the effect that he was h1red by
Holmes one afternoon, and told not
to come to the house until after
nightfall. When the expressman
kept his appointment he was given
a box and a trunk by Holmes and
told to take them to the union depot.
When he was putting the box into
the wagon he turned it on end, and
was at once stopped by Holmes, who
told him that he was on no account
to keep the box in any other posi-
ton except fiat on the side. The or
ders were to take the trunk and box
to the depot and leave them on
the platform, and he was told that
they would be taken care of. He
saw only one man at the depot who
seemed to be interested in the trunk
and the box. After Humphrey had
told his story to the police tonight,
Pat Quinlan was brought up from
his cell and the two were placed
face to face. The police will not
tell why this was done, but the
general opinion is that it was done
because Humphrey recognized Quin-
Ian as the man at the depot. The
eXpressman will be retained in GUS
tody as a witness.
HIS THIRD TRIP.
In January 1893, the articulator was
sent for a third time by Holmes, and in
the same room and on the same table
he found the body Of a second young
woman, from whose face all the skin
had been removed. The articulator
had this body taken to his home, where
he stopped the bones and mounted the
SHELTON. When he called on Holmes
for his pay the latter refused to give it
to him, and was, moreover, somewhat
in arrears on the bill for mounting the
two previous skeletons. The two men
could not come to terms and the dis
pute finally ended by the articulator
retaining possession of the third Skel-
ton, and he still has 1T it in his house.
He removed the skull tonight and
brought it to the central police station
where it now is. The articulator will
be kept under close surveillance for
some days yet, as the police do not
think that he has told them all he
knows about the murder in the "caS-
tie" He said at first that Holmes
called at his house under the name of
Gordon, and later said that he be-
came acquainted with Holmes through
answering an advertisement for a man
capable in the work of articulating
skeletons, and found that the ADVERTISE
ment had been inserted by Holmes.
Afterwards he let drop some express
slons that showed that he had done
some work for Holmes prior to the time
that he claimed his acquaintance with
him began. This discrepancy in his
story decided the police to keep a close
watch Oil him. The police declare that
they have almost positive proof that
the first female body was that of
Emeline Cigrand and the second that of
Annie Williams. 1t is the skull of
Annie Williams that is now at the
central police station.
BURIED IN QUICKLIME.
In prosecuting the investigation of
the basement of the big brick house on
SiXty-thfrd street today the workmen
employed by the police came upon two
graves. The indications are that in
the graves were laid the bodies of Min
ME and Annie Williams Lime and
quicklime had accomplished their work
and the bodies had turned to native
dust, but there still remained sufficient
evidence to make the indentification
possible. Two soft spots in a bed of
hard clay were the size of human bod
les, and where the heads would have
been were mats of long hair. One big
strand was of light color, like that of
Annie, while the other was of the
brown hue of Minnie's hair.
The juXtaposition of the mats of
hair would indicate that the bodies
had been laid side by side, the heads
but few inches apart. Twelve men
worked with picks and shovels in the
rear basement of the Castle today.
They were divided into two SQUADS.
One squad worked under the the tin
shop and the other attacked the dirt
bottom of the cellar, near the rear and
west walls. 1t was close to the parti-
tion between the rear and front cellars.
under the stairs leading from the tin
shop, that early in the afternoon the
two masses of quicklime We're found.
Two bones and masses of hair were
found in them. A long, wooden, shall
low vat was found two feet under the
ground. 1t was expected that when
cleared out evidences that a human
body had been buried there would be
found but the examination resulted
in nothing of the kind. Either it was
a blind sewer or a secret repository.
A LETTER TO PAT.
The police have found letter from
Holmes to Pat Quinlan, to which much
importance is attached. The letter is
as follows:
Dear Pat: Among other fool theor-
les, they think you took the Pietzel
