FAST TIME MADE IN A LIGHT WIND| Lazy Tack Outward Followed by a Quick Run Home Shows the True Qual- ity of the New Urafe Syndicate’s NEW YORK, July 20.—Defender has met Vigilant and vanquished her over a of fifteen miles to windward ani return in A | tho same waters that the cup race will take by Passe ] | Wevhing nd Three place in, in September. The course of the kind wherein Valkyrie I1I. will meet the cup defender, and that Defender is a boat much superfor to the Vigilant clearly proven. The mew boat not only out- salled the old champlon to a remarkab! extent, but she outfooted her as well, when iling to windward. Moreover, on the run home before the wind, with Vigilant's center- board hauled, she gained on the champion, an advantage that her most enthusiastic ad- mirers did not anticipate. The weather was about what is to be expected during the season in which the cup will take place. There was a good breeze of from twelve to fifteen knots an hour blowing throughout the day and the water wa gmooth Taking everything into consilera- tion, the trial was all that could have been expected for in its results. It is believed the Vigilant has been improved from five to ten minutes over such a course, and if this Is the case the Defender must be a marvel. The public did not seem to understand that the race of today and that of Monday may do away altogether with the necessity formal trial races. Therefore the very inte: esting race was witnessed by a compara- tively small number of people. A yachtsman who has witnessed all the races during the last twenty years says that in his experience he never saw anything prettier in the way of a start than that of today. They were both of them over and away so quickly after the starting gun boomed that every on- looker knew the fight was to be to the death Vigilant was in perfect trim. It is tho tho owner of the Vigflant has spent where from $50,000 to $75,000 in getting his boat ready, either to beat the Defender, and In that way enable him to carry out a cher- ished desire, or to convince the American cup committee that in beating his boat De- fender will be well worthy of her name. There was no doubt in the mind of any expert who saw the race today that Vigilant was sailed for all that was in her. That she was beaten can be explained only one way, that is, that the other racer was a better boat. The program called for a start at 11 a. m and it was only twenty minutes after that hour that the regatta commenced. The club, who had arranged the race and were on board Commodore Brown's steam yacht Sylvia; ordered the firing of the preparatory gun. Sylvia took up a position to the cast- ward of the Scotland light and notified the yachts by signal that the course was o be from an imaginary line between the flagship and the mainmast of the Scotiand light, to windward, out into the open water or down the New Jersey coast and return before the wind, TEN-MILE WIND. Tho wind at this time was blowing about ten miles an hour, almost due from the south, The same breeze heid all day. It even increased during the afternoon, but the sea was at no time rough. Boats erulsed around to the eastward of the starting line until the word was given. When that did come both were standing in toward the New Jersey coast with the wind coming over the port side. They tacked down, Defender al- ways in the lead and getting over the water at a very rapid rate. Vigilant appeared to bo rather slugglsh, even as early In the day as that when .they both came around and headed back. toward the Scotland lights, where she took mere the form of a racer. Defender was at least four lengths ahead. Coming up close to the lightship, Defender was still several lengths ahead. She came around under the stern of the o'd vessel and then stood off. Both yachts had set main- stils, staysails, Jibs and jib top sails, with a great club topsail at the head of their masts. Defender’s club topsail is the biggest top- sail that was ever put at the top of a single stick, and in view of the fact that the De- fender’s gaff runs almost up and down from pole to deck, the size of the sail may be estimated. Round the lightship she’ flung herself across the line in a way that was not only clover from the expert standpoint, but beautiful. In twenty-five seconds came Vigi- lant, and she looked beautiful rounding the lightship. The yachts started over the line on the starboard tack. Defender was not fity feet beyond the line when she went over fo the port tack and headed for the New Jersey shore. Vigilant continued on her tack off shore up to11:35, or over four minutes from the time when she went over om her original tack. At 11:37 