TESTIMONY OF MRS. PIrZEL.

She Tells Enough Alone to Send the Arch
Criminal to the Gallews.
In brief Mrs. Pitzel's story was that in
July, 1894, her husband had taken policy
on his life for $4,000 and July 90 of that
year he went to Philadelphia; that she
knew the prisoner and had seen him often
with her husband; that her husband lived
at Philadelphia under the name Of Perry;
he had also gone under the name of Ly-
man. After her husband had been at
Philadelphia awhile she saw in paper
an account Of the death of Perry, but
Holmes told her that her husband was
all right. Her daughter Alice later went
to Philadelphia to identify ''Perry's" body.
She next saw Holmes Sept. "a, 1894,
when he asked her to let her children,
Howard ana Nellie, go with him, saying
that Alice was at Cincinnati and he would
take the other children to her Next she
saw Holmes Oct y and he got her to nav
5000 to him to pay off a note, he said on
some property he and Pitzel owned. She
only got $500 of the insurance on her hus.
band. Then Holmes went to INDIANAPOLIS
to see the children, he said. but she got a
letter from him dated at Detroit in which
he told her to so there and see her hus
band. But she, of course, did not S ,e him,
and Holmes sent her to her parents at
Galva, Ills, later.
Holmes did not explain why her hus-
band was not Mt Detroit, except to say
that he could not find n house, and that
1t would be incOnvenient to see Pitzel.
She wanted to know where her children
were, but he couldn't think of the name of
the woman he left them with! Then he
took her to Toronto and told her that Pit
Eel was at Montreal. He brought her a ci.
pher letter from Nellie, which he had to
read to her, saying that the children were
all well. The poor woman gave a long
account of her journeyincs with Holmes,
never stopping long in the same place.
When she wanted to 60 to indianapolis
to sec the children he told her mot until
you see Ben PitZell. Then he safti he
had taken the children TO Toronto. Then
he lied and lied and lied again and the
wife and mother seemed to believe him.
Her letters given to Holmes were never
mailed and they were produced in court
Holmes said lie lad sent them to Pat
CuiDlan at Chicago, who would get them
to Pitzel.
She had never seen her husband since
July % 1891, nor heard from him by let
ter since Aug. ~ that year. She had never
seen nor heard from her children since
Holmes got possession Of them until she
saw the dead bodies of the two girls at
Toronto and rhe charred bones of Howard
at indianapolis.
The cross-examination did not shake her
testimony, and the next witness and the
last fer the day was her daughter jean
nette. whose testimony corrobora,ed her
mother.

Mn. Pitxel Tells What She Knows Of the
Arch-villain; Of the Disappearance Of
Her Husband and Children, and the Lies
Holmes Told Her About Them-Prisoner
the Only One in Court Unmcved by the
Sad Recital.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3l.-Four long
hours, under the scrutinizing gaze of a court
room crowded with strangers to her, a
pale, worn woman underwent an ordeal
which we'll might have broken the nerve
OF many strong man. She was Mrs.
Carrie Alice Pitzel. With bravery and
fortitude she stood the test, in spite Of the
fact that her physical condition has been
SO shattered by the woes under which shc
has all but succumbed that she was
Obliged to interrupt her pitiful narrative
at frequent intervals to accept spOonfuls
of medicine from the trained nurse who
attended her. In q voice broken with
grief she told the whole distressing story.

the man Holmes in ali trustfullness, lit
tie thinking that when next she should
set eyes on them the two little girls
would be lying side by side on the marble
slab of a morgue, cold in death, and the
boy parcel of mouldering bones. Be-
tween her bitter sobs she related every
detail-from the first meeting with
Holmes, and so affecting was the story
that even District Attorney Graham, long
used to tales Of misery and distress, paused
in the examination to wipe away fur
tive tear. The woman's physical condi-
ton was such that the court crier had to
repeat her testimony after her because of
her weak voice.
Holmes Didn't Bat An Eye.
Throughout it all the shrunken, pallid
figure in the dOck-whO to one unfamiliar
with the shocking story would never be
taken for the arch-criminal of the age-sat
unlnoved. Not a muscle Quivered, not a
lash moved, even when the strain became
SO great that the hearing halted to give
the wretched woman an opportunity to
recover herself. Indeed once or twice, as
some statement from her lips struck a
chord in his breast, a malicious sneer
played around his thin and bloodless lips
But never once did the woman look TO-
wards him.
Prisoner still His Own Chief Counsel.
The other incidents Of the day were the
reading of the statements made by Holmes
to the Boston police when first arrested
there on Nov. II last, telling the story of
the conspiracy to swindle the insurance
company out of the $4,000 on Pitzer S
life. The cross-examination Of tho wit
nesses was conducted actively by Shoe.

it was really Holmes himself who was con-
Quoting the defense. He continued to
take cOpiOus notes and almost momentarily
his attorneys were at the docksidc accept

cORBErr SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS.

Excitement Very High at Hot Springs and
All Sorts Of Rumors Going.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 3l.-James ].

quarters at Hot Springs yesterday after.

belts whercabou<1 - : mystery. There
are reports that ~ = 10 Little Rock
to answer the waFfan4 taken out for his
arrest by the authorities of Pulaski coun-
ty. Another report was that he was
smuggled into the Arlington hotel in Hot
Springs to be in readiness for any chance
to fight. No reliance could be placed in
,he latter story, however, and Manager
Brady's declaration, 1--WE have Corbett
planted and will bc ready to produce him
ut twenty minutes notice prepared to
fight" Is all that could be learned
Excitement ran high in Hot Springs all
day ard innumcrablc stories were afloat,
SO many OF them being told that it was
difficult to pick the truth out of them, the
trouble arising from the simple fact that
there was mighty little truth i'm any. At
the arrival Of every train dense crowds
throngcd the station anxious to see Fitz-
simmons, who was scheduled to arrive on
every train. AT one time he was arrested
in Tcxarkana; at another he had left tho
train and was coming across the country
In carriage; at another he had been ar
rested at Fulton, and the last was that he
and Sheriff HOupt had been taken into
custody at Hope, Ark, about forty miles
below here.
About half the time Houpt had him and
the balance OF 1t he was in the grasp of
Governor Clarkcs minions on the Iron
Mountain road. The latter story, while
generally believed by the outsiders, re-
ceivcd little crcdancc by the friends of
Sheriff Houpt, who declared that the
sheriff would never permit himself to be
taken alive, and further insisted that the
man who undertook such job was u
mighty poor risk for life insurance COM
pany.
Manager Brady smiled sarcastica!ly as
he twirlcd i'm his fingers the telegram tell
ing of Fitzsimmons' capture and with evil
dent relish remarked: II told you So 1t
was u clever scheme on Fitzsimmons'
part. At lca,: ho thought it was clever.
The long and short of the whole story is
that Fitzsiinmons is afraid to fight. If he
had not been the governors people would
never have gotten him
The members Of the Hot Springs Ath-
lctic club are in no way cast down by this
last blow to their chances, and reiterate
their belief that the fight will eventually
be pulled off. Alfred Newhousc, prom
incnt member Of the club, said that the
ring will bc pitched this morning at

preparations will he carried forward with.

nothing to deter him from the perform

The governor adds that in case the sheriff
cannot do this unassisted he will take
pleasure in lending executive assistance
