Bond of Bergemeister to Forfeited Bond Not Read in Court

In a 1914 case in the Seventh District Court, Miss Teida Bergemeister failed to appear or have her bond read aloud as a letter from her counsel was presented. Judge Anderson allowed the bond to be forfeited, with deputies handling the proceedings as the defendant faced trial for the murder of Oto Keckler. The letter, reportedly from Miss Bergemeister, claimed she was en route to Europe to nurse the wounded and aid sufferers. Senator Bee argued against reading the letter aloud, while District Attorney Linden pressed for the bond forfeiture. The courtroom was crowded as the matter progressed.
