THE HOLMES MYs Terry.
Minnie Williams Said to be Alive II
London-Chlcago Police
Raffied

Baffied.
SHERMAN, Tex, Aug. 1.-[Spe.
cial. Captain J. j. Massie, of Fort
Worth, who was for long time
financial agent for Minnie Will
liams, the Texas girl, who is sup
posed to have been murdered by
the swindler, Holmes, who is now
in Jail in Philadelphia, has re-
ceived tidings bearing upon the
mystery.
Massie says Minnie Williams is
now in London, but that her sister,
Mamie Williams, was undou bted-
ly murdered. Massie refuses to
talk further about the case.
LITTLE Rock, Aug. 1.-Convict
Allen persists in his assertion that
Minnie Williams was alive six
months ago and it is his belief that
she is alive now. He did not meet
Holmes in Arkansas and his con-
nection with him was confined
solely to Texas, in Fort Worth. He
knows a great deal about the lat
ter's crookedness in that city he
says. He never wrote any letters
to Holmes. Allen declares the de-
tectives from Chicago will get
nothing for their trouble unless
they are able to secure his release
from the penitentiary. "When
the authorities come to my terms
/ will talk and not BEFORE" is all
Allen will say in regard to the case.
Allen undoubtedly knows all about
Holmes operations in Texas, but
that he knows the whereabouts of
Minnie Williams or that he had
anything to do with her disappear
ance, is considered extremely
doubtful here. When asked il he
would parole convict Allen and
under certain conditions pardon
him, Governor Clark said the con-
ditions would have to be present
ed and taken up in proper form be-
fore he could return an answer to
that question. The chief executive
of Arkansas would evidently do
anything reasonable to assist in
clearing up the mystery surround
ing Holmes but he would have to
be convinced that Aliens story
is not made for the purpose of Sc
curing pardon before he would
grant even parole.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The police
have acknowled defeat in their ef-
forts to secure direct eliminating
evidence against Holmes.

simply wanted to Take Her PHI.

One day an old lady boarded the train
at Crystal Falls. Ere long she inquired
of the conductor as to the time the train
would reach Stager, aud the obliging
official promptly informed her. But
the old lady was not satisfied long aud
was soon again plying him with ques-
tions. When Stager was reached the
conductor was busy attending to his
duties and forgot all about the old lady.
Entering the car some moments after the
train was under way he was surprised
to find her still among his passengers.
Thinking she had misunderstood the
brakeman's call, the conductor rang the
bell and ordered the engineer to back to
the station, nearly two miles. Reaching
the platform again the conductor In
formed her that she was at her destina-
ton, and was knocked silly when she
replied: IL as-sQt want to get of here.
NV daughter told me to take NV pill

Condolences OF CLIENTS.
A Noted Precedent which stamps Them

A Noted Prcccdent which stamps Them
as inviolabic.
The matter OF condolences between
counsel and client is one Of great inter
est and Importance, said wcll-lxnown
jurist and cx-judgc the other day.
AS so the duty of lawyer on tho
trial OF cnse where he has been In
formed by his client that he is guilty.
the best and most controlling example
is that Of Charles James Phillips, the
eminent British barristcr, who in many
directions was rated in his time as sec
ond only TO Lord Erslxine.
He was defending Courvoisicr, who
was indicted for the murder OF Lord
RUSSELL During the trial. on the ex-
animation of very important witness
for the people, the accused was much
overcome, and in the intensity OF his
emotion communicated either to MIR.
Phillips or to his solicitor the fact that
he was guilty of the crime.
Mr.. Phillips Immediately asked for an
Adjournment OF the case. and for n con
sultation with the judges. The con-
Hultation was granted. and Mr.. Phillips
stated 20 the bench that the accused
had confessed his guilt, and requested
the judges 20 point out 10 him his path
OF duty. The judges, after dclibcration,
stated that he would have perfect
right TO make such legal and logical de-
auctions from the evidence rs no
thought tended 10 the exculpatIon OF
the accused. but II would be unprofcs-
sional 70 state 10 the jury any personal
belief Of his innocence.
In his argument 10 tho jury Mr..
Phillips, carried away by his emotions
and imagination, did state TO the jury
his own personal belief in the innocence
of his client. and this statement Of bis
occasioned much criticism aftcrwnrd.- -
