has brought out the crank" and 1t Is
to this genius that the stranger who
visited the office of Holmes attorney
yesterday belongs Lawyer Shoemaker
visited Holmes at the county prison
this morning, and to his client related
what the stranger had told him yester-
day about being able to prove an alibi
for Holmes and told him his name.
Holmes denied any knowledge OF the
man. and when the stranger appeared
at Mr.. Shoemaker's Office again this
morning he was put through course
Of sharp questioning that developed the
fact that his name was Francois Wins
choff, and that he was spiritiualistic
crank, who lives in this city.
Mr. Shoemaker did not take long to
Impress upon his visitor that his psy-
Geological alibi was not needed and the
man left.
that goes a little way toward bolstering
up Holmes shattered reputation for be-
ing unable to tell the truth. His mys-
ter!ous friend, Hatch" Is reality and
not myth Reliable informal ation of
the mans identity has been established.
His name is Edward Hatch and he
worked for Holmes In Forth Worth.
Tex, and is now supposed to be In Chi
cago. Although the mans Identity has
been established, nothing has been
learned that in any way shows that he
was ir, Toronto at the time Holmes
says he gave the children into his
charge there.
Holmes is preparing a statement Of
his side Of the case. which will be given
to the public in few days.

new arrived suddenly and unexpectedly
In Washington today from Falmou'h'
his summer home. and summoheo
council of the cabinet officers IN town,
which lasted for two hours. He reached
here about noon and went almost I'M
medtately to the war department, where
ne had an hours talk with secretary

his office and the two walked over 10
IN, state department.. where Secretary
Carlisle and Attorney General Harmon
who had been summoned by telephone'
io,ned them soon after. For two hours
Secretaries Carlisle and HERBERT ana
Attorney General Harmon were clos
eted with Mr. Olney In his private once
MANY rumors were set aHoat by Mr.
Olney's unexpected arrival, ana II IS
said that the meeting was caused by
serious crisis in this country's relations
with Spain. All the cabinet officers
who were not at the meeting refuse to
say anything of the subject under dis
cuss.on. but from the manner in which
one Of them spoke il would appear that
the reason for the conference Is a Sc
rious one. While the reason for con-
ference can be mere SPECULATION. 1t Is
probable that the condition of Cuban
affairs brought Mr.. Olney to Washing
ton.
Complaints OF Spanish Mini tcr.
Frequent complaints Of the Spanish
minister that filibustering expeditions
are being constantly fitted out In this
country has caused the Washington
government much embarrassment. and
it Is not improbable that 1t has been
decided by the president to take action
that will prevent claims by Spain
against the United States for violation
of the neutrality laws, and that the
cabinet conference this afternoon was
for the purpose of devising ways and
means of protecting this government in
that regard.
There was one rumor afloat in con-
nection with Mr. Olney's visit here that
was promptly denied by all Of the cab
met officers. This was that Mr.. Cleve-
land Is i'll at Gray Gables. Mr.. Olney
will return to Falmouth tomorrow
morning.
