ROUKDING UPEOUJES- PALS
The Chicago 1'olice Make Still An
other Arrest.
VISITORS SWARM THE CAST LB
Soheme of aa Eoiererlslnt Jeweler.
Weaving the Nets of F.vldonee.
Lawyer Shoemaker Threatens a
Alibi The Canadians Slumber.
Chicago, July 29. Fully 5,000 curious
people vlsfted Sixty-third and Wallace
streets yesterday ami sought admission
to Holmes' castle. Enterprising Jewel
er Davis, who occupied part of the drug
store In the .building, had made ar
rangements to admit visitors on pay
ment of a 10-cent fee and expected to
reap a rich harvest but .the police
heard of It and forbade admission to
the building above the first floor.
The information given by the me
chanics, Charles M. Chappelle, who wa
examined by the Inspector yesterday,
Is undoubtedly the most valuable
which the detectives have yet obtained.
Another arrest was made yesterday,
that of 11. S. 'Maek, who worked for
Holmes during the last six months he
lived In the Sixty-third street house.
The police have been looking for him
since Friday, and they admit that they
have the most important witness they
have yet rounded up. They are certain
that he knows all about Pat Quintan
and his wife and their connection with
Holmes from certain admissions he has
made to friends.
The Inspector and Chief Badenoch
eay they have sufficient evidence to
convict Holmes and Qulnlan. and aa the
present grand jury will be the last one
until September, every effort Is being
made to get the evidence In shape to
present to that ibody ibefore Its adjourn
ment. From present Indications It Is
likely that the matter will be laid be
fore the grand Jury tomorrow.
Summing up the gist of the police
work yesterday, It may ibe said on the
authority of the police that they ex
pect to hang Pat Qulnlan, H. H.
Holmes, the man Harris, alias Zlegle.
and James C. Allen, the Little Rock
convict, befure they finish with the
castle.
Skeletons Not Perfect.
The skeletons mounted by Chappelle
are not perfect. Inspector Fltapatrlck
said this morning that he expected to
gut the remainder of them, but would
not tell from what soy roe.
Medical experts pronounce the skele
tons as having 'belonged, to two girls
afbout the age of 20 and a woman of
middle age. Mot all the teeth were re
moved, and the police nope that there
may be some sort of Identification
from these which remain. He is not at
all certain that Lhe(bone beloRg to
'Holmes' Victims. As an inunaiwa
swindler nothing would have 'been more
natural tnan Tor mm to have procured
bodies with the Intention of deceiving
the companies and then have their
skeleton articulated as .in extra cource
of revenue.
The market price of a human, frame,
when neatly mounted, ranges from $40
to J50, and the furnaces In the cellar,
which It Is believed were used for bend
ing plate glass, would have been good
places to boll the bodies and dispose of
the flesh. Patrick Qulnlan still main
tains a sturdy front.
Aa Important Development.
Philadelphia, July 29. The confession
of Cephos Humphrey, the colored Chi
cago expressman, made yesterday to
the police In that city, in which he
stated that .he had been employed by
Holmes' to remove severaJ mMl.
that apparently contained human
ootuea, ts accepted by the authorities
here aa an Important development In
the mysterious case and one that la apt
to upset several of the theories of the
police and the district attorney.
Correspondence Is going on between
the district attorney and the authori
ty at Chicago, but the Toronto er.d of
the case is about dropped, as the
chances of securing a conviction there
are considered to be far less than at
Chicago. Lawyer 8hoemaker, who rep
resents Holmes, stated today that he
had visited his client ait the county
prison and conversed with him.
Can Prove an Alibi.
"I 'had a long talk with my client,"
said be, "and while It would be unwise
and unprofessional to make public the
result of the conference, I can say that
If the western authorities do not dis
continue making charges against
Holmes he will soon be charged with
having 'been directly responsible for
every mysterious disappearance of
man, woman and child that the police
of all cities have failed to unravel. We
are prepared at this moment to prove
an alibi In every case thus far brought
against Holmes, and both myself and
my client would welcome any legal ac
tion ithat would place him on trial Ito
answer the charge of having murdered
any one in this city or elsewhere. Chi
cago seems to be anxious to secure him
and any case that the authorities there
have against him we can meet."
Holmes and his last known wife are
the Joint owners of several pieces of
property In Chicago and elsewhere, and
Mr. Shoemaker, at their request, Is ne
gotiating to convert this Into cash for
the purpose of being prepared to meet
the expenses of a trial.
Discovery la the Cellar.
Chicago, July 29. Workmen digging
In the Holmes building this morning
found in a corner of the cellar, six bones,
(our of which were small and the oth
ers about six Inches In length. iDr.
Robinson; the druggist, gate It as his
opinion that the small .bones were those
of a human being, but the others were
not. Most -of the day was devoted to
trying to locate the hidden vats, in
which Machinist Ohappell told the po
lice Holmes was accustomed to put
bodies. The work was .very slow, and
was still further delayed by the crowd
which had to be occasionally driven
back by an extra detail of police, which
was called out for that purpose. The
eeoret tunnel, described by Mrs. Syl
vester, of Kansas City, was also looked
for, but as yet has not been found.
People who knew Dr. Russler In En
glewood say tie disappeared suddenly
In 189a, and some adhere td the theory
that he met death In the charnel house.
He had an Offloe In Holmes' building,
and the two men were often seen to
gether. The doctor's disappearance
was not explained at the time, and has
not been since.
Dr. Robinson found today the signa
ture of Minnie Williams on several re
ceipts he has at his store, and they will
be used by the police In the Investiga
tion of the alleged transfer of Fort
Worth, Tex., property toy the Williams
girl Indirectly to Holmes. 'By these the
police hope to settle the disputed ques
tion as to whether the deed was forged.
Secret Vault I'aeartaed.
Chicago, July 29, The 'huge brick
vault underneath 'Holmes' charnel
house was unearthed by the police to
day, who are still delving In Vhe earth
In and about the cellar. The existence
of this vault has been theoretical until
today. Many rumors of such a recep
tacle has been circulated, but It was
not until the police discovered Machin
ist Chappel that they succeeded in
gaining any Idea of the location of the
vault. When Chappel accompanied the
officers through the Holmes house yes
terday he Indicated the location of the
vault in the southeast corner
of the cellar, and early this
morning half a dozen men were
put to work digging In 'the place Indi
cated. At 4.30 o'clock the officers In
charge of the work telephoned police
headquarters that tihey had reached
and uncovered a long strip of the roof
of the vault. Superintendent Badenoch
at once gave orders to get tthe ground In
such shape that the vault could be
easily opened tomorrow and to discon
tinue the work then for the day.
The police theory Is that Holmes used
this vault for qulektlmlng the bod!es
of hfs victims and getting them Unto
such a condition that they could not
possibly be identified. While the police
o metals are not hopeful of finding
bodies of murdered people In the vault,
t'hey are at the same time 'hopeful of se
curing evidence to fully establish Just
what the vault was used for and what
connection. If any, -the vault had with
t'he half destroyed human bodies that
were carted away from the charnel
house to t'he home of the articulator.
CARSON IS CAPTURED.

