The bone was so small that the searchers did not at first attach much significance to it. The doctor says It Is certainly a plece of human bone, but he cannot détermine to what part of the anatomy it belongs. An old sponge was also found and as it is discolored, the police suspect that possibly it was once saturated with blood. A chemical analysis will be made. One of the important finds made by the police today in their search of the “castle” was a bench covered with stains resembling blood. The bench was found in a deserted store room next to the apartment in which Pat Quinlan slept. The police were in doubt as to the nature of the stains and an analysis will be made. Chief of Police Badenoch put Quinlan and his wife through another severe bxamin- ation today. It is beileved that the pair can give sensational evidence If they can be made to talk, and Quinlan will be kept under police guard, Dr. Robison, who was called to examine the stains on the bench said they were undoubt- edly blood. It s believed by the police that Holmes used the bench as an operating table on which he dismembered his victims before disposing of their bodies. Attorney William Capras of Fort Worth Tex., visited police headquarters today, repre- senting the Texas heirs of the Willlams girls. He said he would endeavor to prove that deeds to the girls' property held by Holmes are forgeries. After being closeted with the chief of police and Mr. and Mrs. Quinlan for nearly five hours, Willlam Ca- pras, the lawyer from Texas for the heirs of Minnie Williams, stepped from the sweat box this afternoon. “I think Quinlan fs weakening and will tell the truth now,” he said, “‘but Mrs. Quin- lan s obdurate. I have come from Texas to follow this matter up. I knew Holmes at Fort Worth when he came there as Pratt, with Pitzel as E. T. Lyman, and Quinlan as their confidential man. You see, Holmes had not recorded the deed he forged after murder- ing Minnie Williams in June until Januady of the next year. Then, no longer fearing in- quiries, for he had made away with Nanple, too, he had the property transfocred to a fictitious man named Bond, 0 Qanlui practically admitted today. The houss they built was an exact counterpart of the lioimes castle here and fust as mysterious. O tl property Holmes borrowed $10,09) from o bank and raised as much more from private parties.” MRS. QUINLAN MAKES ADMISSIONS Mrs. Patrick Quinlan lost her defiant spirit in the police inquisition today. Two days of t box” experience proved more than she could bear with equanimity and she told the police things which before had not been acknowledged. It has resulted in making the pelice more than ever suspicious of her Lusband and the part he took in the myster- fous business of Holmes. ‘Our evidence today, “secured Quinlan, s highly important,” said Chief Badenoch tonight. “She has confessed to abetting Holmes in his swindles, and that fs a step in the right direction. Pat Quinlan, up to this hour, firmly protests that he was a mere hireling and did not know Holmes' af- fairs at all. Mrs. Quinlan's evidence was that after Mrs. Connor disappeared it became necessary for Holmes to produce her to collect some insurance. Mrs. Quinlan consented to act in her place. She went to an insurance offic in La Salle street, not yet located, and swore she was Mrs. Conner and signed that name. I think she was wanted to attest in the collection of some insurance that was to be secured by fraud. This opens the way to other deals which it is necessary to know to fasten the guilt of many suppcsed murders.’ Inspector Fitzpatrick located Quinlan’s child today. ‘“Little Cora Quinlan is safe and sound,” he said, “at the hcme of the John: her grandparents, near Laconta, Mich Mrs. Quinlan from Mrs. is locked in a cell In the Harrison street station tonight. A man named Osmer W. Fay was also brought tc light today, who admitted that he wrote the policles for the insurance on the lives of Holmes and Pitzel. He admits very frankly that Holmes encouraged him to keep afte: Pitzel until he got his insurance writte saying that Pltzel might drop off at any time. Mr. Fay also knew Pat Quinlan, and also Holmes always assured him that Quin- lan was a man “to be trusted with any kind of a job, and who would do it well and be tray nothing." NO HOPE OF HOLMES CONFESSING, Hin- Attorney Suys He Has Already Told All He Knows. PHILADELPHIA, July 26.