SOLD PATENT RIGHTS.
Holmes Not Particular as to Who
Were the Purchasers.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-To.day it became
known that Holmes was the head OF what
purported tn be an Incorporated company
called the A. B. c. Copying Company, with
headquarters iu the Monon building on
Dearborn street this city. The copying
machine which Holmes sold was without
merits, out the sale of territory to agents
was a great source OF revenue. 1t is said
that the State of Ohio sold for $4,000 cash.
Both the Dakotas and a majority of the
Western States were disposed of. A COM
pany was organized 10 New York and paid
$500 psr month for merely the agency of
that city. Some of the States were sold as
many times, it is said. as Holmes could
find purchasers. Holmes had in the Office

MISS DURKEE'S STORY.
Holmes Used fier TO Defraud His
Chicago Creditors.

Holmes Used Her TO Defraud His
Chicago Creditors.
OMAHA, Nebr.. Nov. 22.-Miss Kate
Durkee, whose connections with Holmes,
the insurance swindler, has been so widely
her aided and who it was thought might
have been murdered. is living in this city
with her brother, the assistant auditor of
the Burlington road. Miss DIrkee says
she only knew Holmes through his wife,
with whom she was intimate in her child
hood. She had visited Mrs. Holmes fire.
quently in Chicago, and during one of her
visits the real estate deal which brought
her into prominence was made. This was
about four years ago. Holmes asked Miss
Durkee as favor to allow him to transfer
his city property to her. He said that as
he was situated at the time it would be a
great convenience. Miss Durkee consented
without asking questions.
He explained at the time that il was only
matter of form, and being ignorant of
business affairs she accepted his statement
as being true. The property was deeded
to her and she never had the deed record
ed. Some time afterward Holmes came to
her and requested her to have him ap-
pointed "a her administrator, SO that he
could handle the property as he wanted
to. She did so, and at his request decided
the property to a man in Chicago named
Campbell, but she does not know who he
is or what was his occupation. After this
Holmes sent her some stock in some enter
prise in which he was interested, asking
her to keep it for him awhile. In the lat
ter part of May or the first of June, 1892,
Holmes and several persons came to Omaha
to take her deposition regarding the prop
erty. Each of them was represented by a
lawyer. also from Chicago, and one of them
explained at the time that they had been
of the opinion that she was mythical
person. The cause of their coming here
was suit brought against Holmes by some
drug company in Chicago to whom he
owed a sum of money. This was the last
of the transactions between Holmes and
Miss Durkee.
After the transfer of the property to her
Miss Durkee was summoned to ON aha by
telegraph on account Of the sudden illness
of her brother, and she left without an OPP
p0rtunity to explain her unexpected de-
parture. This ,sshe believes, is the founda-
ton for the story that she was m ur0ered.
Last August Miss Durkee was again in
Chicago. Holmes was out of the city and
she was told by Mrs. Holmes that he had
gone to Philadelphia to attend to some
business in regard to an insurance case.
Miss Durkee says she is almost sure that
the name mentioned was PitZei, and that
Holmes went in behalf of Mrs. pitzel.
