TERRORISTS' FOE
RULES KOSCOW
Czar Appoints as Governor Gen
ii eral Man Who Helped Sup
I press Nihilists.
St. Petersburg, April 27.The post
pf governor-general of Moscow, which
"Was temporarily abolished Jan. 13, has
been re-established by imperial decree,
and General Kozloff, former chief of
the Moscow police, has been appointed
to the post.
The administrative control of the
police remains in the hands of General
Wolkoff, who was appointed prefect
In January, but the police will be under
the general supervision of the governor
general.
Kozloff's appointment as governor
general of Moscow upon the eve of
the expected troubles at Easter and on
May Day, altho accompanied by a re
script in which Emperor Nicholas
speaks of the "great interior reforms"
contemplated by him, leaves no doubt
of his purpose first to restore tranquil
itywith a firm hand.
Kozloff distinguished himself during
the Nihilist conspiracies twenty-five
ears ago by hunting down conspira
tors. This resulted in an attempt upon
his life. The public generally inter
prets his summons from retirement at
the age of 68 as an indication that the
harsh measures of repression then
sanctioned are to be revived.
The government, however, takes the
position that the execution of the re
forms is impossible until the present
agitation ana excitement are quieted.
With General Trepoff in St. Petersburg
and Kozloff in Moscow it is considered
that public safety in the two capitals
Is assured. The liberals consider the
appointment another reactionary step.
A prominent liberal said:
'We expected the proclamation of
general amnesty for political prison
ers as an Easter gift, xnstead the em
peror gives us Kozloff."
Fear Popular Outbreak.
Consternation has been caused by the
publication in this morning's papers
of rentewed rumors of an impending
popular outbreak, which, it is feared,
the slightest incident, accidental or
malevolent, among the vast congrega
tions that will attend the churches on
Saturday night may cause.
The mayor is being urged to conveli'e
the municipal council, and take special
measures to cope with the situation,
and it is expected that the prefect of
police will issue a reassuring proclama
tion. The excitement, however, is so
great tha it would have little effect.
The exodus at Easter will be unpre
cedented. All the accommodation^ at
the neighboring resorts have already
been engaged, while reports from the
provinces indicate similar fears.
There is a somewhat widespread im
pression that the police are inciting the
masses against the intellectual classes.
Governor General Trepoff declares
emphatically that there is absolutely
no occasion for a panic.
Kozloff a Veteran.
Kozloff's entire career has been spent
in the police or gendarmerie, beginning
as assistant chief of police at Riga in
1861, and later, in the exciting nihil
istic days, alternating as chief of police
of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Kozloff's service as chief of police of
St. Petersburg covered the period fol
lowing the assassination of Alexander
II. in 1881, after Alexander III. had
thrown over General Loris Melikoff,
the famous soldier and statesman who
was minister of the interior, and other
liberal advisers of his father and had
surrendered to M. Pobiedonostseff, the
procurator general, and the reactionary
party. He retired after crushing the
nihilistic conspiracies.
He was the head of the celebrated
committee of public safety of twen
ty-five persons, his name appearing
on all orders. Kozloff means goat, and
the public sarcastically denominated
his proclamations "Orders of Kozloff
and his twenty-five goats."
Nevertheless, Kozloff succeeded in
what he was set to do,earning the great
est praise from his imperial master, who
heaped decorations upon him, including
the Alexander Nevski order never previ
ously given to a chief of police.

______________
Cut Cable to Hainan, Chinese Ter
ritory, to Hide Rojest
vensky's Operations.
New York Sun Special Service.
London, April 27.The Daily Mail
this morning prints a dispatch from its
Hongkong correspondent stating that
the cable to the island of Hainan has
been cut by Bussian agents.
While this has been done, presumably
to conceal the movements of Bo
jestvensky's squadron, it also gives a
distinct clue to the plans of the Bussian
commander.
