New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-12-19

fore Mr.. Eckstein left New Ulm for his
court duties in Marshall, and doubt
less his absence was a cause for in
creasing the mental disturbance of
the Judge. Indeed, it is possible that
had Mr.. Eckstein been at home on the
Monday night when the judge was UNI
accountably absent from home till
midnight. the tragedy of the follow
ing morning might have been stayed.
At all events, there is an incident that
will cause no wonderment among the
believers in telepathic communication
between intimate friends and kindred
souls Contrary to his invariable
custom the Judge was absent from
home Monday evening in unknown
wandering till after midnight. On this
same night the mental condition of
Mr.. Eckstein was so disturbed that he
could not sleep, though, as usual,
comfortably quartered in his apart
ment at the Atlantic hotel. Eckstein
is sound sleeper, who retires early,
and his slumbers are peaceful and
continuous till morning. His restless
ness this night was unaccountable to
himself, for he was in excellent physi-
cal and mental condition, but sleep he
could not. BE listened to the pass
ing of the midnight trains, and was
sleepless till after the arrival and de-
parture of the four O'Clock morning
passenger train on the Northwestern
road. Was !. there telepathic com
munication between the two friends?
Judge Weber was a man of most
economic tendencies, severely just in
his dealings with his fellowmen, the
soul OF integrity and fair dealing.

no way obtruslve to others. 1t was a
force of habit from his boyhood and
early manhood struggle for liveli-
hood, a simple life demanding only
comfortable existence, without luxur-
les, and effort for gradual acummu-
lation of a competence for old age and
those he might leave behind. Always
within and beyond his professional
duties he was an intensely active and
industrious man, and it was only with
in the past few years that he permitted
himself to annually take a few days of
pleasure vacations. These we're usual

others families in Marshall there
were warm social relations, and the

the late judge would amount to from
seventy five to one hundred thousand
dollars. Mr.. Sullivan thinks these
figures too large, and that between
fifty and seventy-fve thousand dollars
is nearest correct. Much of the judges
means was invested in real estate
mortgages, and but recently he had
nearly forty thousand dollars so in
vested in Lyon county. That he was
constantly accommodating wealth is
evident from statement he recently
made to a friend in this city, that the
maintenance expense of himself and
family was met by one-third of the
interest received onN his investments.
