EXECUTION BY THE GOV
ERNoRE OF ILLINOIS.

Chicago, July %. Johann Hoch.
"Bluebeard" and confessed bigamist.
who was sentenced to be hanged Fri
day for poisoning one Of his wives.
was granted a reprieve Friday after
noon until Aug. 25 by Governor De-
neen. The stay OF execution followed
hours Of anxiety on the part Of Hoch,
who had never given up hope and was
allowed by the governor only after the
latter had been assured that the ne
scessary sum, to appeal the case had
been raised. The amount. $500. was
given by an attorney and friend Of
Hoch's counsel. The attorney declared
he was actuated by purely humans
tartan motives. e
An incident at the jail during the
preparations for the execution was the
appearance ofsa physician and wom-
an who told Jailer Whitman that they
wanted to help il Hoch's battle forilife.
They said they wished to raise funds
for the condemned man and asked Jail
or Whitman to delay the hanging a.
long as possible. Hoch's attorneX,
however. had already been IN com
Wunication with the authorities re.
specting the stay Of sentence. TIRE .ss

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 31.-A confer

President Roosevelt entertained at

ments of the cotton report leak scan.
dal and of the exploitation Of nitro
culture which induced the resignation
of DR.. George T. Moore. Both Of these
cases are now under investigation by
the department of justice. By direc.
tion Of the president the inquiries will
be made very thorough and il the facts

tions against the offenders will be In.
stituted by Attorney General Moody.
Meantime a rigid inquiry will be
made into all other bureaus Of the de.

Intention of both the president and

this general inquiry the president is
not interfering in any way. Secretary
Wilson is directing 1t and the presi
