who so brutally murdered Mrs. Bell
who was captured three miles from
Kilg-ore, has been burned at the i-take.
He offered no resistance when cap
tured. Hoon after the officers had him
handcuffed a mob of some ioo men,
i -1 . -
iieavny armea, arrivea on the scene
and domanded immediate possession ot
the prisoner, which was readily niven.
I he mob then went to the scene of the
murder. Hie crowd continued to
gather at the scene of the horrible
crime until nearly 2, (mm) citizens of Ty
ler and vicinity were there. A few
moments before the fiend was brought
at the place a meeting was held and a
committee was appointed to investigate
his identity. Witnesses were sum
moned and closely interrogated. The
result was a thorough identification.
In a few moments the ofiieer approach
ed from over the hill, followed by :;0
determined, well-armed men. VVben
near the scene the officers were over
powered and disarmed and the negro,
Henry Hiliiard, brought before the
committee. He made a full confession,
in subtauce as follows:
"I was coming down the road and
paw Mrs. Bell in the road She was
scared of me, and I knew that if I
passed her she would say I tried to rape
ht-r, and I concluded that I would rape
her and then kill her. I cut her throat
and cut her in another place and left."
He wrote a note to his wife and gave
it to the sheriff. It read as follows:
'I am arrested by 'Wig' Smith. You
know what they will do with me. If I
don't see yon any more, good bye."
After his open confession and the
thorough identity, a vote was taken a.
to" the niode of punishment. It was
unanimously agreed to burn him and it
was agreed that he should suffer his
penalty on the public square The
march was then made to Tyler and
wnen tne hea.l of the line entered the
maiu plaza no less than T.iKxi people
were assen.bled.
Bar-e crowds of ladies and children
were congregated cn the awnings sur
rounding the public - plaza. Wagons,
carriages, trees and buildings were converted-
into grand stand -i and were
thronged.
A scaffold was erected in the center
of the square. Wagons laden with
kindling wood, coal oil and straw were
driven to the scene and p need in posi
tion. The negro was then given an op
portunity to speak, but his words were
inaudible, but vii.:u he oiTered up his
last prayer on earth he could be hear.)
for several blocks. He was then la.shed
to the iron rail that extended through
the platform. Mr. Bell, the husband
of the murdered lady, applied the
match and the flames hot npward, en
veloping the brute in sheets of fire.
He begged for mercy and it was meted
out to him just as he was merciful to
the pure, innocent woman whose soul
he had sent to heaven.
It was determined to burn him at
once, but the tire was frequently
quenched, and after the last piece of
wood was burned, in a few momenta
the fire was started again. From the
time the match was applied until his
death was exactly 50 minutes.
The I. & (f. N. southbonnd train was
crowded with people from the towns
north. Hundreds of negroes witnessed
the execution, and representative
negroes expressed their indorsement of
the punishment. The oUicers were
lowerlesa and the sherirf wired the
governor, but his message was too lat
All business houses and factories closed
and tne big Cotton Belt shops were de-
sertea.
A special from Kilgore tells this story
vi i ue crime: .Mrs. lie II, who had been
visiting her mother a short distance
from home, was on her return when
met by the negro. What occurred can
only be told by the evidence given bv
' the dead lody of the lady. The ground
showed that she had struggled for her
honor, and the condiri-.u of the body
told of the cruelty that has only been
equaled by -Jack the Kipper." After
outraging the body the negro delib
erately cut her throat, and then, taking
his knife, ripped up her body A posse
was quickly organized, led by Deputy
Smith of Tyler, who, with lanterns in
hand and aided by a hound, tracked
the negro to within four miles of this
place, where they found him fast asleep
in a cotton pen. The negro's clothing
was still covered wirh bloo.l. winch he
had attempted to v::.-h out.

In llurrjiul's Trial.
