Johann Hocll. tonvlt-teti murderer
and confessed bigamlst, condemned to
.die today for killing one of his many
wives. was in some respects a most
remarkable criminal.
The exact number of women he mar—
rlad probably never will be known, but
he is reported to have had more than
a. score of wives In the last ten years.
Seven of this number he wedded in
this city, some of whom are said to
have died under suspicious clrcum~
stances.
Mrs. Marie Welkcr lioch, for whose
murder Hoch was sentenced to hang
today, died of arsenical poisoning af-
ter a short Illness December to of last
year. Preceding her death, he had
obtained front tile woman all her mou~
ey, as he had done in most of his pre-
vious marriages. Five days after her
death he married her sister. Mrs. Emil
Fibber, his last wife, as far as the
- record now shown. and the day follow-
ing the wedding he obtained from her
3750 to be used, he said, in paying
' the mortgage on the furniture. and
house where he lived. A day or twu
later he disappeared ulltl Mrs. Fisher

the evidence, having reached a verdict
in two or three hours. He denied the
stories of his many wives and all he
would admit was that he had commit—
ted bigamy once.
Little is known concerning Iloch's
relatives, as he has steadfastly decline
on to tell Sheriff Barrett, who hatL
charge of the arrangements for the
execution. anything concerning him-
self. His only confidant has been his
spiritual adviser. the Rev. Auguste
Schiechte.
Hoch was recently granted a re-
prieve that he might carry his case to
the Supreme Court, but he failed to
raise the ntu‘essary fllllds and the
governor refused further to interfere.
Three hours before the time set for
his execution. “Bluebeard” Johann
Hoch, the wife murderer. had not g|v~
on up hope of clemency. Although
there seemed little probability for In-
terfcrence by the state as the result
of the action of Governor Deneen and
the‘state board of pardons in refus-
ing him further reprieve, Hoch be-
llevcd he had yet a chance for life.
lioch slept quite soundly during the
night. lie awoke only once in the
morning. about 3 o'clock and com-
plained of having a feeling of itali-
sea. After he had been relieved he
retired again and soon fell asleep. Ho
arose at. his usual hour and declined
the comparatively sumptuous meal
given all prisoners In the jail here. He
said coffee. and rolls were good enough
for him out] this was given to the
condemned man.
Hoch at this time appeared cheery as
possible under the circumstances and
chatted pleasantly with the guards as
signed as the death watch.
Much has been a model prisoner and
the jail guards have been particularly
friendly to him. After breakfast. they
presented him with a bouquet of nas-
turtlunls. Several bouquets were. sent
to him from outsiders. but .Iailcr Whit-
mtrn and Sheriff Barrett refused to
allow them to be sent to his cell, not
wishing to risk the possibility of a
concealed poison. it was raining hard
and as lioch heard the putter he be.-
moaned the gloomy day. “i fear that.
It is going against me." he told the
guard.
'I‘o Assistant. Jaller O'Neill he said
he felt fine. As a night guard bid him
goodbye. Hoch said:
"What‘s the. matter. I'm not going
yet. If they hang me today they will
murder an innocent. man. Let them
go ahead."
lint-b then put on a black suit anti
black scarf. lie packed his low be-
longings. saying he might be able to
use them yet. He gave Guard Sullivan
a photograph of himself and wife, Mrs.
Emilia Fisher liocli, sister of the wo-
man for whose murder he was to
hang.
Among the few callers admitted to
sec him were Rev. Augusto Schlechte.
his spiritual adviser, who aided him in
his effort to raise funds to carry his
case to the Supreme Court. and Rev.
H. I". anrtel pastor of thc Evangelical
Lutheran Church. and his attorncy.
To the ministers he spoke of his re-
grcl‘ that .lhe funds could not be ob-
tained. As the time for the hanging
approached Hoch grew somewhat. less
buoyant in spirit. and began slowly to
lose the slight hope he. had held out.
lie reiterated that he Was innocent of
murder and would admit only the
charge of higamy against him.
