VERDICT OF MURDER
AGAINST AERBACH
Convicted of Killing His Partner, Harry
Fisher, a Chicago Business Man
and Promoter.

Baldwin, Mich, Dec. "a jury in the
circuit court yesterday declared O. Nj.
Aerbach guilty of first degree murder
for the shooting of his partner Harry
Fisher, a Chicago business man and pro-
moter Fisher was killed in the woods
near here last September while the two
men were on hunting trip. The case
was given to the jury Saturday even
ing and the verdict was announced at
$3.50 Sunday morning. Aerbach heard
the verdict in silence. Sentence will
be pronounced Monday. Aerbach's
counsel gave notice OF appeal to the
supreme court
The trial began last Monday, covering
only six days. All the evidence intro
there being no witnesses OF the shoot
ing. Fisher, his wife and children and
Aerbaeh came here late last summer.
On the morning of September 10,
taking with them only a high power
rifle, the two men went into the woods
to hunt partridges. A short time after
wards, Aerbach rushed into nearby
farmhouse and reported that Fisher had
been shot accidentally. The dead mans
body was carried to an undertaker's es-
tablshment, and, according to evidence
given at the trial. both Mrs. Fisher and
Aerbaeh endeavored to have it shipped
to Iowa without the formality of a
coroner's inquest. The inquest was held
however, and Aerbach was held response
BILE for the shooting
Aerbach's Story of Shooting
According to Aerbaeh's story, while
tbrot..h ha ha stnnnaB
to roll a cigarette, standing the rifle
dentally fell and was discharged, the |
bullet passing through Fishers body.
Evidence at the trial tended to dis
prove this contention, it being shown
the bullet passed through the body in
a direction different from that which
would be taken by missile fired by
rifle lying on the ground, 1t also was
that the weapon could not
be- discharged in the manner claimed
BY Aerbach.
Fishers life was insured for about
100000, the policies being made paya-
Die to his widow. 1t was the theory of
he prosecution that friendship be-
,ween Aerbaeh and Mrs. Fisher was the
motive for the murder.
Chicago, Dac S.-Harry w. Fisher was
promoter here, but had suffered bust
less reverses and so far as is known
ere the 240-acre frxt farm tract in
AXE county, Michigan, where he was
Tiled, was the last of his enterprises /
hat he was active in. At the time OF {
lis death comment was made that he !
arried $250000 life insurance in three
although at the time he was
hought to be in financial difficulties.
Of the companies, how
yer, declared that the policies were in
and that they would be paid

For the first time in its history. the
Board Of Trade has lost one of its presi-
dents by death.
'Tn conclusion, permit me to express
my gratitude for the active and hearty
cooperation of the various committees
during my brief administration.
For few moments l hope you will
indulge me in final suggestion in con-
nection with our campaign for the exc
cution Of the Macmillan park commits
sion's plans.
The object in view. of course, is to in
duce Congress to pass a measure now
pending authorizing appropriations aggre-
eating in the neighborhood of $S.OOOOOO.
under which. from year to year, the DIS
trict Commissioners may be enabled 10
purchase such lands as are appropriate
to purchase in view Of such years con-
dition of the District treasury. and which
may seem most eXpedient for other i'm
portant reasons.
with the passage OF such a measure
no point Of order could be raised against
any park item included in this scheme,
and. by the way, practically all hands pro-
posed are a part of the Macmillan
scheme.
Let me thank those of you who have
contributed so generously toward the
fund needed to make this interest nation
wide. At this time. l desire to suggest
for the consideration Of the Board OF
Trade the advisability of arranging an
exhibit of the park commissions plans
for the development of Washington at
the Pacific coast exhibitions in celebration
of the opening of the Panama canal