—Lawyer Wil- liam A. Shoemaker, who represents H. H. Holmes, made a suggestion today: “Did it ever occur to you," he asked an Associatel press reporter, “that the Minnie Willizm who was murdered by Theodors Durrant in San Francisco last April was of about the same age as the Minnie Williams of this case; that she was not known in that city and had no relatives? Who knows but that the 'Frisco Minnie might be the missing girl? It is true that when the William: girl left Holmes she sail she was going Europe, but there is no positive knowledge hat she did go. Mr. Shoemaker was shown the story from Chicago to the effect that Janitor Quinlar was implicated in the case almost as deeply as the arch-conspirator; that Quinlan had Kept a woman whose first name was Lizzle in the castle, and who had a sister working in the restaurnat in the building, and that a child was born and mysteriously disap- pearel; and that Quinlan’s wife suddenly appeared on the scene and the girl, Lizzie, was hurried away, and is now thought to be in Omezha. The story sald, esides, that under instructions from Holmes in this city, Quinlan had destroyed all of the letters apers, clothing and other articles which might ald in the tracing of his career, and the confession was extractel from Holmes involving Quinlan. Mr. Shoemaker declared the story was entirely new to him, 8o far as sending instructions to Quinlan was concerned, Holmes, while in the city hall here, had been permitted to send and re- cefve mail, but since his confinement in prizon be cannot do so without the sancticn of the prison officials, who read all letters, “The public mind had better be disabused of the idea that Holmes will make a con- fession," continued the attorney. ‘“‘He has told ali he has to tell and has nothing more to confess, He feels confident that he can not be convicted of murder and just as con- fident that when the time comes it will be proved that the bodles found were used in insurance schemes only. The police of Chi cago have no case at all, and have merely been cutting a ridiculous figure before the public. I know nothing of Holmes being tried here. The first officiab notice 1 would get would be an indictment, and so far as I W, o steps have been {aken in that i on."" District Attorney Graham also said today that no decision had been reachel regarding the place of trial he only dlary I know of,” sa'd Mr. Shoe maker, “is on Holmes' person. It was kept by his wite, Mrs, Howard, in her own hand- writing, and she Is mistaken when she says he left her for two days during the time the journal was kept in Toronto. He was never away from her a whole day or a whole night." ““There is absolutely no truth in this story that Holmes is broken down. He is in very 80od spirits and Is busy at present settling up his business affalrs—tursidg his real estate into cash, Two Weeks age George B Chamberlain, a Chicago lawyer, spent several hours here on behalf of partles in that city who desire to purchase. “The securities consist of farm tands, town lots and other properties In vatious parts of the country. He controld the “castle” block in Chicago, besides the $40,000 worth of prop- erty in Fort Worth, Tex. 1 saw this block ast fall, when 1 was down thero on this case. Holmes built this block, he having ob- tained the ground by a trade of a Chicago property with Miss Willl&ms, who had in- herited it from her father. “Holmes did not know a Miss or Mrs. Connor in Chicago—1 do not know which, be- cause I never talked with him much about this. Quinlan, I think, wa& janitor In the ‘castle’ pretty much all the time Holmes was there. Quinlan's wife lived there in winter and went to a farm in summer. ““Holmes is anxious that Quinlan, as well as everybody else, should tell the truth.in the case and conceal nothing. “We expect Mrs. Howard to testify to the truth regardless of where It lights, and if she does it will be in Holmes' favor. We are anxious to have her testify rather than to throw obstacles in the way, as has been said. I want it understood that he desires every body to tell the truth.” Is he setting the example?” was asked. “Well, I have never known him to de- ceive me in anything. He thinks, and so do 1, that a_true statement of all the facts at the trial will be of the greatest assistance in proving his innocence.’ SAYS THE GIRL W NTTO OMANA Anothér Mysterious Raked Out of the CHICAGO, July 26.—Pat Quinlan, the jani- tor of the Holmes “castle,” is in serious danger. He carried the thirty-seven keys which opened the various doofs, secret and otherwise, to the chambers of Hlomes' castle. He was the factotum of Holmes. Quinlan is between two fires. If Holmes confesses, as it 1s expected he will, he may tmplicate Quinlan, and if Quinlan confesses he must apparently implicate himseif. Damaging evidence against Quinlan has ac- cumulated more rapidly in- the past twenty four hours than that against Holmes. De- tective Norton was informed that early in the career of Quinlan with Holmes the former kept at the castle a girl whose first name was Lizzie. She had a sister working in the restaurant connected with the castle. This Lizzie gave birth to a child, which Holmes took care of. What became of it is unknown save to Holmes and Quinlan. The report spread about Sixty-third street that Quinlan was about to marry the girl. Sud- denly his wife, who had not been living at the castle, appeared on, the kcene. Lizzie was hurried out of the city and it is said she is now in Omaha. An effort will be made to find her. To Quinlan it appears were sedt the-orders from Philadelphia to destroy all of Holmes’ papers, clothing and other articles which might aid the detectives in traeing his ca- veer. How faithfully Quinlan did this is to be seen in the littte of Holmes' effects to be found in the castle. MES' PAL IN THE Dixappenrance Imex Mexs. FOUND HO Declines to Talk One of the Willinms Girls ix Dead. ST. LOUIS, July 26.—A special to the Pos Dispatch from Little Rock, Ark, says: has been discovered at Foet Worth, Tex., a few days ago that the Arkansas penitentiary holds a former pal of H/'H. Holmes, the al- leged murderer of Pitzel aud others, and tha he s in po which the Fort Worth: authofitiea-aré " willing to go to considerable expense in obtainivg His name_is John C.’ Allen, allas John H Calwell, alias John C. Caldwell, and is sery- ing a fifteen-year term in the Arkansis peni- tentiary for horse stealing. It was learned that he knew Holmes. Last night W. M Rea .of Fort Worth arriyed in the city and this morning had a lengthy conversation with Allen. The latter, so the sheriff says, de- clined to give any information, except to say that one of the Wililams girls is dead, bu that the other Is alive, but which one I alive and which is dead he declines to say. Sheriff Rea says he will remain in Little Rock two or three days longer and intimates that if Allgn wiil give him the information he wants he will have accomplished more than all the detectives in the country, who have been working so long on the Holmes case. Williams Girls Known in Denver. DENVER, July 26.—The unfortunate Min- nie Willlams and her sister, whom Holmes is accused of having murdered, came to Den- ver early in 1892, with their brother, who was in poor health. They took rooms at the an apartment house at 1425 1 avenue, and soon became very popular ) the other guests. Minnie was about 20 or 26 years of age, and besides being appar- ently “well educated, was an accomplished elocutionist. She had studied elocution in HBoston. She appeared for three weeks on the stage of the old Fiteenth Street theater as a member of a stock company. Those who knew her affirm of her character that it was gentle, but weak, and that her feeling for Holmes—whom she knew as Harry Gordon at that time—whatever it was, was no head- long infatuation for a romantic hero. The brother died in the latter part of the winter, and the sisters took the body home to Texas. The impression prevails among those here who knew the girl, that she met Holmes, who she knew only as Gordon, in Chicago. He ap- peared in Denver some time after the World's fair and told various friends of the girl that sho had married and had gone to India with her husband. Whether this was before or after the murder of the girk cannot b learned. N Anxious to Get Holmes. TORONTO, July 26.—WHile (he police and dotactives are eager for fhe extradition of Hol , it is learned that|[the attorney genm- eral Is in no way anxioud to be put to the expense and trouble of theé trial, if a con- viction upon a capital charge can be had sewhere.

