In November, 1901, he was mar
Iried to Mrs. Anna Goehrke, Of Chi
cago. but abandoned her after fail
ling to obtain any money from her.
April s., 1902, he married in st.
Louis, Mrs. Mary Becker who died
,arly in 1908. Her relatives have
claimed that she was poisoned.
December 10, 1904, Hoch was
married to Mrs. Marie Welcker, a
widow Of this city, the woman for
whose murder he was condemned.
Dec. 20 the woman became Ill, and
Jan. IL she died, the cause Of death
being stated in the physicians GER
'tifcate as nephritis. Five days
later IIoch married Mrs. Emile
Fischer. a sister Of Mrs. WelcSer-
llfoch. He obtained $3.50 from her
and disappeared. Jan. 19Ihe last
Mrs. Hoch reported to the police.
the disappearance Of her husband.
Suspicion was,aroused by her story,
and the body Of Mrs. Wclcker-H och
was exhumed, and 7.6 grains Of ar
senic were found in the stomach.
Search was made for Hoch and he
was finally discovered in New York,
where his landlady, Mrs. Kimberly,
reported that she believed her
boarder to be Hoch, because he had
proposed marriage tother on the day
|of his arrival in her House. He was
arrested and later brought to Chi
'cago.
Hoch, after being placed in jail
here, admitted that he had been mar
ried thirteen times, but always deni-
led that he had caused the death OF
any of his wives. He was placed on
trial April 10, and on May 20 the
Jury returned verdict finding him
guilty of murder, and fixing the pun
ishment at death. On June 3, sem
tcnce was passed on him, the date
Of execution being set for June %.
Governor Dencen granted him re-
prieve until July 90. Within one
hour of the time set for his execution
Hoch was given a second respite un-
iii August 25. Before this date ar
rived. however, the supreme court
of the state granted a superscaeas to
permit of the consideration of his
case by the court. On December / A
the court handed down decision
affirming the verdict in the lower
court, and fixing the date OF eXecu-
ton for Feb. 20.
The last effort made by Hoch to
secure a new trial ended on February
81, when Governor Dcneen, and the
board of paldons refused to inter
fere in his behalf. 1t was alleged
before the board, by Mrs. Fischer
.lIoch, that she had been'so bounded
by tile police that she had commit
ted perjury during the trial, and
that much Of the evidence which she
had given against Hoeh. was not
true. A physician also declared
that the death of Mrs. Welcller-
IIoch had bscn caused by kidney
disease, and rot BY arseniei poison
ING. On cross discrimination before
the board. however, he admitted that
he had not made a post-mortcm en-
animation of the body of Mrs.
Welcker-H och, while three physi-
clans who had conducted such an
examination declared that death
was caused by arsenic.

QUESTION OF LONGEST p
Why the Government Never Collecte.
That $40 Fine,

An official of the United State
court for the Southern District Of
Georgia tells an interesting anecdote
OF Emory Speer, who presides with
dignity, even with grace, over the
bench of that tribunal. The trial of
an alleged counterfeiter had occupied
the attention of the court all morning
and, in order to dispose of the case
during the day, the court ordered an
afternoon session.
Promptly at o'clock Judge Speer
was on the bench, but no prisoner,
no marshal, was present. At 1925
marshal and prisoner came strolling
leisurely along into the courtroom
the prisoner had been allowed a lit
tie exercise in company with the mar
shall, during the dinner hour.
"Will the marshal kindly explain
WHY he has thus delayed the court"
asked Judge Speer.
"Your Honor, understood the court
took recess until $50 D. H." was the
morqhal's excuse.
"The marshal should not under
stand; he should know" said che
court. "Mr. Clerk you will enter 6
fine Of $40 against the marshal foi
his carelessness. Proceed with the
trial"
1t was perhaps an hour later, when,
during the examination of an impor-
tant witness the case, the ma rshal
was seen in subdued but earnest con-
versation with the Judge. In a mo-
ment the proceedings of the court
were stopped and the judge turned to
sAe clerk.
"Mr. Clerk" he said, you will erase
that fine against the marshal. He Is
W here trying to borrow money from
me and the government can better
afford to lose it than : gan. Pro
coed with the case"