The island of Hainan lies across the
entrance to the gulf of Tonquin and is
about six hundred and fifty miles south
east of the Pescadore islands, which are
generally accepted to be the rendezvous
of Togo's battleship squadron, the
cruiser division of his fleet being un
derstood to be guarding the Bashee
channel, which is the exit from the
China sea between Formosa and the
island of Luzon.
England Showed Her Intentions.
The Tokio correspondent of the Tele
graph says that, during the latter stage
of the recent neutrality crisis, Great
Britain .intimated her intention of sup
porting Japan. The British warships
left Hongkong on April 19 at full speed
for Kamranh bay.
.The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Telegraph reports that the difficul
ties between France and Japan oc
casioned by Bonestvensky's stay at
Kamranh bay are not yet settled. He
adds that serious complications seem
likely to mark the closing phase of the
campaign.
Hainan is Chinese territory and con
stitutes a province of Kwan-tung. The
population is 2,500,000.
FLEET STILL NEAR KAMRANH
Rojestvensky Believed to Be Waiting
for Nebogatoff.
Kamranh Bay, via Saigon, Cochin
China, April 27.The only ships re
maining in Kamranh bay are four Ger
man transports. All the rest of the
transports and the Bussian hospital
ship Orel and other vessels left beHind
by Admiral Ro-jestvensky left the bay
yesterday morning. This fleet is now
assembled outside the bay and forms an
extended line stretching from Cape
Varela to the head of the Kamranh
peninsula. Torpedo boats are scouting
in all directions. The ships seem to be
awaiting Vice Admiral Nebogatoff's di
vision.
The French cruiser Descartes, having
on board Admiral de Jonquieres, the
French commander in these waters, re
turned to Nha Trang, near Kamranh
bay, after steaming round the Bussian
squadron, and subsequently returned to
Saigon.
The two freight-laden steamers cap
tured by Admiral Bojestvensky, were
under the German flag. It is presumed
that they are suspected of having con
traband of war on board.
SCHWAB LANDS CONTRACT
Will Built Big Ships of New Type for
Russia.
St. Petersburg, April 27.American
superiority over foreign rivals again
triumphs the complete success which
has crowned the visit of Charles M.
Schwab to St. Petersburg.
Mr. Schwab^s negotiations with the
Russian admiralty have resulted in the
practical conclusion of an arrangement
for the construction of a number of
a formidable line of battleships of a
type which probably will startle the
world. They will be mostly 16,000-ton
vessels of enormous horsepower and of
a peculiar type, combining the projec
tile-resisting power of the battleship
with the speed and wide radius of ac
tion of cruisers. They will be deliv
ered fully equipped as to armor and
ordnance.
The remarkable advance in naval ar
chitecture and construction which these
American-built ships will mark is a
well-guarded secret, but it is believed
it will involve the use of nickel steel
of greater tensile strength, which in
machinery, boilers, frames, etc., will
give greater power with decreased
weight.
Mr. Schwab guarantees to create
vessels with 20 per cent higher effi
ciency than any now existing.
Nebogatoff Not Due Yet.
St. Petersburg, April 27.According
to the calculations of the naval staff,
Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, who left Ji
butil, French Somaliland, March 25, if
he has been making 200 knots a day,
should reach Singapore tomorrow, and
could not unite hxs division with Vice
Admiral Ro.iestvensky's until May 5.
The general opinion is that their junc
ture is assured on the theory that Ad
miral Togo would not dare to risk sail
ing south to meet Nebogatoff, since by
so doing he would leave the way to
Vladivostok open to Bojestvensky-

Man-Afraid-of-the-Dark.
Joseph Weisenborn, who admitted at
the first trial that he was "afraid of
the dark," declared today in an injured
tone that he was a greatly misunder
stood man. He admitted time and
again under cross-examination that he
was not "scared" that night when he
went into the office. When asked if it
were not true that he had testified at the
first trial that he was "afraid of the
dark," he said "Oh, I said that just
in fun." The courtroom laughed up
roariously.
