JOHANN HocH TO DIE.
Death Sentence Imposed ON Wife
Upheld.

MuEocEcr ODnehO.
The gallows once more confronts Jo-
ham Hoch, convicted wife murderer and
accused of having innumerable wives.
The Illinois Supreme Court at Spring
field handed down its decision upholding
the judgment of the Criminal Court in
Chicago, which sentenced Hoch to hang
for the murder of Mrs. Marie Welker-
Hoch. Unless his lawyers manage to
secure another delay. which is declared
unlikely, Hoch will be hanged Feb. %.
The prisoner, who once before was ready
for the march to the gallows, received
the news calmly. Hoch's career, in and
out of court, has been a spectacular one.
Last summer he came as near TO being
hanged and yet escaped the gallows as
any man in the criminal history of Hi
nois. After a long trial he was convict
ed OF killing his next to last wife. and
sentenced to be executed June 23. Gov.
Deneen was appealed to, and on the rep
resentation that funds would be secured
to carry the case to the Supreme Court
n respite was granted until July 2S.
Plotke's attempts to secure funds. how
ever, proved futile, and going TO the jail
the night of July % he bade Hoch good
by, seeing no hope to save the prisoner.
Ii looked as if the prisoner could not
escape the gallows, and that night he
was placed in the death chamber. The
case reached a dramatic climax the next
morning-Hoch was TO hang at Don
when A. III. Thompson. a lawyer. rushed
into the Jail and volunteered to contrib
ute $500. At the moment Hoch was in
the death chamber. and the gallows had
been tested. Hurried telephone commu-
n~ication with Gov. Deneen followed, with
the result that another respite was
granted until Aug. %. and Hoch was
given a new lease of life. Soon after
ward he engaged j. j. Neiger and Frank
Comerford to acr as his counsel. About
500 was collected by Hoch and his
friends, and night and day his lawyers
worked in preparing a record of the case
for the Supreme Court. This was ac-
complished, but as this decision proves.
it was in vain. The Hoch case attract
ed notice all over the country. Accused
first of having two wives. the number
grew until nearly every State in the
Union boosted of a "Nrs. Hoch."

Bank exchanges, the

a., Bank exchanges, the

-are expected to reflect
some growth during December, but the
total this week is doubly interesting in
that it largely exceeds the correspond
ing week last year and makes a new

This evidence OF progress is not
weakened by any present or approach
ing indication of diminution in actiy-
ity. Iron and steel production shows
u~nexampled cohesion; ore never before
was more eagerly secured against 1u-
ture needs, and prices Of both raw ana
finished materials have acquired ex-
ceptional firmness, Notwithstanding he
rapidity of recent advances. This sit
uation is not surprising when it is con-
sidered that the leading producers are
away behind their orders n that ca
pacity will be taxed to the limit well
into next year.
