Mrs. Hodge Died In Hospital

Salt Lake, Dec. 2.--Mrs. Aurora Hodge, the young woman awaiting trial for the murder of William X. Ryan in this city last July, died at a hospital last night from the effects of an operation performed Sunday night. Mrs. Hodge's home was in Dennison, Iowa. A few months ago she startled the police authorities of Grand Rapids, Mich., by appearing at police headquarters in that city and announcing that she wished to be arrested for the murder of a man in Salt Lake. At the preliminary trial in this city, however, she entered a plea of not guilty.
