period of an hour in (he telling. The
essentials were reduced to writing and
signed. The District Attorney declined
to give out any portion of th#» statement
l«»r publication. Asked if to give publicity
to the narrative would jeopardize the
prosecution of Miss Burgemeister, Judge
Undeu replied Lhat it would not, but
that m his jud^meut. the statement was
such as should not be given publicity.
It is known positively that Mrs. Daschle)
disclaimed having had any part in the
shooting and maintained to the end that
►die did not. witness the culmination of
the tragedy.. Iri her first statement she
;suid some «»ne came to the house shortly
betore "t oViock and knocked at the front
door; that she opened the door, saw Mr.
Koehler, and admitted him; that he asked
for Miss Burgemeister and she told him
Miss IUirgcmeister was in and that tlie
visitor immediately entered.
Mrs. Daschlel, continuing, said a few
minuted later she heard loud talking in
Miss Burgeuieister's room and approached
the door to see what was occurring. Then,
she heard Miss Iiurgemeister exclaim in
a t<Mie of reproach ami saw Mr. Koehlei
app.voach Miss Hurgemeister and clutch
at her as though angry. Mrs. Daschlel
th'-n fled from the room, she said, and a
moment later heard the shots fired.
Asked if she or Miss Hurgemeister had
previously had trouble with Mr. Koehler,
j "Mrs. Dasehiel declined to answer, and for
( a time eon Id not be induced to give
i further details. Half an hour afterward ,
■ she consented to amplify her first state- I
merit.
MISS BCRGKMEISTER'S VERSION.
"I shot; him to defend myself and pro- j
teet my friend," was the statement made
by Miss Hurgemeister to Detective Chas.
\lnrsden as she was lying in bed waiting '
for the doctor to dress the wound in her I
left arm. She then became hysterical, said I
nothing lhat could be Interpreted. After
the wound was dressed she was removed
to the Baylor Hospital and at a late hour
last night reports from the hospital were
to the effect tliat her injuries were not seri-
ous. Miss Hurgemeister refused to make
any other statement. She was under con-
st.ant guard at the hospital, a policeman
being detailed to watch her.
Mr. Koehler was shot three times. One
bullet entered the left cheek about two
inches below the eye; another bullet en-
tered the right side of the neck and a third
penetrated the chest. EltTfcr one of the
three wounds, it is said, would have caused
death.
CHARGE IS FILED.
Mr. Koehler was dressed In a black suit )
and wore black shoes. His overcoat and |
hat were found on a hat rack in the hall I
way. Bills and change, amounting to $100 j
Ave re found in the pockets of his trousers. ;
vest and coat. Justice of the Peace R. Neil I
Campbell, after viewing the body, ordered

