Jury Baited to Agree in Trial of Dr Koch Case
Proceedings in the Dr Koch murder case at New Ulm Minnesota feature repeated jury deadlocks and resumption of trials. The frightened court urged a verdict of first degree murder or acquittal after a long, contested process beginning with the November 1904 crime and continuing through multiple trials and suspensions. The grisly crime left Gebhardt slain in his office with crushing blows and numerous knife wounds, while the room showed signs of a fierce struggle.
