Screamed In Freedom.

There is a story told of woman who
became a widow and who was pres
trated with grief for a week. After
that week she packed up her trunks
and went down to an unheard-Of place
by the sea. She afterwards confided
to a very intimate friend that she used
to go out on the rocks and scream.
From grief at your loss?" asked the
friend. NO" confessed the widow,
II thought 1 could not live without
John, but found my personal liberty
was so sweet that 1 screamed in pure
freedom: owned myself" This is an
unorthodox story without precedent,
but will find echoes somewhere Wom-

will claim the right TO try II. II. Holmes
for murdor This claim will be based
upon the horrible developments of yester-
day, which include the finding Of the
charred remains of 9-year-old Howard
Pitezel, and evidence which should con-
vict H. II. Holmes Of having murdered
him and then partially burned his body
In his stove Detectives Geyer Of Phila-
delphia, Richards OF indianapolis and In
spector Gary Of the Fidelity Insurance
company, have been at work for weeks
hunting for traces of the boys body. He
was traced here with Holmes and disap-
peared.
The city was secured and work began in
the suburbs hunting for house rented
by Holmes on Oct. 10, II or 10 Of last year.
Yesterday morning the detectives won't
to Covington, suburb Of tho city, and
the seat Of Butler college, and before they
had been at work an hour their attention
was called by local real estate dealer to
small vacant cottage situated in the
woods at the edge Of town, and far from
any other dwelling. The party went to
the house, and q few minutes later the Of
1oers found beneath the side porch the
missing trunk which was taken from tho
side door Of tho Circle House In this city
on Oct. 10 by Fl. II. Holmes, and which
was thought TO contain the body Of the
boy. In barn connected with the house
was large stove Of cylindrical shape, Of
the same pattern as Holmes bought In
Cincinnati.
Late last evening Dr. ]. F. Barnhill's
attention was called by a small boy
named Waltor Jenny to the stove hole
where the stove had been. It was filled
with refuse. This was pulled out and the
remains Of the boy were found. Physi-
clans and dentists were there, and In this
pile Of refuse hundreds Of pieces of char
red bones were found The teeth showed
that the body was that Of boy between
and 10 years Of age, and all the other
bones confirmed this. All were oharred
and pieces of flesh clung to some Of them.
The skull bones and pelvis added to the
Same convincing truth.
The boy had evidently been burned In
coal fire In the huge stove found in the
barn. Howard's overcoat was found at q
grocery store near by, where Holmes had
left 1t. saying the boy would call for It.
He never came. Owners Of the house
recognized Holmes from the pictures
shown them. All identify him as the
man who, last October, rented the house
with the same story he told in Toronto

stayed two days, and then disappeared.
Several people have identified him. and
