NEW CLUE IN THE
GEBHARDT MURDER
| STRANGE MAN WAS IN OFFICE OF
THE DENTIST.
New Ulm Girl Saw Him There Just Be-
fore the Murder and Told Her Mother
Of His Peculiar Conduct-Silent All
the Time Because Directed by Her
Parent to Say Nothing.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. ~"
New Ulm. Mimi, Sept. S.-Since the close Of
the Koch trial, about year ago, those who
have been interested In following the circum
stances connected with the murder Of Dr..
L. a. Gebhardt and prosecuting search for
the criminal have come upon an important piece
OF evidence which, If the persons concerned can
be induced to talk, may lead to something con-
clusively proving the integrity Of DR.. koch's
alibi
In the fall of 1904 there was a girl attend
Ing school in this city from Of the farms
not far distant, and within the past month she
has made statements to the effect that she was
in the dental office of DR.. Gebhardt after .
o'clock on the evening he was murdered, for
the purpose OF seeing him about some work she
was having done, to have done, and
that all the time she was in the office there
was young fellow there who wore soft hat
and had light. boyish mustache and in all
particulars answered the description of the mur-
derer 49,
Ordered Not to Tell. ~
The girl says she attracted by his Pc
culiar conduct and remarked about it to her
mother when she returned home that evening
The following day when the news Of the crime
came to them the mother ordered her daughter
to keep still, which she continued to do until
IN recent burst of confidence with one of her
schoolmates, who was also enJoined to secrecy
part Of the story came out. During the recital
OF 1t the mother came upon the girls and
stopped 1t all, making both promise to keep
qulet. 1hlS secrecy appears to come about by
reason of the family having been recently in
volved In court in which there was
much bitter feeling. and they have evidently
made up their minds that being witnesses is
not the most pleasant thing in the world.
The initiated Handkerchief.
AS the surname of the family commences with
* 1t Is thought that the girl dropped
handkerchief bearing the marks that were found
on the one in the dental parlor. The matter has
not been thoroly investigated but as fast as
1t Is possible to get information it is being
done.
Among the anonymous letters that came to diff
ferent persons during the progress of the trials
was one from woman, who said that she had
been In the dental office that evening and had
left handkerchief there with the fatal In
itials upon It, Some are inclined to believe
that there might be some truth in this state
ment In the light Of the recent story Of the
girl. But persuasion has failed to get any fur
ther testimony from the girl up to this time.
Her people are ignorant and suspicious and
wary of having anything to do with courts,
and there is little hope except the story
comes out a little at time, of getting at the
true facts.

MORGAN LOYAL
Will Support the Whole Republican,
Ticket-No Thought of Bolt
ing.

For few days after the Coeur
d'Alene convention the Dubois
press bureau was kept pretty busy
manufacturing and sending out.
stories of alleged dissatisfaction
among the Republicans of North
Idaho. One of the more persistent
of these tales was that Judge
Ralph Morgan, who was defeated
for denomination by Robert N.
Dunn, would bolt the Republican
ticket and that he was plotting
with Dubois to- bring about Repub-
hcan defeat in that section. The
absurdity of all these stories and
their entire falsness- has already
been shown, but now comes Judge
Morgan himself and sets at rest all
rumors that he is anything but
loyal Republican. He is not only
supporting the whole Republican
ticket, but he is also out support
ing Mr.. Dunn Loyalty. A Wallace
special to the Spokane Review
says:
Wallace, Idaho, August IL
Judge Ralph 7 Morgan will sup
port Robert N. Dunn for district
judge" said Attorney A. Crane of
who was in town yester-
day. SIN fact Judge Morgan has
authorized me to tell Mr.. Dunn
that he will not be an independei +
but will support the
nominee. Some of our
people in Kootenai county feel
pretty mad at the action of the
Coeur d'Alene convention and
may refuse to vote the ticket, but
there is nothing to that talk of an
ticket OF OF our fusing
with the Democrats. My inter
view with Senator Dubois in 81 o.
kane had nothing to do with Il 9
political situation. / was col suit
ing him on business relating TO the
opening OF Occur d'Alene reserya-

Mallara's Minstrels.