While a charge of murder was filed
Mgaiust Miss Hurgemeister at the police
station, no charge was made against her
In the county, ft is understood, however,
that she will be transferred to the County
.kail this morning.
Residents in the neighborhood are posi-
tive in their statements that only four shots
"wore fired, and several maintain that only
Hwo or three were fired.
Mrs. R. Neil Campbell, wife of Justice of
Hie Peace Campbell, residing next door,
r»2!> Hunstock Avenue, said her attention
was attracted when she saw Mrs. Emma
Daschlel, a friend of Miss Hurgemeister,
running from the house screaming. Think-
ing that Miss Hurgemeister was ill, she
rati towards the house to aid Mrs. Dasehiel.
Both of the women then ran up the walk.
As they stepped on the gallery to open the
door they heard two more shots. Rushing
In they found Mr. Koehler lying on the
floor In a pool of blood and beside
was Miss Hurgemeister. Mr. Koehler was
lead when they reached him.
KNEELS OVER BODY.
When Detective Marsden reached the
'house he found Miss Hurgemeister kneeling
on the floor near the body, her face in her
hands. A .'12 caliber revolver with five
empty shells in the chambers was laying
on the floor. Miss Hurgemeister "was
bleeding profusely from a deep cut on the
left arm. just at the wrist. A silver case
knife was lying on the floor, the blade
dripping blood. There were no indications
of a struggle in the room.
The house is a one-story frame bungalow
containing five rooms, a bath and kitchen.
The tragedy occurred in the bedroom of
Miss Hurgemeister, near the rear of the
bnlldlng.
Four bullet holes were found in the
room, one passing through a window to
the south, another striking the wall just
above a bed in the room, the third tearing
a hole in the head rail of a bed in the
front part of the house. The door between
these two bedrooms apparently was open,
a.s there is no mark of a bullet on the door.
A third victim narrowly escaped. One
of the bullets, after passing, it is believed
through the window, struck the casement
of a window in the front room of the resi-
dence of A. J. McKenale, 53*1 Hunstock
Avenue. The bullet embedded itself in the
Wood just an inch above the head of A. .1.
McKenzie Jr.. the tt-month-old son of Dr.
;tnd Mrs. Mckenzie.
Mrs. McKenzIe and Lloyd McKenzie, who
were sitting in the room at the time, said
they only heard four shots fired. Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Cords, 531 Hunstock Ave-
nue. just across the street, reached the
house just after the shots were fired.
Mr. fords sald he heard only three shots,
while Mrs. Cords is positive in her state-
ment that four shots were fired. Other
residents in the nelghborh<»od agree that
at the most they heard only four shots. •
The house at o,TJ Hunstock Avenue is
owned bv Miss Hurgemeister and is neatly
furnished. Miss Hurgemeister has lived
there for about four years. Mrs Henry
Cords said that she frequently had seen
Mr. Koehler come to the house, but that he
liad not been there as much this year as
before.
She said she saw Mr. Koehler drive up
1n his buggy about 4:30 o'clock, tie the
horse and walk into the house. She said
he was there about twenty minutes when
she heard the shots. The horse and buggy
temporarily were turned over to a livery
stable.

6UILDED GREAT FORTUNE
Otto Koehler Came to America When
17 Years Old—Was Man of Won-
derful Energies.
Otto Koehler came of a long lived lam-
ily. His grandparents and his parents
lived to celebrate their golden wedding an-
niversaries.
He was born in the town of Aidfeld, in
the Province of Hanover, April 28, InCm,
so had he lived until the spring Ills life
would have spanned three score years.
His parents were August and Johanna
Koehler. Of their union there were born
ten children and Otto Koehler. who eini
grated to the new world at the age of
17 years, grew to be the richest of them
all. He was the youngest of a pair of
twins. Ills twin brother, Karl, born first,
died first. The hitter's death occurred a
few years ago.
It was in the city of his birth that
him | Otto Koehler received his schooling, in the
| Seminary School of Aidfeld. as it Is called
[ over there. In youth J,here developed in
j him that marked tendency characterizing
i his later life boundless energy and a
I steadfastness of purpose. His father's
I business, that of grain and coal, did not
j particularly appeal to him. of the new
! world he had heard much from his own
I relatives and from friends who came over
; here to build up a fortune. So after he
I had acquired what he believed to be suf
ticient learning he crossed the Atlantic.
He landed In St. Louis and accepted an
humble clerkship. It was not much, hut
<it at least was the stepping stone to some
thing better. He applied himself doggedly
and in his leisure moments pored over
books that he might acquire a grasp of
English. Thoroughness which lie had ac
quired in the Fatherland stood him in
good stead and some of the younger Or
mans of St. Louis, n few of them his
senior in years, helped this frank young
fellow along in his tireless quest of falling
into the language of America.
SHAPES HIS COURSE.
His first employment in this countr;
was with his brothers who were in mer-
cantile pursuits in St. Louis. These did
not especially appeal to him and he later
entered the employ of Uriesedieck Broth
ers, brewers. It was this employment
which shaped the course of his later busl
ness life.
Brewing he found to his liking, and In
the St. Louis brewery he delved into all
branches of the business. This stood him
in good stead and he adopted it for a life
long occupation.
Then, like a lot of the other substantial
Germans who came to this side to build
their fortunes he sought the newer fields
that were not so crowded and which of
fered the man with limited means bett
opportunities to build up and when

