Hoch Took It Back After His wife
Died.

Chicago, May 6.=The first mention
OF multiple marriage contracts by
Bluebeard Hoch came during the trial
today when Assistant States Attorney
Olsen asked that the marriage law of
pennsylvania be admitted in evidence
nthe testimony of Detective Ed Cor
man OF Philadelphia, who was best
man at the marriage of Hoch and
Carolina Speicher in Philadelphia
snort time before Hoch came to Chi
cago- The object of this move, ac-
cording to Assistant States Attorney
olsen, was a desire to prove that
boch, after marrying Caroline Speich-
er had left her had taken all her
savings with him, and had come to
chicago and married Mrs. Welker.
rms testimony, it was claimed would
tend to show that the motive Hoch had
in killing Mrs. Welker Hoch was to
secure her money as it is alleged he had
done in the case of his other wives.
Judge Kersten granted the request and
German was allowed to take the stand.
German testified that he had been
present as best man at the marriage of
Hoch whom he knew as John Schmidt,
to Caroline Speicher, at Philadelphia on
October 20, 1904. German said Hoch
lived with the woman for ten days and
then suddenly left the state.
Lyte H. Parsons, paying teller of the
Home Savings bank Of this city, where
both Mrs. Welker Hoch and her sister,
Mrs. Fischer Hoch had their savings
on deposit, testified that on December
Is, 1904, HOch called at the bank with
Mrs. Welker Hoch and withdrew all the
savings of Mrs. Welker Hoch, amount
ing to S27O. On January 19, 1905, Hoch,
according to Parsons, appeared at the
bank again, this time with Mrs. Fischer
Hoch, and Withdrew all the money on
deposit belonging to Mrs. Fischer Hoeh,
amounting to $3.50.
Tobias B. Musser, a bartender at a sa-
loon where Hoch bought seltzer water for
Mrs Walker, testified that Hoch had told
him that kls wife had been sick for eight
years and that he had lost three children
during that time Musser stated that on
the day after Mrs. Welker Hoch' 5 death,
Hoch came to the saloon and returned two
bottles of seltzer water, with the remark:
We'll, she is dead, and I don't need this
any more"
