ing OF Reports and Discussion Over the
Water Received From the New Well.
The quarterly meeting of the Trustees
of the Poor was held at the county
almshouse yesterday morning, the entire
board being in attendance.

wrong with the water. 1t simply con
tains deposit of clay and in his opin-
ion will eventually clear up.

never drove well that did not clear

G. Caldwell and Mascot" who fig
ured in different times and places in
the Holmes affairs, are one and the
same man.
Holmes not long ago asserted that
the man Hatch took the Pietzel child
rem to Toronto, in company with Min
ME Williams, and that if he could be
found he could clear up the mystery OF
the city. The detectives who are work
ing up the case in the West, have evil
dence that Hatch came West after the
visit to Toronto and was caught steal
ing horses in Arkansas.
The man confined in the Little Rock
penitentiary claims to be able to give
the history Of Holmes deeds from first
to last, but insists that he be pardoned
out first.
Within 10 days, unless the present
plans miscarry through some technical
ity or official disturbance, Allen will
arrive in Chicago in custody of Attor-
ney Capp and the proper officers of the
law. Attorney Capp in an interview
late last night after his consultation
with the chief of police said:
tThere is no question in my minC
that this man Allen can tell about the
murder of the Williams girls, Mrs. Con
nor and her daughter Pearl by Holmes
