NOT REQUIRED TO SWEAR.
Matter of Making Oath Left to the
Packers Themselves.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Evidence was in
troduced by the government yester-
day tending to show that the matter
of testifying under oath or not during
the investigation conducted by Com
missioner Garfield had been LETT to the
packers themselves. 1t was claimed
by District Attorney Morrison that
this provided that the packers were
not under compulsion when they gave
their information TO agents of the
government Evidence relative to the
packers declining to give evidence I'M
der oath was submitted in the shape
of a telegram from Special Agent Du-
rand to Garfield, in which 1t was said
that A. H. Veeder, counsel for Swift
& Co., and himself now under indict-
ment in connection with the case, had
advised members of Swift & Co. not to
give evidence under oath, as it might
later be used against them. The eX-
animation of Garfield was concluded
in the afternoon and Special Agent
Durand followed him on the stand.

More Hpnefnl in Berlin.

Berlin. Fen. 2S.-The Sued Deutsche
Reichs Correspondent of Karlsruhe,
which has a reputation of being the
purveyor of Chancellor Won BueIOw's
views on foreign politics, maintains d
much more hopeful attitude relative
to the Algeciras conference than the
latest utterances of the French press.
The Correspondent depreciates the
assertion that the conference is about
ito disband because Of a hopeless dis
agreement, and says its continuance
is assured for the present, adding that
the intrinsic reasonableness Of
things" TO use Gambetta's phrase,
speaks a hasty breaking off of deliber-
atoms, and It viii not come to that
unless influences gain the upper hand
which shall make of the Morocco
question plaything for political pas
sions."
The Correspondent says the bank
question no longer IS mere diplo-
matte duel between France and Ger
many exclusively, but that the mate
nal interests of number of other
powers weigh against the special
Claims Of France in the bank ques.

left her the day after because she re-
fused to give him money. In April,
1896. he married Martha Hertzfeld,
and left her in four months after OBJ
tanning 5000. His next wife was
Mary Hoch of Wheeling, w. Va. She
died Of nephritis after three months.
Hoch always denied this marriage, and
declared that he merely assumed the
woman's name. Later in 1896 he mar
ried Clara Bartell of Cincinnati, and
she died within three months. In
January, 1897, he was married to
Julia Dose at Hamilton, and aban-
doned her after obtaining $500. In
1898 he was arrested in Chicago for
selling mortgaged furniture, and
served two years in the house of cor
rection. In November, 1901, he was
married to Mrs. Anna Goehrke of Chi
cago but abandoned her after failing
to obtain money. Aprile s, 1902, he
was married in st. Louis to Mrs. Mary
Becker who died early in 1908. Her
relatives claim she was poisoned.
December 10, 1904 Hoch was mar
ried to Mrs. Marie Welcker a Chicago
widow, the woman for whose murder
he was condemned. December 20
the woman became i'll, and January
II she died, the cause of death being
stated in the physicians certificate,
as nephritis. Five days later Hoch
married Mrs. Emile Fischer, sister
of Mrs Welcker-Hoch. He obtained
$3.50 from her and disappeared. jan
uary 10 the last Mrs. Hoch reported to
the police the disappearance of her
husband. Suspicion was aroused by
her story, and the body of Mrs.
Welcker-Hoch was exhumed, and
much arsenic was round in the
stomach. Search was then made for
Hoch and he was discovered in New
York, where his landlady, Mrs. Kim
merly, reported that she believed her
bOarder to be Hoch, because he had
proposed marriage to her on the day
Of his arrival. He was arrested and
later brought to Chicago.
Hoch admitted that he had been
married thirteen times, but always
denied 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 a verdict finding him
guilty of murder. June sentence
was passed on him, the date of the
execution being first set for June %.

WISCONSIN LIFE OFFICIALS GET
NO PAY.
FREAR ASKS QUESTIONS
Chairman of Legislative investigating
Committee Conducts Examination
Madison Company's Manager Acts
in Various Capacities Without Ex-
ira Compensation.
Madison, Feb. IS.


