SRANCE SWINDLERS. The Case Against Holmes Becomes More Puzzling, RO PROOFS OF MURDER AS YET. The Prisoner's Willingness to be Takes to Philadelphia Seems to Verify the State ment That He Substituted Another Body | for That of Pitzell, | PHILADELPHIA, Nov ~The Holmes Pitzell conspiracy plot thickened yester day by the arrest of Lawyer Jefferson D Howe in 8t. Louis and the it of Mrs Pitzell in Burlington, Vt. Howe was the counsellor who came on here with powers of attorney from Mrs. Pitzell to collect the £10,000 insurance money, and oar ried a letter of indorscment with him from the wont of the Fidelity Mutual Life which completely armed any suspicions that might have ex isted in the minds of the Philadelphia of ficials. The money was pald, and Howe left town, and led as be ing probably the important incident in the pres President y Life In surance company, went before the quar ter sessions grand jury and related the cir cumstances that led to the est of H. H Holmes in Boston. An hour later a tele gram was received from St Howe was in custody, and that had been made by the person Very meager details have in Philadelphia regarding Mrs. Pitzell in Boston, but President McKnight says it fecal outcome of Holmes’ arrest fession “I have not yet been informed," McKnight, “of the nature of Mrs. Pitzell's confession. My information is simply to the effect that she has been arrested and has confessed. Whether this will throw any light upon the murder theory or whether it will simply be a substantiation of Holmes’ story I am not in a position to say. but I suspect it will be the latter.” Vice President McKnight does not insist that Pitzell Fouse's appearance before the grand jury did not so charge, but they and other of ficial of the company think that the prose cution and developments of the conspiracy case will develop that blood was spilled and that Pitzell was the victim The question that remains i whether ly found at 1316 Callowhil street was or was not Pitzell’s. While the insurance company peo are inclined to believe that it there is roof to that effect same mind as the company’s.
