Kaufmann Murder Trial Features Two Medical Experts
In Flandreau South Dakota on June 13 two specialists in mental and nervous diseases testified that Agnes Poireis, Mrs Kaufmann’s servant, likely died from head and body blows. Dr Sweeney of St Paul found a healthy brain yet noted a blood clot from blunt impact. Dr Coulter of Omaha linked the death to external violence causing brain hemorrhages. The state rested its case amid crowd interest. Separately, in Minneapolis the National Conference of Charities and Corrections opened with Senator Beveridge as keynote, drawing about 1,200 delegates to the Minneapolis Auditorium. Knox College in Galesburg marked its 70th anniversary with President Robert Mather of the Rock Island railroad asserting need for regulated carriers but cautioning against overbearing bureaucratic control.
