I went for her found her sick in bed.
I told her some one would have 10 go with
me to identify the body and she said the
little girl could do that. / objected to
this at the time, but finally agreed to the
proposition. l brought the little girl on
here and the body was Identified 10 the
company's satisfaction and to mine. The
company paid the money TO me, and l re-
turned TO st. Louis and got a receipt
in full from my client, Mrs. Pitzel, for the
amount Of money, and l have her receipt
for my fee The latter was $500 That
was the last l saw of her. / went to her
house once afterward and learned that
she had left"
Mr. Howe was asked what he had to
say about his connection with Holmes in
the matter.
Il do not desire to say anything about
that at this time he replied. nor about
several ether matters with which my
name has been connected"
After an interview in Superintendent
Linden's Office, between the superintend-
ent, Mr.. Mcdonald, Howe and Presi-
dent FOuse, Howe was taken up to the
district attorneys Office, where he re-
NAMED until nearly o'clock, when he
was taken into court Howe's counsel
made an argument in favor of admitting
the prisoner to bail, asking that the figure
be made as low as possible. Judge Breezy
thought $500 a reasonable sum and
placed the bail at that figure and the
prisoner was released.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-It was
definitely ascertained today that the body
buried for that of B. +. Perry, or PitZel,
which was found in a house on CallOw
Hill-st. early in September, will be ex-
humed and another effort made to identify
1t. DR.. Mattern, one of the coroner's
physicians. visited Superintendent of
Police Linden today and was closeted for
a short time with the superintendent and
the president of the insurance company.
The outcome of the consultation is that
the body will be disinterred for the pur-
pose of having Mrs. Pitzel endeavOr to
identify it. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs Pitzel was too I'll to come on from
st. Louis at the time of the first attempt
az Identification. 1t is said that the teeth
of the corpse had several striking peculiar
tiles which Mrs. Pitzel should readily
recognize If she was ever familiar with
her husbands teeth. Several of them are
missing and some overlap each other. DR..
Mat,ern is of the opinion that Mrs. Pitzel
ought to be able 10 identify the body by
the teeth.
Holmes and Mrs. PitzeI were removed
from the Central station today TO prison.
Holmes tonight retracted many Of the
statements made, or said to have been
made to a detective when coming to this
city from Boston. He declared that both
the Williams girls were alive and that
Anna was recently paid 81 1000 by Ptzel
in New York City. The story Of her muir
der and numerous other crimes with
which his name was linked he character
lied as rot" invented TO throw the de-
tectives off the track.
There was 2 new development today.
when 1t was learned that the detectives
are looking for an eXpresSman who had
been often seen with Pitzel. and who dis
appeared about the time the body was
found. The theory is that either he had
something TO do with hauling the body or
that he himself was murdered. Holiness
lawyers stated today that they will show
by documents on record that at the time
Of the alleged Identification Of Pitzel that
shadOwy individual was personally con-
