THE PREDICAMENT
In Which DR.. Holmes Finds Himself.
A Former Resident of Hillsboro Arrested
on a Serious Charge.

The publication of the details of the
arrest and confession of Charles Bell in
Sundays Commercial Gazette created quite
a sensation here, where DR.. j. w.
Holmes, one Of the principal actors,
formerly resided and is we'll known.
1t will be remembered that in the
latter part of October Miss Effie West,
the daughter of prominent druggist
of Centerville, Clinton county, died un-
der circumstances which indicated very
strongly that the death was the result
of a criminal operation. Charles Bell,
a schoolteacher OF the neighborhood,
was thought to be implicated in the
affair and shortly disappeared. It was
also stated at the time that prominent
physician of Greenfield was connected,
but nothing definite could be discovered.
Last week the fugitive Bell was arrest
ed at Amidee, Mo-, and brought to
Wilmington and on Saturday made a
full confession, duplicating DR.. ]. w.
Holmes, of Greenfield, as the physician
who had performed the operation on
the Sunday preceding Miss Vests
death.t~ Fairfax West, Miss Vests
father, and w. w. Savage, Clinton
county's Prosecutor, came to this place
on Saturday morning and secured war.
rants for the arrest of DIR. Holmes and
the re-arrest of Bell.
DR.. Holmes arrest created profound
sensation in Greenfield, where he is
quite we'll known. He asserts his in.
nocence and demands speedy trial.
Bell, it is believed, will plead guilty and
seek the clemency of the court.
Bell and DR.. Holmes were both
brought here on Tuesday morning and
their preliminary examinations held
before Judge Meek. The prosecution
was represented by w. w. Savage, Bell
by Laws, of Wilmington, and DR.. Holmes
by Irwin and Wilson. Both of the ac-
cused were bound over to court in the
sum of ST. 900 each.
