them testified to seeing any image or
mark made by an old hammer on the
wall as seen by Mrs. Kasz. We will
prove that the very hammer that the
state now has, if not one very much
like it, it was seen in DR.. Gebhardt's
Office.
The state refuses to place DR.. Reineke
the most important witness in the
whole case on the stand, but instead of
this to suppress evidence. This man
above all others ought to be intro
duced by them. DR.. Reineke told per-
sons it was the Gebhardt's hammer
and there was no doubt about it. He
went before the coroner's jury not
twenty-four hours after the death of
his friend and swore that it was his
hammer, and now says that he never
saw it there.
This gentleman who represents the
great state of Minnesota who wants a
fair trial suppresses evidence that he
might convict DR.. George r. Koch of
murder in the first degree. Gen. Childs

New Ulm and willing at all times to

motive through him, we will show that
Detective Rydell took this man off of a
load OF hay and brought him into New
Ulm. When he arrived Gen. Childs
took him into the court house, asked
for the story and wrote it down. He
then handed the paper to Judge Web
Der to show what he would testify to.

up IN his story, and there were such
teachers as Childs, Pfaender, Prof.
klause, Retzlaff and others. They
then got another story from Ole en-.
tlrely different than the first. Gen.
Childs again objected to such state
ments in strong terms, but, being con.
fronted by the challenge and statement
that such proof would be forthcoming

dered Mr.. Abbott to proceed.
And upon that Ulen story the grea1
State OF Minnesota, through it's coun

Abbott said DR.. Koch has spent three
