A portion of a lady' pocket, with a large puffed sleeve, lay with the bones, and on the cloth was a bunch of hair, which, however, was so badly discolored that its original shade could not be deter- mined. Dr. Charles North, to whom were submitted for examination, pronounced them portions of a human skeleton. He had not applied chemical tests, he said, but after a superfiicial examination he had no doubt that they were human bones.

As the result of the finding of a human_skele- ton, believed to be that of Gertrude Connor, in the subcellar at the Holmes house at §01 Sixty-third street today, Chief Badenoch has decided to hold Joseph C. Owens and Pat- rick Quinlan, the two janitors of the build- ing, for further investigation. The chief of police came to the conclusion to hold the men after an examination, which was con- ducted in his office, and which lasted nearly five hours. From their answers to questions, he believes both men have guilty knowledge of the criminal operations of the man Holmes, and_the finding of the bones now leaves no doubt that in addition to his known swindling operations, Holmes is also guilty of murder in Chicago.

Barrett, who was formerly a_waiter in a San Francisco restaurant, says he saw Dur. | rant and the two girls on a street car, and admiring Miss Lamont and Miss Williams, he boarded the car in the hope of making their acquaintance. The trio alighted at Emanuel church, Barrett following. Durrant and Miss Lamont entered the church, followed Barrett, while Miss Wil liams waited outside. Barrett says he hid behind a_pew. Detecting an_odor of escaping gas, Durrant went to the belfry to stop the leak. Barrett says he seized and attempted (o assault Miss Lamont. To stifle her screams, he choked her and she suddenly dropped dead. To silence Miss Williams, Bar- rett says he then stabbed her with a knife from the restaurant. Meantime Durrant had been overcome by the gas and was so dazed that he did not see Barrett carrying the bodies to the belfry. Barrett says he did not wish Durrant to be hanged for his crime, and that he was sure he would eventually be found out. Barrett resembles Durrant in personal ap- pearance. He has worked here as a waiter but fs perfodically dissipated. He pers in his statements, despite a Severe cross-ex- amination. He will be examined for in- sanity. 1 AN FRANCISCO, July.24—The trial of Theodore Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont will be resumed tomorrow. The dis trict attorney will then present afdavits stating that Durrant can have a fair trial here, and it is expected the motion for a change of venue will be denied. The county Jail is besieged by women duily, anxious to by see Durrant and to leave flowers for him In both wishes they are disappointed. The jallers say Durrant enjoys his notorlety. He has hitherto paid little attention to religious matters, but is now recelving the visits of a Roman Catholic priest and it is said he will embrace that religion. Funds for his defense are sald to be supplied by relatives in Can- ada. ABOUT THROU 1 WITH EVIDENCI Swear Dr. H n Was nt Home Night of the Murde ST. LOUIS, July 24—A dispatch to tne Post-Dispatch from Hannibal, Mo., says Today will about finish up' the Hearn-De Young libel. guit so far as! the taking of depositions goes in this city. It is definitely settled that Mrs. Hearn will not go on the stand. Miss Virginia Hearn, the 20-year-old daughter of Dr. Hearn, testified today that on the night of the murder after their re- turn from the Munger party she heard her faler about the house up to the time she went to sleep, about 1 o'clock. Mrs. Willlam C. Perkins, a sister of Dr. Hearn's first wife, remembered hearing her motaer often talk about the murder. Her mother had often said she could swear that Dr. Hearn never left the house after he came in from the party. 4 Mrs. Mary L. Smith, who had been Dr Hearn’s schiool teacher in Versailles, Ky., in 1865, and who had lived in Hannibal since 1872, testified that up to the time of the mur- der his reputation was of the best Willis M. Baxter, W, R, Pitts, John Fr lin, Dr. P. L. Kabler, John D, Garth, p dgnt of the Farmers and Merchants hank; John H. Franklin and C. N, Lee were put on the stand by the plaintiff to testify to his reputation prior to the murder. They all said it was good, but as with those called the on this subject yesterday admitted that rumor had connected the names of Dr. and Mrs. Hearn with tne murder. Colonel Rufus F. Anderson, whose name has been closely connected with Dr. Hearn's in a'l the scandal attaching to the Stiliwell murder, followed the above named gentle- man and swore to the doctor's good reputa tion prior to the murder. He knew Dr Hearn particularly well, having an office for years with him in the same building. The witness was asked if Mrs. Stillwell visiteu his office in the carly part of December and asked about securing a_ divorce from Mr. Stillwell, as deposed by Plerre Heather. “I have no recollection of any such event,” sald Co'onel Anderson, “I had no more than a speaking acquaintance with her until the death of her husband. I knew of no dis- cgreement between her and her husband So far as I knew they were getting along nicely. If any such conference had trans- pired [ am satisfied that it would fave im- pressed itself on my mind.” “Did you urge Mrs, Stillwell to get a di vorce from her husband?" never did, sir; never!" “What, if anything, did you know of a criminal intimacy between Mrs. Stillwell and Dr. Hearn?" “Nothing in the Colonel Anderson sation between Dr. Hearn's world.” then detalled a himse'f and Mrs. mother-in-law, relative to the doctor's presence in the house the night of the murder. It corresponded to Mrs. Per- kin's statement, made yestorday. The cross-examination of Colanel Anderson was not finished at 12 @'elock, when Judge Harrizon adjourned the hearing nutil 1:30.

LOUISVILLE, July 24.—A, special to the Times from Barboursville, Ky., says: Late last night Rosa Garden; a woman of bad character living near Cgrbm i this county became involved in a difficulty with two other women, named Mary Sullivan and Liz- zie Brown, in which she used:a two-edged dagger, cutting one of the girls in the heart and the other in the abdomen, from which they immediately died. The murderess e caped to Whitley county, where she gave herself into the hands of the awthorities just in time to save herself from.the violence of a tremendous mob, which was in close pursult, with the intention of suspending her to the most convenient limb. Great excitement pri vails throughout this eit pd violence may result.

FROM THE INDIANS' SIDE. Henry Fontenelle, a quarter breed and a trapper in the tribe, was first to be heard Two years or more ago, Fontenelle said, the Omahas met in the blacksmith shop and in council assembled agreed to make a lease to Edward Farley of some 23,000 acres of unim- proved land for five years. He paid per acre originally 6 cents, later it was increased to 10 cents, then got as high as 25 cents. Wh the lease expired Farley wanted to renew the land for five years, but the tribe objected for the reason that they wanted the ue of the lands for themselves, They decided to lease wit sub; aboi wild cau willing h. “How about people are expressing a desire to see Mr. Cleveland nominated again next year.” “As close a: Mr. Carlisle, ject in ut it did not want CHICAGO, d rush toda than yesterday, at se for t very light moven Carlisle then not since the government was founded has any administration as this administration has than land did not seek the nomination of 1892, it certainly do nothing toward getting the nom- ination.
