 CHICAGO, July e0.-Another appalling crime will be laid at the door of II. H. Holmes, the notorious insurance swindler and the alleged murderer of the Pitzels.
 That Minnie Williams of Fort Worth. Tex, met her death at tho hands Of Holmes there is scarcely doubt. That she died in this city in violent manner has been proved almost conclusively.
 Late last night the police found in a stove in tho three story brick building at 70l Sixty third street, which was built by Holmes, and in which both he and the Williams girl lived, n quantity of charred bones, buttons known to have been on a dress owned by Minnie Williams and a partly melted portion of watch chain, which was positively identified as having been the property of the girl.
 CHIcAGo, July 23.-H. H. Holmes will be charged with the crime of murder in the city of Chicago today. A warrant for his arrest on that charge will be sworn out by A. Minier, nephew of Julia l.. Connor of Muscatine, la
 Holmes will be charged in tho warrant with having murdered Mrs. Connor some time between the 1st of August and the 1st of November, 1899. The warrant will be placed in the hands of Inspector Fitz- patrick by MT. Minier, and while it can not be served at the present time 1t will be acted upon the instant that Holmes Is freed from the charges pending against him in Philadelphia
 Mrs. B. F. Pitzel is back in Chicago aft CT her trip to Toronto for the identiflca- tion of the bodies of her children. She is now ready to tell all that she knows re- insurance swindler. He made important statements regarding the swindles and the measures to carry them out, but she says that she was kept in ignorance that any of them entailed murder.
 Bones and articles of clothing were turned up in the basement of Holmes house Monday. Some of them were from the butcher shop, but others of the bones resembled those of human foot.
 In chest holding secret belongings of Holmes the police found a vest, identified as one long worn by Holmes upon which were dark stains resembling blood. In a box were found linen shirt and other articles of underwear.
 The shirt had the initials "G. B. D." worked in rcd letters The box was found under the floor and was covered over with a layer of firebrick. In the cellar. near where the bones were found, woman's shoe was turned mp, with evidence of fire on the bottom of the sole. As the earth where these articles were found was not removed in laying tho foundation of the house, no reason for their burial can be assigned by the police except to hide murder. Close by is the bottom of the shaft, which made connec tion between the top of the house and ths basement, while just over the spot is tho blind stairway, which leads into the third floor by trapdoor placed under a station ary bathtub. . A meeting of the detectives engaged ir the examination of the house was held last night, and they announced that ir their opinion the house had been con structed for the purpose of deliberat, slaughter. More care than ever will now | be exercised in searching the premises.
