CLEANED UP $25,000.
Wool Bought Early in Season Disposed
at Good Profit at PendIeton.

PENDLETON, July 2S.-One of the
easiest and at the same time the most
successful of the wool transactions of
the year occurred during the early part
of the season in Morrow county.
E. Y. Judd, of the Pendleton Scour-
ing mills, purchased upwards Of a
million pounds of wool early in the
season, to be worked over in the local
mills. The prices at that time were
at the lowest point, and it was not
thought so early in the season that
there would be much of an advance.
The wool was stored in the warehouses
preparatory to being shipped here,
when it was seen that the price was
steadily soaring higher. When the
value was several cents higher than
the purchase price, the whole amount
was disposed of by the owner, and a
cool $4,000 cleared up on the deal.
This was a much better result than
could have been obtained had the wool
been shipped here and sorted and
secured.

Corhett and AtteII.

PHILADELPHIA, July 28.-Unless
all signs go astray the patrons Of the
National Athletic club will be treated
to a rafting good fight tonight when
Young Corbett' and Abe Attell come
together for a six-round bout. There
is considerable personal feeling be-.
tween the two little fighters, each
claiming for several years past that the
other was afraid to meet him. The
two are regarded as pretty evenly
matched and are counted on to put up
one of the liveliest fights seen here
abouts in a long time.

Story Of His Crimes.

If Johann Hoch was guilty of half
the crimes charged against him he
truly deserved to be called the modern
"bluebeard." The only case affording
anything like a parallel in the police
records of late years was that Of
Knapp, the Cincinnati murderer, who
was executed at Columbus a couple of
years ago, convicted of the murder of
one of his wives and suspected of kill
ing several other women and young
girls.
Hoch married Mrs. Mary Hendrick-
son under the name of Schmidt in 1908
He left her shortly afterward and mar
ried a Mrs. Welker. Both women lived
in Chicago Mrs. Welker died about
a month after her marriage, and it was
charged that Hoch poisoned her in or
der that he might marry her sister
Mrs. Emile Fischer. 1t was Mrs
Fischer who proved to be Hoch's nem-
esis. His long career of marital du-
plicity was halted by this German wo-
man, who had accumulated by years
of frugality the small fortune of $3.50
Mrs. Fisher married Hoch in Joliet

Neck Saved at Eleventh Hour
by Gov. Oeneen
MONEY RAISED FOR TAKING APPEAL
A Physician and a Rich Woman Come
to the Rescue Of the Modern
Bluebeard.

CHICAGO, July 2s.-With scarcely
more than an hour to spare before the
time set for his execution, Johann
Hocn, the convicted wife murderer,
was reprieved by Governor Deneen
until August 25. Fifteen minutes prior
to the announcement that he would
have additional time to present his ap-
peal to the supreme court Hoch said:
These efforts to save me from the
come of facts in the case. I have
put my trust in God and I know he
will treat me right. I am innocent and
will prove it before the highest tri-
bunal"
With the exception of a slight at
tack of nausea early. this morning
Hoch was in excellent spirits through
out the morning up to the hour set for
his hanging. When he learned that
money had been raised to pay for his
appeal he called for another cigar,
placed his feet on a table and said:
"This proves my contention that I
will not 11ang."
The death watch says that Hoch is
the gamest man he ever stood guard
over.
1t was at the eleventh hour when
so&o ffo
murderer and arch bigamist, received
a ray of hope that he would not be exc
cuted for the murder of his wife, Marie
Welker Hoch. He was scheduled to
hang between 10 o'clock and to-
day, but his march to the scaffold was
delayed to the last moment pend
ing the result of heroic efforts of his
friends to obtain the $500 needed to
complete the $11O0 necessary to make
an appeal to the supreme court.
Attorney A. H. Thompson furnished
$500 of the $11O0 needed. mss Cora
Wilson, who also came to Hochs aid,
is known as the "angeP' to some pris-
oners in the Jail. She does much
charity work among the friendless.
DR.. L. H. Montgomery, a Well known
physician and Miss Cora Wilson, a
woman of wealth, called 'at the Jail at
1O:3O and announced that they had
raised the amount needed by Hoch.
States Attorney Heady informed them
that he would communicate with the
governor. Montgomery has taken an
interest in the case from a scientific
point of view, asserting that in his
opinion the analysis of the contents of
Mrs. Hoch's stomach was incorrect and
that Hoch could not have committed
the crime.
At 1880 Hoch's attorney was as
sured by telephone that the governor
would issue another reprieve, providing
the effort to obtain the money for ap-
peal was made in good faith.
At 12:45 p. m. Governor Deneen re-
prieved Hoch until August 25.
