WILLIMANTIo. Conn, July Sex Bank
Commissioner Buck furnishes statement
Of the banks assets and liabilities at the
time of his last examination on June 10,
the totals of which balance and show the
bank to have been solvent at that time.
Mr.. Buck estimates Walden's defalcation
at only about $500.
According to Commissioners Crofuts
statement, the bank is insolvent only to
the extent of $S3SU. This may be easily
Offset by paper charged of at first, but
now found to be collectable.
Attorney K. B. Sumner reported the re-
suit Of his journey to Allentown, Pa, to
the directors last night. Arrangements
have been made with Sutton q Baine OF
that city whereby over 5000 can be
realized on the machinery purchased by
Walden with $4440 of the banks money,
and sold to them at great advance.
The great question awaiting answer Is;
Why is Walden absentp Twenty-Five
thousand dollars Of worthless notes, given
the Dime bank by the w. G. a. A. Is.
Morrison company, now insolvent, have
been found in the bank. Walden may
have advanced this money, and, fearing
the disclosure of his mistake, fled.

Concerning Mrs. C0nn0r.

DAVENPORT, Ia, July 26.-Tears came
to Mrs. Smythe's eyes when she read q
dispatch from Chicago last night stating
a body had been found in the Holmes
building which was supposed to be that
of her grandchild, Pearl Connor. "The
poor child" she sobbed. Then, picking
up an evening paper, she exclaimed, as
If she saw a gleam of hope in the printed
lines, "Oh, 1t was only the bones they
found, and how could they tell whether
they found my grandchild or notf"
Mrs. Smythe has succeeded in finding
the letters of II. H. Holmes to herself,
written when he had slain or was plotting
to kill Mrs Julia L. Connor and her
daughter Pearl. In the first letter, dated
Oct 13, 1892, Holmes invents a lawsuit In
which his interests are involved, and
wants Mrs. COnnor as witness, who, he
said, would prove valuable to him. His
connection with the law in Chicago was
mostly with regard to judgments for
small amounts, and yet he writes to Mrs.
Smythe of case in which $1,000 depended
upon her daughters testimony. Possibly
while disposing of his victims body he
wrote to Mrs. Smythe.
Holmes had never seen Mr. or Mrs
Smythe, yet he writes to the latter, and
opens his letter with an inquiry. He asks
simple question: "Will you kindly COM
municate with Mrs. Connor, and say to
her, for me, that it is absolutely necessary
for us to hear from her with regard to the
suit in which she is interested as wit
ness?'
This was the first intimation Mrs.
Smythe had that her daughter had disap-
peared, and the first line she ever received
from Holmes

HOLMES BIG FURNACE
Nay Have Been Used to Cremate the
Bodies of His Victims.
Strong Belief That He Killed
f, Julia C0nnor.
Nra smths Tells Of an discriminating Letter
From Holmes.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The searchers In the
Holmes castle yesterday found q shoulder
bone which the detectives believe is part Of
an adults body, and a socket bone, sup
posed to be part of the remains of a child
A portion OF the dress was also found
The remains of furnace that was pos
sibly used by Holmes as crematory was
unearthed in the cellar. Near 1t was o
large heap Of ashes, which are being sifted.
The man who built the furnace says
that Holmes maintained great secrecy con-
cerning its construction, and said It was
to be used in his gas manufacturing ex-
periments. AS no attempt was ever made
to make gas, this story was clearly fabri-
cation.
A. L. Jones, who purchased drug store
here from Holmes, is positive that Holmes
is guilty of numbering the Williams sis
sters, and insists that he ended the life OF
Kate Durky, a young woman who was for
a time his slave
The girl had her life insured. Mr.. Jones
said: Holmes was digging in that eel
lar day and night, and / now think he
was burying the bodies Of those he had
slaughtered"
Mrs. Quinlan, wife of one of the former
janitors of the Holmes building, yesterday
stated that young lady named Cigrand,
who lived with Holmes just before the
Williams girl, and who came to Chicago
from Indiana, had mysteriously disap-
peared.
More proof was found that Julia L. Con-
nor was made away with by II. II. Holmes.
1t was determined that she disappeared
before June 8, 1892 an important
factor in the search for her. AS
late as November, 1892 Holmes, as shown
by the letters which have been found, was
writing her parents as to her whereabouts,
and stating that she had gone to st.
Louis. But on June 5, 1892, he wrote to
her brother-in-law, Ira Yantis, Of 800
Wardrobe avenue, Waukesha, Wis, giving
him fictitious address as to her where
abouts in st. Louis. Yantis wrote back
to Holmes on June 9, and this letter was
found yesterday.
