Chicago, Feb. 10.-Johann Hoch, in
dicted for bigamy, suspected of MUIR
der, and man of many aliases, ar
rived in Chicago last night and for
several hours after reaching here was
interrogated by the police with small
,esults. When the train bearing Hoch
and Officer LOTUS. who held him in
custody, rolled into the LaSalle street
station a large crowd had gathered to

When Pooh and Lotus alighted
from the train the detail of police who
VINO had been sent TO the depot to
meet them was able to control the
crowd with great difficulty. People
pushed and showed in an excited man

to the prisoner to get a look at him.
When he was recognized, number of
people jeered and booted 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. a mile dis
tant.
Outside the station. a crowd was
gathered and 1t 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
Ply, where he was subjected TO a
searching examination which contin-
ued several hours Hoch admitted at
the outset that he had married Mrs.
Marie Goerk Hoch and that the mar

Mrs. Emile Fischer Hoch. saw him
for a minute and saluted him with the
exclamation:
"Yon old hog YOU got my $3.50.

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 10 whom they were married.
When Mrs. Marie Goerk-Hock was ad-
mitted into the room, Hoch for the
second time declared that he married
her, but thar the marriage was ille-
