INSURANCE SVINDLERS.
The Case Against Holmes Becomes
More Puzzling.
NO PROOFS OF MURDER AS YET.


1hd Brisoners NiiiinBhehs 10 DO Aassh y"
Philadelphia Seems to Verify the State
ment That lie Substituted Another Body
for That OF PltzcIl.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ao.-The Holmes
Pitzell conspiracy plot thickened yestcr-
day by the arrest of Lawyer jefferson ID.
Howe In St. Louis and the arrest Of Mrs.
Pitzell in Burlington, VT. Howe WINS tho
counsellor who came on here with powers
of attorney from Mrs, Pitzell to collect
the 10000 insurance money, and he car
ried a letter of Endorsement with him from
the Chicago agent of the Fidelity Mutual
Life association, which completely dis
armed any suspicious that might have ex-
listed in the minds Of the Philadelphia Of
ficisls. The money was paid, and Howe
left town, and his arrest Is regarded Ms be-
ing probably the most important incident
In the present business.
President Fouse Of the Fidelity Life In
surance company, went before the quar-
ter sessions grand jury and related the cir
cuinstances that led to the arrest of III. FL.
Holmes in Boston. An hour later tcle-
gram was received from st. Louis that
Howe was In custody, and that the arrest
had been made by the chief of police in
person.
Very meager details have been received
In Philadelphia regarding the arrest of
Mrs. Pitzell In Boston, but First Vice
President Mcknight says 1t was the log
seal outcome of Holmes arrest and con-
fession.
II have not yet been informed" said Mr..
Mcknight, "of the nature Of Mrs. Pitzell's
confession. My information is simply to
the effect that she has been arrested and
has confessed Whether this will throw
any light upon the murder theory or
whether IL will simply be substantiation
OF Holmes story l am not In a position to
say, but suspect it will be the latter"
Vice President Mcknight does not insist
that Pitzell was murdered, and President
Fouse's appearance before the grand jury
did not so charge, but they and other of
fetal of the company think that the prose-
cution and developments of the conspiracy
case will develop that blood was spilled and
that Pltzell was the victim.
The question that remains unsettled ia
whether the body found ut 1915 Callowhill
street was or was not Pit2ell's. While the
insurance company people are inclined to
believe that 1t was, there Is no proof to
that effect. The police officials are of the
sarne mind as the company's. 1t Is, how
ever, agreed by others that If Holmes was
guilty party to murder he would hardly
elect to come to Philadelphia in preference
10 going to Texas, where he ID under in
dietment for horse stealing
Holmes willingness to come here would
seem to indicate that he Is in O position to
establish his innocence of any capital
crime in Pennsylvania and that he prefers
o term Of imprisonment for conspiracy
rather than more serious punishment for
any other offense committed elsewhere,
