lis will claim the right to try H. II.
Holmes for murder. Tho olaim will be
based on the horrible developments of
today, which include the finding of
charred remains of 9-year-old Howard
Pitzel and evidence which before jury

him and then partially burned his body
in stove.

last year.
This morning the detectives went to
Irvington. pretty suburb OF this city
and the seat OF Butler college, and before
they had been at woIK an hour their at
tention was called by local real estate
dealer to a small vacant cottags situated
in the woods at the edge of town and far
removed from any other buildings. The
party went to the house and few min-
utes later the officers found beneath the

searching for additional evidence. De-
velopments followed thick and fast and
the chain of evidence is damaging.
In "a barn connected with the house was
a large stove of cylindrical shape. of the
same pattern as Holmes bought in On
cinnati. He rented tho house under the
from the house to the stable by the
owner of the house after Holmes left.
1t was then concluded that the body
had been burned in the stove and search
began for the remains.
Later this evening DIR. ]. F. Barnhill's 8
named Walter Jenny to the store hole
where the stove had been. It was filled
with refuse. THIS was pulled out and
the remains of the body were found.
Physicians and dentists were there, and
in this refuse hundreds OF pieces of
charred bones were found. The teeth
showed that the body was that of hoy
between and 10 years, ann all the other
bones confirmed this. All were charred
and pieces of flesh clung to some Of
them. The skull bones and peivis added
the same convincing truth. The boy had
evidently been burned in cob fire in the
huge stove found in the barn.
Howard's Uvercoat was found at
grocery store near by, where Holmes had
left it. He never came. Owners of the
house recognize Holmes from the
pictures, and several neighbors distinct

have identified him and all doubt is re-
moved. Other developments are expected
tomorrow and with this evidence Indian
apolis will demand Holmes Tor trial.
