AYERTED A SCENE AT THE END
The Condemned' Man Insisted That Ills
Lawyer, Mr. Rotan, Should Walk With
Him to the Scaffold, and the Prison
Officers Were Forced to Yield.
Philadelphia. May 0. In tho nrosonco
of hU nttornoy, Lawyor Snmuol P. Ilotnu,
Undertaker John J. O Kourko, Father
MoPnko and tho oniployes of tho Holy
Cros3 cemetery, at Yoadon, tho body of
Holnios was, at 3 o'clock yestorday nftor
noon, loworod into n Rravo dug ton feet
deep. Ho was accorded a Christian hurlnl,
nnd tho gravo or rather tho two gravos
selected for his comont filled box Is located
in tho western part of tho comotory, whoro
slnglo graves nro sold In consocrntod
ground.
Holnios' own wishes regarding his bu
rial havo boon carried out, mid his body is
probably now as snfo from tho ghouls as
It would bo If locked within tho vaults of
a safo deposit company. Tho box which
contnlns tho body lmbeddod In cement
that has already hardened weighs over a
ton and was too wldo to bo loworod into
an ordinary grnvo. Af tor tho body was
loworod into tho grnvo, tho grnvo diggers,
aided by a mason, and under tho super
vision of Lawyer Rotan, pllod upon the
box a layer of comont two feet thick. Tho
mntorlnl was packed in about tho sides
nnd onds of tho novol sarcophagus, nnd
when tho job wns finished tho romalns of
Holtnos wero pronouncod safo for all tlmo.
His tomb will bo a solid wall of rook.
It has boon dovolopod that a sceno wns
narrowly avortod at Holmes' execution.
Just, as Holmes wns preparing to loavo his
cell to join tho march to tho gallows ho
turned to Mr. Perkins, superintendent of
tho prison, and asked that Mr. Rotan bo
pcrmlttod to accompany him to tho scaf
fold and' stand besldo him on tho gallows.
Tho superintendent told tho murdoror thnt
ho could not nllow Mr. Rotan on tho scaf
fold with him.
"Then," said Holmes, with omphasts,
"I will not leavo this cell. I refuso to go
to tho scaffold."
Superintendent Perkins nrguod with tho
murdoror, tolling him that such n proceed
ing wns irregular, nnd that his roquost
could not possibly bo granted.
Holmes Insisted that his demand bo
compiled with. Ho would not llston to
tho objections advanced by Mr. Porklns,
nnd finally stepped across tho floor of his
coll and stood with his back agalnnt tho
wall. Tho suporlntendont begged him to
leavo his coll quietly, but Holmos wns ob
stinate. Ho told Mr. Perkins that unloss
Mr. Rotan was allowed to stand by his
sldo ho posit! voly would not movo 0110 step.
"Unless you do as I ask," ho said, "I
will not loavo this coll. You will havo to
uso forco to get mo to tho gallows. You
bad better do It, or thoro will bo a scouo on
tho scaffold."
Knowing tho naturo of tho man ho had
to deal with, Superintendent Porklns
thought It prcfornblo to glvo in to him
rathor than to proclpltato n most hnrrow
ing nnd disgraceful scene. So ho finally
consontcd, and Holmos wnlkod from his
cell down tho corridor to tho scaffold ns

It Considerably Modifies the Appearance
of His Case.
WAS A SMOULDERING SENSATION
The Young Man Stopped Business at His
Bakery and Suddenly Left Town,
This, Followed by a Warrant,
Caused Considerable Talk.
Tho bakery and confectionery which was
conducted by John F. l'lopiiert.on livst Ccntro
street, has been closed for thrco days and this.
In tho absence of an announcement, caused
considerable talk, which grew Into n smoth
ered sensation yesterday when it becaino
known that I'loppcrt had disappeared and
that a warrant had been issued fur his arrest.
Tho developments to-day, however, showed
that while on the surface tho circumstances
were of a very sensational character, tho real
facts wero comparatively unimportant and,
although a warrant has been served in tho
matter and Mr. I'loppcrt is under bail, tho
whole affair springs more from a family dis
agreement than anything else.
The facts appear to bo that somo tlmo ago
I'loppcrt was sold out at Shcrlirs tale on a
judgment nolo given to protect his father,
who claims to have furnished tho capital for
tho business. Tho bakery and confectionery
was re-opened and conducted until last
Thursday, when Gcorgo F. I'loppcrt, tho
father, t lie son alleges, stopped tho business.
Tho cause for this act.it is claimed, was a
family disagreement. The blinds of tho storo
wero pulled down and yesterday morning
John, tho son, left town. Immediately after
tho father caused a warrant to bo issued chare.
ing larceny as bailee. Tho specific chargo was
that John had had a horso in his possession
as bailco for tho father. Tho animal was
injured on account of a defectivo highway in
West Jlahanoy township and a few days ago
Juhn collected $100 damages and kept tho
money. Last night John returned of his
own volition and was arrested by Constahlo
Phillips this morning. John said that ns his
father stepped tho business he went to
Jlahanoy City and llazlcton to look fur work.
and that was all there was to his sudden
departure,',-.-Ho furnished $300 hall for trial
on the chargo brought, by his father. It is
generally Dollcvcu tnat all parlies will cool
down in a few days and an amicable settle
ment will ho made. Tho bakery Is still idle
and tho storo closed,
