A LATTER-DAY BLUEBEARD.
Thirteen Wives Credited to Johann
HoCh.
Chicago Police Looking for the Man
Whose Many Wives Died
soon After Marriage.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-Information OF
more alleged victims of the supposed
'~Bluebeard" (Johann Hoch) has been
given to the police by John Prick, an
employe Of the Nickel Plate railroad.
Frick has reported to the police a
charge that his sister. Mrs. William
Schultz, married Hoch. who then
called himself Albert Muschburg, at
Argos, Ind, in 1900. Mrs. Schultz had
a child named Nettie. then five years
old.
shortly after they arrived in Chi
cage letters ceased coming home"
said Frick. "and | am under the be-
lief that my sister and her little girl
were done away with. My sister had
about $500 at the time of the mar
riage."
Acting on the theory that Hoch is
the MISSING. janitOr OF the notorious H.
H. Holmes castle" the police are
using the same methods TO trace HOch
as we're used in seeking Holmes. The
police believe Hoch to be a pupil of
Holmes, and that he will use the same
ruses that were employed by Holmes
to escape arrest.
Relatives OF six Of the IS wives
credited to HCch have expressed a
belief to Police Inspector Shippy that
the six women died from poison.
A furniture dealer on Milwaukee
avenue informed the police that he
had furnished five different flats for
Koch. each time under a different
name, and that he had a new wife
for every fiat.

COURT OF IMPEACHMENT
United States Senate Organized AS
Such to Try Judge Swayne.
Court VIII he Presided over by
Plat, of Connecticut, ana May
Continue eel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-Tre senate
has taken an important step IN
;he impeachment trial Of United States
Judge Charles Swayne, OF the northern
district of Florida. The organization Tor
the trial was perfected by the swearing
of the senators for that purpose; the
managers of the house were received
for the purpose of formally present
inc the articles of Impeachment N a
resolution summoning Judge Swayne
to appear was adopted.
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut. was elect
ed to preside at the trial sessions. Fur
Tier proceedings were postponed until
Friday next, when Judge Swayne is ex-
pected TO appear before the bar or the
senate.
A resolution by Mr.. Allison author
izing the payment Of the expenses OF
the trial from the contingent fund or
the senate was adopted.
At the instance of Mr.. Plat Comm
a. roll call of the senate was ordered
a few minutes before two O'Clock, in
order to insure a full attendance at
the time of the administration OF the
oaths. Seventy-two members respond
ed to their names, and the last name
N the list had scarcely been an
nounced when Chief Justice Fuller ap-
peared at the south door of the senate
chamber. He was fianked OF the one
side by Mr.. Fairbanks. and on the
other by Mr.. Bacon. He was clad in
the full robes of his Office.
The entire senate had arisen when
the chief justice was announced, and
remained standing when he was seated
on the left of President Protempore
Frye. He proceeded Immediately to
administer the oath to the president
protempore, and then to Mr.. Plat, as
tie presiding officer for the trial.
After they had been sworn the roll
was called, and the senators appeared
IN groups of ten before the senate bar
to take the oath, which was admins
tered by the chief justice.
The ceremony vas impressive, and
was witnessed by a full senate and by
well filled galleries.
Estimates as to the length of time
that the trial will occupy vary from
ten days to a month after it is once
begun. 1t is believed that when Judge
Swayne appears next Friday he will
ask for a few days to make answer,
and when he does answer, that a day
or two more will be given to the house
for the preparation of its replication.
A number of witnesses will be heard
and considerable time consumed by at
torneys. 1t is therefore probable that
the conclusion OF the case will not long
precede the day of final adjournment
in March.

At last she nerved herself, snatched

Petitioners Slain.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-It is said
that hundreds, and perhaps thousands,
of workingmen were shot down by SOL
diers Tuesday.
From $4,000 to 10000 workingmen
were marching to T~saikoe-SelO to pre-
sent a petition TO the ear for q lib
eral government, and a redress OF their
wrongs. They were strikers, employees
OF government ordnance and rifle
works. They refused to turn back,
and infantry, it is said, fired into the
mass, causing a butchery. The strict
est secrecy is maintained in regard
to the incident.
After firing, it is said that the SOL
diers surrounded the crowd, and
poured volley after volley into the
struggling, helpless mass of humanity.
The Policy Of the Government.
There is no doubt that it is the pol
icy of the government to allow the
revolution to spread, and the people
to collect in great masses, and then
butcher them as an awful lesson of the
power and determination of the gov
eminent.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-The revolt
is now positively declared to be the
result of a plot of the grand dukes TO
usurp the throne.
The revolution is looked upon by
many as a plot on the part of Grand
Duke Vladimir TO prevent the sue
cession Of the cars infant son to the
throne. Conspiring with the military
heads. the grand duke may seize the
throne when the revolution has
reached q more acute stage.
Vladimir, the PIOtter.
Grand Duke Vladimir, it is charged,
prevented the car from meeting the
delegation of w%orkingmen last Sun
day. 1t was Vladimir who ordered the
troops to fire.
His object. assisted by the other
grand dukes, is to fOment diScOrd be-
tween the people and the car, and
when the time is ripe, if it ever be-
comes ripe. he will turn to the army
and say TO it:
See what a weakling occupies the
Russian throne. See how he trembles
before the voice of the people. Depcse
him and place me in his stead, and
you and ! will save Russia"
Grand Duke Vladimir. who before
the birth Of the ~czarevitch, was second
in succession to the throne, now sees
his dreams of l~egitimately obtaining
power dispelled by a tiny baby. He
has been driven to desperation, and
he is now Selling the opportunity to
make himself car.
To Save Throne For Her Baby.
Vladimir's contention was combat
ted by the czarina. who knows the in
side situation. and who is doing ev-
erything to save the throne for her
baby. She begged and implOred the
car to meet the wOrkingmen, but
VIadimir's influence outweighed hers,
and the czar at the last moment de-
cIined to confer with the strikers.
How the matter will end nobody can
tell. Everything depends on the army.
WhOsoever it decides shall occupy II
throne for the future, whether it de
cides to continue Nicholas or elevate
Vladimir, its word can not be changed
by law"
