 Philadelphia, Nov. M.-President Fouse Of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insur- ancs company to-day received a dis patch from the Chicago representative of the association that B.. F. Pitzel. the reported victim of the insurance con- spiracy, had been seen within the past two weeks in Meyers saloon on Sixty ninth street, Chicago. In company with a man named Ryan. President Fouse inclines to the belisf in view of this in formation that Pitzel Is alive.
 President FoBe this afternoon said: 'T think murder was done, but be- lieve that the victim was @ man other than PitzeL Our representative further . says that MT. Ryan, with whom Pitzei was seen, is a Chicago business man who knows Pdtzel well, having had bus mess relations Our Chicago man sub- sequently saw Ryan, but the latter de- clared his inability to locate Pitzel. The Pinkerton agency and our representa- tive are now at work upon clue, and should not be surprised If Pitzel was found in g. few days"
 Lawyer Howe Is expected to arrive this evening from St. Louis with Attor- ney Mcdonald to answer to the charge of conspiracy. President, Fouse states that he expects to recover portion, at least, of the $10000 fraudulently se- cured from the association.
 we have procured an attachment tn St. Louis against Howe" he added, "to recover $2,20O of the money he re- ceived."
 As Holmes maintains that the three missing Pitzel children are with their father, the discovery of the supposed victim will probably clear up the mys- tery regarding the offspring.
 President Fouse had an interview this afternoon with Mrs. Pitzel. The lat ter's sixteen-year-old daughter, Meda, was present in the cell, and the talk had not proceeded far when the girl declared that she believed her father to be alive. The daughter then told of a conversation she had with her father in Chicago inAugust last, during which P1tzel said: My daughter, if at any time you should hear that I am dead, or that anything very serious had hap pened to me do not believe it. I will 1n <<atfo %%ov- II, { l.
 The girl had barely finished making this statement when her mother sprang to her feet, and thnowing her arms about wildly exclafmed:.
 "Such Hest Such falsehoods have nave never met with as in this affair, and even you, my own child, have de- ceived me heartlessly and mercileesly"
 AS the mother finished she cast a lcok of scorn on her daughters cringing figure. 7 e.-, <s.
 The girl further said that after the death of her father was reported she met Holmes in Boston. Holmes said to her:
 T suppose your father told you what to think If his death was reported?"
 To this Meda made an affirmative an- swer, whereupon Holmes declared:
 Well, that's all right"
 President Fouse's interview with Holmes was mainly directed toward discovering the extent to which Howe, the St. Louis attorney, Is implicated in the conspiracy to swindle the insur- ance company. According to Holmes, Howe was cognizant of the plot almost from its inception. Holmes says that Hedgpeth, the St. Louis train robber, now in jail, told him that Howe was a good. nsrvy man, who could be trusted. Holmes outlined the plot to Howe. Howe was unwilling to appear as the principal in 1t. He advised that, if 1t was successful some friend of the family identified The corpse first Howe's advice was followed. Of the $10000 received from the insurance company, Howe retained $2,50O for coun- sel fees and $400 for expenses.
 Holmes says Pitzel is either in South America or in the extreme southern part of the country and could not have possibly been in Chicago within the past two weeks Holmes asserts that the doctor from whom he claims to have secured. the body was recently engaged in a swtndlihg insurance scheme and has suppositiously died. Holmes takes his arrest coolly, and eats well. Mrs. Pitzel is seriously ill from nervousness.
 The detectives seem to be all at sea. Every energy Is being bent toward un- earthing Holmes medical friend.
