Who the 1ascot Is

FORT WORTH, July 3l.-William
Capps. who is now in Chicai on the
Holmes case, belongs to the firm of Capps
IL Cuneo of this city, who some time ago
instituted suit against the present hold
ers of property owned by the Williams
sisters. The suit is brought at the IN
stance of the heirs of the girls, and it is
claimed the deeds were forgeu by Holmes.
Allen, the Arkansas convict who is so
anxious to tell his connection with the
murders, was at one time in the employ
of Holmes in this city. Allen went by
the name of Mascot in this city. and it
is believed he can tell great deal about
Holmes and his transactions if he wants
to- Allen was an eX-convict from the
prison at Joliet While Holmes, or Pratt,
as he was known here, was living In this
city he started to put up large building.
1t was objected to on the ground that it
was fire trap. and he was forced to re-
model it, In view of the recent develop
ments in Chicago the authorities have
made an investigation of the buildings,
which leaves no room for doubt that he
had planned it for death trap. One
room at the top of the house has twelve
exits by which person can escape. An
inclosed chute runs down to the basement
of the building. in which body could
be transferred without anybody Deing
the wiser. In the basement a large arch
way had been built over the sewer in such
a way that he could easily put a trap
door opening into the sewer. Under the
floor of the house was found a large pit,
the intended use of which ca: only be
con jectured. Holmes probably intended
this building TO be used as he a terwards
used his house IN Chicago.

More Ro mancing

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-H. II.
Holmes was seen in his cell by reporter
today and talked freely about the charges
made against him, and especially those
relating TO Miss Cigrand. He admitted
he betrayed the girl in Chicago. and she
afterwards ;old this fact to a priest who
insisted that IL marriage ceremony be
performed. Holmes says he took her TO
an obscure place in Minnesota and mar
rled her under an assumed name, the
ceremony being fraudulent. Pat Quinan.
he declared knew OF Holmes relations
with the glrl. having found her in his
room roo co one hlght when n there was irf near
cont nued. Miss Clgrand left his employ
and went to convent. where she now is.
Quinlan. he asserted knows ali about her
and can prouuce her at any time. Holmes
added that IN justice to Quinlan and
Mascot he desired to say that they knew
little about his movements.

What Allen Has to Say

n LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 31.-Con-
Wet A lien persists in his assertion that
Minnie Williams was alive six months
ago, and is of the belief that she is alive
now. He did not meet Holmes in Arkan-
sas, and his connection with him was
confined to Fort Worth. Texas. He never
wrote any letters to Holmes. Allen de-
claes that the detectives from Chicago
will get nothing cor their trouble unless
they are able to secure his release from
the penitentiary.
Allen undoubtedly knows all about
Holmes operations in Texas, but that be
knows the whereabouts of Minnie Will
liams or that he had anything to do with
her disappearance is considered e1-
tremely doubtful here.
When asked if he would parol Convict
Allen and under conditions pardon MIN.
Governor Clark said the conditions would
have to be presented and taken up in
legal form before he could return an
answer. The chief executive of Arkansas
would undoubtedly do anything reason
able to assist in clearing up the mystery
surrounding Holmes, but he would have
to be convinced that Aliens story was
not made for the purpose OF securing
pardon before he would grant even a
parole.
When seen today by an Ass sociated d
Press reporter Allen said: my real name
is Caldwell but have passed under the
aliases of Allen and Fogg and was known
at Fort Worth as Mascot

l can show that Minnie Williams was not
murdered. l heard from her a few months
ago, and she is afraid to come to this
country
When reminded that in turning states
evidence Quinlan might put him in
a very bad place and convict Holmes, he
said with some excitement: ''Quinlan
shall never be allowed to have Holmes
hanged, for of the awo Holmes is more of
o gentleman, and as for me he does not
know anything. If he did | would have
left the country
Allen seemed much attached to Holmes
and says that he will not testify against
him in criminal suit because Holmes
always treated him well. He denies he
ever used the alias of Hatch.

HOW ABOUT THETAX?
Many Citizens Calling on the
City Comptroller.
LOOKING INTO oELtNQUENCIEs.
Property Owners All Do Not Know OF
Charges Against Their Land
How Mistakes Have Arisen.

Comptroller VIII H. Parry is sending out
notices 10 taxpayers in regard TO old de-
llnquent taxes. The first notices were is
sued Saturday. and yesterday more than
10 people Went TO the c~omptroller's Of
ice 10 investigate the matter. Most OF
these delinquent taxes nave been running
Tor years, and in many instances the own
ers OF the property involved do not know
that there are unpaid taxes standing
against IL. In some cases there have been
double assessments, while in others errors
IN the books have caused the trouble.
These delinquent taxes are all for years
prior TO 1891. Under the old system the
assessment was against the Individual.
and not against the property. but now IL
is against the property. Under the old
plan some property escaped taxation al
together. and some was assessed two or
three times. The notices are not sent out
as duns. but to warn people OF the condi-
tons. so that they can either pay up or
correct any error that may exist. This
precaution viii protect the property own
ers title. and Incidentally will bring In
revenue TO the city.
AT the tax sale which was held in Au-
gust. 1892, the property for which there
we're no bidders was bought in by the city.
The three years allowed for redemption
was up last August. The man whose prop
erty was bought in by the city at this sale

the city could not apply for tax deeds for

ers, so that the original owner viii have
to redeem his property as If IL had been
sold 10 an individual in the first instance,
If he wants TO save IL.
Many of the delinquent taxes standing
against property in the city are unpaid
because the property is owned by noh-res-
idents, who, when paying their taxes
write TO the county auditor for a tax
statement. Under the old system when
the county and city taxes were collected
separately, the county auditor would ten
them the county tax only, but the own
ers would think that they were paying the
entire tax. This difficulty is obviated now,
because both city and county taxes are
collected by the county officials