merit was to count, there would be a rea
souable certainty of his acquiring an In
terest in an enterprise.
So Mr. Koehler came to San Antonio, al
most a quarter of a century ago and this
city has since been his home.
When the Lone Star Brewing Company'
was orgaulr.ed early in l*sO by 11. 1>.
Kampmann. John .1. Stevens, A. B. Frank
and Louis Berg, Mr. Koehler was employ-
ed as bookkeeper. A little later there was
a disagreement in the management and
Mr. Koehler became associated with John
J. Stevens, otto Wahrmund and Oscar
Bergstrom iu the organization of the San
Antonio Brewing Association. From the
outset, Mr. Koehler was the controlling
spirit. The Heloradsky Brewery, a small
enterprise on the present location of the
City Brewery was purchased. Mr. Stevens
was at that time connected with the Trad
ers' National Bank and through him the
money was obtained to buy out the Be
Joradsky interests. From that sma
ginning the presei\ great brewery
b«su developed.
VAST BI'SlNESS HOLDINGS.
Later. Mr. Koehler became interest
mining operations in Mexico which turned
out remarkably successful. He organized
the Jimulco Mining Company and the
I'auuco Mining Company and secured the
construction of the Panuco Mountain &
Monclova Railroad, sixty three kilometers
in length, extending between the Panuco
mines and Monclova. He was president
of these companies and also president of
the Continental Mining Company. the
Monarch Mining Company. the Texas
Transportation Company and the Ameri
can Lignite and Briquette Company,
which has Its headquarters in Rockdale.

of the largest stockholders, a director and

San Antonio, and erected the beautiful
residence he hus since occupied, improv-
ing and adding to It from time to time,
as his fancy indicated. He took the
greatest pride and pleasure in it. and
especially In the trees, plants and flowers
with which he adorned the grounds.
Flowers and plants were among his chief
delights and many of those at Ills home
and at the brewery were bought ami
planted under his personal supervision.
Whenever lie left San Antonio for one of
his periodical trips abroad, he always
cautioned the gardeners to give special
care to his flowers and trees. Recently
lie completed a fence about his home
grounds that Is unique and in keeping
with the beautiful surrouudings.
CITY DEAR TO HIM.
Mr. Koehler went abroad with Mrs.
Koehler nearly every year, chiefly because
of her health, she having been an In
valid for many years. It was during one
of these trips abroad that Mrs. Koehler
employed Miss Hurgemeister as a trained
nurse to attend her. The woman was a
capable nurse and was treated by the
family with the greatest consideration,
almost as one of them, but for some time
has been employed only at Intervals, off
and on. Mr. and Mrs. Koehler returned
from their last trip abroad less than one
month ago, and Mr. Koehler expressed
great pleasure in being back again.
"There Is no place so dear to me as
San Antonio," he remarked to A. T.
Stevens, secretary of the Huii Antonio
Brewing Association. "There is no other
place in the world with which I have
such pleasant associations as San Antonio
and there is no other place so beautiful
or more prolific of possibilities."
Mr. Stevens said he had been associated
about twenty three years with Mr. Koeh
ler and his appreciation of the man had
grown steadily year after year. "He
never saw an opportunity to do good
that he did not act to his fullest ability."
said Mr. Stevens. "Every man In his em-
ploy was devoted to him and this spirit
of friendship for the chief dominated
~ every man in the emplo" of the brewery.
Mr. Koehler was not only very methodical,
but was a very hard worker and the con-
stant tax on his energies was beginning
to toll on him. Recently he complained
of feeling fatigued and was warned that
he was overtaxing his strength and must
take more recreation.
One of Mr. Koehler's favorite pastimes
was golf and when Dr. Lewis S. Talltnan
was in San Antonio they had many games
at the Rockhlll Cluli. of which Mr.
Koehler was a member. Dr. Tollman
treated Mrs. Koehler and his treatment
was so beneficial that Mr Koehler prom
Ised his support In the establishment of
the sanitarium that Dr. Talltnan proposed
to build in or near San Antonio.
DEATH IS GREAT LOSS.
Mr. Koehler was not what is consid
cred a clubman, but he belonged to many
clubs, among them the San Antonio Club,
the Travis Club, the Casino, the Beethoven
Maennerchor, the Turn Verein, the Elks
and the San Antonio Automobile Club.
He belonged also to elnbs In several
other cities. He was one of the most In-
fluential in the organization of the Travis
Club, obtaining for it more members than
t f any one else, and was
ll> j the time it was organized.