But Senator Somerville was persistent
in his questioning as to the polieerdati 's
state of mind while he was prowling
about the offices looking for the murder
er, and he inveigled the witness into a
mumbled confession that "maybe he
was just a little scared."
The laughter that followed turned bis
red face redder still, and he insisted on
explaining that it was a mistake, and
that he was not scared.
Policeman Weisenborn declared posi
tively that he did not hear or see any
live man in the offices when he went in
ahead of Behnke and Nenno, and that
he had given no explanation or made
any suggestions that could have been in
terpreted as an indication that the mur
derer was still there. This gives rise to
the question, "Why did the brawny
Nenno take flight?"
General Bobleter a Witness.
Brigadier General Joseph. Bobleter
of the Minnesota National Guard came-'
over from New TJlm this morning' and
was called by the state. The important
feature of his testimony related to the
pencil found near the dead man's side.
On the first day of the trial former
Coroner Fritche testified that the
pencil lay only about three inches
from Dr. Gebhardt's vest pocket,
northerly from the body, and that it
had the appearance of having just
fallen out of that pocket. He also said
that the comb and fountain pen and
some small papers were protruding from
the pocket in the same direction.
Frank Behnke, who broke open the
door, testified yesterday that the body
was so smeared with blood that an iden
tification at first glance was impossible,
and that Chief of Police Klause had
remarked that it looked something like
Ed Bobleter. ''General Bobleter had
gone upstairs with the crowd ana was
standing at the door. He heard the
s-emark and hastened to the body to
make an inspection.
Feared I Was His Son.
Closer scrutiny failed to make the
identification positive, and the general,
leaning over in excitement and fear
that it was his own son, pulled the pa
pers from the upper vest pocket to see
if they bore any marks. The first glance
at them assured them that they were
Dr. Gebhardt's, and that therefore the
body was that of the dentist. So he
immediately put the papers back.
The important feature of General
Bobleter's testimony was the evident
indication that this was responsible for
the looseness with which the contents
were found by former Coroner
Fritsche, who arrived subsequent to
that inspection. The general's, testi
mony also showed that the pencil was
lying in the blood and on the south side
of the body before the papers were
drawn from the pocket.
Vivid Picture Thru Nenno
When Frank Nenno went on the stand
this morning in the Koch trial, the lis
teners in -the courtroom were given a
vivid picture of the terror which the
sight of the mutilated body of Dr. Geb
hardt created in the hearts of those
who first beheld it.
Mr. Nenno is a heavy-set man of 35,
above medium height, dark complex
iened, has black hair and a double chin.
He ran up the stairs when Cavanaugh
told him in Englebert's saloon that he
"believed somebody was being slaught
ered over in' Dr. Gebhardt's office."
But when Mr. Behnke had broken
into the room, and he and Policeman
Weisenborn and Nenno entered, the po
liceman peeked into the laboratory and
left with a muttered imprecation which
Nenno took to mean that he b.ad seen1
a live man in the room.
"What did you dot" asked Senator
Somerville on cross-examination.
All Were Scared.,.
I ducked," said the big man. Elu
cidating, he said he and Behnke had
backed out into the hall because Wei
senborn, who had a revolver in his
hand, while they were unarmed, "had
scared" them. Behnke then went to
police headquarters to &et a darklan
tern and Nenno ran down stairs. There
was a crowd of ten or fifteen men .lust
entering the stairway.
"What did you say to them?" asked
Senator Somerville. Mr. Nenno re
plied:
I told them they'd get shot if they
went up there."
"You were badly excited, weren't
you?"
"No."
"Why did you duck?"
"Well, I didn't want to be in the
way if there was going to be any shoot
ing going on'."
"But you weren't afraid
"No: not after I got out into the
hall he declared stoutly.
