Murdered the Williams Sisters and
Another Girl Who Was His Slave-A Re-

Philadelphia, July 25.-Owing to the
verdict of the Toronto jury charging
Holmes with the murder Of the two
Pietzel children, the chances are now
almost beyond doubt that Holmes will
be taken to Canada to stand trial for
the murders. 1t has been the intention
of District Attorney Graham to have
Holmes tried in any city where the evil
dence would warrant the most speedy
conviction on the charge Of murder. 1t
is stated that it will require at least two
months to effect the extradition of the
accused.
Attorney Shoemaker, who represents
Holmes, to-day declared his client was
not afraid to face any charge the Cana
dian authorities had to make.
'"The district attorney" said he,
''should proceed slowly in this matter,
or the result win be that he will not
have Holmes on even the charge of
conspiracy, to which he pleaded guilty
and is now awaiting sentence. The
process of extradition is just as difficult
from the Canadian juridiction as it IS
from that of the United States. AS 1t
is if the Toronto authorities fail to con-
vict, which I am certain they will, there
may be fight before the man is re-
turned"
Toronto, July 25-Crown Attorneys
Curry and Dewart had consultation
to-day as to what should be done in
view of the findings of the coroner S
inquest last evening, and as a result of
their talk Detective Cuddy this after
noon swore out warrants charging 6
Holmes with the murder of the two
Pietzel girls. The warrants were plac-
ed in the hands of Detective Inspector
Setark, who at once took the necessary
proceedings to have Holmes extradited.
Chicago, July PA. ]. Jones, who
purchased a drug store here from
Holmes, is positive that Holmes is gull
ty Of numbering the Williams sisters,
and insists that he also ended the life
Of Kate Durky, a young woman who
was for a time his slave The girl had
her life insured. Mr.. Jones to-day said:
"Holmes was digging in that cellar
day and night, and ! now think he was
bl1rying the bodies of those he had
slaughtered,
Mrs. Quinlan, wife of one of the for
rner janitors Of the Holmes building,
to-day stated that a young lady naraed
Cagrand, who lived with Holmes just be-
fore the Williams girls, and who came
to Chicago from Indiana, had myste-
riously disappeared The searchers in
the Holmes castle to-day found a
shoulder bone which the detectives be-
lieye is part of an adults body; and
q socket born supposed to be part
of the remains of a child. A portion
of a dress was also found. The re-
mains Of a furnace that was possibly
used by Holmes as a crematory, was
unearthed in the cellar this morning.
The man who built the furnace says
that Holmes maintained great secrecy
concerning its construction and said
it was to be used in his gas manufac-
turing experiments. AS no attempt
was ever made to make gas this story
was clearly a fabrication. The fur
mace had an air tight receptacle in
which could be generated a heat of 2,400
degrees F. and was not long enough
to contain a body.
To the police to-day Mrs. w. L. Doyle,
a friend of Mrs. Quinlin, said that
an aunt of hers owned the house in
Toronto where the two Pietzel children
were found dead. Her aunt rented the
house to Holmes.