Defender went about again. In tacks that followed some people took the time between the luff in the wind and a full sail on the other tack as ten seconds. Val- kyrie was Indisputably a quick boat to tack She gained somewhere between ten and fif- teen seconds on Vigilant in getting about. If Defender can make her turn from full to full in anything like fifteen seconds she will do. On every tack that was made Defender showed up in the lead and her pointing up against the wind was something astounding. Detender's sails were almost chock full of wind, yet she headed up higher than the old boat by from a point to a point and a half. The Herreschoff model was steadily increas- ing the lead until she mistook the spot where the turning buoy was placed, and by this mis- Judgment lost probably three and a half min- utes. At the time Defender made the mis- take at the buoy she was something more than a mile ahead. ting back to her course, however, she rounded the buoy two minutes and thirty-four seconds abead of Vigilant. Heading up for home the yachts ran up bal- loon jib topsails, swung over their spinnaker was one races the handling of the sails Defender showed the excellent training that her crew had undergone, while the Vigilant's men were slower. In running home it locked as though Vigilant, with her center board hauled up, was gaining, but Defender went over the line first by two minutes and forty-five seconds, having fncreased her lead on that rum by forty-one seconds.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.—The Press today prints an interview with H. H. Holmes, who was visited In his prison cell by a re- porter of that paper. Holmes insists that he can prove an alibi with reference to the mur- der of the Pitzel children in Toronto, and says the authorities here cannot prove that Pitzel was murdered In this city. In view of the finding in Chicago of the charred bones supposed to be those of Minnie Wil- liams, as reported exclusively tn the Asso- clated press dispatches last night, Holmes statements with reference to that young woman are interesting. He says “I am as Innocent as a new-born babe of the charge of murdering the Pitzel children. I don't believe they were ever murdered, and it they were I am not guilty, Why, the last time I saw the boy, Howard Pitzel, was in Indfanapolis. Miss Willlams was then in Detroit, and we had arranged that she take Howard east. Soon after noon I sent the boy to her in Detroit, intending to follow soon. Before 1 reach:d Detroit, however, Minnie Williams had taken Howard east and stopped in Buffalo. I then came east with the two girls, and finally wound up in To- ronto. We had been there a short time when my wife arrived. She knew nothing about the existence ‘of the Pitzel children. Mrs, Pitzel, Dess and the baby came to Toronto shortly after. ither Mrs. Pitzel, my wie, nor Allce and Nellie Pitzel knew of each other's presence In that city. “I had good reasons for not letting Mrs. Pitzel know of the proximity of her chil- dren, for she was then in_delicate health. Wo first thought of sending Mrs. Pitzel along with Minnie Willlams and the three children to England, but her delicate health pre- cluded the idea. The man Hatch was in Toronto at that time. Finally it was decided to send Alic2 and Nellie Pitzel on to Niagara Falls, where Minnle Williams and Howard were. Everything was gotten in readiness for their departure. HIDDEN FROM THEIR MOTHER. “I had quite a hard time keeping the chil- dren’s presence hidden from Mrs. Pit “I succeeded, however, and escorted them to the railway station, where Hatch had gone by prearrangement. The four of us g0t on the train, and I rode probably a few miles out of the city with the children, When I was about to get off of the train Hatch suggested that he accompany the girls a few stations further, so that there would not be any mistake about their tick- ets. Nellle and Alice were traveling on half-fares, and I wanted to be sure that they got along on one whole ticket, which the conductor had not taken up when I left the train. So he went with the children, and he can tell where they can be found if any one can, “I came back to Toronto about 4 o'clock In the afternoon, and four hours later Mrs. Pitzel and tha two children had boarded a train for Burlington, as it was thought better she should stop at a quict hotel at that place Before leaving Toronto for Burlington with my wife, next morning, I met latch. He scemed all right, but there were no questions asked about the children, as I wanted the matter kept from my wife. He stayed there after us, When we arrived at Ogdensburg on our way to Burlington, Mrs. Pitzel was