DENIAL THAT HE HAS PISSED
THE LAST LINK IS FOUND IN TORONTO

2 Philadelphia. July 17.-This morning District Attorney Graham said there was little chance of Holmes being taken to Toronto to be tried for the murder of the Pietzel girls. He has found evidence, he said, which leads to the conclusion that the body found in the Callow Hill street house, in this city, was Pietzels, and he is now preparing to try Holmes here on the charge of murdering Peit- gel Detective Grear, who unearthed the body of the Pietzel girls in Toronto, is in almost hourly communication with the district attorney. Late this after noon District Attorney Graham received a dispatch dated Toronto. which cald: "I am going to Detroit>to look for How ard pietzel."
 Holmes is believed 10 have murdered Howard in that city, and Grear is going there to endeavor to discover the body.
 When brought before the district at torney yesterday Holmes. after his long confinement in prison, looked wcaried, but still maintained his unequalled nerve. He is sad to have remarked: Well l guess l will have to swing for this.' but he quickly recovered himself and spun several more fairy tales to NIT. Graham, all of which were set down as faisehoods. It was said that Holmes made a full con fession. but this Lawyer Barlow denies.
 Nothing new was elicited at the con ference" said Mir Barlow, and while the statements of Holmes added nothing materially new to the case. we secured from him certain data that will aid us in continuing our investigation of the strange affair.""

CANCER EAT INTO HIS BRAIN
And Stirred the Memory of An Old Crime
 Strange Story

h strange OtOfy.
 Ocala, Fla, July 17.--Some time ago a man giving his name as Pat Baxley came here to be treated for cancer by Dr. Brown, the specialist. Baxley said he was from Georgia. The cancer grew worse, eating into the left eye. Last night it had reached the brain and Bax- ley alarmed the guests at the hotel by shrieking that he had committed murder in Georgia and that the officers were af- ter him to hang him. He also said his real name was Dr. Wilkerson, and again that 1t was Robert Jones.
 The frenzied man then ran out into the darkness and disappeared He was heard from today ten miles away, but when he saw men approaching he fled into the woods. Dr. Brown says the can cer has reached the brain and the man will die 500. He thinks the cancer work ing on the brain has stirred the memory of an old crime Bax1ey was very reti- cent about his Georgia home, giving no postoffice address.

THAT DECENTRALIZATION SUIT.
Answer of the Philadelphia Bank to the
 Express Company.

Philadelphia, July 17-The answers of the Fourth Street National bank, Sydney Tyler president and Richard H. Rushton cashier to the equity suit brought against that bank by the Adams Express company for alleged undervaluation of money packages, were filed today in the United States circuit court. They com prise, first statement from the bank and it's officers jointly bearing upon the bill of complaint, and also a separate joint statment in answer to the interfog- atories annexed to the bill. The bank de- nies the statement in the bill that the company has prescribed and established a uniform tariff, based primarily upon the value of the thing carried, and sec ondly, upon the distance over which the same is to be transported and the charac- ter of the company'S office at the place of the destination. The company, 1t is claimed, never has required shippers to give the true value of package until after the present question was raised, but daily has and still does receiVCpack- ages in large numbers without any state- ment Of their value, and that any value placed upon a package is placed there by the shipper for his own protection It is denied also that the express company ever pretended to rely upon the valua- tions made by the banks of a statement of the actual contents of the package. Denial is made of alleged fraudulent con- cealment or false statement and in con- clusion the bank asked that the suit be dismissed, with reasonable costs and charges in this behalf most wrongfully sustained.

The Last Link .

Toronto, Ont, July 17.-Although 1t is known that almost all the clothing of the riot started can not be ascertained until articles of attire belonging to them was stuffed into the chimney and into holes around he house at No. 16 St. Vincent street. Some of that clothing has been traced, and the last link in the chain against Holmes has been practically forged by that discovery. On examining the bodies the undertaken discovered that the feet of Nellie, the younger of the girls were missing. It was first sup posed that they had been struck by the shovel in digging and cut off in the cellar, but search in the cellar fails to reveal them, and it is now thought they were amputated by Holmes.
 The attorney-general has taken all the preliminary steps for the extradition of Holmes.
 All the papers are practically ready. and should the coroner's jury return a verdict of willful murder extradition will pe applied for at once.