Mr. Koehler was considered one of the
most active workers for the development
of San Antonio. He whs one of the sup-
porters of the Chamber of Commerce,
both financially and personally. and
never was he called on to aid that he
failed to give substantial support. In
charities he was also foremost, but many
of his charities will never be known, for
he said little about them.
Expression® of dismay and grief were
heard in all parts of San Antonio Inst
night after Mr. Koehler's death had be-
come known. Nat M Washer voiced the
general feeling when he said :
"ITe was a splendid man. and San An-
tonio ha« suffered a profound loss."
The Koehlers had no children. Sur-
viving him is hi* widow, who was Miss
Kmtna Bent/en of St. LonN. One of his

bers of the delegation took issue with the
President. They asserted the negro peo
nle did not se» k charity or assistance,
but took the position that they had equal
rights with the whites and that these
rights should be respected. There had
been no friction, they insisted, before the
segregation was started.
Mr. Wilson waited for the protest to
end. Then he told the delegation that
he could not discuss the matter further.
He closed with the quiet, but emphatic,
statement that Trotter had lost control of
his temper and that he (the President)
could not be talked to iu such a manner.
When the negroes left they said theil
talk had been "thoroughly disappointing'
and that they would hold a mass meeting
Iu Washington next Sunday to protest
further against segregation.
Trotter said it) his address that his
committee did not come "as wards look
iDi: for charity, but as full fleHged Ameri
can citizens, vouchsafed equality of eiti
r.enship by the Federal Constitution."
"Two years ago," Trotter said, "you
were thought to be n second Abraham
Lincoln "
The President interrupted, asking that
personalities be left out of the discus
slon. Trotter continued to speak, and the
president finally told him that if the or
giitiixatlon he represented wished to ap
proacb him again It must choose another
spokesman, adding that he had enjoyed
listening to the other members of the
committee, but that Trotter's tone wan
offensive.
"The President told Trotter that lie was
an American citizen as fully a.s anybody
else, but that he (Trotter) was the only
American citizen who had ever come into
the White House and addressed the Presi-
dent in such a tone and with such a
background of passion.
Here Trotter denied that he had any
passion, but the President told him he
spoiled the cause for which he had come
and said he expected those who professed
to be Christians to come to him in a
Christian spirit.
DUAGS IN POLITICS.
The negro spokesman continued to argue
that lie was merely trying to show how his
people felt, and asserted that he and
others were now being branded as traitors
to their race because they advised the col-
ored people "to support the ticket."
This mention of votes caused Mr. Wil-
son to say that politics must be left out,
because it was a form of blackmail. He
said he would resent it as quickly from
one set of men as from another and that
his auditors could vote as they pleased,
it mattered little to him so long as he was
sure he was doing the right thing at the
right time.
The President spoke frankly, saying that
if the negro people had made a mistake in
voting for lit in they ought to correct it,
but t fiat he would insist that politics
should not be brought into the question,
because it was not a political problem.
With some emotion he said he was not
seeking office and that a man who sought
the office of the presidency was a fool for
his pains lie spoke of the intolerable
burden of the office hnd of things which
lie had to do which were more than the
human spirit could carry.
WHOLLY Hl'MAN PROBLEM.
Ktuphasizlug that he did not care in the
least for the political considerations in
volved. Mr. Wilson urged that he wanted
his auditors to understand that It was a
human problem and not a political prob-
lem. While the American people wanted
to support the advancement of the negro,
the President was sure that as practical
men, everybody knew that there was a
point at which friction Is apt to occur.
The question must be stripped of sent I
inent and viewed In its fncts. because the
facts get the better of the individual
whether one desires it or not.
The President said lie thought Ills col
leagues In the government departments
wen* not trying t«» put the negro at a dis
advantage but simply to make arrange
metits ,which would prevent friction, fie
added that the question involved is not a
question of intrinsic qualities, because all
had human souls and were equal In that
lespe. t but at present it was a question
of economic policy whether the negro ra<e
could do the same tilings that the white
race could do with en mil efficiency.
He said he thought the negroes wets-
proving that they could and that every
one wished to help them so that they
would not be so dc|tendcnt. and that th»*lr
conditions of labor would Is- bettered. The
entire matter, however, should be treated
with .1 recognition ««f its difficulties.
Mr Wllsoi. said he was anxious to do
what was just and asked for more me
moranda from the committee as to in-
stances of segregation about which they
complained.
