SEEK WITNESS IN sT|LLWELL
Count Brunswick Said to he Il Ma
terial Witness for the Defendant in
the Trial is Now Serving 10 Years in
Federal Prison at stillwell, MINI.

The trial of George Koscak, charged
with transporting dynamite to Keno
sha for the purpose of blowing up the
residence of J. I w. DeCou, one of the
superintendent of the plant of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, which was
to have been called before the jury in
the circuit court on Wednesday morning
has been indefinitely postponed and it
is probable that it will be several
months before the case reaches the cir
cult court. The indefinite postpone
ment of the case came as a result of the
application Of Norman Il. Baker, the
attorney for the defendant, who de-
clared to the court that one Of the
most material witnesses for the de-
PENDANT could not be produced in court
lat this time. District Attorney Drury
had arranged to proceed with the trial
of the case on Wednesday and he con
sented to the adjournment only with
understanding that the case be held
open until such time as it could be
taken up with Judge Belden on the
bench. With a long calendar of civil
cases to dispose of and with the term
of court for Racine county opening in
a few weeks it is improbable that the
case can be brought to trial before
Judge Belden until the first Of Janu.
AIRY. The application for an adjourn
ment of the case came as a complete
surprise.
The material witness who can not
come to Kenosha at this time is known
under the name of "Count Brunswick. =
At the present time he is serving ten
year sentence at the federal prison at
Stillwell, Mimi, but Attorney Baker
hopes to compel his presence for the
trial il. Kenosha. He has announced
that he will seek a habeaus corpus to
secure the release of the man from the
federal prison at least long enough for
him to come to Kenosha and give his
testimony in the case. 'sCount Bruins
wick is said to have formerly been
in Kenosha, but he is supposed to have
been Chicago man and it is said that
he is known under several names. He
was arrested several weeks ago on
charges of violating the Mann act and
was convicted in the federal court at
| Davenport, Iowa, and sentenced to the
term in the federal prison.
The attorneys for the defendant
have not made public just what testi-
mony it is expected to be given by
1Count Brunswick, = but he is said to
have been connected with the case in
some way
District Attorney Drury in speaking
of the case this morning, said, l am
fully conversant with the relations OF
Count Brunswick to this case and
have no objection to his being brought
from Stillwell if the government will
permit, to give his testimony. I am ad-
vised that the man was formerly a
Chicago man, but further than this and
the fact that he was convicted for a
violation Of the Mann act / do not care
to say anything. The only demand
| made in eonsenting to delay in the
case was that it be stipulated that it
be brought up before Judge Belden the
same as any other criminal case in the
circuit court. =
It has been intimated that Koscak
will seek to establish conspiracy as
his defense to the charges brought
against him. The conspiracy will be
based on the part that detectives have
taken in the efforts made to capture
the man.
