PROSECUTION OF 111TCHBLL.
He VIII Get a Speedy Trial if He De-
 slres One.

Portland. Ore, Jan. 21.-Dispatches from Washington have been published here to the effect that Senator Mitchell will return to Portland to insist upon an early trial, information having reached him that the prosecution is in no hurry to bring him to trial. and that an official closely connected with the prosecutions of the land fraud cases has advised friends in this city that Senator Mitchell will not be brought to trial for at least year. Francis J. Heney, who Is prosecuting the land fraud conspiracy cases for the Gov ernment, when shown the Washington dispatch today. said:
 eff any person made such a state ment it is utterly without foundation. The prosecution refrained from caus- ing the arrest of either Senator Mitchell or Congressman Herman, because both of them express anxiety to reach Wash ington to attend to public business.
 "As prosecuting officer concluded to await the adjournment of Congress be- fore pressing their case for trial. I am ready and more than willing to give each of these gentlemen a speedy trial, and the prosecution will urge the trial of their cases at the earliest day the court can take them up in the next term, commencing April 1, 1905."

UP-TO-DATE BLUEBEARD
JOHN HOCH BELIEVED TO HAVE
 MURDERED WIVES.
Also Had . Habit of Getting Married and Disappearing in . Few Days With the vo-
 mnm'9 Money.

Chicago. Jan. 2l.--The police declare that John Hoch. who married his dead wifcS sister two days after the funeral and is alleged to have disappeared with her savings the next day. has been married at least three times. Stories of numerous other wives are also un- der investigation. .Hoch has not been spprehended.
 Hoch Is thought by the police to be wanted in connection with the mar riage eight months ago in South Chi cago of a woman whose husband se- cured $500 and then disappeared. and another marriage in Evanston, where the bride intrusted $1,0o0 to her hus- band who then left her.
 A third case with which the police also hope to connect Hoch, is that of a wealthy Milwaukee woman who met through an advertisement the man who afterwards became her husband. This woman, it is said, died under myste- rious circumstances shortly after her marriage. Like Hoch, the culprit in each case is an expert on the zither and there is a close resemblance in other respects, as shown by photographs in the hands of the police.
 The body of the deceased Mrs. Hoch was exhumed this afternoon for the purpose of ascertaining if possible the cause of her death.
 It has been developed that Hoch. in advertising through a German paper for a wife shortly before he married the woman whose body was exhumed today, stated that he was a widoweI 43 years old. worth $S,000 and needed somebody to make home comfortable.