SAWYER PUT 0N THE STAND Asked Concerning the Reasons for the Ar- rest of Sheriff Mullin, UNABLE TO EXPLAIN ONE POINT Concluxion of the Congressionnl In- vestigation of the Trouble the Omaha and Winnebago Indian Reservatl PENDER, Neb., July 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—At the session of the congressional committee last evening United States Attor- ney Sawyer was placed on the stand. He claimed that Sherifft Mullin was arrested for interfering with the officers of the govern- ment while discharging their duties on an Indian reservation, over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction. Senator Thurston asked him how It could be that Justice of the Peace Londrosp, before whom the sheriff was brought for trial, could claim any jurisdiction in view of the fact that he was merely an officer of the state, That was a pofnt which Mr. Sawyer did rot seem able to answer. When he was asked why he did not get ot a writ of habeas corpus for the Indian police who were arrested and placed in the Thurst)n county jall he said thelr sentence was so short that he did not have time. A large delegation of Omaha Indians were present and stated that they did not want the agent to transact their business for Uiem, and requested that that power be taken away from him. Senator Thurston and Congressmen Meikle- john, Strode and Andrews left this morniag on the southbound train, and Senator Allan and Court Reporter Donnell on the north- bound this afternoon CAPTAIN BECK . WASHINGTON, July 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—It does not scem possible that the Interior department will comply with the re- quest of five members of the Nebraska con- gressional delegation that approval of leases made by Captain Beck be suspended and cvictions be discontinued until the senators and congressmen have had time to investi gate and report to the department. Their telegram was referrel fmmediately to the Indian office. An official of the Indian bureau today said that Interior department would suspend the ap- proval of leases and order evictions stopped. The Indian office is still determined to eu tain Captain Beck, and it is believed that the agent is only carrying out orders has done nothing for which he should be reprimanded. His alleged action, however, in speaking to senators in a discourteous manner has not proven pleasing to Interior department officials. They have heretofore been very well satisfled with Agent Beck's course. They are determined that the leases with the Flournoy company are illegal, and hence the only way for settlers to protect themselves {s to come forward and take their leases through the agent. No official action will be taken until the arrival of the secre- tary of the interior, who is in Georgia, and wiil not return before the last of next week. A communication will be sent, acknowledging the receipt of the telegram from members f the delegation, and advising settlers to fake out new leases. Interior department officlals are not inclined to plage credence asion of valGdglel intozm 3ol ierent et (halsctilors wil sus. on.

His attempt was a bold one and resulted In the death of Larry Keating, the oldest guard on the force. Night Guard Tom Parker and Larry Keating haid just gone on duty. Turnkeys Eoff and McConnel were engaged In locking up. On account of the hot weather and the long days the prisoners are allowed to remain in the cor- ridors until 7 o'clock. When running in the prisoners, all retired to their «cells and the two upper floors were run in without inci- dent on murderer’s row. After the break had been thrown, Eoft went in to lock the cells, while McConnel remained at the door. When Eoft reached the cell next to Cherokee Bill's he found the key hole plugg:d and while he was trying t clean it out, Cherokee Bill came to the door and fired, 'shooting Keating through fhe stomach. ' He ran to the end of the corridor and fell dead. Eoff ran back to th: corridor on the east side of the cells and McConnel, Parker and several deputy marshals ran in nd opened fire on Cheroke: Bill, whenever he tried to leave his cell.

