The search of the Holmes building was
prosecuted today on the Information
given to the police by NJ. S. Chappell, the
machinst, who says he articulated the
skeletons OF three Of the supposed victims
of Holmes. Chappell told the police that
Holmes had two vats in the cellar. One.
he said, was in the southwest corner and
the other in the southeast corner of the
rear cellar. They had been since walled
up, he said. One OF the 1ats, according
to Chappell's statement, was used as a
vessel in which the flesh was eaten from
the bones by the use OF acids. The other
was for the purpose OF bleaching the
bones.
Twelve laborers worked allsday digging
out the two corners designated by Chap

work on the southeast corner struck his
spade against something which gave
forth metallic sound. The metal object
proved to ne large tank in the shape of
"a boiler. 1t was located just outside the
south cellar wall and its top was four feet
from the ground surface. Work tonight
was stopped before the tank was fully un-
covered, but apparently 1t is eight feet
long and three feet in diameter. Except
for the discovery of the tank the search
IN the basement was fruitless. Above
stairs the search was almost as barren OF
results as that made in the cellar.
Although the police authorities believe
that their diggngs and searchings at the
Holmes building in Englewood have been
rewarded by n large amount of evidence
of crimes committed by Holmes. many
here believe that since his arrest many
things have been taken away from the
place. This belief receives large meas.

he wanted some moving done. Foley was
ordered to take wagon to the Holmes
building. When the wagon arrived Quin-
Ian glanced around continually to see if
any one was looking. When he thought
no one was watching he would bring
something out of the doorway. When
the wagon was loaded it contained long
chest, some old clothing and five or six
large bundles of old lead pipe. He could
not examine the things on the wagon,
because Quinlan did not seem to want
him to look at them, and managed to
keep his attention from them. He was
Arrived there, Quinlan shipped the things
to some point in Michigan, going with
them himself.
