Chicago, Aug. 6.-Humau blood has been
found in Holmes castle, bespattered from
one room to another. Science, aided by
Detectives Fitzpatrick and Norton, where
other agencies had failed, has uncovered
more startling evidence against II. H.
Holmes aud Pat Quinlan than has been
found Ill the castle.
There was found in the castle by the
detectives aud a medical expert, trail
OF blood leading from the--dining room Of
Mrs. Julia L. Connor to the sink in the
same room; from there into the dark cham
Der where She and Pearl formerly slept,
and from there to the inside of the door
opening into the ba tn room, where the trap
door was; on the dashboard OF that room,
above the trap door. and down on to the
secret staircase which led to the false
elevator shaft, aud thence into the base
meut.
The blood was human. A clot of blood
mixed with human hair was found
BLOODY GARMENTS FOUND
Also from the debris in the dark cham
Der, where mother ard child slept, there
was taken some child's unec-oear stained
with blood: a pair or brown diagonal
trousers stained at the bottom with blood;
the pocket OF a woma-.'s dress, blood
soaked handkerchief, which had been
used to wipe up blood with, and various
cloths and parts OF underclothiDg soaked
with blood.
These articles were examined micro
scopically at the time OF their discovery
and the test made then and there showed
the stains and blotches to be human blood.
With but one or two exceptions, the ex-
perts say, they were all marked with hu-
man blood.
A rope was found in the dark chamber
and iii its knots blood was discovered.
In Pat Quinlan's private living rooms
were found two trunks of the theatrical
type. One was purchased from Meeks, in
Denver On both trunks were the initials.
m r. W" Ts>sse initials had been painted.
over The initials are those OF Minnie
Williams.
Pat Quinlau stated after his being taken
into custody that both the trunks belonged
to him. Detectives Norton and Fitzpatrick
have now the truth that both trunks be
longed TO Minnie Williams.
MINNIE WILLIAMS BOOKS.
Quinlau was confronted with this new
evidence He will also be faced with books
found in his possession, and which be.
loneed to Minnie Williams. There are
Lippincott magazines bearing date as late
as April, 1894, demonstrating that Min
nfe Williams was ailve at that time.
The fact that one OF her trunks was
u-ht i'll Denver is explained 10y the in
formation, already secured by Chief Bade-
noch, that after She entered the employ OF
Holrnes, and finally left Chicago, she en-
tered the theatrical business in Denver.
Chief Badenoch has also secured, in addi
tion TO the above evidence, which his de
tectives brought TO him to night, positive
proof that Benjamin F. Pietzel was at
Dwight as a patient.
TIE inference drawn by the officers from
the trail OF blood which was discovered
was that the blood, being human, came
from some person who was killed in the
darl- chamber. dragged from there to the
trap door, thence down the secret stair
way TO the basement beneath.
