Holmes Gives Up the Attempt to Conduct
His Own Defense.
THE TAKING OF TESTIMONY BEGUN
Forging a Chain of Evidence to Show That
Pltezol Was Murdered District At
torney Graham Believes the Trial
Will Last a Month or More.
Philadelphia, Oct. 30. At tho opon
ing of tho Holmes trial yesterday District
Attorney Graham announced that "tho
woman known as Miss Yoho and Mrs.
Howard was sent for, saw tho prisoner,
and had amplo opportunity for an Inter
view with him." This Is tho woman who
Holmes declared on Monday was his wife,
charging that Mr. Graham had dono all
In his power to separate them. Holmes
said that ho had had only a threo mlnuto
lntervlow with tho woman, and asked that
It ho renewed during tho rccoss. Ills re
quest was granted.
Then tho prisoner asked that a plan bo
produced of tho Callowhlll street houso In
which ho Is alleged to ha vo murdered Plto
zel. Tho district attorney said such a plan
was In court, and would bo produced at
tho proper tlmo.
"I also ask," Holmes continued, "that a
quantity of tho liquor which Mr. Graham
said I used In my efforts to oxtorminato
tho Pltezel family bo submitted to analy
sis. I want to provo that whllo It contains
a small quantity of nltro-glycorlno, It Is
entirely harmless, and Is sold In every drug
store.
"Do you mean tho liquor you left with
Mrs. Pitozol In Burlington, Vt.f"
"Yos."
"That has novor boenln mypossosslon.1.
Then tho prisoner wanted to know
whethor, during tho tostlmony of ono wit
ness, all tho others should not bo excluded
from tho court room. .ludgo Arnold ans
wered that this would bo dono If tho ex
lgoncyaroso. .leaunetto Pltezol, "Dcssa," tho 17-year-old
daughter of tho dead man, was tho
first wltnoss called. Sho was called merely
to Identify sovoral largo crayon portraits
of her father, which sho did, Holmes
asked her If they woro good portraits of
her father, and sho answered In tho affirm
ative. Eugono Smith, who found Pltozol's body
In tho Callowhlll street houso on Sept. 4,
1891, then told the story of his dlscovory,
which has boon already fully published.
Holmes submitted Smith to a long exami
nation, dwelling upon ovory point of tho
x .1 .!,!. ....! I... .!.,., n.,.14.1.
but tno witness was unsiinKcn.
At last, becoming exasperated at his in
ability In this respect, and In consoquenco
of an Immaterial romark thrown In by
Mr. Graham, Holmes exclaimed: "I ob
ject to tho bloodthirsty manner In which
tho district attoruoy and this wltnoss aro
trying to draw tho inforonco that I rushed
Into this potter's field and mutilated tho
dead body of my friend."
"You aro drawing tho Inferences your
self," said Mr. Graham.
Dr. "William J. Scott was called, and at
this juncture Holmes rcnowod his request
that all witnesses oxcept tho ono on tho
itand bo oxcluded from tho room
Mr. Graham objeotod tot ils.andHolmei
sarcastically said: "I would llko to know
whethor you, Mr. Graham, or tho honor
ablo court Is to mako tho rulings In this
case. I havo been anxious to know this
slnco tho trial began."
Judge Arnold uphold tho district at
tornoy and Holmes asked for and was
granted an exception to tho ruling. Holmes
then asked that thowltnessos connected
with tho murder of Bonjam 11 P. Pltozal
booxcludod. This was granted him. After
tho wltnossos had all left tho room Holmes
asked If his wlfo was to bo a witness.
"Again I must ask," said tho district at
torney, "whloh wlfo you mean."
"You know," responded Hjlmosj "tho
woman you soo fit to dosignato as Mls3
Yoho, thoroby casting a slur on nor and
myself. That woman Is my wlfo."
"You cast a slur on hor," Mr. Graham
retorted, "when you married hor with two
wives living. I call her by tlio namo sho
gives mo, which is Miss Yoho."
"That Is for hor to say," said Holmes.
"Well, sho Is not in tho court room,"
concluded tho prosecutor, "and I decline
to say whether or not she will ba a wit
ness." Dr. Scott was thon permitted to till his
story, whloh comern'vl his having boon
called In to oxamlne' Pltozol's body nftor
Its discovery. He oxplnlnoJ. tho dtua;lou
of tho room and tho arranijomsut of tho
wludows so that tho sun's rays should fall
upon tho corpso and' haston decomposi
tion. Tho doctor dwelt upon tho discov
ery of chloroform In tho stomach, and said
that largo quantities of tho drug' ha 1 boon
usod, and from tho congiisod condition tit
tho lungs and tho uim y heart It was ap
parent that tho man had mst a suddon
and violent death from ohloroform poi
soning. At 1:10 an adjourn nent was taken until
8:30, whon Dr, William 1C. M.vttorn, oor
oiler's physician, was called. Holmes Im
mediately aroso and begg'xl tho court to
grant him a continuance until today, on
tho grounds that Dr. Mattorn would prove
a most important witness, and ho felt un
equal to tho strain at prosont. This was
denied.
Dr. Mattern said he mado tho first post
mortoin examination at tho mor juo on
Bopt. 14, and tho conditions woro as dis
covered by Dr. Scott. Ho spoko of the
scones at tho potter's field, where In tho
presence of tho lusurauco company's of
ficers and Pltezol's daughter tho prisoner
took a lancet and cut off portions of tho
eorpso.
In cross examining tho wltnoss Holmes
Asked htm to road his notes of tho result
of the nulonsv lit tholr ontlrety. This tho
trltnoss did, Ho was thon submitted to a
lonrr series of technical nuostlons touch'
lng the probablo cause of doath, tho effects
of chloroform, oto. Dr. Mattern doolared
that death was duo to chloroform poison
Insr. Tho cross examination continued
for nearly two hours and a half.
Dr. Henry Loffinim, well known as an
analytical cucmu-t, . as m'St. called on to
tostiry. In reply to a question from tho
district attorney ho declared It was Im
possible for n man to fix hliusalf in au
attitude as reposeful as that in which
Pitezel's body was found after having
administered chloroform to himself.
Holmos asked Dr. Loffmrtu only a fow 1
questions, but reserved tho right to call
him as a witness for tho defouso.
Tho next witness. Coroner Samuel H.
Ashbrldge, produced two allldavlts sworn
to by Alice I'llezcl and Holmes, Identify
ing the body of tho girl's fathor.
Tho court then announced a recess until
7 p. 111., who eupon Holmes asked that two
Justead of threo sessions bo held becauso of
als weak condition.
"Well," replied judgo Arnold, "wo will
hold a session tonight."
Tho sensation of tho ovonlng session was
ooused by Holmes Immediately after court
reconvened. Ho aroso and In a wavering
tone said:
"if your honor pleaso, I havo a request
to nlnko. In conscquonco of tho sovcro
physical strain to which I havo been sul
jeetod, and also becauso of tho criticism
leveled against my formor counsel, Mossrs.
Shoemaker and Kotan, I havo within tho
past half hour sent for them and asked
thcnl to again assume charge of my de
fense. I should llko tho court to permit
this."
Tho two lawyers wero then requested to
step Into tho court room. Holmes was
moved back to his formor position, and
his counsel took scats.
At theovcnlng session William Moeblns,

