PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2--H. II. Holmes
again unburdencd himself to a newspaper
man yesterday He intlmntos that he was
nearly In the act Of killing Benjamin Pite.
eel on several occasions, but denies that
ho did kill him. He declares that Pat
Qulnlan has nothing to confess, and says
he has positive evidence that his wife is
loyal to him. He says Minnie Williams
was his best friend. He claims that lie is
q rich man, with 5000, 900 to his credit He
declares that he can prove that he left the
Pitozel children In safe hands, and that
Benjamin PiteZel took his own life. He
does not believe that the man HATCH In
whose care he left the Pitezel children, Is
In jail in Arkansas, or In any other prison.
Holmes says be was married three times,
but explains In u jocular way that only
one of the marriages was legal. He says
that the lady calling herself Mrs. Howard,
and who is now In Philadelphia, still loves
him, but that she is not his legal wife be-
cause he had wife living when he mar
ried her under the name Of Howard.
Holmes ridicules the idea that he can be
convicted OF murder.
GREENsBURe, Ind, Aug. e-Faots have
developed here which make the supposi-
tioD very strong that Harry Walker, who
mysteriously disappeared about two years
ago. became another victim Of H. H.
Holmes. Walker, who was about 90 years
old, was a jeweler. He became acquainted
with Holmes, who offered him II position
at 81 600 q year. which he accepted, and
went to Chicago. Soon afterward he dis
appeared. 1t is now known that his life
was insured for $3.50 in Holmes favor.

Cigrand has returned from Chicago, and

lieve Holmes statement that Emiline
Cigrand was married to him and then
went into q convent in Minnesota. All
