1861-02-22: "A serious joke," Pittsburgh Post, p. 1 (Newspapers.com 87563669): "A Serious Joke.—On Thursday, Justice Victor Scriba, of Reserve township, committed to jail Dr. Augustus Achenbach, charged with 'larceny to the amount of $5, on oath of L. W. Kolkenbeck,' Dr. Francis Hardtmeyer acting as deputy constable. After being committed Dr. A. was taken before Judge Mellon, on a writ of habeas corpus. His counsel stated that the whole matter was a joke, the information having been brought upon a book loaned to Dr. A. The Court, however, could see no evidence of the joke on the face of the commitment and refused to discharge the Doctor, but admitted him to bail for trial. If this was done in a joke it may prove a serious one to some concerned."

1861-02-23: "No joke after all," Daily Pittsburgh Gazette, [p. 3] (Newspapers.com 85650964): "No Joke After All.—We are requested by Justice Scriba to state that there was no joke about the commitment of Dr. Achenbach, on Thursday, for larceny. The information was made by Mr. Koelkenbeck, who swore positively as to the offense with which the Doctor was charged, and refusing to give bail, the only course he had to pursue was to commit him in default. It is said that Mr. Koelkenbeck intends prosecuting Achenbach for assault and battery, and slander."

• "No joke," Pittsburgh Post, p. 1 (Newspapers.com 87563686): "No Joke.—It is stated that the commitment of Dr. Achenbach for larceny, by Justice Victor Scriba, of Reserve township, last week, was not intended as a joke, Mr. Kolkenbeck having sworn positively to the offence. The Dr. was held to bail on two charges by Justice Scriba, on Saturday, one for surety of the peace and one for assault and battery, Mr. Kolkenbeck having made both informations."
• "In trouble again," Daily Pittsburgh Gazette, [p. 3] (Newspapers.com 85650968): "In Trouble Again.—Dr. Achenbach, who was committed to jail on Thursday evening as he thought in a joke, on a charge of larceny, but which to his great indignation turned out to be no joke, was before Justice Scriba, on Saturday, on two charges—one for surety of the peace and the other for assault and battery, on oath of Mr. Koelkenbeck. He entered bail to answer for the offences at Court."

1861-04-09: "Court of Quarter Sessions, &c.," Pittsburgh Post, p. 1 (Newspapers.com 87564293): "Dr. Augustus Achenbauch was put on trial for larceny in taking some books and music from L. W. Kolkenbeck, editor of a German newspaper. The latter swore to having missed the books, but not that defendant had stolen them, and the jury found a verdict of not guilty. ¶ The same prosecutor, who had quarreled with Dr. A. a year or more since, brought an action of assault and battery against him. The assault occurred when the prosecutor, having sworn out a search warrant for the articles mentioned in the last case, went to his house, and the Dr., exasperated at the conduct of his former friend in bringing such a charge against him, seized Kolkenbeck for the purpose of ejecting him. The jury found a verdict of not guilty, prosecutor and defendant each to pay half the costs."

1861-08-26: "The Republikaner—a hint from an official source," Daily Pittsburgh Gazette and Commercial Journal, [p. 3] (Newspapers.com 85652049): "The Republikaner--A Hint from an Official Source. ¶ For some time past, the tone of the Republikaner, a German paper published in this city, by L. W. Kœlkenbeck, has been regarded as decidedly detrimental to the interests of the Government, and it is said the editor has lately become bolder in giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy, by creating a feeling of hostility to the war measures of the Administration. The matter has very properly been brought to the notice of the United States District Attorney, R. B. Carnahan, Esq., who has notified the editor, through the Marshal of this District, that the tone of his paper is decidedly inimical to the Government, and if not changed may subject him to legal prosecution. ¶ We learn that this hint had very little effect upon the aforesaid editor, his only reply being that 'he was in favor of the Union, and he did not see how he could change the tone of his paper.' ¶ We have not seen a translation of any of these articles, but a gentleman who has read some of them in the original pronounces them as well calculated to aid the rebellion. It might be well for Mr. Kœlkenbeck to profit by the notice of the Government officer, and change his tactics—otherwise he may be dealt with as other treasonable editors have been elsewhere."

1861-08-27: "To the public," Daily Pittsburgh Gazette and Commercial Journal, [p. 3] (Newspapers.com 85652056): "To the Public.—It would appear from Saturday's Evening Gazette, that I was a Secessionist, and the German Republicaner, which I edit, a Secession paper. This is, however, not the case, as every German in this community knows my loyalty towards the Union. I have never expressed any secession sentiments, and have always been, and shall be, for the Union and for the Constitution. ¶ L. W. Koelkenbeck, ¶ Editor of the Pittsburgh Republicaner."

1861-08-27: "Another newspaper in trouble," Philadelphia Inquirer, p. 4 (Newspapers.com 167514975): "Another Newspaper in Trouble. ¶ Special Despatch to the Inquirer. ¶ Pittsburg, Aug. 26. The United States District Attorney, R. B. Carnahan, Esq., has notified the editor of the German Republikaner, L. W. Kœlkenbeck, Esq., through the Marshal of this District, that the tone of his paper is decidedly inimical to the Government, and if not changed may subject him to legal prosecution. ¶ The articles in the Republikaner have been the cause of much annoyance to the Union citizens of Allegheny county, and this action of the District Attorney has doubtless been taken for the purpose of preventing in Pittsburg a repetition of the scenes of excitement lately witnessed in Easton and other places."
