THE HOLMES CASE.

the Charge of Horse Stealing.

the Charge of Horse Stealing.
Fort Worth, Jan. 3.-(Special)-Presi,
dent j. w. Spencer of the Farmers and
Mechanics bank was seen today in re-
gard to the telegram received this morn
ing through the Associated Press from
! Philadelphia in regard to the service OF
reQuistion papers for Holmes, alias
Pratt. in that city. Mr.. Spencer says it
is not true. as stated in the dispatches,
that the reQuistion was based on a
charge made by the bank against Holmes
for Swindling, but on a charge nf horse
stealing. preferred by other parties. Mr..
Spencer was very positive in his state
ment that the bank had made no charge
of swindling against Holmes and referred
! the reporter to the sheriff's office for fur
Their information.
Deputy Sheriff Ray. when seen. said
that no statement had ever gone out from
the Sheritf'S office 10 the effect that the
bank had made 4 charge against Holmes,
but that his arrest was on charge made
by other parties. He says he does not
apprehend any trouble in getting Pratt
back here and is satisfied that the requisi-
ton papers will be honored.
President FouSe, ii is said, has dismiss
ed the proceedings against Pratt, in which
it was charged that the latter had swind-
led theFidelity Mutual Life Insurance
company out of $40. 600 by the use of the
corpse, which was identified as the dead
body Of Pitzell who was alleged to have
been associated with him in various
schemes. The story has been told that
the dead body was in fact that of Pitzcl,
who is supposed 10 have been actually
killed in the course of the experiments in
preparation for feigning death at time
when he was 10 be representative having
been killed by an explosion. Now it is
added with significant allusion to the dis
rniSSal Of the case at Philadelphia that if
the dead body was indeed that of Pitzell.
there WAS no Swllile 50 far SIS insurance
on his lie was concerned. since his death
was the result OF an accident which was
not fOCeSeSn when the experiments were
undertaken. II this should turn out TO be
the fact the theory tha- Pitrell might
have been murdered would Be disposed Of
and the insurance company might have
10 pay the $4,000 insurance money on
his life. II is believed here that some
kind OF : compromise has been agreed
upon between the insurance company and
Holmes, and il WAS in view Of this deve-
lopment Iha; the reQuisition for mis- re-
turn 70 Texas wGs forwarded.
