EVIDENCE AGAINST HOCH.
Two Women Testify in Murder Trial
at Chicago.

Chicago, May 3.-The strongest evil
dence given during the day against
Johann Hoch. on trial for murder, was
that of Mrs. Amelia Sauerbroche, who
told of a quarrel between Mrs. Emile
Fischer-Hoch, a sister of Mrs. Marie
Welker-Hoch, and Mrs. Bertha Sohn,
a sister of both women. Mrs. Sauer-
broche declared that she heard Mrs.
Sohn berate Mrs. Fischer-HOch for
marrying Hoch so soon after the death
of Mrs. Welker-Hoch. She declared
that in her opinion Hoch had poisoned
their sister. Mrs. Sauerbroche left the
women while they were quarreling
and, as she was going out met Hoch
coming in. She told him to keep away
as Mrs. Sohn was accusing him of
murder. Hoch turned pale, and trem-
bled SO greatly that he was compelled
to seize a chair to keep from falling,
the witness declared. That night he
left Chicago and nothing was heard of
him until he was arrested in New York.
Mrs. Annie PelZ, friend of Mrs.
Marie Welker-Hoch, testified that
Hoch gave his wife medicine, and that
Mrs. TIoch declared it made her worse.
