FOR IMMORAL PURPOSES
\ Des Moimes Girl Is Directed to Daven-
port Under Deceptive Pretense.

A sensational case of deception,
together with an attempt to ruin the
life of young and innocent girl, has
just come to light in Davenport and
is creating quite stir among the re-
spectacle people there. The victim
is Des Moines young lady. who,
through the agency of a Des Moincs
policeman. it is said, learned that
she could obtain very lucra-
tive position in Davenport. pro-
viding she would go to that
city. An address was also given
her where she was to apply for the
position, and the innocent, unsus.
pecting girl at once babe her friends
in Des Moines good bye and came to
Davenport.
In q DisreputabIe House.
Upon arriving there she at once
hunted up the address given her and
was terrified to find herself at the
bawdy house conducted by Madam
Comfort. The girl Immediately pro-
ceeded to make her escape. and found
the way to the police station, where
she told her pitiful story to Police
Matron Hill. She remained in the
station until morning, when Mrs. j.
H. Doxsee learned of the case and
took the girl under her care.
In the meantime, Des Moines rela-
tives were notified of the circum-
stances and the young lady returned
home, much worried over the cruel
deception which she had been sub
jected to. But as to the Des Moines
policeman who was in commuuica-
ton with a Davenport dive-keeper,
plainly for the purpose of supplying
her roost with fresh victims-will

In a race as one-sided as it was
disappointing at Freeport yesterday,
the superb John 4. Gentry, 2:O3f.
driven by the pride of Freeport, NJ.
Z. McHenry. administered q most
crushing defeat to that magnificent
looking black fellow, Joe Patchen,
2:o4. driven by Jack Curry. Gen.
try won with ridiculous ease in
three straight heats, in the first of
which the only sure-enouyh racing
was done, and a new record hung up.
1t was a hollow victory for Scott's
horse as we'll as a starlingly signifi-
cant one, as it proved conclusively
to the experts who watched the con-
test that Gentry will undou btcdly be
the harness horse of the year. Two
unlucky accidents to Patchen we're
great factors in the result The
match was disappointing for the
reason that it was expected by
horsemen in general that Patchen
would at least force his rival
to some grand performance if moth
ing more. The three heats were
paced in 2:04i. 2:06} and 2:O9s, an av-
erage Of triflc slower than 2:O7. and
in the first Gentry went the first half
mile in 0:59l, 1859 gait, which is
undoubtedly the fastest first half
ever paced in a race. The quarter
was negotiated in O:3O and the three
quarters in 1:30. 200 clip. 1t was
the frightful pace maintained in such
heart-breaking fashion that killed all
chance Patchen might have had. The
latter cracked a quarter mile from
home in the first heat. leaving the
other to finish alone and almost in
jog. The succeeding heats we're
gifts to Gentry, Patchen falling back
beaten at the half in the second, and
going to break almost as soon as
the word was given in the third.
Additional disappointment is fur
nished from the fact that Patchen
cast shoes in the first and second
heats.

JULIA cONNOR's FATE.
Tw0Letters Found That Show Holmes {
Have Written Her.