The legislative insurance investig1-
ton committee devoted itself yester-
day to the examination of Rasmus B.
Anderson. president Of the Wisconsin
Life of Madison, and OF A. r. Bush
nell. counsel of the company. The
examination is conducted by Chair
man Frear, in the presence of the en-
tire committee, and such others as
desire to be present. The eXamina-
ton developed the fact that the Mad
ison company pays no salaries except
for the officers who devote their time
to the work. G. NJ. Putnam, secre-
tary, gets $125 a month, and J. L.
henderson, actuary, gets $500
month. Other officers are paid their
actual expenses and some are carried
by the company without paying pre-
miums on their small policies. Such
a case is that of Mr. Bushnell. He
formerly was carried on a policy OF
$4,000. but mas since voluntarily re-
duced it to $4,000. Much detailed in
formation was brought out as to the
dS0lCl6S Ol IIlC COIupr lcJCo VI
compensation for new business, prox-
les and methods of voting them, and
also concerning the manner of con-
Quoting the annual meetings.
Rasmus B. Anderson, president Of
the company, was the first witness.
He said that he knew but little of the
details of the organization. He stat
ed, however, chat the directors must
meet annually.
He further stated that the secretary
C. NJ. Putnam, also attended to the
duties of head bookkeeper. He said
that Mr.. Henderson, the new manager
who took hold of things last October.
received $500 a month. and that the
manager also acted as superintendent
and actuary without additional salary
Mr.. Anderson stated that he never
received a cent from the company for
anything other than the writing Of
policies.

Legal Struggle for Delay of Execution
Continues Even After the Bigam-

Supplies Dramatic End by Prayer
for Forgiveness of Officials.

Chicago. Feb. 24.-Johann HOch.
convicted murderer, confessed bigam-
ist. and who, if but a fraction Of the
stories of crime told of him are true,
was one of the greatest criminals
this country mas ever known, was
hanged ia the county jail yesterday
for poisoning one Of his wives, Marie
Welcker Hoch. He faced death calm
!y and without fear He stood on
the scaffold beneath the dangling
moose in the attitude and with the
placid courage of a soldier who real
ICES to the full that death is his por-
ton but is still unafraid. He died
with a prayer on his lips for the of
fcers of the law who TOOK his life and
save for the words good bye" his
last utterance was an assertion that
he was innocent Of the crime for
which he paid the extreme penalty OF
the law.
The last scene in the career OF
Hoch came at 1874 in the afternoon
while his attorneys were still making
desperate efforts for little more time
on earth for him. His death, the
lawyers say, has not ended the appeal
made in his behalf, and although the
man himself is dead they promise to
carry it to the supreme court of the
United States and if it is there decid-
ed that he was unlawfully hanged,
proceedings will be commenced
against the officers who oficiated at
the execution.

BARELY ESCAPE

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 2S.-Five
minutes after 500 factory girls had
marched out of the Star Ship com
pany's factory yesterday the building
was a roaring furnace and within an
hour it was in ruins. When some OF
the girls from the upper floors
reached the second story the sight OF
the smoke frightened them and about
20 became panic stricken. These
we're taken from windows to the
ground by fremen. All the other girls
continued quietly on their march.
Mrs. Jennie Heaphy, AZ years old, one
of the operatives, became so excited
that she collapsed and died soon aft
erwards. The fire caused a loss of
$4,000.

ATTEMPT TO BURN
SLEEPING BOYS

Shreveport, La, Feb. 28.-An unsuc-
'ccssful attempt was made by an in
Monday night to burn the
boys hall of the Louisiana Industrial
school at Ruston. Piles of excelsior
and shavings saturated with kerosene
were fired under the building and the
timely discovery of the blaze by one
of the occupants of the building pre-
vented a conflagration which probably
would have cost many lives. Eighty
boys were asleep in the building at
the time the attempt to burn the place
was made.
