STILL ANOTHER MISSING.
SwindIer Holmes Believed to Have Murdered
Three Women at Chicago.

Chicago Nov. 21.-H. H. Holmes, the
insurance swindler, is charged with being
the cause of the mysterious disappearance
of third woman during his operations
in Chicago. That person is Miss Kate
Durkce She is said to have had con
siderable property. A year ago the crcdi-
tors of Holmes made IA desperate effort to
find out who and where Miss Durkee was.
1t was supposed at the time that she was
an accomplice of Holmes and that the
property illegally obtained was being
transferred in her name. Suddenly Kate
Durkee dropped from sight and like the
Williams sisters, left no trace behind.
George b. Chamberlain, proprietor of
the Mercantile Agency, who represents a
number of Holmes creditors, believes
that Miss Durkee was murdered. Kate
Durkee was the name signed to mort
gage on some real estate of considerable
value The mortgage was turned over to
Chamberlain for the benefit of the credi-
tors. Shortly after the mortgage was
given to Holmes at his request
to have a clerical error corrected, and the
document was never returned.
At this time the Misses Williams disap-
peared, and a search for the giver of the
mortgage failed to disclose any such per
son, although Holmes had given several
references Investigation showed that
these people met a dark woman who was
introduced as Miss Kate Durkee, but they
did not know her personally.

PITEZEL MYSTERY.
Daughter Says She Knows
Her Father Is Alive.
Insurance Company Confident of Re-
covering Part Of Lost Funds.
The Missing Pitezei Children Are With Their
Father. Says Holmes.

Philadelphia. Nov. 2l.-President Fouse
of the defrauded insurance company,
said, this afternoon: Il think murder
was done. and | believe that the victim
was man other than PiteZel. Our rep
reSentative says that Mr. Ryan, with
whom PiteZel was seen, is Chicago bus
iness man who knows PiteZel well, hav
ing had business relations. Our Chicago
man subsequently saw Ryan, and the
latter declared his inability TO locate
Pitezel, the two having parted after leav
ing the saloon. The Pinkerton agency
has representative now at work upon Il
clue, and l should not be surprised if
Pitezel is found in n few days.
Lawyer Howe is expected TO arrive, this
evening, from st. Louis with Attorney
Mcdonald to answer to the charge of
conspiracy.
President Fouse states that he expects
to recover a portion, at least, of the $40,
600 fraudulently secured from the asso-
citation. I'VE procured an attachment in
st. Louis against Howe, he added, "to
recover $4,000 of the money he received. y
As Holmes maintains that the three
missing Pitezel children are with the
father, the discovery of the supposed
victim will probably clear up the mystery
regarding the offspring
President Fouse had an interview, this
afternoon, with Mrs. Pitezel. The lat
ter's 16-years- old daughter Media was in
the cell and the talk had not proceeded
far when the girl declared that she be
lieved that her father was alive. The
daughter told of an interview that she had
with her father in Chicago, in August last,
during which Pitezcl said: "My daugh-
ter, if any time you hear | am dead or any
thing very serious has happened to me, do
not believe it, l will be safe, no matter
what you hear"
The girl barely finished making this
statement when her mother sprang to her
feet, throwing her arms about wildly, and
exclaimed: '"Such lies, such falsehoods,
never met with as in this affair. Even
you, my own child, deceived me heart
lessly and mercilessly' AS the mother
finished she cast IA look of scorn on her
daughters cringing figure. --ss---~sa =
The girl further said that after the death
of her father was reported, she met Holmes
in Boston Holmes said to her; Il sup
pose your father told you what to think
if his death was reported?' TO this Media
made an affirmative reply whereupon
Holmes declared, "Well, that its all
right.
President Fouse secured additional in
formation from Mrs, Pitczel, which tended
to show that Howe was in league with
Holmes. Mr.. Fousc afterwards held long
conversation with Holmes

SAW MURDER IN DREAM.
Why Harry Brooks Was Suspected Of Killing
Henry Young at Erie, NY.

Buffalo, Nov 21.-The arrest Of Harry
Brooks in Erie, Monday, for the murder
of another well-known man about town,
Henry c. Young, bought to light won
derful story of a olpnial revelation in Buf-
falo.
Brooks lived here last August A
slight suspicion had fallen on him at the
time of the murder because he was with
the party that found the body and had
quarreled with Young about Il woman
known as Nellie BLY,. He was not ar
rested, as this circumstantial evidence was
not thought to warrant it.
Detective Brown arrested Brooks early
in August, on the charge of impersonating
"a railroad detective and annoying passen-
gers. When Brooks was taken to head
quarters and asked to give an account of
himself, he said if they wanted any in
formation about him or his people, they
could go to DR.. S. H. Warren of Michigan
street.
Brown went to the doctors house He
had never seen the doctor and knew moth
ing about him When the doctor came to
the door the detective started to introduce
himself
"Wait Il minute, " exclaimed the doctor,
" Don't tell me who you are. You are
Detective Brown of the New York Central
Railroad and you have arrested Harry
Brooks for the Young murder. Come in. >
The wondering detective went into the
house. The doctor called his wife and
bade her tell the detective the story of Il
dream he had the night before.
At about o'clock in the morning the
doctor awoke in cold sweat. He called
to his wife and said he had had a terrible
dream, in which he had seen Harry Brooks
murder a man and leave the body on Il
stairway in Erie. He described it in de
tail, and said he then passed to scene in
which he saw Brooks arrested in Buffalo
by IA detective named Brown, whom he
remembered SO well from his dream that
he recognized him when he saw him on
his doorstep.
The detective was sorely puzzled. He
had read of the Young murder, but he had
never heard of the charge being made
against Brooks. He communicated with
the Erie police and asked them if they
wanted Brooks They replied that they did
not and Brooks was released. He re
turned to Eric, where he remained until
arrested after the discovery of strong evi-
dence against him.
The detectives, who had about aban-
doned all clues, took up the scent against
Brooks when they learned of the doctor 5
dream from the railroad detective.
