FRIDAY, JANUARY 13. 1905 LAKE SHORES LOSE Virginia Hockey Team Wins by Decisive Score The Virginia hockey team defeated the Minneapolis Lake Shores by the decisive score of 9 to 2 on the Virginia rink last night. The visitors were outplayed at ev ery stage of the game, but made a plucky fight and played hard from whittle to whistle. Team work was very noticeable by its absence. Graham was the star of the evening, landing seven of the nine goals scored by the home team and did some very pretty defense work. The other two goals were scored by Crysler. Oehme, at point, played a rough game, which was very effective, as his weight enabled him to put his man over the b<jards at will. The referee, Jennison, took no notice of the rough work at first, but after Rooks' shoulder was dislocated by coming in sudden contact with the ice the referee ordered Oehme to take a three-minute rest and enjoy the* game from the side •lines.. Art Larkin did some pretty de fensive work and was mixed up in every scrimmage. Benowitz was the best player for the visitors. The first goal made by his team was scored by him in a very pretty shet from far down the rink, which caught Le Claire off his guard. The line up: Virginias. Positions. L. Shores. Far G Cross (Capt.)

Hodge AND STILL ANOTHER Alliterative Athletes Who Wres- tle Are Many CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—And still they come—these giant wrestlers. The Terrible Turk, the Horrible Greek, the Dynamite Dane and the Russian Lion —beware. ' Jess Pederson, the Human Derrick from Sweden, is on the way. This is the very latest of the gigantic specimens of grappling talent that seem to abound in Europe. Pederson was discovered by George Weedon while he and Young Corbett were in London together, and Weedon came home so impressed with the great Swede's prowess that Johnny Considine has nego tiated for Pederson to visit this country under Considine's management and meet all comers. Pederson is twenty-seven years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 215 pounds and has never been defeated. He has repeat edly challenged George Hackenschmidt for the Graeco-Roman wrestling champion ship of the world, but the Russian Lion has never consented to a match. Pederson has just completed a long en gagement in the London music halls, where he has a standing offer to meet all comers and forfeit $250 to anyone who could stay thirty minutes without being thrown. None have so far won Pederson's forfeit. Considine says that this same offer will be made by Pederson wjien he gets here, which will be within two weeks. No one will be barred and no notice will be re quired from prospective opponents, no matter what their reputations. The principal plan Considine has is to match Pederson against Egeberg or Frank Gotch, and he will back the Swede for any amount in a match with either of these two. Hackenschmidt is now in Australia on a tour of the world, and it is the intention of Considine to have Pederson meet and defeat the best in this country before Hack gets here, so that Pederson will be in line to meet the invincible Russian for the world's title when he finally gets here.

D. C, Jan. 12.—Post master General Wynne has issued an or der transferring the entire corps of post office inspectors from the jurisdiction of the fourth assistant postmaster general and placing them immediately under the postmaster general. The action is taken on the ground of subserving the best inter ests of the government and also is based on the fact that the inspectors of the other executive departments of the gov ernment are directly under the head of the department. The order is effective next Monday. Fourth Assistant Bristow, who is stren uously opposed to the transfer, made ef forts to avert it. The order was signed late yesterday and Mr. Bristow was noti fied by the postmaster general immedi ately. Cost of Irrigation Works WASHINGTON, D. G, Jan, 12.—The census bureau has issued a report on the condition of irrigation in the United States in 1904, showing that 33, --415 systems with 59,311 miles of main canals and ditches were irrigating 9,497.077 acres on 134,036 farms.

