several hours after reaching here was

When Hoch and LOTUS alighted
from the train the detail of police who
who had been sent to the depot to
meet them was able to control the
crowd with great dif1cultg People
pushed and showed in an excited man
ner as they strove to get close enough
to the prisoner to get a look at him.
When he was recognized, number of
people jeered and hooted him. The
police hurried him through the depot,
and on the sidewalk outside had an
other crowd to deal with, but they
quickly hustled Hoch into a patrol
wagon and started for the east Chica-
go avenue police station, mile dis
tant.
Outside the station, crowd was
gathered and it was larger and more
obstreperous than the others. 1t was
found necessary to call the officers from
inside the station before the walks
could be cleared sufficiently to allow
the prisoner to be taken into the sta
stion. He was taken at once to the
office of Police Inspector George Ship

searching examination which cOntin-

the outset that he had married Mrs.
Marie Goerk Hoch and that the mar

During the evening five women who
claim to be wives of Hoch called at
the police station, and were placed in

several policemen. One Of them,
Mrs. Emile Fischer-Hoch, saw him
for minute and saluted him with the
exclamation:
"You old hog you got my $3.50,
didn't you?"
Hoch made no reply to this, but
smiled as though he considered the
affair of $3.50 rather a joke than other
wise.

Later the five women were, one at
a time, admitted into the office of the
inspector, and all identified HOch as
the man to whom they were married.
When Mrs. Marie Goerk-Hock was adj
mitted into the room, HOch for the
second time declared that he married
her, but that the marriage was lille
gal He also confessed to having
married Mrs. Emily Fischer-Hoch,
when she was shown into the room.
A physician who had attended Mrs.

identified him as the husband of Mrs.
