A Reputable Chicago Citizen Believes He
Has Murdered Three Women.
: CHICAGO, Nov 22.-Following close to
the mysterious disappearance of the Will
Jams sisters vt the hands Of Holmes, the
life insurance swindler, comes third
woman victim-Miss Kate Durkee. Kate
Durkee had property; the documents
representing the property camo into the
hands of ii. II. Holmes, by theft; the
woman mysteriously disappeared, and
Holmes showed title to the property. A
year ago twenty-five creditors of H. H.
Holmes met at the office of George b.
Chamberlain and made desperate effort
to find out who and where Miss Durkee
was. 1t was supposed at that time that
she was an accomplish of Holmes, and
that the property illegally obtained was
being transferred into her name, and the
creditors wished to reach it. Suddenly
Kate Durkee dropped quietly and entirely
from sight and, like the Williams sisters,
has left no trace behind her.
IT believe she was murdered" said Mr..
Chamberlin in speaking Of the matter to-
day. ~ believe also that both of the Will
Jams sister were murdered, and make
this statement on the strength, not of pub
lished reports, but what l know person
ally of the matter"