During the recess this afternoon she talked with Dr. Koch and his sis ter and during the conversation he looked more cheerful than at any time during the week. Miss Fitzpatrick's testimony was given in a low, but per fectly clear voice. She was not cross examined by the state. After ques tions as to the time she had resided in New Ulm, "her place of residence and her occupation, the defense asked: "What time in the evening of Nov. 1 dii you first see Dr. Koch?" The answer was: "About 7 o'clock." "Where?" "At the place where I board." "How was he dressed?" "He wore a brown derby hat and a black coat." "Had the date Nov. 1 any special sig nificance for you?" "Yes." "What?" "It was my birthday." "Did the defendant bring anything to you that night?" "Yes, sir." "What was it?" "A box." "What was in the box?" "Perfume." Her Drive With Dr. Koch The box, which had been brought into the court room that morning, was shown to the witness, who identified it as the birthday gift the defendant had brought to her the night of the murder. The witness was asked if there was anything unusual or peculiar in Dr. Koch's actions at that time and she an swered no. She related the incident of the drive, which Dr. Vogel's testimony had brought out, and it was substan tially the same as Dr. Vogel swore Dr. Koch had related to him the Monday before the murder. Two other young women, Misses Crone and Neuman, testified, their stories being substantially the same. It was that they had seen the defend ant the night of the murder near the State-bank shortly after 8 o'clock; that he spoke to them and then went on south. They testified specifically to the clothes he had on and also to the fact that they had seen him frequently aft erwards with the same clothes. They were not cross-examiued by the state. Strange Man With Handkerchief The first witness called by the de fense this afternoon was Anton Hor sak, a shoemaker. He was the only witness called today for the specific purpose of throwing- suspicion on an other man. All the others called were for the purpose of establishing Dr. Koch's alibi or of discrediting the state's witnesses. Mr. Horsak is a German and gave his evidence through an interpreter. It was that coming out of his shop shortly before a quarter past 9 hei had seen a man holding a handkerchief up to his face enter the doorway leading up to Dr. Gebhard's office. "I met the man," he said, "near the barber shop. He was middle-sized and well dressed. He passed on my right and I bade him good evening. Before we met he crossed the right side of his face with a white handkerchief and looked across the road. I watched him until he came to Gebhard's stairway. He went into Gebhard's door. He had on dark clothing. I do not remember whether he had on an overcoat or not. I know it was a minute or two before a quarter past 9. I got home at 9:15." The defense will argue that the mys terious man with the handkerchief committed the murder. County Attorney Is Called Einar Hoidale, county attorney, who, had it not been for the fact that he is a law partner of Henry Somsen, broth er-in-law of the defendant, would have prosecuted the case, was called to the stand for the purpose of fixing approx imately the time the defendant visited his office the night of the murder, also to testify to his general appearance and the clothes he wore. He said that it was 9:36 when the game of cards broke up in his (Hoidale's) office; that he had been playing- with Henry Som sen, Asa P. Brooks and Alfred Vogel; that the reason he was positive of the time was he had just returned from a speechmaking trip and was tired and anxious to get home. The defendant had sung some song-s with Dr. Vogel, who was also a visitor in the office. "Witness stated that when he arrived at his room he found that the clock had stopped during his absence from the city and he had taken out his watch to set it. It was then 9:45. "Mr. Hoidale, have you that same watch now?" asked Gen. Childs. "Yes," answered the witness. "What time is it. Mr. Hoidale?" "The watch has been set three or four times since then," began the at torney; but Mr. Abbott had already ob jected to the question and the ob jection was sustained and the question struck out. And Now Somsen Henry Somsen, brother-in-law of the defendant, testified that he had made an examination of Dr. Koch's clothes after the murder of Dr. Gebhard and that there were no stains on them and they showed no appearance of having been washed or cleaned. Asked by Mr. Abbott how the defendant stood it when the news that he was suspected was broken to him, he answered: "He stood It belter than I would if I had been in his place." Mr. Somsen also testified to the approximate time of the card game in Mr. Hoidale's office and to the natural appearance of the defendant when he came in. Theodore Schonlau testified to hav ing seen the defendant pass the drug store between 9 and 9:15 when the witness was standing in the drug store with Dr. Vogel. Joseph Keehler testified to having seen the defendant at 9:15 or there abouts. Dr. Vogel testified that he saw tha defendant shortly after supper in the waiting room used by Dr. Koch, and Dr. Strickler some time after supper gave him the box of perfume which he had purchased for him for Miss Fitz patrick. He was sure he saw the de fendant again about 8:15, and later in the office of Mr. Hoidale; saw him again at the corner of the State bank, talking to Miss Neumann and Miss Crone; did not see him again. At the conclusion of today's session of the court Judge Webber cautioned the jurors against reading any mail sent them by people they did not know. He said they should look at the signa ture and if they did not recognize it they should give the mail to him. He gave this advice after asking a juror to open a letter addressed to him in court. Tomorrow the defense will call other members of the Koch household in fur ther effort to prove Dr. Koch's alibi. Somerville's Address In his opening address for the defense Senator Somerville said: The state has presumed that the man who killed Dr. Gebhard mailed poison to him and on that bottle of poison wrote in his own handwriting the word "sam ple," as a sort of calling card. Why, that is preposterous. We will show you that Dr. Koch has in his office enough arsenic to kill fifty men. .Does it stand to rea son that he would steal strychnine from a brother doctor and send that bitterest of all poisons, when he could have taken the arsenic, a, sweet and pleasant tasting poison, but just as fatal? Then they pre sume to say that he climbed over the par tition into a room in the insurance office and used an old threshing machine of a typewriter to address that poison when in his own office there was a typewriter and in the office of his brother-in-law two more. They have identified the handwriting on the bottle of poison by a country editor who makes no pretensions to be a hand writing expert.

