not put Hage on the stand. We will
show that DR.. Koch went to Hanska
Wednesday night, coming back Thurs
4 day noon, but as business at New Tim
Increased he dropped his outside APP
lpointments. He dropped the Hanska ap
pointment in September and did not in
tend to go there again. DR.. Wood
wrote him that number of people
wanted work done. DR.. Koch then put
! a notice in the paper that he would be
there on Friday. When he got there
/ he found that DR.. Wood had left his
former office in a public street and NOV
ed it to private house on side street.
DIR. Koch then packed his cnair and
moved back to New Ulm. Now DR..
Reineke changes his testimony so as
to catch DIR. Koch at Hanska and says
that DIR. Gebhard got his package on
Saturday It was five weeks before
Friday that DR.. Koch had last been at
/ Hdnska. We take satisfaction in show
ing one thing in this case, and that is
how people can sit down and fix their
testimony to fit the facts. We will
snow that the package, if mailed on Fri
day on the train that DR.. Koch went on,
would have reached New Ulm at l:55
p. m. Friday Miss Shapekahm could
not have gotten the package until Sat
urday noon, but she testifes that she
got it about Wednesday, and opened it
Saturday forenoon on DR.. Gebhard's
busy day. We will show that the box
was not mailed between Oct. oath and
Nov. End The mail clerk laid off
week and locked up his seal. 1t was
this seal that made the stamp marks
on the box The 1904 is below the four
lines. None of the other stamps used
by mail clerks is like them Mr.. Roy
stamped it. Nelson and Liesch will say
that their stamps are not on the box,
and that nobody else on the Storm Lake
route did any stamping. We will prove
that the testimony of Thompson and
Hage if not false it is product of their
own imagnations. We will show that
Detective Rydell saw mail clerks Liesch
and Nelson and got the samples of their
stamps and the stamps were compared
and found that the stamps did not fit
hn hnx- 4hot
edge, this testimony in the case has
been given, provided the Pinkerton man
impaired his knowledge to the rest of
them. If the box was mailed at Hanska
it was never mailed by DR.. Koch.
Typewriter Claim Is Absurd
We will show that the typewriter
claim is absurd. That it is impossible to
show what Machine makes any par
ticular writing. We will show that
this machine was locked up, while there.
were four other typewriters in the
building. We will show that the hand
writing on the bottle is not the hand
writing of DR.. Koch. We insist That he
is not fool enough, if he was going to
send poison, to send it with sample Of
his handwriting. He would have been
more likely to send a bottle with "Phy-
sicians' Sample" printed across it. If
DR.. Koch was going to send bottle he
would send a new, clean one Dr.
Koch will go on the stand and deny
| that he wrote it,
We will show that Dr. Koch had the
pencil that had been given him and kept
it in his cabinet. DR.. Koch's blue box
was preserved and will be presented in
court, together with the identical pencil
that DR.. Koch had. We will show you
that DR.. Koch has mad every opportu-
nifty to abscond, but has conducted him
self in dignifed manner and as he
should.
| We will place Mr.. Brooks on the
stand early in the case and will show
by him that he went to his office after
the game at Hoidale & Somsen's office
and went to reading letter. That he
heard scuffling in DR.. Gebhard's office
as ne entered, thought nothing of it, as
Dr. Gerhard was strong physically and
often scuffled with his friends Later
Brooks heard sounds of things tipping
over, ran upstairs, tried the doors and
stood upon railing and looked over
into the room. Mr.. Brooks then saw
the lower half of man, lying on the
floor. He saw kneeling beside this body
the upper half of a man who was
kneeling beside the person lying and
who seemed to be operating on the man
who was lying. This kneeling party
turned and looked squarely at Brooks
Feeling that he was looking into some
body else's private operating room, he
jumped down. Up to then he did not
think that anything wrong was being
done, but as he went down stairs his
mind began to work and he feared that
something was wronp and askad Mr.
