QUEER PEN4NCE
Done by Servant GirI-Forty Pins I'm
bedded in Her Legs,

Cincinnati, July 22.-Miss Nellie
Thomas, twenty years old, Is employed
as servant at the convent of the House
of Good Shepherd She is an orphan and
has been in the convent for two years.
She complained, yesterday morning, of
being ILL., The sisters did what they
could to relieve her pains, but without
success. She grew worse and it was
thought advisable to call in a physician.
The doctor examined the girl carefully,
but could not diagnose her case.
Just before leaving her bedside, how
ever, he saw her uncovered foot. There
was a big lump on the bottom There
lay the secret of the trouble which Miss
Thomas had tried to conceal. The ply
sician got out his scalpel, lanced the
foot and drew out a. big brass pin. Fur
Their examination and further use of
the surgeons knife discovered forty
more pins imbedded in her legs.
Miss Thomas was made to tell why
they were there She reluctantly told
that every time she had committed a
sin she had broken the head off of a
pin and driven into her flesh as a pen
ance. She is in precarious condition
and her recovery is doubtful. The doc
tors think that there are about a hun
dred more pins imbedded in other parts
Of her flesh.

Hartford, July 22,-John L. Walden,
the defaulting treasurer of the Dime
Savings bank of Willimantio, who left
that city Thursday, is believed to have
sailed from New York for Australia on
Saturday. Assistant Superintendent
Fred D, Hine of the Pinkerton Detect
i've agency is investigating his depart
ure.
| The bank vaults were opened this
morning and the exact shortage found
| to be $26, $780, as follows: Railroad bonds
$1,000. Clark mortgage $500, money
procured to pay depositors $1,000, cash
short for some time $4,000. The mort
gage is one given in part payment of
the land upon which Walden's new
house stands.
Willimantic, July 22.-The doors of
the Dime Savings bank remained closed
| this morning at 10 o'clock, the usual
| hour for opening. For an hour before
| the time of opening depositors whose
| ninety days notices for the withdrawal
| of their deposits had expired waited
| anxiously In front of the bank for the
doors to open.
Shortly after 10 slip of paper was
| tackled on the door with the words
| Bank Closed for Examination" The
depositors stood around for few hours
making anything but pleasant remarks
| about the missing cashier. AT 8 o'clock
| the trustees met in the bank for the
purpose of electing new officials. Bank
| Commissioner Crofut made his state
ment and the trustees held secret ses-
sion until noon, when they took a re-
cess until o'clock. The only business
done this morning was to pass a vote
ordering the bank closed for the pres
emit The books of the bank that are
not missing are so badly mutilated that
an expert will have to go through them
in order to get any definite statement
as to the true condition of the bank.
The police as yet have no clue as to
| Waldens whereabouts. Fred Hine, as
sistant superintendent of the Pinkerton
agency of Boston, arrived in town last
night, and it is supposed that he Is
here in connection with the bank. IT
| Is not known who is surety on Wal
denis bond, as it cannot be found. 1t
is supposed that his brother, Harry
Walden of New York city, and the late
Cashier Risley are on his bond, but as
Risley is dead and, his brother had no
property in this stae the bond is worth
less.

MORE OF HOLMES, CRIME.
His Relations to Mrs. Conner and Her
Disappearance With Her Child.


Chicago, July 22.-To the long list of
murders and other crimes directly trace
able to the archfeld, H. H Holmes,
must now be added, probably, the
mysterious disappearance of Mrs. /. l..
Conner and her twelve-year-old daugh-
ter. Mrs. Conner and her child were
last seen in the company of Holmes in
this city in 1893. Since then all trace of
them has been lost.
Mr.. and Mrs. Conner, with their
twelve-year-old daughter, came from
Davenport, Ia, to Chicago, in 1889
Holmes, at that time, was beginning
to execute the swindles for which he
afterwards became notorious. One OF
his schemes was the drug and jewelry
store in the Englewood flats. Conner,
who was a jeweler, was employed to
conduct the jewelry store, and he moved
with his family into a fiat above it.
When Holmes had perfected his plan OF
robbing his creditors he pretended to
make a sale of stock and store to Con-
ner.
Soon Holmes led Mrs. Conner astray
and then, wishing to get rid of Conner
gave him proofs of his wife's infidelity
Conner abandoned his wife and she re-
manned with Holmes. They had many
violent quarrels and in 1898 the woman
and her child disappeared. The theory
of the people who have been investi.
eating the case Is that she was removed
to prevent the exposure of Holmes
methods, with which she had become
acquainted.

PROBABLY NOT WELL ARMED.
Their plan was to make thorough
scientific exploration of northern Wyo-
ming. When they left here there was
no talk of Indian depredations. and they
carried only the usual field equipment
suitable for a camping party. The stu
dents may have been supplied with
arms, but there was no display when
they were here on July A. On the ma
tional holiday in this section the cele-
bration generally consists of a noisy
exhibition of all kinds of fireworks, and
the fact that the students did not take
any part in the celebration Indicates
that they had not many revolvers

least three rifles in the equipment for