TwoLetters Found That Show Holmes tc
Have Written Her.
The case of Julia Connors is arous.
ing more interest daily in Chicago
and the three cities since the latest
developments in the villainies OF
Holmes have been unearthed. 1t is
becoming more and more apparent
that the poor girl shared the same
fate as the Williams and Pitzel sis
tiers and others who have gone before
her. The Democrat saws: mot
since the murder of George l.. Daven-
port on the government island more
than two decades ago, has such in
terest been awakened among Daven-
port people in a case that appeals so
strongly to human sympathy as this
one does. Yesterday at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Smythe. one of the sis
ters of Julia Conner accidently found
two letters that Holmes had written,
having addressed one to her while
she was visiting her folks here.
The first letter is an appeal to Julia
to come to Chicago at once. Holmes
claims to have an important lawsuit
in which Julia's testimony will be of
paramount importance. 1t will, he
claims, pay her to come as it will be
q good thing for her-will pay her
well-and he will stand the expense
whatever it may be. 1t appears
from the letter that Julia is badly
needed as a witness, as the decision
of the case will largely depend upon
her testimony. The letter was writ
ten with a type-writing machine
even TO Holmes signature. 1t is
plain from the reading of the letter
that Holmes desired to have Julia
Connor believe that in this particu-
lar case her coming to Chicago was
an urgent necessity. If Holmes had
the hypnotic influence he is said to
have possessed, there is no reason to
doubt at all that while Julia Connor
was in his employ he used that
power to make her his subject. The
second letter is reply to Mr..
Smythe's letter, which in the past
few days has been printed in all the
papers of the country. He expresses
his surprise that Mr.. Smythe does
not know where his daughter is, and
states that the last he heard of her
was in st. Louis. The second letter
is typewriter also.
In the smythe Residence.
I'm the Smythe residence on Lo.
Gust street, on the north side of the
sitting room, hangs a large crayon
portrait of Pearl (not Gertrude as
some of the Chicago papers have it,,
the little 7-year-old child that, ac-
cording to the latest telegraphic dis
patches, must have shared the fate
Of her mother. The horrible discov-
cries that have been made in the
Holmes castle in Englewood lead one
to believe that he was one OF the
deepest-dved villains of the century.
Ii Julia Connors was murdered, her
child. without question was, too.
Her parents and other. relatives do
not. and cannot believe, that she
ever had any affection for Holmes,
more than a friend. or that she ever
was untrue to her husband, as he
himself sometimes claimed. That
Holmes may have had hypnotic in
fiuence over her might have been
possible. The woman had left her
husband to support herself and child
by running a boarding house in
Englewood. and at that time she still
regarded Holmes as friend, but no
more"

Juergen Chris tiansen.s Body.

The unknown floater removed from
the river near Muscatine last week
has been positively identified as that
of Juergen Christensen, of Daven-
port. Friends of the deceased are
inclined to believe he suicided, as he
had become melancholy from ILL
health. and probably shuffied off his
mortal coil to end his sufferings. A
peculiar circumstance, however, is
that the clothes have never been
found. although diligent search
along the river has been made. The
remains were brought from Musca-
tine and buried at Davenport this
afternoon

Quarrel on the levee
JOHNSON ATTACKS FUHLENDoRF

ter Having an Umbrella Broken Owe,
HIS nead-Both Liquidase for Theis
Actions-Brothar PauIson does ON the
Stone Pile.
A Davenport damsel was the cause
of 8 midnight quarrel on the levee
last night. when William johnson, q
lower-end resident, and e. w. Fuhl-
endorf sought to dis6gure one an
other physically. The mill was
stopped. however, before either was
very seriously damaged, although
johnson was minus . whole um-
brella, which he divided over Fuhl-
endorf's Uranium. The unpleasant
ness was the outgrowth of Fuhlen-
DORIS apparent stand-in with gay
lassie from over the creek, whom
johnson claims as his individual
property. This lady and a COM
panion came over to Rock ISL
and last night. and while stroll
ling round the town caught the
glimmers Of Fuhlendorf and Moline
gentleman friend. The two Lotharios
planned spiel and "won 'em
out" After the quartet had enjoyed
themselves a considerable time
johnson discovered that some one
was trespassing on his territory, and
he Swallowed the party down to the
river bank. where the females had a
skiff in which to cross the river,
with blood in his eye. He ap-
preached Fuhlendorf and explained
in q rather commandant tone of
voice the circumstances and re-
minded the girl Of her unfaithfulness.
An exchange of q few affectionate
epithets. and johnson landed hand
full of knuckles on Fuhlendorf's
physiognomy, quickly followed
by crack over the head with an
umbrella. which fell in a couple of
pieces on either side of the assaulted
mans frame. Then they clinched
and when down on the embankment,
where johnson was progressing
nicely in the demolition of Fuhlen-
DORIS features when Officer Bender
appeared on the scene and called a
foul. Both men we're arrested. The
Molineite escaped to the other side
with. the females when the encounter
began.
The belligerents liquidated this
morning, johnson paying Magistrate

dorf Is.

Mrs. Madeline Paulson, of Twenty

of contributing to the support Of his
mother. appropriated articles about
the house and pawned them to Sc
cure finance with which to purchase
liquor. When intoxicated he would
threaten her. She had him arrested
sometime ago, but he was released
on promise to act differently. His
incarceration was requested by the
mother, who desires him kept away
from her forever. Probably after 30