Sax Fh.'.m !.- o. Oft. :;o. The cloe
of the arguments for the I'.t-fense in the
trial of TJieo'lore Dr. riant was marked
by the greatest irowd that ever fought
for adnsissitn to a li.unler trial in this
city, .tudge, jury, court otiicers and
attorneys s-Trupgled for nearly an houi
in a surging throi.g cf men and women
who crowded through the corridors
leading to the oouitrom. The sherill
and his deputies were not uble to con
trol the ir.ob, and a reqni.--ition was
made on the chief of police for a squad
of i0 men. Kopes were stretched
across the corridors and an effort made
to keep the people back, but the ropes
were brushed a.-:de as easily as pieces
of twine miL'iit have been. "The crowd
was finally disj-rsed without the neces
sity of making any arrets.
General Dickinson liuished his argu
ment for the defense. The only signi
ficant feature of his remarks was the
suggestion that Miss Baniont was prob
ably murdered by two men instead of
one.
Attorney" Denprey said Durrant was
an innocent victim of circumstances
and begged the jury to riht the great
wrong tiiat had already been done the
prisoner by acquitting him as speedily
as possible. .No evidence had been in
troduced which he believed established
the fact that Durrant strangled Miss
Bamont. The same amount of energy
directed towards casting suspicion upon
the Rev. John (ieorge tiibsoii, he be
lieved, would have developed as strong
a case against the clergyman. At the
same time, Mr. Deuprey expresses the
belief that the minister had nothing to
do with the murder.
THE VENEZUELAN AFFAIR.
An Answer From Sal islmry May lte fiiven
Soon or M ay He Ielayetl.
London-, Oct. :;0. The United States
ambassador, the Hon. Thomas F. Bay
ard, who has been visiting Sir John
Pender, will return to towu tomorrow
and will start for Scotland next week.
He will probably be away from Loudon
during most of the mouth of Novem
ber. The stories about Mr. Bayard delay
ing his departure owing to his expect
ing the Man;uis ot' Salisbury's reply to
the note of the United States regarding
enezuela are unfounded. It is gen
erally believed that the premier is
awaiting the arrival hereof Sir Charles
Cameron Lees, the governor of British
(iuiana, who has been called home, and
the return to town of the secretary of
state for the colonies. Mr. .losepli
Chamberlain, beiore replying to the
American note. But it is probabie that
there is some significance in the action
of the Marquis of Salisbury in post
poning his regular reception to the
members of tin diplomatic corps, which
was to have taken place today, and it is
considered likely that the reply will be
sent before the postponed reception is
held.

HOLMES BACKS 110111
He Gives Up and Sends For His
Lawyers.
DAJIAGIXU EVIDENCE IS GIVTA.
This and the Tremendous Machinery
of the Cununnn-atlli Fvideutly Ap
palled Him A l'irfure cf His Victim
Sits Facing Him lu the Courtroom.
Philadelphia, Oct. SO. It has be
come apparent that the picturesque and
startling features of il. H. Holmes' ca
reer are not M l confined to his de
structive wanderings over the Ameri
can continent, for with each successive
day comes something 1 111 more strange
and unexpected.
After fighting tooth and nail single
handed against the tremendous ma
chinery of the commonwealth and the
apparently complete chain of evidence
which has been forged around him, he
has thrown up his liands and sent for
his lawyers, Messrs. Shoemaker and
Rotan. Then he told the court what
he had dune, and a reluctant consent to
their continuing with the defense was
given. There was an impression that
this was but another piece of by-play
following Holmes' personal failure to
catch the sympathy of the court and
jury by making himself out a much
wronged man, forced to fight alone
what may prove to be his last battle, in
spite of his ignorance of the technicali
ties of the law and his alleged physi
cal infirmity.
Holmes privately said that the prep
aration of his case in his cell had kept
him up until. 4 o'clock in the morning.
and then he was roused from bed two
hours later. In addition to this, he
had not eaten anything from the night
before until 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
It was after making this statement that
he seut for his counsel. Up to that
time there had been a general impres
sion that human nature could not
stand the terrible ordeal which he had
set for himself, and that if he had 'in
sisted in going on with his own case
there would be a breakdown before
long.
