wet, but He Denies IL.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 31.-Governor
Clarke has not yet esId directly from the
Illinois authorities as to the pardoning of
convict Allen, who is said to possess valu-
able information in connection with the
criminal career of II. II. Holmes, and to
be willing to tell his story il immunity
from punishment is promised him. At
first the Governor seemed inclined to think
Aliens story was an old ruse for securing
liberty, but to-day he said "If / am con-
vinced that Allen can convict man of
murder who is guilty, and would other

When reminded that he claimed to know
Holmes and that Hatch was prominent
in them and asked to tell who Hatch was,
he became somewhat confused and said
that he thought that Holmes had working

scar or mark on his right cheek. While
uncertain. as to his name, he clearly re-
membered that Holmes raised the man 5
wages from sl.25 TO $3.25 per day. and re-

Startling Revelations by an Expert
minafion of Holiness Tank

Examination of Holiness Tank
CHICAGO, July 31.-Experiments were
made to-day with the liquid found in the
bottom of the vat in the cellar of Holiness
house, and ii was found that whenever
mixed with benzine or kerosene ii would
emit vapor so deadly that no human be-
ing could live in il. Whether or not Holmes
used the vapor for suffocating his victims
Is not known, but the police are inclined TO
favor such a theory.
The police discovered to-day the means
by which the mark of a womans foot be-
came printed on the inside of the vault
door. While examining the oil under the
microscope the expert got some of the oil
on his hand and later placed two of his
fingers on an iron plate in the laboratory.
short time afterwards he noticed that
the marks Of his, fingers were distinctly
visible on the iron and all efforts to rub
ii off were futile. A test for acid in
the oil was then made. but without result
as no trace could be found. A finer test on
this point is TO be applied. This discovery
will away a good deal of snrmise on
the part of the police, as the theory ad-
vanced by the expert is that Holmes got a
small quantity of this oil in a bowl, added
either petroleum, benzne, gasoline or even
common kerosene to 1t and placed IT in the
vault. A deadly gas would be given off i'm
mediately, and all Holmes had 10 do was TO
lure his victim into the trap and then shut
the door. Death would soon result. The ex-
planaton of the foot print on the iron of
the door is that one of the alleged victims
in her struggles upset the bowl of oil and
placed her foot in the liquid. which had run
oyer the floor, and then in her struggles
placed her foot against the door, leaving
the tell-tale mark
In addition to the other tests an effort
will be made tomorrow TO see IL the vapor
given OF by the liquids will burn, in ORDER
10 see II the oil was part Of Holiness gas
making machine. This was not done to-
day, as il was feared that the vapor might
be highly explosive, and precautions 10 pre-
vent catastrophe were taken.
The police were to-day informed that at

away than the stock yards district, where
ne opened restaurant under the name of
H. FL. Howard. He employed a number of
young women as mattresses and is said to
nave had new force nearly every day.
Among them were two girls who came
from Wisconsin. y few nights after they
began working the neighborhood was
startled by female screams coming from
the Howard restaurant. Several men ran
two girls as they ran out of the hallway
leading into the house. They were clad
only in their night clothes, and it was some
minutes before they could be quieted suf-
ficiently to tell their story. They said they
had been sleeping together and had been
awakened by man who gained an en-
trance TO their room, and who had placed
wet cloth over their faces. They thought
the cloths had been saturated with chloro-
form. Neighbors took the two girls in and
an opportunity of arresting Howard. he
disappeared.

Him with Bigamy.

GREAT PLACE FOR JONES.
Making Brandy Ont of the Big Peach
and Apple Crop I'm Missouri.

WEST PLAINS, Mo-, July 31.-Thousands
of bushels of peaches and apples will be
lost in this vicinity this season for want for
means to take care of them, so great is
the crop. Through the enterprise of the
railroad companies and some of the leading
growers great quantities of the fruit will
be saved however. Greatly reduced freight
rates have been made and much of the fruit
VIII be sent North. while some growers
will manufacture their product into brandy,
rather than to sell at sacrifice. Already
carload of peaches has been sent TO ST. Paul.
There are 157 600 barrels OF apples and
peaches of a very fine quality In sight.

Very succinctly F. H. Adams, a
former editor of The Courier, put it
when he wrote:
If correspondents when they write
a long article will chop it in two in
the middle or a little nearer the
tail end, and send us the latter half,
they will oblige US. No subject
worth talking about needs long in
PRODUCTION. and nine writer's out Of
ten have the whole gist of their argu-
ment in the last half OF it.
In other words, "condense," as
Horace Greeley said. 1t does no,
take column to express an idea.
and the nearer to the first word you
make your point, Or conclude your
item OF news, the nearer you are

.hensive writer.
