MAN OF MANY WIVES.
Hoch, the Suspect, Believed to Be No
torious Woman Murderer.

CHICAGO, January 26-Belief that Jo-
hann Hoch, the man of many wives, may
prove to be the elusive and mysterious Ed
ward Hatch. accomplice of H. H. Holmes.
the notorious woman murderer, whose
crimes created excitement all over the
United States and Canada in 1885, has led
the police to begin an investigation along
that line.
At the time Holmes made his confessions,
when in prison at Philadelphia, Hatch was
generally regarded by the police as myth
ical character invented by Holmes, but
since that time there have been reveIa-
tions which are almost convincing that
there was man named Hatch who did
operate with Holmes in his swindles and
who aided him in making away with the
lives of the women and children whom he
murdered.
Because of the similarity of Hoch's OPP
GRAFTON with the criminal record of H. II.
Holmes, the cleverness with which Hoch
apparently disposed of many of his wives
and other similar circumstances which the
police refuse to divulge, they are working
to establish the fact that there was an Ed
ward Hatch--name sometimes said to have
been spelled Hotch-and that he is Johann
Hoch, the man now being hunted.
That Hoch used the name Hatch or

Basso, citizen of Porto Rico, for the re-
turn of $1,000, which he is alleged to have
paid as duty on a case of scissors imported
to the island of Porto Rico in 1900. The
claim of Mr.. Basso involves the question
of the citizenship of natives or residents
of the island in the United States.
According to the petition of the claimant
IN this case, he imported case of scissors
in 1900 and was arraigned for attempting
to evade customs duties. This charge was
based on the order of the governor general
OF the island regarding the customs duties,
and was tried in due time in the local
court. A fine of $500 was imposed, and
the claimant paid the fine. He now brings
action in the Court of Claims for the re
covery of the money on the ground that
Porto Rico was part of the United States
at the time the fine was imposed and that
the collection of the customs duties on the
case OF scissors was not in accordance with
the law. The claimant was REPRESENTED in
court by Attorney Henry M. Ward of New
York, and the government by Capt Felix
Brannagan, assistant attorney general.