Slow progr made. Of the ten examined only one was passed, and he may be chal- lenged by the defense later on. The main question of the prosecution to jurors is “Would you convict a man and inflict th denth penalty on circumstantial evidence? The defendant’s questions are basel upon the famillarity with the newspaper com ents upon Durrant and the crime of which he is accused. Almost all the jurors sum moned have formed impressions = which will require strong evidence to remove. It Is apparent that the defense will make a hard fight on technicalities, and will take ad vantage of every loophole. Counsel for the prisoner lay traps for the judge, with the apparent purpose of leading him into a wrong ruling, which may form the basls of an ap peal to a higher court.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, July 26.—Com- menting upon the speech delivered by Cun- ningham R, Scott, which was given publicity in the Nonpareil this morning, the Evening Globe says editorially, under the caption, | “Vulgarity Vulgarized:" “The speech delivered by the judicial *“pa- triot” in Omaha last night and published in a local paper this morning, Is one of the most base, vulear and putrid eftusions we nave ever read. If this were to come from the lips of the lowest slum it could be no more vile, nor any less decent. When it comes from a judge on the bench what shall we say or think of the Integrity of the people by whose suffrage he was elected? If we were not famillar with the facts, we would say at once that he,rul over a district of outlaws, libertines, thugs and thieves, for only such talent as he has displayed finds reward at the hands of that class of people. He has not only brought reproach and upon the bench of Doug has gone so far rape upon the most sacred rights of citizens. There would be no end or limit to his judiclal transgressions were it not that he Is amena- ble to higher judicial authority. When the electors of the Douglas county district placed him upon the bench they knew lit- tle of him. Had they made inquiry Iin Councll Bluffs, where he once lived, and where he exhausted his character and credit before leaving, they would have done differently. But they know him now, and they can offer no satisfactory or pal lative excuse to the public should they fall to relegate him to obscurity at the | end of his term. No such man should be entrusted with judiclal authority. Not only does this Involve the dignit rity and purity of the bench, but it involves along with that he liberty of citizens—the most sacred heritage of all. Indecent and unjust as this judiclal monstrosity fs, it is to be expected that he will have a few followers who will remain with him. For since the braying ass and the loquaclous parrot re- tain a clientage it would be unreasonable to suppose that all of his followers will desert him, notwithstanding the inevitable- ness of the sudden, total and perpetual eclispe of his horoscopie star, But the bet- ter element of the people can certainly not afford to endorse his rude and unmanly conduct and will no doubt hasten to not only disarm him of judicial authority, but disrcbe him of all public respe WIND AND racterized sgrace As county, but he as to h and commit SEVERE HAIL STORMS, Telegraphic Many Points 0, July 26.—Dispatches form many points tell of a furious rain, wind and hall storm this morning.

M. Earle of Salt Lake. The party intended to go to Jackson's lake, but were barred out by the hostile Indians, and they heard the report that a number of white settlers had been killed. Riley Howard, a renchman of Wilford, Idaho, who arrived at Market Lake today, says he heard the report both at Rexburg, on the direct trail to Jackson's park, and St. An- thony that sixteen entire families in Jack- son’s Hole had been Killed Adjutant General Stitzer sent a messenger to the besieged district eariy yesterday morns ing.

They are now camped at Cokeville, about 100 miles east of here, but will not venturs further north at present. Mr. Hoyt Sherman, jr., one of the most prominent citizens of Salt Lake, was in the city last night, having left his family at a big ranch twenty-five miles north of Soda Springs. On learning the serious condition of affairs north of them he returned on the next train to take them home to Salt Lake. There is a party of twenty-five Salt Lgke people at the same place, and upon Mr. Sherman’s return this morning they will all undoubtedly decide to leave that part of the country also. G. H. Nickerson, a elvil engineer, arrived: in Pocatello this morning, having just come from the Big Caribou mine, which Is located south of the Teton basin, and not far' froti the scene of the present hostilitied. He said that for many nights Indian signal fites have been burning on the highest mountain peaks in the state. Yesterday the stage met four Indians driving seventy-five horses toward this reservation. They said they were re. turning to stay, as there was no hunting, but the frontiersmen saw a very different intent behind their journey. In all the drove of horses there was not one pack horse and only one colt. There were no sqaws along and not one rifle had been brought from the troublesome district. The oxplanation of the move is that before an- other sun sets these swift ponfes will be healed the o.her way again and each one will carry an Indian warrior. RUMORED INDIAN DRPREDATION.
