Bodies OF Two Of Hoimes' Victims Disoov-
cred In Toronto.
DETROIT, Mich. July 16.-A special
to The News from Toronto says: Found
buried in the cellar of the house, 8l6
st. Vincent street, were the bodies Of
Alice and Nellie, the two missing
daughters of Benjamin F. Pitzel. De-
tectives Cuddy of Toronto and Geyer
Of Philadelphia made the discovery and
all doubts as to their fate have been set
at rest.
1t is 10Y q matter almost beyond
doubt that II. II. Holmes, when here
last October, deliberately murdered the
pair and thus rid himself Of two troub-
lesome young beings after he had muir
dered their father in Philadelphia
The inquiries begun by the police led
to the knowledge that
Holmes and the Children
lived at the house in question, and a
search was made by the two officers. A
photograph of Holmes was shown to
Frank N. Nudel of the educational de-
partmeut. who owns SIG, and without
any hesitation he identified it as that
of his tenant. When they reached the
cellar it appeared to the detectives that
something had disturbed the cellar
floor, and. arming themselves with
shovels, they began to dig. A short
distance below the surface they came
across the arm and a portion of the
head Of one Of the little murdered
girls. Further work soon revealed the
entire body. not only Of the first, but
of her sister. They were both naked
and had lain there in all probability
since last October.
~Asphyxiated in . Trunk.
, There were no traces Of violence on
the bodies. and it is thought Holmes
decoyed the children into the trunk IN
der some protest and took them to the
house. Then gas was inserted by
of a tube through q small hole.
The trunk, with q hole in it neatly
covered over with a strap tackled down,
was found in one of Holmes rooms.
The little girls when found were naked
and had been buried without a coffin
of any kind. No trace of the boy How
ard, a lad of 3, has been found, but he
is thought to be dead. As the crime
was probably committed in this coun-
try it will be necessary to extradite
Holmes and put him on trial for the
murder here.
