THE STORY OF HOCH'S TRIALS

Chicago, Dec. 16.The supreme
court of the state has affirmed the YER
dict Of the lower 4ourt which con-
demned Johann Hoch to death for the
murder Of his wife, Mrs. Marie
Welcker-Hoch, and the date of his
execution has been set for Feb. 90.
The first news Of the action of the
court was received here by a telephone
message from Assistant States Attor-
ney Barnett, who is in Springfield. He
communicated the information to
States Attorney Healy. A messenger
was sent to Hoch with the news and
found him in the visitors cage, talking
with the last of his many wives, Mrs.
Fischer-H the sister of the woman
for whose murder he was sentenced to
death.
When he received the news Hoch
became greatly excited and, pressing
his face against the wire netting, he
shOuted:
You are a liar, liar. 1t is not
true. do not believe it"
He quickly became more composed
and asked verification of the report.
When the messenger came back a
second time Hoch took it very quietly.
He did not betray the SLIGHTEST emo

applause, which continued When MIR.

same position.
Without further debate rising vote
was had. AS every one stood up in
favor of the resolution the speaker an
nounced while the house burst into
laughter: Three hundred and eighty
six members have voted in the afirma-
tive" There were no opposing votes.
The DEPRESSION occupied less than
ten minutes, when Mr.. Sherley re-
sumed. He opposed a reference of the
subject either to the ways and means
or interstate and foreign commerce
committees.

that the power Of taxation was a legit.
innate weapon to control the privileges
of commerce. He made a vigorous at
tack on the officers of the three big
life insurance companies of New York.
He denounced the system under which
the companies had grown up and was
appalled, that the confessions of the
officers of these companies had not
landed them in Jail.

LANE is a DEMOCRAT.
Senators Hold Up Nomination Of In
terstate Commissioner.


Washington, Dec Is. The senate
committee on interstate commerce
considered the nomination Of Franklin
Lane Of California to be member of
the interstate commerce commission.
It was known to members Of the com
mittee that there was opposition to
the confirmation of Mr.. Lane and
therefore it was referred to sub-com-
mittee. which will hear all objections.
No formal protest against the nominal
ton has been made, although it has
been declared by certain Pacific coast
senators that they believe the appoint
ment should have been given to a Re
publican. The same view is held by
many Eastern senators and it is pre-
dicted that the nomination may be
held UP for some time. It was stated
that Senator Cullom desired that no
action be taken until he could con-
slider the case. The nomination of
Lane Is to succeed Commissioner
Fifer, who announced that he would
resign on account Of Ill health. His
health has been better recently and it
II rnmored that an effort will be made
to have him withdraw HIS resignation
and continue to serve.

The specific charge against Hoch
and of which he was convicted was
the killing OF his wife, Mrs. Marie
Welcker-Hoch, by the administration
of arsenic. He fled from the city and
was arrested in New York and brought
back to Chicago. He was placed on
trial April 10 and convicted May 20.
Sentence of death was passed on him
on June 8, the original date of June %
being set for his execution. Governor
Deneen granted him reprieve until
July % and second reprieve until
Aug. %. Before the arrival of this
day, however, the supreme court grant
ed him supersedeas to allow consid-
Grafton of his case. The action of the
court affirming the decision destroys
his last hope unless Governor Deneen
tnterferes.
Hoch has always denied that he
killed his wife by arsenic or otherwise.
He has admitted that he committed
bigamy repeatedly, but asserts that all
OF his wives who died expired of nat
ural causes. .:s.%
