DR.. Montgomery and Miss Wilson
left the jail together. Miss Wilson
chung tenactously to her anonymity.
Il I'M interested in the case" she
said, Solely because | think the man
ought to have a chance-an equal
chance
At 2 a. m. the jailer was called by
telephone. Some person, who refused
to give his name at the time, an
ncuuced that he would appear at the
Jail at 10 a. m, prepared to furnish
money, the lack Of which it has been
alleged prevented Hoch from complot-
ing the legal records required by the
supreme court in case of all appeals.
The Taller attached little fmpor-
tnnce to the nOtifcation.
But at the hour named DR.. Mont
gomery, who is one of the best-known
physicians in Chicago, with Miss Viii
son" appeared at the Jail. Their talk,
with the jailer convinced him they
were in earnest, and steps were at once
taken for a new appeal to the governor.
The execution was postponed until
the last moment. Hoch was notified
of what was going on. He grew nerv-
Gus and paced his cell. The governor,
in answer to the request, said to be sure
Of the money. When the money, 5000,
was paid over, the possession was
almost ready Tor the gallows.
Or, Montgomery has taken an inter-
est in the Hoch case from a physicians
standpoint, asserting his opinion that
his analysis of alleged poisonings
charged to Hoch reveals an impossible
situation, and that Hoch could not have
committed the crimes.
The saving of Hoch was one Of the
most sensational happenings the coun-
ty Jail has eyer known.
"When I get born again ! am GO
ing to pick out IA rich father.
IF | get into trouble the next time
| come on earth, / will probably have
money enough to get a fair shake
These we're Hoeh's words the evening
before, when the governor had refused
to grant the stay.

comes he said to the jailer.

So far az the Chicago authorities can
make out, Hoch murdered "a OF his
wives, first getting them 10 give him

and interviewed President Roosevelt
in connection with the Improvement
of the Columbia river, says the Port
land Oregonian. He brings back en-
couraging news relative to the matter
and believes that a united effort or
the part of Oregon citizens will result
in forcing favorable congressional ac-
ton this winter.

place will have to be In the nature

Senator Fulton and myself called
on the president together, and he was
exceedingly cordial in his reception,
assuring US that he wanted to do all
In his power to help us. He said In

would not feel justified in making any

VOCAL INDIAN CHORUS.
Remarkable Addition to Major Moor
houses Museum.

Major Lee Moorhouse has become
interested in recording Indian music
by phonograph, and within the past
few days has taken quite n number or
Indian songs in that manner. One OF
the selections he secured was a war
song sung by four Pocatellos who
chanced to be visiting here a few days
ago. Although the songs lost some In
volume, the photographic reproduc-
tions are very good and furnish inter-
esting entertainment.
The success had so far by Major
Moorhouse in this new line OF Indian
work indicates the possibilities of the
phonograph in recording their songs
With his wide experience with the In
dlans and their well known friendship
for him, it should be easy for Major
Moorhouse to supplement his splendid
collection of photographs by a collec-
ton Of their songs.

sIGAUND PLEADED GUILTY.
No New Developments to Provo the
Charge That He Was Robbed.

At 10 o'clock this morning August
Slgmund, who lost about $500 while
drunk Saturday. pleaded guilty to the
charge of being drunk and disorderly
and was fined $40 by Judge Fitz
Gerald Sigmund himself did not ap-
pear in court, but was represented by
Attorney ]. B. Perry. At first n plea
of not guilty was entered. and prepa-
rations were made for trying the case
However. Mr.. Perry finally decided
to change the plea to guilty and the
above sentence was given.
Following the passing OF sentence
Judge Fitz Gerald took Sigmund's
purse. containin $123.30 from the Of
flee safe and delivered II to the at
torney. The fine was paid from this
money.
AS to the charge made by Sigmund
that he had been rot bed by Marshal
Coffman there have been no new de-
velopments, and it is evident that the
butcher cannot prove his charge.
This morning Attorney Perry stated
that unless something more should
be learned no criminal complaint
would be made.
According to Mr.. Perry. Sigmund
came to town Saturday morning with
S5S7. or this $500 in gold was tied
| in a rag, while the remaining S2S7
was in a purse. As there was but
| S123.30 in the purse when examined
at the police station, 1t appears that
at some time during the day the $500
was either stolen from Sigmund or
lost by him. while there is little
doubt but that he spent the money
that was missing from his purse.
According to the officers Sigmund
has bad reputation for drinking and
creating trouble around town, and
Saturday is not the first time he has
cut loose OF late.

Now that the new city government
will go into power within a few days,
Increased interest is being taken in
the marshalship, and the friends OF
several candidates are working con-
siderably in the interest of their men.
However, the fight has not yet devel-
oped sufficiently to make the outcome
sure, and though the friends of the
different aspirants each claim their
man 10 be in the lead, it is hard to
tell where the choice will fall.
The most recent candidate is Peter
Smith Kinsella, OF the Hotel st.
George and IL some of his friends
are not over enthusiastic regarding
his prospects he stands a good show
OF landing the prize. When asked
this morning If he were a candidate
for the office, Mr.. Kinsella said:
II would like to have the position
II 1t comes TO me right: that Is with
out a squabble. and on the square.
Should be given the place l will do
my duty, showing favors to none and
following the instructions given me
by the mayor and council"
II is said that three councilmen
have expressed themselves favorably
to Mr.. Smiths selection, while a
fourth has not yet pledged his sup
port to anyone.
Besides Mr.. binsella the other can
didates mentioned for the position of
marshal are o. w. Coffman, present
incumbent; Arthur Gibson and Bert
Wilson. Marshal Coffman. so 1t is
said, also has several councilmen who
have promised him support, and
there are many who look for his re-
election. Gibson and Wilson are not
antagonistic candidates, and seem
ingly both have the same men back
ing them.
| Under the law il Is the duty OF the
council to choose the marshal, while
the mayor names the city attorney.
Although the mayor-elect could
doubtless greatly influence the selec-
ton of a marshal, II Is apparent that
Judge Fee Is not taking any hand in
the affair. AS to who he will name
as city attorney there is still much
darkness, and IL he has made known
his choice to anyone the same has not
become generally known. Charles II
Carter, who has held the position for
several terms, it is thought by many
will retain the office, while should a
republican be named, John McCour'
is mentioned as the strongest posi-
bility. However, both men declare
themselves absolutely in Ignorance or
