process of law. All efforts were fruit
less.
Assistant States Attorney Olson has
complied an authentic account of
Hoch's known marriages. The fig
ures show that in marrying career
of 10 years Hoch took unto himself
IL wives, four of whom died short
ly after the marriage.
The desperate legal fight waged by
Hoch and his attorneys to secure a
new trial or pardon resulted in plac-
ing Hoch three times in the shadow
of the gallows instead of once. and ex-
tending his life eight months.
Hoch was originally indicted for
bigamy on January %. and on Feb
ruary 10 the indictment for the MUIR
der of Mrs. Marie Walcker-H och fol-
lowed, and on March 8 he was rein
dicted Application for the prisoners
release on habeas corpus writ failed.
He was sentenced to be hanged Fri
day, June 49,
Fight for Life Begun.
1t was then that tfs intricacies Of
the law were appealed to in the effort
to save Hoch's life The first step was
a personal appeal by Hochs attorney,
Isadore Plotke, to Gov. Deneen. Two
days before the day set for the hang
ing Mr.. Plotke told the governor that
Hoch was not religious1y prepared to
die and that If the time was extended
Hoch would prove his innocence be-
yond doubt. Hoch's execution was
stayed until Friday, July %. On that
day money needed to secure supreme
court trial was furnished Hoch by
Mrs. Cora Wilson. charity worker.
Mr.. Plotke accepted the offer, and
Mr.. Thompson brought bank notes
over to The courthouse and laid them
before State's Attorney Healy Gov.
Deneen. who was ct Springfield, said
that he was satisfied, and Hoch's sec
ond reprfeve was granted, until Au-
gust Is. The stay came less than an
hour before the drop WAS to fall.
Attorneys Frank d. Cemefford and
Julius Neiger then came into the ease
and took up the motion for writ of
error to the supreme court. On Au-
gust "a Justice Magruder granted a
supersedeas and Hoch's execution was
stayed. On December 1G the supreme
court affirmed the prisoners convic-
fion for wife muFder and declared
t5oeh must hang February 90
An hope of new trial having
PASSED Gov: Deaeen was appealed 20
for pardon. Fhe governor referred
tNe case TO the Daften board. 1t was
aoain argued and the beatd absolutely
refused to grant the application.

over whom he triumphs and every one else. A man
cannot honestly get to and keep at the top of a great BUSH
ness without introducing into it economics or improved
methods which benefit his customers and the public. He
cannot honestly get TO and keep at the top of his profess
sion, whether 1t be that of lawyer, physician, engineer, or
statesman, without rendering services that rebound to the
advantage of the community.
The public does not think things out fast. but usually In
the emu 1t gets around to the right conclusion. Under the
influence of the classic English political economy, which
came near teaching that everything economic that is is
right, there long existed Il tendency to regard every man
who achieved large material success as a kind of public
benefactor. 1t has lately dawned on the popular con-
seriousness that a man may amass wealth and give en-
ployment to thousands of people and still be only a public
robber-a human beast that preys. 1t seems likely, there
fore, that hereafter a healthier public sentiment regarding
the struggle for success will exist. There will be, as
there should be, a disposition to measure a mans genius
and claims to public respect less by the results he achieves
and more by the way be achieves them.-Chicago