More Evidence as to Time
Regarding the time, a point which,is
all-important, Nenno said it was, 9^38
or 9:40 when CavaWaugh summoned
him from the saloon. He said he had
heard Conductor Richardson say it was
9:34.
"Did you have a drink after that?"
asked Senator Somerville.
"That's my business," retorted the
witness. Judge Cray rapped'sharply
and directed the witness to answer the
question.
I had just oifle," was the conces
sion. That didn't take long, and then
the' witness had watched a same of
smear for a minute or two before Cav
anaugh entered. Remembering what
Conductbr Richardson had told him a'tfd
what he had done after that, Nenno
figured that it was 9:40 when he
started across to the office of Dr. Geb
hardt.

about as deep as the skin. Asked by
General Childs whether there were any

said there was a scratch on the palm
of the hand, about two inches long.
The other part of Chief Klause 's tes
timony, that which he gave fiTst, .re-
lated to his observations in the office
of Dr. Gebhardt on the niglt of the
murder. His experience as chief of
police had prompted him to take care
ful note of the condition in the offce and
he gave a more minute description than
any other witness had given.
One feature of his testimony, to
which the state attaches importance, re
lates to the position of the pencil with
reference to the body. He said that the
pencil was about a "foot from the head
and about a foot and a quarter from
the shoulder. His testimony on this
point is taken bv the state as another
contradiction of Coroner Fritsche's
statement that the pencil lay only about
three inches from the vest pocket,
which seemed to warrant the inference
that it had fallen out.

BEHNKE THE HERO
Murderer Might Have Been Caught but
for the General Terror.
Special to The Journal.
Mankato, Minn., April 27.The
murderer of Dr. Gebhardt would
have been caught red-handed, or some
one else would have been killed that
night had it not been for the epidemic
of timidity. There were Brooks and
Cavanaugh chasing for help there was
Lumberman Vogel standing at the foot
of-the Btairs suggesting to Brooks "the
propriety of getting some more people,''
as Attorney Abbott expressed it in a
question there was Night Policeman
Weisenborn exclaiming "Oh, mercy
and kicking at the door, and even after
Groceryman Behnke had pounded down
the door and he and the policeman had
been for several minutes inside the
offices where the murdered man lay,
there was Frank Nemo standing at the
entrance to the stairway staying the
excited crowd from rushing up by his
shuddersome question: "Do all you
fellows want to get shot?"
But Mr. Behnke rushed in. He
pushed his' way thru the crowd on the
sidewalk and ran upstairs, "sassing"
the policeman on the landing. He was,
indeed, the hero of the occasion, and
it is likely that he would have rushed in
and tackled the man had he not
thought, as he testified yesterday, that
the murderer was in a trap in the recep
tion room, with every exit, save the one
by the door where he stood, cut off. But
Mr. Behnke didn't know about a door
that had recently been cut connecting
the reception room with Dr. Reineke's
office. I was thru that door and
thru the window leading therefrom that
the assassin escaped, presumably even
while the citizens were mobilizing their
forcejs in the adjoining room.
All these facts were testified to at
yesterday's session, and were elucidated
by witnesses examined today.
Who Locked the Doors?
When .Policeman Weisenborn reached
the top of the stairs he immediately tried
the doors. So MrJBelinke, who accom
panied him, testified. All three doors
leading into the connecting offices were
locked. The question is who locked
them? They were not locked when
young Hagerle/weirt in earlier that
evening. The typesetters in the print

The'.question a-lio arises a to why
the murderer remained so long the
offifees after he had killed D*. Geb
hard tr The testimony of Joseph Polta
and the girls who accompanied him,
that the groaning continued for sev
eral minutes, suggests the possibility
that Dr. Gebhardrwas tortured before
he was killed, but the physicians' state
ments as to the wounds indicate that
death must have been instantaneous
after the wounds were inflicted. The
ruffled rug, blood-bespattered map and
book, and the general disorder of the
room prove that Dr. Gebhardt fought
hard for his life.,
Murderet^as Leisurely.
