Chicago Police I nearth Parts of a Human
Body Believed to Be liuriej by llira.
Chicago. July 24. There were several
new and important development In the
Holme case here today. In the first
place a number of human bones were
dug up .by the laborers who for several
days past have been excavating In. 'the
cellar at the house on the corner of
Sixty-third and Wallace streets. The
bones found were apparently part of
ferns trunk of a emale child. There were
eighteen ribs, a number of vertebrae
and a piece of much corroded bone,
which could not be aa-igned to any par
ticular part of the body, on account of
being in an advanced state of decay,
apparently from the action of some
chemical. This bone, however, Is sup
posed to be a portion of either a hip or
a skull bone.
With the partial skeleton was found
a piece of torn skirts or chemise, which
bore marks that may or may not prove
to be human blood. The sleeves of this
garment were too long for the arms of
a child, and, although the opinion pre
vails that the bones are undoubted
those of a female child, the gown would
seem to warrant the conclusion that
they are part of the skeleton of a wo
man, the more s as It Is well known
that the bones of many women are
little larger than those of children.
The bones found this morning are be
lieved by the central station detec
tives to be those of Gertrude Connor,
the daughter of Mrs. Julia L. Connor,
who Is now believed to have been one
of Holmes' victims. Mother and daugh
ter disappeared about the same time.
The bones were found In a cornor of tbe
cellar.

ed at 1 o'clock and tasted until dark,
and even then one race waa unfinished.
The track was fast, but a fairly strong
wind blew up the stretch. Another
enormous crowd was present.
At 4.30 o'clock Robert J. with Geers
In the sulky, was sent to beat his record
of 2.01. and he had Cheerful as a run
ner. On the second attempt Geers
nodded for the word. Cheerful was at
Hubert's whe4 as they got the word.
The king of pacers pased the first quar
ter, going as true as a die, In .30. Up
the back stretch the runner moved up
a little. As he swept by the half the
time, 1.01. showed he was behind time
for a 2 minute gait. Geers did not
pick him up on the upper turn,, but
Cheerful was sent to his flank.
As they dashed by the three-quarters
In 1:31 Cheerful came up abreast and
Geers piled the whip and called on the
superb son of Hartford for the effort of
his life with whip and word, and with
Cheerful neck and neck they came down
to the wire. Geers was using all his
power to make a new record, but it was
useless, and he went under the wire In
2:02 flat, ths second fastest mile ever
paired in the world, and the fastest of
the year.
