lUINLANS CONFESS
THEY KNEW OF MANY OF THE
GRIMES OF HOLMES

Murder Of Mrs. Conner and Her Daueh.
ter Practically Admitted-said They
Have Signed a Confession on tho Prom
ise of Immunity From Punishment for
Their Share in the Crime.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The police have
at last obtained a partial confession
from Pat Quinlan, the janitor Of
Holmes Castle, and have, they believe,
positive evidence that Benjamin F.
Pitzel was murdered in this city by
Holmes and the corpse sent to Phila-
delphia.
The confession was wormed out of
the Quinlans by means of tip given
the local officers by Detective Geyer of
Philadelphia, who arrived in this city
during the day. The exact nature Of
the story told by the Quinlans the po-
lice will not reveal, and, in fact, Chief
Badenoch and Inspector Fitzpatrick
have both denied that Quinlan or his
wife made any confession at all. Not
withstanding the denial of the police,
however, it is positively known that
Quinlan
Made and Signed a Confession.
Later it was learned that the confess.
sion covered all the details Of the muir.
der of Pitzel, with the exception of the
actual place in which the crime was
committed. The confession was OBJ.
tanned from the Quinlans only after
the hardest kind of work, and at the
price of promise of immunity from
punishment for all part the Quinlans
may have borne in the murder of Pit
eel or other crimes committed by
Holmes.
Mrs. Pat Quinlan knew of the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Julia L. Conner in
Holmes Castle and saw the body of
the woman after she was dead. She
further knew and has admitted that
Pearl Conner
Disappeared in the Castle
after her return from the Quinlan
farm at Lake Michigan. Chief Babe.
noch took Mrs. Quinlan and her hus-
band to the Castle, with Inspector
Fitzpatrick and Detectives Fitzpatrick
and Morton. The object of this trip
was more for the purpose of letting
Quinlan and his wife meet than any
other. They were closeted together
alone for an hour in the room in which
the Julia Conner carpet lies and the
chair belonging to the murdered
woman stands. What took place be-
tween them no one knows, but Chief
Badenoch and the detectives are nearer
the solution of the Holmes mystery
than they ever were before. They
now have positive proof that Mrs.
Conner and her daughter Julia, or
Cora Quinlan, were murdered in the
building while the mother was in his
employ. Further, Quinlan and his
wife
Have Proved to the Police
that Mrs. Conner was so well aware of
the schemes which Holmes was operat-
ing that it became necessary for
Holmes to put the woman out Of the
way.
Pat Quinlan and his wife have adj
mitted partially that business in re-
ceiving and disposing of dead bodies
stolen from country graveyards was
carried on in the Castle under the di-
rection of Holmes. The graveyards Of
the western portion ofMichigan-Grand
Haven, Holland, St. Joseph and other
places - were despoiled Of bodies.
These were brought to the Castle and
chemically treated and then disposed Of
to medical colleges. The collins were
remade by Holmes, Quinlan and Piet-
eel and disposed Of to undertakers at a
fair nr0fit

Bondsmen of Taylor Begin to Wonder II
They Are Duped.
Sioux CITY, a., Aug. 5.-Reports
from South Dakota are that the sureties
of w. w. Taylor, the defaulting state
treasurer, are considerably worried by
their principals delay in turning over
his property to them to secure them
against loss on his bond. Ample time
has been given him, it is claimed, but
still the expected transfer does not
take place. The bondsmen are threat
ened with executions on the judgments
against them and are naturally anxious
for the contamination of the deal be.
tween themselves and the ex- treasurer.
The latter seems the least concerned OF
any of the interested parties.

VENTILATION FOR EVERYBODY.