These events can be comprehended,
but it is not so easy to imagine how
the murderer occupied himself from the
time of the death of his victim until
Mr. Behnke broke in the doorfor Mr.
Behnke testified yesterday afternoon
that he was certain there was a live
man' in the offices the moment before
he forced an entrance, and that he be
lieved the murderer was in the recep
tion room even after he and the po
liceman stepped into the operating
room.
The open, debatable questions as to
the murder are many, and there is food
a plenty for the wildest conjectures.
Counsel for both the state and the de
fense confess^ there are dozens of
things connected with the case that
they canntot understand, and say they
fear they never will understand them
unless Dr. Koch is proved guilty.
Even then it would take a full confes
sion' to unlock several of the mysteries
which the Gebhardt murder has
created.,
What Is '"Circumstantial"?
The state has said that it has a
"stro ng circumstantial case against Dr.
Koch.'" The defense denies this. It
denies not only the adjective, but the
entire phrase.
"What are the 'circumstances'the
main circumstances'which the state
has against Koch?" asked Senator
Somerville in conversation today.
"The re is the hammer they say it is
Koch's hammer, taken from his home
to his office and from his office to Dr.
Gebhardt's by the defendant who, all
the time, had murder in his heart. We
deny that the Kochs or Dr. Koch ever
had that hammer.
"There is the handkerchiefthe
bloodstained handkerchief with the
'G-B-K' on it. We deny that George
R. Koch ever owned or ha that hand
kerchief.
"There is the pencil with the lum
berman's advertisement on it, which
the state claims dropped from Koch's
Socket
when he murdered Gebhardt.
course Dr. Koch had a pencil like
that one, but there were many of the
same description given out, and we as
sert that Dr. Koch had in his office the
one given him on the morning after
the murder.
"There are many* other things'cir
cumstances'which the state says
point to Koch as the murderer, all
making a 'strong circumstantial case'
but it cannot be a circumstantial case
when every circumstance is denied by
the defendant."
Squaring" Brooks.
The defense is gradually paving the
way for the testimony of Asa P.
Brooks. The line of cross-examination
by Messrs. Somerville and Abbott in
dicates plainly their determination to
elicit, even from the state's witnesses,
statements which will have bearing on
what the only man who had a good
look at the murderer will have to say
when he is placed on the stand.
Witnesses yesterday were led to de
clare that Brooks did not loiter in his
movements after he ascertained that
there was something "that seemed to
be a murder" was going on in Dr.
Gebhardt's office. Counsel for the de
tense were careful to get into the rec
ords, in sinuous ways, declarations by
one witness and another that Brooks
"hurried," or "went in a straight
line," or "out across the street," when
he went for assistance, and that he de
clared to all of them that there was
something wrong upstairs.
Another fact brought out was that
the room in which the murder was
committed was brilliantly lighted.
From this the defense will argue the
plausibility of Brooks' identification
or, rather, his failure to identify the
live man he saw in the room as Dr.
Koch.
As to the Murderer's Hat.
The state is expected to use a part
of William F. Cavanaugh's testimony
of yesterday to aid them in the im
peachment of Brooks. Cavanaugh de
clared that when, in response to
Brooks' suggestion that he "get up
and look for himself," he saw the live
man in the room, or at least his head
and shoulders from the rear, as the
man was crossing the room close to the
door. This man, he declared, did not
have on a hat. Brooks' testimony at
the first trial was said to be contra
dictory as to the hat.
Senator Somerville declares, how
ever, that the testimony of the two
men was not contradictory. He says
that what Brooks really testified was
that the murderer either wore a black
slouch hat, pulled down over the back
of his head, or had a heavy shock of
dark hair." Any suggestion, therefore,
of impeaching Brooks by the aid of
this was as ridiculous, the senator said,
as any suggestion of impeaching him
on any other score.
