TESTIMONY IN KOCH CASE EXTREMELY INTERESTING [Continued from First Page.] had been there and Oscar took nourishment times. The doctor had administered antitoxin to him and also to Oscar, rested easier. . Mr. Sullivan went on to tell of his staying at the Johnson home Sunday night and Oscar’s condition up to the time of his death. He had never heard any member of the family ask if it were diphtheria nor speak of antitoxin during the two nights. The witness told of Mrs. Johnson’s expression of gratitude for his and the doctor’s services, and also that Alfred had said that every- thing possible had been done. Later, he had gone to the John- son home and asked them if they were aware that Alfred was making strong “statements around town in regard to Dr. Koch and threatening to take his life. ~They had not several who been aware of it and sent for Alfred. When Alfred had come he denied making the statements and Mrs. Johnson had begged him not to say such things. In cross examination Senator Peterson and the witness went over a long description of the living rooms of the Johnson home. - Senator Peterson asked the wit- ness if he had not said to Delia in the latter part of March that antitoxin cost $4.50 per 1,000 units and that itis administered only as a last resort, arid Mr. Sullivan replied, “No, sir. ‘I don’t know what it costs today.” Senator Peterson—"In the Boyle residence did you not say to Delia that a jury of twelye men would laugh at her story and her witnesses would go back on her and that you, yourself, would refuse to testify in her behalf-—that you would swear to a white lie to save a friend.” Mr. Sullivan—"No, sir. I never said* that I would swear to any- thing of the kind, but if you want me we hadat that time, Senator Peterson—''Never mind. Didn’t you say to Delia and her mother that if they instituted pro- ceedings against Dr. Koch that you would stop going to their home?” Mr. Sullivan—"They had called: Dr. Koch a murderer several times and I said that if they did not stop speaking of him in thqse terms I wouldn’t stand it and would quit going to their house.” Mr. McDonald (in re-direct ex- amination) — “What was actually said at the time to which you re- ferred and which the senator said to never ‘mind?” Mr. Suliivan—"I had gone into the resturant for supper and some- one told me that Delia was sitting on the settee in front and that she was probably waiting.for me as she was rubbenng in through the window. . “I went out and she walked along with me to the store, saying to me that she supposed I knew they had institutad proceedings to I'll tell you the real conversation against Dr. Koch and I told her I FREE—to All Housewives Tl Pay The Grocer [ To express my thanks to you for buying your first cake of Galvanic Laundry Soap, price Sc, I'll buy of the grocer for you a full-sized cake of Palmolive Soap— the daintiest zos/et and bath soap you know—soap never sold for less than ‘When you buy your first cake of Galvanic Soap, I give 10c.

I said that if she could not talk better about Dr, Koch not to talk at-all and she left the store, say- ing as she went, ‘I see where you stand.’” Senator Peterson (in re-cross examination)—¢Didn’t you say| to Delia that a doctor has the right to experiment with a patient?” Witness—"No, sir. ~ What I said was that just because he was a doc- tor he couldn’t always save his pa- tients.” Mrs. Harriet™ Bisbee, the mother of Mrs. John C. Koch, testified that the corner, where Albert had watched until 11 o’clock one night, was within sight of the two windows from the doctor’s office. Dr. Koch, the defendant in this action, was recalled by Senator Peterson for re-cross examination and testified that he had seen Albert on the Sagnes corner from his office that night. He would not have been watching if someone had not called him over the telephone and told him that Albert was looking for him. The doctor had a diphtheric pa- tient in the bank building eithera week or a month before Oscar’s ill- ness but he could not recall any case there the week before Oscar’s sickness. Judge Stanton told the jury that he had !called their attention several times to the fact that they must not discuss this case or allow others to discuss it in their presence. He asked that if any of them were ap- proached that they would come to him and let the court know, as such conduct was grossly improper. He then adjourned court until 2 o’clock this afternoon.

The body of Miss Georgia Don- nelly, who died in this city Wednes- day afternoon, was buried in Green- wood cemetery this afternoon, with appropriate services. Miss Donnelly, who came to Bemidji in the early days of the city, has been sick for four years with ‘consumption, her condition varying, she at times being able to be about the city and at otker times being confined ‘to the house. Fverything possible was done to relieve Miss Donnelly from the ravages of the “white plague,” but despite all that medical skill could do she gradually failed and for the past two years put up a wonderful exhibition of nerve in trying to check the disease. Lately, Miss Donnelly’s vitality waned, until her once robust con- stitution was absolutely broken and her death,on Wednesday, was not unexpected. The funeral services were held in the Prest:y!erian church this atternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. S, E. P, White officiating, there being a large attendance of friends of the deceased. ‘Georgia Donnelly was born in Wynot, Minn., in 1881, and was 28 years, 2 months of age. Always of a cheerful disposition Miss Donnelly 'had many friends in Bemid;i and her untimely death is sincerely mourned. SHERIFF CONTEST WILL BE HEARD ON JUNE 28 The Koochiching County Case Will ‘Be Considered by the Minnesota Supreme Court. The contest case instituted by Henry W. Forrier of Littlefork against Hugh T. McIntosh of Inter- national Falls to secure the office of sheriff of Koochiching county, which Mr. MclIntosh now holds, will be heard June 29th, before the Supreme Court,according to a notice received yesterday by Judge M. A. Spooner of this city. . S This case has attracted consider- able attention throughout north- central Minnesota. Hugh McIntosh of International Falls was appointed by the board of county commission- ers of Koochiching county, last November, to fill the unexpired term of Sheriff P. A, Walsh, who died just after being re-elected to another term.. When the new: board of ‘|county commissioners met in Janu- ary, Henry W. Forrier was appointed sheriff for the term to ‘which Mr. Walsh had been re-elected. Mr. Forrier demanded the - office, but Sheriff McIntosh refused to give it up. Mr. Forrier secured the ser- vices of Judge M. A. Spooner of Be- midji and F. J. McPartlin and J. C. Chamberlain of International Falls as his attorneys and Mr. McIntosh engaged George H. Spear and Ralph ‘A. Stone of Grand Rapids to protect his interests. The case was quickly carried to the Supreme Court and that tribunal issued a writ of quo warrants against Sheriff McIntosh, returnable during the present term of that body. Miss Haldemann of Bemidji was appointed referee and took the testimony at International Falls'on April 15th and returned it to the Supreme Court, which tribunal set the date of hearing on June 28, as stated above. Attorney General Simpson, Judge Spooner and Mc- Partlin & Chamberlain will present the case for the relator, and Spear & Stone for the respondent, by the briefs and argument.
