
gowns is Miss Frederick webb trous-
seau, which is said to be the most
costly of any bride since May Goelet
became an English duchess, is one of
dark blue cloth made in the princess
fashion, tight-ftting bodice coming

chiffon. Over this is worn a pictur-
esque loose coat of cloth to match,
which may be fastened with big but
tons made of blue and gold beads, like
the bead bags of our grand1nothers.
These buttons are the newest thing,
and in a design of white AM blue
flowers look like delicate enamels.
'.How unkind!" says almost every
woman who hears that purple mas

sons color. They see neither beauty
nor wisdom in such a choice. for the
hue doesn't go at all with the major
ity of compilations, and it is very, very
trying Although blue continues 10

purple mad, and gowns OF the color
meet the eye at every turn. The
craze is carried out ingeniously in
various ways, and bags of all sorts
and purses are made up of purple of
different shades. 1t does not at all
matter what shade, so long as they
are purple.

LaFollette today sent to the legis
lature his resignation as governor, to
take effect at noon the first Monday OF
January, when he will take his seat in
the United States senate, to which he
was elected almost year ago. All the
bills, seventeen in number, passed
during the extra session Of two weeks.
were approved by the governor. He
attached memorandum to the bin
providing for an investigation OF the
university, raising the question that
this bill was not germane to the call
for the extra session, and therefore
perhaps open to attack, but he signed
it lest veto might operate to
prejudice the people against the in
stitution. He also declared the $4,000
appropriation contained in the bill for
the investigation as eXtravagant, but
expressed confidence that the legisla
tive committee of investigation would
exercise economy. The extra session
adjourned sine die at noon.

bills defeating both the Warner and
Roycraft bills after the adverse votes
of yesterday had been reconsidered.
The vote on the Warner bill, the
Massachusetts act eliminating the

voting for individual candidates, was
close. 1t was called as A to AZ in

commission was fair, and such bill
was passed.
Mr.. Andrew, a LaFollette floor

Koch Is Hopeful.
Dr.. Koch asked to be confined alone
if possible, and Sheriff Williams gave
him the second floor of the Jail, with
the corridor to exercise in. When seen
there this afternoon by The Free Press,
he had no more to say than hereto
fore, stating that he was under tae I'M
structions of his attorneys to say moth
ing, for if he said anything it mas apt
to be twisted.
DR.. Koch said that he hoped for an
Iacqnittal. He thought that the case
had been presented to the jury in bet
ter shape for him than at the New Ulm
trial, as the mail clerks had shown
that the box could not have been mail
ed as claimed by the state. After the
jury has been discharged he expects to

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1905-05-17
TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS

The defense in the Koch case has
made out much stronger case against
the attempted poison theory of the
state than it was able to do at New
Ulm. 1t has proved conclusively that
the blue box containing the poison bot
tie was not mailed at Hanska the week
that DR.. Koch was there, and yesterday
it shook the states testimony regarding
the typewriter, It practically impeached
the states expert, Mr.. Baird, by means
of neat device. Twenty or thirty
samples of typewriting were submitted
to him by the defense the other day,
and ne said that only one of them was
made on the machine in question. Yes
terday, Mr.. Singleton, the expert of the
defense, testified that he had written
the samples in the presence of others,
and that ten of them wer emade on the
machine in question in the presence of
witnesses. Mr.. Singleton's theory of
Identification of the writing of any par
ticular typewriter seemed to be more
reasonable than that of Mr.. Baird.
At the New Ulm trial the defense
was unable to get samples of the type
until the day before the trial began,
and there was then not time to do it,
Attorney Brown, in speaking of yes
terday's typewriter testimony, said:
eve went more into detail this time
and made our case thirdly as strong as
it was at New Ulm. The state didn't
go into the details as much as it did
there, and did not seem to make much
point of it,
1t appears now as though the defense
would rest sometime tomorrow. The
state will then put on some rebuttal. to
be followed by surrebuttal. ..t"
Tests for Strychnine.
After the afternoon recess yesterday,
the witness, Prof. Richard Fisher, said
that sulphuric acid will not evaporate
unless subjected to high temperature,
when it will pass off. The cat seen at
the Koch premises appeared to be gray
1t ran away and [ could not see it well
enough to see whether it was white. [
read the paper half way between the
corn crib and the barn, and again near
the fence toward the Herman monument.
Also leaned the folded paper against
part of the fence toward the Herman
monument. Am the life long friend
and school mate of the defendant.
On redirect, the witness said That he
went to the Koch premises Sunday
night in order to ascertain the effect of
the city light in Illuminating the prem
ises. There were no other lights except
the street lights. Two or three parti-
cles of effervescent salts or strychnine
tablets would not pulverize readily if
in bottle with very little powdered
substance. The witness produced a bot
tie with several of these particles. He
mad carried the bottle since Friday and
they had not pulverized to any extent.
The defense offered the bottle in evil
denee. 1t contained piece of strych-
nine tablet and a portion of salt cry
stal. Am the life long friend and

Koch Remanded to Jail.

just before the court took its noon
recess, Gen. Childs arose and moved,
on behalf of the state, that the defend
ant be placed in the custody of the
sheriff.
The court remarked that he supposed
that the defense would not have any
serious objections to that, and asked
if they had.
Mr.. Brown said that they had no SER
ious objections, but he did not think
that it was necessary, as the defendant
would remain in the city and be on
hand whenever wanted.
Judge Cray said that perhaps it
would be best to have the defendant
placed in the custody of the sheriff, and
he so ordered. He said that the time
that the jury would be out would not
be very long in any event. It was alb
solutely necessary That he be on hand
when wanted
Mr.. Clark said that they would not
like to have the order made SO broad as
to vacate the bond. The court replied
| that it had not made it so broad but

Should Investigate the Motive.

In the investigation of criminal
charges it is usual to inquire wheth-
er, at the time in question, the accused
person had any motive to commit the
crime which he is charged with having
committed; because, ordinarily, human
beings are impelled to act by some
known or secret motive; and in this
case, it is the duty of the jury to con-
slider, whether, under all of the evidence
in the case, it appears that the defend
ant did, or did not, have motive for
the commission of the crime charged
against him. The careful considerat ton
of this question will materially aid YOU
to determine the question of the guilt
or innocence of the defendant
If motive is shown to exist, it is a
circumstance to be considered by the
jury, with all other circumstances, in
determining the guilt or innocence of