1t is hardly necessary to intro
duce the famous Mahara Brothers
to the theater going public as they
have always been high in their es-
innate as first class purveyors of
minstrelsy and rag time opera for
the past 16 years. This year with
a new palace car, twenty-five col
ored artists, magnificent compile
ment of scenery and costumes,
striking electrical effects and a com
bination of speciality artists, dane.
ere, eccentric comedians, novelty
artists and sweet voiced singers,
Mahara Brothers seem to be able
to substantiate their claim that
they have reached the acme of
minstrelsy. Mahara's minstrels
will hold forth in the opera house
next Tuesday evening, August %,
giving their splendid street parade
at noon.

AN OLD TIMER CONE
Samuel J. Moody Passes away at the
Age of SO Years.

Samuel ]. Moody, probably one
of the best known of the grand old
men" of southern Idaho, passed
away at the McFall House last
Wednesday at noon the immediate
cause of his death being heart fail
ure.
Although SO years old Mr..
Moody was man OF wonderful
physique and mind, and although
he had been i'll for the past three
months prior to his death, still he
was always in full possession of his
mental faculties. He was born in
Scotland and in 1S48 he moved to
the coast where he remained until
1861 when he came to Idaho, where
he has since made his home. Dur
ing his time he has been iengaged
in several callings of this life and
in everyone he has made a success,
While fortune favored him in help
ing him amass the riches of this
world still when he had them
amassed misfortune seemed to fa-
vor him quite as readily with the
result that he had been the possess
sor of several fortunes during his
SO years and at the end died prac-
tically poor man.
The last few years of his life Mr..
Moody has made his home at the
McFall House, and during his re-
cline Mr.. and Mrs. McFall have
done everything in their power for
his comfort.
While Mr.. Moody has been i'll
for several months past still at
times he was strong enough to be
out and walking around, and last
Tuesday morning as ne was feeling
exceptionally well he got tup, dress
ed and was sitting in the hotel, ap-
parantly in fair health, when his
head was noticed to drop on his
chest and when assistance reached
him he was dead. The last few
lays he seemed to be very cheerful
md full OF hope and, to use his
OWN words ''he had never harmed
nan, woman, or child, and was
'eady to die"
The funeral services were held
rom the MeFall House Wednes-
lay morning, Rev. Edward Pratt
'fficiating, and they were attended
~ a large majority OF some of the
ldest citizens in town.

Would Bear Investigation.

One of our readers called our at
tention this week to the fact thai
sheep pelts and COW hides are al
lowed to remain for hours at q
time on the depot platform and
that the stencil that arises from
them, especially during warm
weather, is almost unbearable
When passenger trains draw up tc
the station, he continued, they
have to close the windows to keep
out the odor, and when slight
breeze is evident you can detect
the odor at least block away.
AS soon as the matter was
brought to our attention we inter-
viewed the depot agent, L. E. Bal
bert, to learn what steps could be
taken in the matter in order that
this nuisance might be obliterated
Mr.. Halbert stated that he had
been approached on the subject be-
fore but that it was not in his pow
er to remedy the matter. His or
ders from the railroad company
are to the effect that he shall re-
ceive all these shipments and keep
the same until car is provided
for their removal. The company
does not provide a place in which
these shipments can be stored un-
til such time as they can be ship
ped and as the company is respon-
sible for them from the time they
are received the agent is required
to protect them and in SO doing
has to keep them on the platform.
Ii the village will pass an ordi-
nance requiring the hides and
pslts to be loaded in a given time
from the time they are received
for shipment, said Mr.. Halbert, /
will take the matter up with the
company and also notify shippers
to notify me several hours previ-
ons to the time they want TO ship
their hides and pelts in order that
may have car i'll readiness.
When asked if it would not be
to take the matter up
with the company and propose to
them to build small warehouse
in which to store the hides and
oelts until such time when a car
Gould be provided, Mr.. Halbert
aid that as the shipments were so
mall and were only received
bout once a month he did not
hink that the company would
.eem it advisable to erect ware
louse solely for that purpose.
