thivKKXOK Hastix;s, after having
filed vctcs of three bills with the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth, has re
called and signed them. This has giv
en rise to a discussion, as to whether
these bills are laws, or whether the ve
toes, when filed, were the end of the
measures. The J'lii'tub lilii't T'um
lias this to say aUmt the matter:
The fifteenth tectum of the fourth
uriicle of the Constitution provides
that bills presented to the Governor
within ten days of the final adjourn
ment of the legislature, shall become
laws without his approval "unless he
shall file the same with his objections
in the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth, and give notice there
of by puMie proclamation, within
thirty days after such adjournment.''
Ou Saturday last the Governor pre
pared a veto of the bill appropriating
SV'' to the normal scho ds, filed it
with the Secretary of the Common
wealth, and the Deputy Secretary pro
claimed the filing of the veto from the
steps of the Capitol at noon of that
late, thus complying with all the re
quirements of the Constitution. On
Monday of this week he withdrew
his veto and approved the bill.
As this bill involves a very large ap
propriation, and as the representatives
of a huuiIht of other institutions have
liecn grievously disappointed by the
veto of their appropriations, it is more
than probable that measures will nt
taken to contest the validity of the
normal schil bills. Unless judicial
proceedings shall lie instituted, the
State Treasurer and accounting officers
f the State can only obey the law us
it is, for they have no judicial powers
and cannot question tltc validity of a
statute. The question erald be raised
only by a legal action to enjoin the
Au.iitor General and the Sta'e Treas
urer from the payment of the appro
priation made under the law.
If the facts are as generally stated,
and as yet they are not disputed as far
as we nave lieara, that the Governor
vetoed the normal school appropria
tion on Saturday, fih-d his veto and
publicly proclaimed the same from the
stejis of the Capitol on that lay, it
. 1 J ...
wouki seem clear mat me veto was
complete and that the courts could en
join the financial officers from the pay
ment of the appropriation. A veto
given after the adjournment of the
legislature thus filed and proclaimed,
complies with every requirement
the Constitution, and would appc&r to
have the precise effect of the ioveruor
sen. ling it to the legislature. A veto
transmitted by the Governor to the
Ix-gislature certainly could not lie re
called after it had W-couie a tart of the
r--c.tr Js of that liody.
Another question as to the validity
if a law has arisen in the bill provid
ing for the apjMiintmciit of Game Com
missioners in this State. It originally
appropriated money to pay the cxjicii
ses of the commission, but the Granger
element of the House defeated it, and
the bill passed with the appropriation
eliminated. The Senate restored the
appropriation, and in the conference
committee ail agreement was reached
by which jl.VJd was appropriated for
the expenses, but the House defeated
the conference refill. Notwithstand
ing this failure to pxss, it was certified
to the Governor and has Urn signed
by him.
liegardlessof the fart that this bill
was defeated iu the legislature, it is
now toevery intent aud purpose the
law of the State, N' official charged
with its execution can question iu va
lidity, and it is doubtful whether even
the courts would declare it iuvali.L
The remedy for such abuses of legis
lative power is in the prosecution aud
punishment of the legislative officials
who iKTptrate the fraud. I
A Ghost Pointed to a Murder.
The presentation of a petition to the
Ohio state lard of pardons Thursday,
brought out a peculiar story of how the

county woman led to the conviction of a

Aliout 17 years ao John W. Brook,

hole in his head.

Lifting the Veil on a Crest Insurance Swin
dle.
Tom into, int.. July lo. The bodies of
Ktta Alice and Nellie Pietzel, the miss
ing daughters of Benjamin F. Pictzel,
were fouud by Detective .Cuddy, of
Toroi.to, and Urier, of Philadelphia, this
afternoon, buried in the cellar of a house.
No. l!i, St. Vincent street. H. H. Holmes
now under arrest in Philadelphia, is Ixv
lieved to have dclilieratcly murdered the
two girl.; after he had first murdered
their father in Philadelphia aud their
brother iu Detroit.
H. H. Holmes, aliat Herman W. Mud
gett, alias II. H. Howard, was bom in
New Haven, Conn., attended a medical
college at Burlington, VL, and later at
Ann Arlmr, Mich. He and a friend
swindled an insuram-e company in Chi-
csigo out of SttKI soon after graduating.
They made another haul in a similar way.
Holmes went into the drug business and
spoiilated. His wife A , nt home and he
married ? "lu-r woman, with whom he
went to California. Returning in aUmt a
year he went to housekeeping with the
woia.ni typewriter of the company whose
a."iuaintanee he had formed. He tried to
cheat a fire insuram-e company out of
& 2 1, Mil, but failed, and learning that his
typewriter ami her sister had inherited
goO.oiM, laid a scheme to cet the money.
The sister came to live with them and
disappeared, while he and Minnie, the
typewriter girl, took up their abode at
the Plaza hotel, Chicago. Holmes next
apcared at Terre Haute, Ind., where he
tailed B. F. Pictzel out of jail. From
ihcre he went to Franklin, Ind., where
he married M isn Yoke, and they scnt
their honeymoon in Denver, where
Holmes made ?27,oui in sps-ulalion. At
Philadelphia, later on, he and Pictzel
played the last card. Pictzel was insured
in the Philadelphia Mutual for ill,0i).
on September 3d he was found dead in
the house, I'lltJ ('alio hill street, which
he had rented under the name of B. F.
Perry. His liody was badly burned and
the face was almost unrecognizable.
Holmes, Pietzel's wife and children iden
tified the body as Pietzel's, and the in
surance money was paid over.
Then Train Robber Hedgespath gave
the whole case away to Chief of Police
Harrison, bc-ause Lawyer Howe, whom
he had gotten into the conspiracy had
not paid him the promised reward.
Holmes was traced to Toronto, Bulington
and in the latter city was arrested. Mean
while the Pictzel children had disappear
ed, the boy being traced to Indianaitolis
and the two girls to Toronto.
