VICTIMS SWEARS OFT WAR
RANTS.
POLICE NOT DISHEARTENED.

CASTLE WILL BE RESUMED
TODAY.

OF Horrors Into Il lu-
scum.

CHICAGO, Aug. Al. L. Conner,
husband OF Mrs. Julia Conner. who is
supposed TO have been one of Holmes
victims at the Englewood castle"
has decided to take out warrants
for the arrest OF Holmes and Ouin-
Ian, and the legal documents will
be APPLIED for tomorrow morning
Conner claims that he has discov-
cred considerable that the police
know nothing about, and that he is
convinced that Holmes murdered his
wife and little girl, and that Quin-
Ian was an accessory. He bases his
opinion OF Quinlan's guilt on the fact
that considerable OF the furniture
that the Quinlans have been using
was the former property of Mrs
Conner. Conner says he will insist
that the warrants be served at once,
so that there may be no possibaity
of Quinlan getting away. He will
also ask the police to have Cora
Quinlan. who is now with relatives
in Michigan. brought back TO the
city to be used as a witness. The
Quinlan girl was the constant play
mate OF Pearl Conner, and the faith
er thinks she may know something
about the manner in which his
daughter disappeared.
Chief Of Police Badenoch will re-
turn TO the city tomorrow, at which
time the search for evidence against
Holmes will again be taken up.
Nothing was done by the police to-
day except to go through some of the
letters which had formed the CORE
spondence between Holmes and
Pietzel, and which were found in a
storage warehouse. A systematic
search for evidence in these letters
will be made tomorrow. An expo
lice officer claims TO have leased the
