 CHICAGO, July 26.-More proof has been that she was made away with by H. H. Holmes. It was determined that she dis appeared before June 9, 1S92-an impor- tant factor in the search for her. As late as November, 1899, Holmes, as shown by the letters which have been found, was writ ing her parents as to her whereabouts and stating that she had gone to St. Louis:
 But on June 5, 1S92; he wrote to her brother in law, Ira Yantis of 32O War dobe avenue Waukesha, Wis, giving him a fictitious address as to her whereabouts in St. Louis. Yantis wrote back to Holmes on June 9, and this letter was found Wednesday.
 At that time Yantis had no suspicion that Holmes had made away with his sis ter-in-law and supposed him to be her friend. This letter was written three weeks before the one in which I. L. Con. nor accused Holmes of breaking faith with him. The latter letter refers to his dauglS. ter Pearl From this it would appear that Mrs. Connor was killed first and the child afterward.
 l. l.. Connor, the husband of Julia l.. Connor and the father of Pearl Connor, both of whom are thought to have been murdered by Holmes, was in Chicago yes terday, and The Inter Ocean today prints a long interview with him. He has no | and child, but says he believes such to be the case. He does not know when the crime was committed, but thinks it was done in this city. Connors story contains practically nothing but what has been published.
 Mrs. Pitzel Feared Holmes.
 Mrs. Pitzei talked more freely of Holmes than at any time since she returned from Toronto. She is firmly convinced that it was Holmes intention to murder her.
 II can see it all now,' she said. 1T can sec why Holmes murdered Minnie Will Hams and Mrs. Connor; why he has done away with all my family except myself and my two children. The miserable wretch only wanted to cover up his infa- nous tracks. may be thankful am sit ting here today and that my two children and myself are not in our graves.
 Do you think you had a narrow escape from death at his hands at the house in Burlington?"
 "Yes. I am confident that he intended me to meet the same fate then as my hus- band and my babies met"
 ''Did you know much of your husband s affairs?''
 'No. He told me little of them. I knew hardly anything of the building that Holmes built When we came to Chicago, we lived the first year and most of the sec- ond happy life. My husband was car, penter and had plenty of work to do. had been at my old home while my hus- band was away.
 II had been in i'll health. The coming to Chicago did me good. My husband drank very little before he met Holmes. After that noticed he seemed to drink a great deal.'
 The most important discovery made at the Central station was the disclosure of the identity of the expressman who is supposed to have done the trucking for Holmes. He lived in the neighborhood, and pending his examination by the de. tectives the department refuses to reveal his name. It is claimed this man was ac. customed to visit the flat late at night or very carly in the morning. This was at a time when Holmes troubles were the greatest, and he was dividing time be. tween causing women to disappear and lodging all manner of creditors.
 The Quinlans Closely Questioned.
 The Chicago detectives who are working on the Holmes case realize that their only chance of convicting him of the murder of Mrs. ConnOr is to obtain some collateral evidence in the shape of testimony which may be wrung from some of the persons who were associated with him at the time tho crime was committed.
 To this end they are making every en. dcavOr in their power to induce these per. sons to tell all they know, and feel reason. ably certain that if they succeed in doing this they can forge a chain strong enough to hang their quarry.
 Mrs. Quinlan, the wife of Patrick Quin. Ian, the janitor at the Holmes castle in 1893, was admitted to Inspector McLaugh lin's private office and examined for sev eral hours. The belief is gaining ground that Quinlan knows moro of Holmes Chi cago affairs than any other person, and the hope is entertained that he may have communicated part of his knowledge tc his wife, and that under the terrible or deal of the 'sweatbox' she might be com pelled to tell what has probably been di vulged to her.
 The theory was advanced that Holme! had added another victim to his list in tho person of 11-year- old Cora Quinlan, daugh ter of the janitor, but this is not thought to be tenable. Mrs. W. l.. Doyle of A; Sixty third street accompanied Mrs. Quin Ian. Mrs. Doyle says that she saw tht Quinlan child three weeks ago at SoutI Haven, Mich, and that she is still there After Mrs. Quinlan has been examined her husband will be returned to tht sweatbox.''
 Hewill be asked many of the same questions put to him before, and from tht way he contradicted himself then the DO lice have no doubt he will repeat the proc | ess, and, on being caught in wholesal' evasions hope that he will tell the whol, truth and make clean confession of tn, knowledge of the affair which he is be lieved to possess.
 The diggers at the castle at Sixty-thir( and Wallace streets continued their worl with renewed vigor. Holmes admission that he buried two bodies in the basement which he says were those of 6 woman an' child taken from medical college to foo the insurance agents, leads them to be lieve that they will shortly disinter tn | other body. The work in the cellar much facilitated by the electric light which have been put in, and every clod O dirt is being crumbled and critically ex | amined
