SEARCHING FOR nOCH
The Man Who Married Many Wives and
Swindled Them Said to Be In Argos.

The story OF finding John HOch Of
Chicago, q much-married man and
swindler. at Argos, seems to be with
out foundation. The Chicago police
are making every effort to apprehend
the sxindler and it is understood that
Capt. Shippy, of the Chicago police has
been in Argos following up some clues
The information from Argos was giy-
en- by Marshal Hagsnbush, who dis
covered a stranger there that answer
ed to Hoch's description. II has de-
veloped today that the suspected man
is not Hoch. Marshal Hagenbush
says there is proof that Hoch is or
has been In Argos.
In regard to the widow, Mrs. Mary
Schultz, whose photo has been pub
lished as one of the women married
and victlmized by Hoch, there could
be no direct information given as to
her ever having lived at Argos. The
story Is that Hoch married her four
years ago under the name Of Busch
berg, and obtained $4,000 insurance
money left by her first husband, an6
that in June, 1900. she with her FIVE
year-old daughter disappeared and
nothing has been heard of him by bel
relatives since that time.
Marshall Hagerman has tried, but
without success, to find out something
about the woman, but the people Of
Argos do not seem 20 know of the
woman. 1t was claimed bv one per
son that a woman of that name, with
child, lived in the extreme NORTH
part of the town four or live years age
which is all that could be learned
The case of Hoch is attracting wide
attention.