They have laid great stress upon the finding of a lead pencil near' the dead body. They said Dr. Koch received such a pencil a few minutes before the murder? We will admit that he received the pen cil, but we will produce it in court and prove to you that he had it all the. time. The identification of the hammer has been another point which they have ar gued against Dr. Koch. We propose to show you that the hammer in question be longed to Dr. Oftbhard. We will bring in a close personal friend of Dr. Gebhard's, who will swear that he had'- seen the hammer in Dr. Gebhard's office. Asa P. Brooks will swear that he borrowed the hammer of Dr. Gebhard ajid we will even show to you where he got the hammer. The ownership of the handkerchief bearing the initials of Dr. Koch will not be denied, but we will also show to you that there were many opportunities by which Dr. Koch's handkerchief could have been in the possession of another man. While we are not here to convict any one else of this crime, we will give you clews which, if the detectives and citizens' committee had been as diligent in follow ing as they have been in persecuting this innocent man, you would not be here to day trying Dr. Koch. Dr. Koch has been a victim of misfortune. The Sunday be fore the murder he injured his hand. The day following the homicide he spilled car bolic acid upon his fingers. The follow ing Friday he burned them with fire. These things we will prove to you. Even now he has a black eye received by falling in the jail. I suppose that if he had had this black eye the day after the murder, he would have been hung before this. He closed with a reference to the alibi the defense promised to estab lish. . Several witnesses were sworn- to im peach Edgar Dingier, who identified the hammer found in Dr. Gebhard's office, as one that belonged to Dr. Koch's father. Some of these witnesses said that Dingier had told them he was to receive a mon etary consideration for his testimony. Others swore that his reputation for truth and veracity was not good. The state, however, on cross-examination, scored by drawing out admissions from two of the impeaching witnesses that they had been convicted In court of misdemeanors.

WEREN'T CORRUPTED Legislators Were Merely Enter tained by Liquor Dealers ALBANY, N. V., Jan. 12.—The grand jury of New York county recently in vestigated charges that a corruption fund had been rai3ed by the New York State Liquor Dealers' association to in fluence excise legislation. Fritz Lind inger, president of the association, and other witnesses told of raising a fund of $23,000. Several witnesses testified that the special committee of the as sociation had spent several thousand dollars entertaining senators and as semblymen at a hotel in Albany. An other agent of the association told of paying the bills of assemblymen at ho tels and resorts and also large bills for typewriting. Chairman Plank, of the excise commission, and members of the excise committees in both houses are al leged to have been the principal ones who received attention. In his testimony Lindinger says that he loaned small sums to various mem bers of the legislature, while in pool rooms in Albany. "I staked them when they were short, if they asked me for fifty or twenty-five or ten," he said.

The only fact conclusively shown is that upward of $23,000 was raised and that some of the money was spent in the- entertainment of legislators. It is not alleged or shown that legisla tive or official action of any kind re sulted. Gov. Higgins exonerated the public officers referred to of any promises or official action influenced by the pres ence of the saloonkeepers' committee or the expenditure of money. He re ceives the presentment, he says, rather as calling attention to defects in the present law and says that the practice should be suppressed of raising funds for the alleged purpose of corrupting or imprpperly influencing public offi cials, or influencing legislation or ad ministration through the agency of ir responsible individuals or committees. Says "Black Hand" Ruled Him PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 12.—Toe lito Domento was held in bail today for a further hearing charged with robbing John Maturo of $25. Maturo was held up in his home by four men who demanded $100 from him under penalty of death. Maturo had only $25, which he gave the robbers. He recog nized Dsmento, who is his landlord, and caused his arrest. The prisoner broke down at the hearing and told the magistrate that he was in the hands of a gang of New York bandits and had aided in the holdup of Maturo at their instigation. Maturo says the men who robbed him are members of the "Black Hand" or Mafia society. 5.