STREETCAR ROW
MAY MEAN NOOSE
Continued from First Page.
Freddie King, for whose murder Kal
derwit is now on trial, was the fea
ture of the afternoon session yesterday.
Tho but 10 years old, the boy gave his
damaging testimony without hesitation
or embarrassment and withstood most
of the clever and bewildering cross
examination of Attorney McGhee.
When the boy stood up in the wit
ness stand and, pointing his slim little
hand at Kalderwit, said, "That is the
man I saw. He had^he marjc on his
hand," the spectators were almost
ready to break into applause. The
room was deathly silent as he gave his
testimony in a clear, childlike voice.
In all but one particular the boy's
story was dramatically clear and al
most photographically accurate in
every detail. On the cross-examination,
however, he told of two marks on Kal
derwit's hand, whereas there is but
one tattoo mark, a blue star. He de
scribed the circumstances of the hold
up at the saloon, and explained how
Kalderwit held his revolver so that
the mark was visible. He remembered
identifying Kalderwit at the police
station, and even told how the prisoner
kept his right hand covered at the
preliminary hearing.
With childish skill he drew with pen
and ink a similar mark on McGhee's
hand, at the same time naively exclaim
ing, "The ink doesn't show very well."
His testimony, tho strong, was weak
ened by the mention of a second mark.
At the preliminary hearing, and at all
other times, he has told of but one.
McGhee Dons Exhibit B.
Michael* Krisko, the father of the
boy witness, was the first on the stand.
He was taken for cross-examination by
McGhee, who endeavored to confuse
the witness and question his accuracy.
Krisko was of the impression that two
men wore caps and one a hat. In or
der to get an exact statement, McGhee
had the witness dress him in the cloth
ing offered as exhibits. The court officer
was obliged to rap vigorously for or
der when the attorney, in a duck coat,
a red handkerchief over his face and
a rakish Scotch cap perched on his
head, turned and faced the jury. It
is not thought that the older' Krisko's
story was specially convincing.
Detective Edward Helin was put thru
a rigid examination in regard to his
knowledge of firearms and the action
of projectiles. Helin testified that he
went to Columbia Heights on the night
of the murder and found the clothing
which the three are supposed to havt
worn for the -job and later discarded/
He identified the clothing on exhibition.
also told of the bulletholes in the
saloon and gave an opinion in regard to
the caliber of the guns from which they
were fired, as well as the direction from
which they were fired.
Helin Wanted by Defense.
On cross-examination McGhee created,
some amusement bv asking the witness
at what age he began the study of bul
lets and bulletholes. He also asked un
der whom and what system, of "bullet
ology" the witness had studied. He in
quired minutely as to the detective's
skill, the nature of the targets he used,
and similar matters. His purpose was
to show, if possible, that the witness
did not thoroly understand the possi
bilities of deflected bullets. McGhee
treated Helin and the counsel for the
state to a surprise by stating that Helin
would be wanted later as a witness for
the defense.
The next witness was the little Kris
ko boy. He was followed by George
Morey, a student in the East Side high
school, whose testimony was introduced
to lead up to that of L. E. Stetler. He
testified that he rode on the stub line
on the same trip when t is supposed
the-three went out for their bloody
evening's work. He stated that Man
ley, the street car conductor who was
later killed, was on the car at the time.
Altho he made no attempt to identify
the "trio" he stated that he remem
bered seeing three men sitting together
in' one end of the car.
Dead Man's Testimony Discussed.
Ii. E. Stetler, the special court re-
S[anley's#
orter from Minneapolis who took
testimony at the preliminary
examination, then took the stand and
stated that the transcript of the evi
dence on file was a true and accurate
copy of Manley's previous testimony.
Some objection was raised by the de
fense.
Manley positively identified the three
*-prisoners in the preliminary hearing.
He was to have been a star witness for
