KOCH Continued from First Page. said that he had not taken more notice of the defendant than of many others in the room, but remembered distinctly how quickly Dr. Koch had turned away from his gaze. He could not tell what hat Dr. Koch wore nor could he tell anything about any of the other men he saw in the office that morning. Sister Baramer, an attendant the German Catholic hospital, repeated the testimony she gave at the first trial that Dr. Strickler's grip in which he carried the bottle of strychnine was open and accessible to her as his at tendant when the doctor was perform ing operations. She said she had taken five or six tablets from the bottle. J. P. Beid, secretary of,the Minne sota Mutual Fire Insurance company, which has offices across the hall from Di\ Koch's, testified that the typewriter in court was the typewriter which was in his office in October, 1904, but had a different roller and ribbon. He said, on cross-examination, that he had never known Dr. Koch to use the machine. Mrs. Kaess to Change Testimony. Mrs. Kaess, who cleaned Dr. Koch's offices, was in court this morning and will be recalled by the state this after noon. When Mrs. Kaess was on the stand Friday she failed to identify the blood stained hammer found in Dr. Geb hardt's office as the hammer she had seen and used at Dr. Koch's office. Counsel for the state asserted that Mrs. Kaess had positively identified that hammer previously," and that her failure on Friday was due to the fact that the exhibit label, which had been pasted upon it, had confused her. The recalling of Mrs. Kaess means that the state believes it will change her former testimony. Editorial Amenities. Asa P. Brooks spends much of his time in Mankato. In fact, he runs over almost every day. Editor Leisch of the other New Ulm paper, is also here today. All news tending to indicate that Dr. Koch is guilty gets into Mr. Leisch's paper, The Brown County Journal. Ali news tending to indicate that Dr. Koch is not guilty gets into Mr. Brooks' paper, The New Ulm Ee view. The two editors met in the lobby of the Saulpaugh this morning. There'was no sign of recognition. A few minutes later, in the barbershop, Dr. Vogelpohl said: "Brooks, you and yoiu friend, the other editor, don't sit 'in the same chair very often, do you!" "No," said Brooks. "We'll have to be introduced again." The schism in newspaperdom in New Ulm is representative of the schism that has divided the whole town. State's Course as to Brooks. It developed today that Brooks will be. handled with a good deal of legal finesse. Just what to do with the only man, save Gebhardt, who saw the mur derer, puzzled the state at the first trial, but it has now determined what course to pursue.: Brooks having said that the murderer was not Dr. Koch, the state could not well call him as a witness. But it wants him to testify, so the plan de cided upon is for the state to subpena Brooks, calbhim to the stand and then graciously tender him to the defense. It is likely, of course, that the de fense will want to get in Mr. Brooks' testimony, and when it does, the state will endeavor to prove that Brooks is not telling his story correctly. SHERWOOD. N.

By this time the starch in says, whensimilar,saw nnm that purpose is." The State's Explanation. It was said by one of the counsel for the state this morning that information had come'to him at the beginning of the trial that a local gunsmith was at work making a hammer that resembl ed the one which was said to have disap peared from the Koch home. The fact was known, it was said that this ham mer would be produced but no way was seen to head it off. It is pointed out that the production of the second hammer did not befuddle the Dahms boy, who had worked at the Koch place for six winters. He looked at both exhibits and without hesitation or qualification picked out the one that was found in the Gebhardt office as the one he had often used while working at Koch's.

I mains to be seen just what will be the You understand, of course, that malt final claim made for the Becond ham- sugar (maltose), in which Malta-Vita'mer, and its ultimate effect, is always so rich, is of wonderful food value, very strengthening and easily digested. It makes the digestion of the crisp flaked wheat an easy task, too, even for the weakest stomach. Malta-Vita is baked under such in tense heat that when it comes out of the ovens, its crisp brown flakes de licious beyond description, it contains only a little more than 1 per cent of moisture. Do you wonder now why it melts in your mouth? And here is another thought. Throughout the entire process of man ufacture Malta-Vita is practically un touched by human hands. Machinery clean, shining machineryconveys it through all the changes, even to the filling and sealing of the air-tight, mois ture-proof packages. Malta-Vita is the perfect food for old and young, weak and strong. For the rundown or overworked digestive organs it is a God-send. It makes red blood, refreshes the brain and the nerves, builds up bone and muscle. It is so satisfying and healthful that no home should be without it.

Answering all of the sharp questions of Mr. Abbott straightforwardly, Dr. Eeineke admitted that when he testified at the coroner's inquest that the bloody hammer was the property of Dr. Geb hardt, he had not told the truth. He was certain, yesterday, that he had never seen the instrument of death in the murdered man's office. He was interrupted when he started to give an explanation of his changed testimony, but after court adjourned he said that on the night of the murder, Brooks, while looking at the hammer with him, had remarked that he had seen one just like that in Dr. Gebhardt's office. 'The doctor said that he did not get any sleep that night and, com pletely exhausted when called before the jury next day, he remembered what Brooks had said and had made an un qualified statement that the hammer was Dr. Gebhardt's. He even recited, at that time, a cir cumstance of having seen Dr. Gebhardt saw off the handle of the hammer, this fixing it in his mind. He cogitated the subject and came to the conclusion that he "had made a bad mistake, having mixed the hammer with the circum stance of seeing Dr. Gebhardt saw off a broom handle. Mr. Abbott also made the witness say that he had heard that he (r. IteinekO had been suspected and that ne irad been requested to write out an alibi, which was investigated. Address on Poison Package., If the blue bottle sent to Dr. Geb hardt in the blue box contained poison, as has not yet been proved in the pres ent trial, there is no doubt that some one in New Ulm attempted the life of Dr. Gebhardt a week before he was killed, for, according to the testimony Of H.

Mr. Baird is manager of the St. Paul office of the Smith-Premier company. On the stand yesterday afternoon he de clared that typewriters have a certain individuality imparted to them by their alignment. This is usually indistiWct, but cannot escape the eye of an expert. General Childs asked Mr. Baird to write the name and address, "Dr. L. A. Gebhardt,. New Ulm, Minn.," on the typewriter which had been taken from the fire insurance office, and introduced as aW exhibit. He did so, and then compared it with the adress on the blue box. "In my opinion as a typewriter" ex- pert," he said, I should say the two addresses were .written on the same machine." By previous witnesses the state had shown that the office of the Minnesota Mutual Fire Insurance company is di rectly across the hall from Dr. Koch's offices and that the typewriter, in a desk frequently left unlocked, was ac cessible to the defendant. On the cross examination the defense drew out the fact that there were two other type writers in offices adjoining Dr. Kocn's and that the Smith-Premier, which the state had exhibited with its wide car riage adapted especially for insurance policies, was the most cumbersome and unwieldy. Baird on Stand Again. Baird was on the stand at the open ing this morning. On direct examina tion he said that he was able to dis tinguish between writing done by a novice and an expert, but not as to whether matter is written slowlji or rapidly. The label on the blue box received by Dr. Gebhardt, he said in dicates that it was written by Some one not familiar with the machine. Cross-examined bv Senator Somer ville, Mr. Baird said that there are about 300,000 Smith-Premier typewrit ers in nse, and about 290\000 having type similar to that of the machine in question. He estimated that -there "WlMj i& Nicollet Av... .First Av. S... .Fifth St. Minneapolis. cents 48-tocH Strictly All wool Panama voiles.
