The Champion Swindler an Enthusi
ast on the Subject of Hypnotism.
PLAIN TALK BY HIS ATTORNEY
Lawyer Hawkins Intimates That the In
surance Juggler lias Made a Fool of
Himself in Talking to the Officers
and Making Various Confessions.
By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. 23. Lawyer Harry
C. Hawkins, who has been retained to
defend Holmes, the Insurance swindler,
visited the accused in his cell at the city
hall this morning and had a long con
ference. At the very beginning of the talk
Holmes was bluntly and emphatically
Informed that he had acted the part of
a fool, pure and simple, in unburdening
himself and making such startling con
fesslons as are alleged to have been
made to the representatives of the in
surance company. To his nttorney He
declared with much emphasis that Pit
zel was still alive, and that his wherea
bouts can be located when his (Holmes)
mall is forwarded from Chicago
Holmes expressed himself as being su
premely happy that he was under ar
rest, and asserted that even If his cell
door were thrown wide open he would
not attempt to escape. While he ad
mitted that he was guilty of many
crimes, he declared with much earnest
ness that he was not guilty of shedding
human blood, and that murder could
not be charged up against him.
Holmes seems to have a mania for
hypnotism, and although uopn all other
subjects he talks with rare Intelligence,
when this, subject is brought up he
seems to lose control of himself.
Where Is .Mrs Holmes?
When Mrs. Holmes came to this city
In company wit her husband and Mrs.
Pitzel ,she was placed in a hotel, but
. afterward removed to a house, the ad
dress of which the police have refused
to make known.
Today Lawyer Hawkins wrote a let
ter to the superintendent, saying that
the secreting of Mrs. Holmes and deny
ing her the privilege of visiting and
consulting with her husband In this,
his greatest hour of need, was a wrong.
He stated that unless the woman was
produced at an early date, a writ of
habeas corpus would be applied for to
compel the superintendent or those hav
ing the woman In custody to produce
her.
District Attorney Graham said this
afternoon that no time had been set for
the trying of the case.
Clew to Pitzel's Whereabouts.
Chicago, Nov. 23. The Woodlawn po
lice today obtained a clew regarding
B. F. Pitzel, the accomplice of H. H.
Holmes, who is now detained In Phila-
hla on charges of having swindled
Insurance company.. .Shortly after
e account of Holme's arrest wao pub
lished and the story of Pitzel's death
given out, the police of the Woodlawn
station thought they recognized In the
description of Pitzel a man who had
lived in the Morgan flats on Madison
avenue, near Sixty-third street. They
followed up the case and found that the
suspect was Pitzel, and that he had va
cated his Morgan Hat apartments on
May 1 last, storing his furniture at
Curtis Bros', warehouse. Early In
August Pitzel was In the city ostensibly
to make arrangements regarding the
removal of his household effects to St.
Louis, where he Intended to make his
home for the winter.
He soon left for Philadelphia, and the
above facts regarding his St. Louis ar
rangements, It is said, are embodied In
a letter written to Mr. Curtis from that
place. The St. Louis address was given
as 2,306 Michigan street. Shortly after
ward a letter was received from Pitzel
In St. Louis, In which he promised soon
to clear the standing Indebtedness on
his furniture and effect Its removal.
Four letters have been written by Mr.
Curtis to Pitzel at St. Louis, and as
none have been returned to him the po
lice firmly believe that Pitzel Is alive
and in St. Louis.
Nailed His Own Lies.
Philadelphia, Nov. 23. Holmes and
Mrs. Pitzel were removed this afternoon
from the central police station to the
county prison. The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children pro
posed to take charge of Mrs. Pitzel's
two children, but she begged so plteous
ly to allow them to go to mlson with
her that Police Surgeon Andrews gave
It as his opinion that in the woman's
nervous condition It would be danger
ous to her health to separate her from
her children.
To the charge of murder, Holmes
will make a defense to the last and
fully expects to be able to prove that
Pitzel is alive without even having to
produce him. Holmes nailed one of his
own lies today by retracting the story
that one of the Williams girls had been
murdered 4n Chicago and that he had
burled her body In the lake. He said
that the girl had not been killed, but
that she Is now traveling In Europe.

