1 supposed to have married Miss Cigrand | Holmes said he wanted him 60 take care ~of the bcdIes or two children and WAS SO a-N'ou9 about 1t hat he offered to pay 1 nm oZoO for the !ob. Our witness says ! hs refused to mount the bones of any ; chuuren. put he d. es not say anything i u explain what dIsInctiun he saw be-
 tween children's bodies or any others. if
 hIs business was legitimate and he had
 10 hao"ieoge ot foai play. You see,
 it's all very suspicious.r
 ihspec or Fitzpatrick was today put
 mo possession ot facts which weave
 GIoser the web proof around H. H. | i1"i1les; anu hdCS another victim to the
 sIreauy iong list. This information was
 inrIlshed by Attorney George E. Cham
 o7riaih' manager of the Lafayette Mer-
 cantile agency.
 rms murder is shown to have bee
 committed prior to or du.ipg 1891. B. F..
 Pitzel, who later fell victim. was q par tic!pant ID the murder of this man, and,
 Anthony Chamberlain says. was eaually
 guilty with Holmes. The crime YVES com
 mltted Tn Chicago in 1891 or early m
 lS92. Again the victim was traced to
 the Holmes building in Englewood.
 There il was, MT. Chamberlain gives the | impression, that tho crime as commit
 led: The Tolice do not think that this | body has teen found. The skele tons
 that were artIculated were furnished a year or two years later. It is the belief ! that the body was dissected and cremat-
 ed or buried deep in the quicklime in the | bottom of the basement
 The name was kept from the public, the attorneys say, to allow the police to work up further evidence. It is believed that this was the first victim of Holmes. ANDERSON, Ind, July 29-Petsr Ci
 grand, the father of Holmes victim, was seen this morning and shown the morn
 ing papers. He denies very positively
 the story given out by Holmes that Miss Cigrand was a party to the insurance s@indles and that she held S75,O ,OO0 worth | of stock in the company. lie is positive of this for many reasons. He is becom- | Ing worked up ever the matter and is | liable to give some very good pointers on the case before long. He is man of | slow action and very conservative. He | says that Holmes and Phelps gave his | daughter gold watch and two dismoEC | rings. She said that they were both very kind to her. The fact that they | went to Michigan to be married | and that 10 point was given by them, is
 in his mind conclusive proof that Hol
 mes erased every clue. Even though | she was married, 1t would be impossible | to tind her marriage record. From the | description cha gave in her letters and | to her sister wben the latter was in Chi | cago on a ten days visit, he is quite cer-
 tain that Phelps WAS PItZel. She never | spoke of 8 man named El'Zel.
 Although Miss Phoebe Cigrand was
 in Chicago visiting her sister ten days ! less than a month before Phelps was tC marry her, he never showed up. She
 never saw picture of him, and her
 sister but seldom spoke of him. While | she called Ut Holmes office in the castle
 almo-t daily, and stayed some time win | her sist3r ct work there, she never saw | Holmes, who always, 1t seems was in his private apartments, or had just this | moment lodged out. She never got te
 yond the first door, and knew nothing of | what YVES going on the castle. Mss Emma Cigrand, the victim, she says | was very confidential with Holmes, and | dlt-uOtu tO dli nlS WOTk l0 tue OlIlcC. She WAS very close mouthed and had but little to say of what was going on | Miss Phoebe thinks t5at her sister was | getting too familiar with the workings | If the place, and was best out of the way for Holmes good. She is quite ccn- | ident now and has thought for years | that her sister was murdered. She, how | ever. never fastened the crime on Helm