All day, as he sat in the dock, the
eyes of the man he is charged with
murdering gazed at him from a large
crayon portrait placed upright on the
district attorney's dek, in full view of
the entire court. Next to this was an
equally large-sized picture of the daugh
ter, Alice, whose death is also laid on
his shoulders. But Holmes did not
seem to be affected. His stolid de
meanor never deserted him for an in
stant Holmes was allowed another inter
view with his wife besides the ono ar
ranged for by District Attorney Gra
ham. Jeannette Pitezel, Dessa. the daugh
ter of the dead man, was the first wit
ness called. She is a slender, pale girl
of about 17, and was neatly attired in
aarK gray. She was tailed merely to
identify several large crayons of her
father, which she did.
Eugene Smith, who found Pitezel's
body in the Cailowhill street house on
Sept. 4, btM. then told a detailed story
of his discovery, which has been al
ready fully published. He had seen
Holmes at Pitezel's house during his
lifetime. The witness was present
when the corpse of Pifev.el was ex
humed from the potter's field, and was
there first introduced to Holmes. Law
yer Howe of St. Louis, Alice Pitc-zel,
the young daughter, and the iusurauce
officers were there. The body was
recognized by the witness as Pitezel's
Holmes offered iO to have the corpse
cremated. Holmes told the insurance
people of the marks of identification.
Dr. William J. Scott, who examined
Pitezel's body after it was discovered,
explained the situation of the room and
the arrangement of the windows so
that the sun's rays should fall upon the
corpse and hasten decomposition, to
gether with the position of the burns
on the body, the broken jar, pipe, etc.
He verified the district attorney's as
sertion that the pipe could uot have
failed from the lips of Pitezel to the
place where it was found, ami that the
jar could not have been broken by au
explosion, because the pieces of glass
were not scatttred about the room, but
were inside the ;ar. The doctor dwelt
upon the discovery of chloroform in the
stomach, and said large quantities of
t!i6 drug had been used, and from the
contend condition of the lungs and
the empty heart it was apparent that
the man had met a sudden and violent
death from chloroform poisoning.
Dr Mattern corroborated Dr. Scott's
testimony and dilated on the ghastly
scene at the potter's field, when, in the
presence of a half dozen other persons,
including the officers of the swindled
insurance c nipauv and the young
daughter of the dead man, Holmes
took a lancet and coldly and ruthlessly
cut and hacked off portions of tl-'e
corpse of the man he is charged with
Laving murdered.

Hot Sr ivos. Ark.. Oct. 30. The
moves it. fide on the pugilistic checker
board are fall of greater interest than
has developed at any tinle since Hot
Springs was selected as a battleground
by the managers of the big fight. As
the time for the meeting of the twe
gladiators has drawn so near that
nothing short of stratepeui and ex
treme menurcs would prevent it. Gov
trnor Clark and Attorney General
Kinsworthy put their heads together
and decided to use both by virtually
"kidnapping" Fitzsimmons before he
reached Hot Springs and carrying him
to Little Rock, where he would be so
tightly bound by bonds to keep the
peace that he would be glad to get out
of the state without ever seeing C'or
bett. Their plans have been thwarted
at every move, however. Corbett,
Brady, Joe Vendig and Secretary
Wheelock of the Florida Athletic club
are all under arrest here and in the
hands of the local authorities, hence
the attorney general cannot get service
on them now and take them from this
county for trial, a ' contemplated
QOlIlg.
Officers from this county armed with
warrants for Julian and Fitzsimmons'
arrest are now, doubtless, with that
twain somewhere in Texas piloting
them toward Arkansas. As soon as the
tram crosses the line into Arkansas the
warrants will be served upon them aud
they will be prisoners of Garland coun
ty officers, aud when Governor Clark
and the sheriff at Texarkana proceeds
to serve his papers he will find that
his warrants are no good.
The governor has been tripped, and
the only thing that remains "now for
him to do to stop the fight is by mili
tary interference, and it is uot believed
he will do that, as he is somewhat han
dicapped on that score. The right is al-mo.-.t
sure to occur between now and

Lochren Reports an Increase of
86o For the Year.