Thinks the Currency of the Country

RESULT OP TARIFF POOLING
Continued Changes in Tariff Are Certain
to Breed u Spirit of Uncertainty and
Unrest-Hopes In Cleveland's Good
Sense Not Realized,
By the United Press.
Pittsburg, Nov. 23. The United Press
tonight secured from Andrew Carnegie,
the millionaire Iron king, the interview
which he promised to give to the public
before he left Pittsburg.
Mr. Carnegie was asked for his opin
ion on the business outlook. After a
short pause he said:
"This is not. In my opinion, the time
when any valuable forecast can be
made. It is reported we are to have a
sensational presidential message look
ing to a change in our currency system.
No matter whether the scheme would
be better than that which we have, still
the waters would be troubled and bust
ness must suffer. You know If you wish
to rebuild your house and live In it, no
matter how much you are going to im
prove (and all changes are not im
provements by any means) you cannot
enjoy undisturbed repose, neither can
a nation.
"This Is one objection to tinkering at
short intervals with any policy, tariff
or currency. It is bad enough with the
tariff, but it Is highly dangerous when
the money and currency of a nation
are tampered with. These are the blood
of the whole system, Industrial, agrl
cultural, commercial, financial. The
richest man down to the boot black on
the corner is vitally affected by a
change in money. I did my best to im
press upon the powers that be, after
the July panic of 1893, that the nation
as a patient was not In a position to
undergo a surgical operation, and I had
hopes that President Cleveland's usual
good sense would lead him to postpone
his tariff changes until the general
health of the patient was good at least;
this advice was not followed.
Shock to the Patient.
"The patient had a great Bhock, the
greatest shock that the United States
ever had, the civil war excepted, and it
Is in my opinion a mistake to look for
speedy recovery. No matter what im
provements can be made in our financial
system, this is no time for change. I
do not believe any decided improve
ment can be made in the system. It
has worked splendidly, and one feature,
which is to agitators an objection, Is
really one of its decided advantages;
It tends to keep wild speculation within
bounds, as it does not expand to suit
speculative balloonist gentlemen who
cannot get money for the asking, only
because they have nothing upon which
prudent bankers wish to take the risk
of lending. ,
"The action of congress Is an Import
ant factor. If the country Is to be ex
cited by threatened changes in the
tariff, no matter if these changes would
be ultimately beneficial, which, -of
course, I do not believe they would be,
still they would disturb the confidence,
not only of the people at home, but of
the capitalists abroad, both of which
are essential elements to the return of
prosperity, therefore you see, gentle
men, we must wait until the turn of the
year before any reasonable opinion can
be formed."
TREATY WITH JAPAN.
New Convention of Amity, Commerce and
Navigation.
By the United Press.
Washington, Nov. 23. The new con
vention of amity, commerce and navl
gatlon between the United States and
Japan has been concluded, Secretary

attached their signatures on behalf of
their respective governments yesterday.
The utmost precautions have been tak
en as usual to Insure the secrecy of the
terms of the convention until its ratlfl
cation, following Its consideration by
the senate; but It Is known to differ in
no essential feature from that conclud
ed between Japan and Great Britain on
July 16 last.
The new treaty replaces the old treaty
of 1858 between the United States and
Japan and Is not to take effect until
some time to be agreed upon after its
ratification. A number of clauses re
late to tariff duties and navigation
laws and throughout the whole conven
tion each country is given every advant
age extended to the most favored na
tions. , Discriminating duties on Im
ports and exports are proscribed.

prosecution and to undergo an Impris
onment In the Allegheny penitentiary
of seven years at separate and solitary
confinement and hard labor. This sent
ence was on one charge of the indict
ment, and the Judge declared that If
they ever returned to Elk county they
would receive the same sentence on the
other Indictments.
Joseph Kreltle and Wassel Swlntner
were sentenced to undergo an Imprison
ment in the penitentiary at separate
nd solitary confinement for five years
each.
Edward Fox and Leo Wurm, who
pleaded guilty to placing gunpowder be
neath buildings, were sentenced on one
harge to the state's prison for a term
of three years each. These two also
have another charge hanging over
them, which the judge said would be
met with a similar sentence If they ever
again came Into Elk county.. -

were arranged for violating an injunc
tion of the court last June In marching
along the public highway In a body dur-
ng the strike In this region, were to
day acquitted by Judge Mayer, who
took the case away from the jury and
rendered a verdict as above. Eight of
the number, who had "forfeited their
recognizance and departed for Italy
Borne weeks ago, were found guilty as
indicted as a sort of vindication to the
court for the action taken.

After a Long Chase the Pittsburg Cittcn,
Who, It Is Alleged, Has Misappropri
ated $241,000, Is Cupturcd In Now
York City by Detectives,
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 23. George M. Irwin,
of Pittsburg, who Is wanted In that
city for the alleged misappropriation of
$241,000, wus arrested at the Grand
hotel late this afternoon. Irwin's ar
rest was very cleverly managed. The
police of Pittsburg have been looking
for him for three weeks. A detective
named Sweeny, armed with a warrant,
went to Philadelphia, as he had heard
that Irwin was there. He missed his
man, however, and came to this city
this morning. Sweeny at once began k
search of the hotels and finally located
Irwin at the Grand. Irwin had arrived
at the hotel on Wednesday In company
with William M. Ferguson, a young
lawyer or Pittsburg.
As soon as Sweeny found his man he
went to the Jefferson Market court and
had his warrants countersigned by Jus
tlce Hogan. Then he went back to the
hotel and placed Irwin under arrest.
He took mattears very coolly and said
that his arrest was an outrage. He re
fused to make any statement whatever.
He will have a hearing tomorrow.
Detective Sweeny said that he had ar-
ested Irwin In the nick of time, as he
and ferguson were about to. sail for
Europe. Their passage, he said, had
been engaged on the Auranln, which
sails tomorrow.
Sweeny professed to know nothing
about the charges upon which Irwin
was arretsed. The warnrnts were Is
sued in Pittsburg on the complaint of
W. J. Rhea.
