HocH WILLING TO RETURN.
Has No Intention Of Resisting Transfer
to Chicago.

NEW YORK. January 31:-Johann Hoch
of Chicago. who was arrested here last
night charged with bigamy and wife aoan-
donment, after search extending over the
entire continent. told the officials at police
headquarters today that he is anxious to
return to Chicago at once.
He wanted to face the charges against
him in that city, he said. and has no inten-
ton of opposing extraditon. Hoch was
photographed for the rogues' gallery be-
fore being taken to court.
Thought to Have Killed Twelve.
CHICAGO, January 31.-Chief of Police
O'Neill today declared his belief that Jo-
hann Adolph Hoch, alleged to have been
married to over score of women mas
murdered at least twelve of them. This
statement was made by Chief ONeill In
letter written by him to Capt. James J.
Langan of the detective bureau of New
York, In which he requested the police de-
partment of that city to follow. a clew
given through an anonymous letter re-
ceived by Inspector of Police Shippy from
woman living at the Belvidere Hotel New
York. In this letter 1t is intimated that
Hoch married two New York women.
whom he has abandoned.
An attempt was made to have Hoch IN
dicted by the grand jury today on charges
of wife abandonment and bigamy. The
compliments were Mrs. Amelia Augusta
Fischer Hoch, Mrs. Anna Hen6rickson
Hoch and Mrs Marie Goerk Hoch. 1t was
found, however that in bigamy cases the
wife cannot testify against her husband
and that witnesses to the marriages must
be secured before action can be- taken. As
the marriages took place in various parts
of the country, time will be required in
which to secure witnesses to give testimony
against Hoch sufficient to indict him.
Inquest Over Alleged Hoch Victim.
DR.. c. W. Lewke. coroners physi-
clan. said today that he would ask
for continuance of the inquest over
the body Of Mrs. Marie Walcker Hoch..
whose death led to the revelations Of the
much-married life Of Johann Hoch. The
physician has not completed the chemical
ask for more time.
There is a possibility Of the analysis
amounting to something" said DR.. Lewke.
THE chemical analysis when completed
ought to settle the question whether the
woman died naturally or not. After / fin
ish my work an expert will go over 1t and
will give me confirmatory report. All this
takes time
Unless the physician finds some trace of
poison in the womans stomach hope Of con-
victing Hoch of murder will be practically
gone. There will, however, remain many
charges of swindling and bigamy on which
Hoch will be prosecuted. 1t will probably
be two weeks before Hoch Is brought back
to Chicago unless he valves extraditiOn.