MODEST DEMANDS
OF
SOLDIERS.
The Commissioner Says the Real Fightera
Have I teen Very Reasonable In Their
Claim Two Huudred and Ninety-Four
Frauds Convicted During the Year.
Washington. Oct. 30. Commissioner
William L. Lochren of the pension
office, in his annual report, makes sev
eral pointed suggestions. Under the
head "Patriotism and Pensions," he
says:
"Those men who enlisted early and
fought the battles of the war were uot
moved by mercenary considerations,
aud unless actually disabled did not
show the haste in applying for peusiocs
manuested by those who enlisted near
the close of the war for large bounties,
and did little actual service, and who
are now the noisiest in clamoring for
more pensions. As compared with this
latter class, the real soldiers of the war
have been modest in preferring claims
for pensions."
The commissi oner says that many
disreputable and incompetent men are
engaged as pension attorneys, and sug
gests that none but reputable members
of the bar be allowed to practice in pen
sion cases. Dishonest attorneys have
given much trouble by systematic crim
inal and fraudulent practices. Pension
payments, the commissioner says, bring
large amounts of monev into communi
ties, and the fear that the conviction of
these attorneys would lessen the influx
of money has manifested itself in popu
lar rancor against the special exam
iners whose investigations secured the
conviction of criminals. The special
examination division will not require
as much money as in the past, for the
reason that vigorous prosecution of
frauds and crimes has discouraged and
measurably stopped frauds. Two hun
dred and ninety-four were convicted
during the year.
The death of many witnesses and the
age of claimants has made it quite
difficult in many cases lately to obtain
proof sufficient for the granting of pen
sions. The report shows that the number of
pensioners June .JO, l.y.4, was !)(ia,544;
new pensioners added during the year.
8i,lb5; dropped pensioners restored,
4.200; deaths during the year, 29.816;
dropped for other causes. 14,57.1: mak
ing a net increase of pensioners during

the year f 13S.S07.337. The estimate for
pensions for 197 are fl 40.000. OoO for

Constipation
Demands prompt treatment. The re
sults of neglect may be serious. Avoid
all harsh and drastic purgatives, the
tendency of which is to weaken the
bowels. The best remedy Is Ayer'a
Pills. Being purely vegetable, their
action is prompt aud their effect always
beneficial. They are an admirable
Liver and After-dinner pill, and every
where endorsed by the profession.
" Ayer's Pills are highly and univer.
sally spoken of by the people about
here. I make daily use of them in my
practice." Dr. I. E. Fowler, Bridge
port, Conn.
" I can recommend Ayer's Tills above
all others, having long proved their
value as a cathartic for myself and
family." J. T. liens, LeithsvUle, Pa.
" For several years Ayer's Pills have
been used in uiy family. We find then
an
Effective Remedy
for constipation and indigestion, and
are never without them in the house."
Moses Grenier, Lowell, Mass.
" I have used Ayer's Pills, for liver
troubles and indigestion, during many
years, and have always found then
tirouipt and etlicieut in their action."
L. Js Smith, L'tica, N. Y.
" I suffered from constipation which
assumed such an oltstinate form that I
feared it would cause a stoppage of the
bowels. Two lMizes of Ayer's Pills ef
fected a complete cure." 1). Burke,
fcjujo. Me.
I have used Ayer's Pills for the past
thirty year and consider tlieut an in
valuable family medicine. I know of
no N-tter leincdy for liver troubles,
and have always found them a prompt
cure for dysiM-Mia." James Quinu, a0
Middle St., llartfor.l, Coun.
" Ilaviu-; been troubled with costive
ness. which seems inevitable with per
sons of sedentary habit, I have tried
Ajer's Pills, hoping for relief. I am
f la.1 to K,aj ihat thev have served me
ctfer than any other medicine. I
arrive at this conclusion only after a
fauiiful trial .f their merits." Samuel
