Chicago. Feb. 11.-Confronted by
living witnesses Of his duplicity at
the coroner's investigation into the
death Of Mrs. Walcker-Hoch, his last
victim, Johann Hoch, the much-mar-
ried man, according to the police, has
admitted his marriage to 13 women in
the last 10 years. Eight Of these
women, who at one time bore the
name Of the alleged bigamist are now
dead, but Hoch declares they died
natural deaths. and is firm in his de-
NAL that he poisoned any one of them.
With tho exception of the identifica-
ton of Hoch by several OF his victims
or their friends, nothing new devel-
oped at the hearing of the coroner's
jury. and at the conclusion of the ex-
animation of witnesshs Coroner Hoff-
man announced that the inquest would
bo postponed until next Wednesday.
The principal witness at the ex-
animation was Mrs. Fischer-lioch, a
sister of the woman over whom the in
quest was being held. The witness is
the woman Hoch married a few days
after the death of Mrs. Walcker-Hoch.
In her testimony the witness explained
in minute detail all the circumstances
surrounding the death of her sister
but there was nothing in the evidence
to prove that Hoch was responsible
for the woman's death.

Teachers Are Attending TO
The Number Of One
Hundred.
LECTURE FOR TONIGHT.
Exercises To-day VIII Be
Appropriate To the Natal
Day.

The city is full of pedagogues.
The occasion is the opening of the
Christian County Teachers Institute,
under the management of the coun-
ty superintendent, Miss Katie Nc
Daniel. The meetings will continue
through the week up to and includ-
ing Friday afternoon.
The institute was called to order
yesterday morning and after organi-
cation the teachers present enrolled
their names. This will, perhaps. be
the fullest attendance in the history
of the institute.
1t is estimated that over one hun
dred teachers will attend the sessions
of the institute.
Yesterday morning the county
superintendent made a few general
remarks, which were full Of logic
and instruction to all in attendance
showing Miss McDaniePs peculiar
fitness for the position which she
has filled so admirably for the past
twelve years.
She was followed by an introduc-
tory address by the instructor of the
institute, DR.. r. N. Roark.
The exercises of the afternoon
consisted of a symposium on school
management, led by the instructor,
and discussion of the normal school
question in Kentucky.
This morning will be recognized
as national day. The court room
will be decorated with the national
colors, patriotic songs will be sung,
and the 4th otherwise observed.
The court room will be packed to-
night to hear DR.. Roark's great adj
dress, entitled Face to Face with
Here and Now" All who fail to
hear this will miss one of the best
addresses ever delivered in the city.
The full program of the institute
will be found elsewhere in this
paper.