loon keeper, testified as to Pitezel's drink
ing habits.
G. Harlow Lampon sworo that ho had
scon PlttYol nt tho Callowhlll street houso

seo about soino patent business. Mr. Shoo
maker sharply cross oxai dncd Lampon on
tho riuostiou of his belief that tho man
whom hp thoro saw was ho whoso plcturo
is in evidenco as that of Pltezel. Mr.
Lampon was sure they woro tho same. A.
T. Hubbard's testimony was in this lino,
too.
Mrs. Ada Alcorn, a physician, testified
that Holmes had lived in her houso on
North Eloventh street, under tho namo of
Howell, from Aug. 5 to Sept. 3, 1891.
Whllo thoro Pltezel called on him. John
Grammer gavo corroboratlvo testimony,
adding that Holmos brought Alico Plte
zol to tho houso with him on his second
visit.
Joslah W. Richmond had known Plte
zol well, and had taken him to his sister's
houso to got board. Pltezel had told him

BEER THIEYES ABOUT AGAIN !
An Assault and Attempted Highway
Hobbery in the First Ward at an Early
Hour This Morning Tho Victim
Found Insensible by a Policeman.
Justice Cardin and Constable Iioland spent
several hours yesterday and to-day trying to
find out who stole threo kegs of beer from tho
saloon of Gustavo Walkliousc, on West Centre
street, but notwithstanding four arrests in
connection with tho caso last night they havo
apparently failed to get hold of the guilty
parties. They have, however, elicited in
formation that will bring about tho desired
result.
Michael Doolcy, Michael Stanton, Michael
Scanlan and Patrick Senlly, four young men
under twenty years of age, wero taken into
custody liy Constable Iioland last night and
taken to the lockup, where tliey remained
until tlds morning, when they wero taken
beforo Justice Curdin. All tho accused
pleaded not guilty. Evan Gradwell, a step
son of Mrs. Little, of West Centre street,
testified that the accused called at tho houso
while his parents wero at tho Salvation
Army Sunday night and asked permission to
take tho beer into tho house. Tho request
was refused. Mrs. Little said pho drovo,tlio
parties from tho place when she arrived homo
from tho Salvation Army.
Michael Stanton, liko Holmos now on trial
at Philadelphia, took his own caso in hand
and in some very pointed remarks tried to
turn tho tables on Mrs. Little and her step
sou. He sworo that he drank the beer but
did not know it was stolen and that Gradwell
and a fellow named Dowdy brought a
second keg to tho shanty at tho rear of Mrs.
Little's houso. Ho also stated that Mrs.
Little bottled some of tho beer and that she
wauled the visitors to remain, but her hus
band insisted that they leave. This Holmes
like bomb caused a sensation and a few
minutes after there was a hot exchange
Mrs. Little and her step-son on tho ono sjdo
between and the four accused young men on
tho other. Mrs. Little stoutly denied the
charges made by Stanton.
During the discussion sufucicut was dropped
to lead tho Justice to conclude that tho beer
was stolen by "Kid" McAndrew and the
fellow called Dowdy, and warrants have been
issued for their arrest, 'flic Justice held the
four accused in their own recognizance to ap
pear when McAndrew and Duwdy aro ar
rested. Ho also held Gradwell under liko
bail on tho statements made by Stanton.
Homo vegetablo soup, free, at ltrecn's to

others attracted to tho scene tho policeman

iniaii. Ho stated that ho was walking down
tho alley with a friend when two unknown
young men suddenly attacked them. Tho
friend got away, but I'utalawicz was felled
to tho ground by a blow from a coupling pin.
Tho blow caused a gash on tho victim's head
from which tho blood llowcd freely. Tho
cries of "Police!" by Putalawicz's friend
caused the robbers to beat a retreat after
tliey bad unsuccessfully searched tho pockets
of the prostrate man for money. Policeman
Hand found Putlawiczs purso containing
two dollars on the road near tho scene of tho
.struggle. It had fallen from tho pocket
when tho victim was lirst attacked. Hand