across a picture of Carson, the accom
plice of the New York poatofflce thieves,
and at once recognized a striking re
semblance between it and the pick

be taken, and either concealed his face
behind his hands or threw himself upon
the floor.

Market Lake. Idaho. July 29. (By
Courier from Sargeant's Lodge). The
fires thought to be signal fires are In
reality only crest fires which the In

many have deserted their homes, fear
ing an outbreak. The first man actual
ly known to have come through Jack
son's Hole Is J. S. Barry. (He said that
the Indians are not visible and that no
foody has been harmed since the first
shooting on the day of thq Indian break
for liberty. The settlers are, however,
still entrenched, and the Indians In the
hills and canons are behaving In such
a way as to Imply that they are ready
to respond to every act.. Barry saw no
Indians on his way throught the most
dangerous part of the Journey. He
said, however, that the man who want
ed an Indian fight could get It.
Today several Jackson's Hole exiles
came Into camp from Cunningham's
camp, twenty miles north of Marysvale,
and In the heart of the war country.
Cunningham says the settlers have had
a number of scouts out, three having
reported numerous Indian camps, but
that all seems to be peaceful. He ex
perienced no difficulty In coming out,
he having started at 6.30 Friday eve
ning. Altogether his idea Is that there
is no violent danger.
Several of Agent Teter's Indian police
have joined the command.
