OF the Williams heirs. tie believes thf-
the deeds 10 the property were fofBea'
he tells the following story:
'The two Williams eiris were leit prop
crfy by their uncle Br. Williams. " me
both We're in possession OF IL, MINNIE
was the real owner Both the girls were
well educated well-bchaved, and rirtuous'
SO far as is known. II is scarcely possi-
hle they could have been corrupted by
Holmes IN so short "a time, as mas beeh
"Nfnuie after she became grown start
eI 90 organize "a theatrical company, ana
sunk N.WO IN the project. She shoftiy
after that came TO Chicago, anl met
Holmes.
an June 1893. she wrote 10 her sister
20 come and visit her. that she was very
wealthy, and was going 90 marry Harry
Gordon. ana take trip 10 Europe.
After her sister came, Annie wrote
letter 10 forward her trunks. which
were sent on in june, but were never
called FOR. The trunks were finally re-
turned 90 her aunt IN Mississippi
THE deed to the property was pufp0rt-

shortly afte- his Holmes and Petzel
appeared In Fort Worth under the aliases
OF Lyman and Pratt They came 10
sell part Of the property which they got
Sl,aD Tor; and the rest OF it they bult
a house, which is almost exactly like the
one in Chicago. evidently made for sell
ing purposes only.
"Qninian was with them IN Texas
Holmes and Pietzel got in debt 10 near
ly everybody ia town, and then left
the city.
u do not think there is the slightest
question that Holmes killed the Williams
girls. Ills story OF one killing the other
with "a chair ls too absurd TO De believed
for aH Instant
Several other Witnesses were examined