there. “After sending my wife to a hotel, I went to see Mrs. Pitzel. Hatch came to town in a few days and rented a vacant house, whers he put in a bed, a chair and a little stove. These things were to be found wherever Hatch was, as he never lived in a hotel, for private reasons. All our trunks were' taken to this house, and kept there until_we left Burlington. ' One afternoon 1 took Mrs. Pitzel to the Hatch hoygehold and showed her the trunks, one of which meeded mending. She saw the bed, the chair and the Iittle stove, and can tell ‘about it to this day. We stayed at Ogdensburg for over a week, and then went to Burlington. Hatch went' to Montreal to attend to some busi- ness. I may say here that Hatch and myself were engag:d In buying furs and other goods and” smuggling them across the border. That's why the trunks were sent to the vacant house in Ogdensburg. When we ware about two weeks in_Burlington, or three weeks after the two Pitzel girls had left Toronto, 1 went to a telegraph office to wire Hatch in Montreal to go to Niagara Falls and see the Pitzel children and Miss Williams off to Europe. THROWS SUSPICION ON HATCH. “I had written the message, and was about to hand it to the operator when Hatch walked into the office. It was a surprise to me to see him there, when I was under the impression that he was buying stuff in Montreal. Where he had been since I left Ogdensburg up to that time I don’t know. I wish I did, and don't Think that a cell in prison would be my home today if I knew that. Shortly after that I was arrested. Now the district attorney, Superiniendent Linden and all thess insurance people will tell you that Hatch is a_myth. The insur- ance officers and agents know better. “Why, I had scarcely thought gf the oc- currence in the telegraph office in Burlington when one day last December, Peary, the in- surance agent, asked me who that man was whom I met ‘in the telegraph office. I an- swered that the man was Hatch. “The company’s detectives tracked me all through the country, although I trled my best to avold them. They know very well who Hatch is, and they know that he was in Burlington. I am almost positive that they know much more about the movements of Hatch than 1 do. & “Going back to Toronto again, and the finding of the two bodies in the cellar of the St. Vincent house, I can say with all con- fldence that I can_prove an alibi to any charge that may be brought against me there. I can get at least six of the best | known business men to swear that I could not have rented the house where the bodies were found at the time stated by all those witnesses, “Hatch may have treated the children all right, but where did they get to if not to London with Minnie Williams? Hatch was in Toronto the day I left there with my wife for Ogdensburg on my way to Burlington. “I am eager to go to Torontp to stand my trial for the murder of Nellle and Alice | Pitzel.” Mrs. Howard, wife number three of H. H. Holmes, arrived in this city last night in response to District Attorney Graham's dis- patch. Sne s being closely guarded from interviews and ro information will be given as to her whereabouts. On Monday she is expected to have a conference with Mr. jrahem for the purpose of throwing some light on Holmes' movements while in Toronto and elsew here. IDENTIFIES THE BODIES. TORONTO, July 20.—Mrs. Pitzel has identified the bodies of the two children found in the cellar on St Vincent street as those of h girls, Allee and Nellie. The latter she identified by her heir and the former by a peculiarity of her upper front teeth. She was not allowed to see any other part of the bodies, as both were in such an advanced state of decompo- sition that it was thought the shock would derange her. As it was Mrs. Pitzel broke down com- pletely and sobbed and cried throughout the trying ordeal and long afterward. The de- tectives and the doctors were perfectly satis- fled with the identification. The case which the Canadian authoritles now have against Holmes fis very complete and Is much stronger than that made out against him at Philadelphla, which fact leads a great many here to believe that the prisoner will cer- tainly be extradited. Summed up, this is the case: Holmes had boen traced from the United States to this city with the children. His ideutity was established at the Palmer house and that of the children at the Albion Then both murderer and vietims were recognized at the very scene of the crime, not by one wit. ness, but by several. An immedlate motive for committing the deed is also clearly shown, being due to the fact that Mrs. Pitzel was in the city and might at any time meet the echildren on the street.
