HOLMES AT FORT WORTH.
Tried to Build a CharneI House, but the
Authorities Prevented.

Authorities Prevented.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. William
Cappa, who is now in Chicago on the
Holmes case, belongs to the firm Of Cappa
g. Canley, of this city, who some time ago
entered suit against the present holders of
property owned by the Williams sisters.
The suit is brought at the instance of the
heirs of the girls, and it is claimed chat
the deeds were forged by Holmes. Allen,
alias Hatch, the Arkansas convict, who is
30 anxious to tell his connection with the
murders, was at one time in the employ Of
Holmes in this city. Allen went by the
name of Mascot In this city, and it is be-
Iieyed here that he can tell a great deal
about Holmes and his transactions If he
wants to-. Allen was an ex-convict from
the prison at Joliet.
While Holmes, orPratt, as he was known
here, was living in this city he started to
put up q large building. 1t was objected
TO on the ground that it was a fire trap
and the authorities forced him to remodel
1t somewhat. In view of the recent devel-
Opments in Chicago the authorities have
made an investigation of the building,
which leaves no room for doubt that
Holmes had planned it for a death trap.
One room at the top of the house has
twelve exits by which a person can escape,
while an enclosed chute run down to the
basement, in which a body could be trans
ferred without any n being the wiser.
In this basement a large archway had
been built over the sewer in sue a way
that he could easily put in a trap door
opening into the sewer. Under the floor
of the house was found a large pit, the in
tended use of which can only be oonjec-
tured. Holmes probably intended this
building to be used as he afterwards used
his house in Chicago.

A hickman dropped me at the depot

the waiting room all to myself. Then a

quietly in. We saluted each other, spoke

BRIBERY FAILS.
Taylor Brothers Make a Futile
Attempt to Escape.
Offered Night Waterman Money
to Help Them Out.
HE AGREED TO 1T.
And Then Gave the Scheme
Away to Sheriff.

CoRRoLLToN, Mo-, Sept. IL. Soon
after the jury in the second trial of
the Taylor brothers rendered YER
dict of guilty of murder and Judge
Rucker sentenced them to be
hanged October 4 the two manifested
a friendliness for Night Waterman
Brown of the county jail and as soon
as they felt sure that he was their
friend they offered him a liberal sum
of money to assist them in 'tbrea King"
out of jail.
Brown listened to the proposition
and then gave it in detail to Sheriff
Stanley, who instructed him to en-
courage the Taylors and hear all their
plans
Brown met the Taylor brothers the
next night and assured them that
he could and would fix it so
that they could escape, but that
as it would throw suspicion upon
him and the condemned murderers to
be seen conversing together, it
would be advisa bic to conduct
further negotiations in writing.
They accepted the advice and as
the letters were received by Brown
they were submitted by him to Sheriff
Stanley who, of course. knew what
replies were sent to the Taylors. Ex-
GEa guards Will HOW DC pun III VIC jail
After copying the letters, Brown
carried the originals back to the
Taylors to be destroyed, according to
their arrangement.
In opening up the correspe ndence
the Taylors agreed TO give Night
Watchrnan Brown $500 in cash. Then
they asked Brown how he would like
to become a partner in a scheme to
coun terfeit gold and silver coin. Will
lam P. Taylor, in the next letter, states
that prior to the arrest of himself and
brother for murder, he cleared 5000
out of that business, and suggested
that he and his brother George and
the watchman be partners in the
scheme after they should escape from
jail.
All their plans were acquieseed in by
the Waterman under the sheriff s
direction. The Waterman was to pro-
vide a way for them to pick the locks.
ami after they had gone he, to avert
suspicion, was to fire several shots to
raise an alarm and shoot one bullet
through his clothes to make it appear
they had shot him.
