KILLED BY HOLMES
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TW>
CHILDREN IS EXPLAINED.
The Bodies OF the Two Daughters o.
BeDjaMin f. Pitxel Are Found
Buried i'm the Cellar of
House In Toronto,
CInade.
HOLMES WAS =HE MURDERER
No Doubt That the Insurance Swim
dler Killed the Children After
He Had Murdered the Father.

Toronto, Ont, July 17-Found buried
in the cellar of the house No. S16, St.
Vincent street to-day, were the bodies
of Alice and Nellie, the two missing
daughters Of Benjamin F. Pitzel. De-
tectives Cuddy of Toronto and Gey-
er of Philadelphia made the discovery
and all doubts as to their fate have
been set at rest.
It is now q matter almost beyond
doubt that III. II. Holmes, while here
last October, deliberately murdered
the pair and thus rid himself Of two
troublesome young beings after he
had murdered their father in PhiM-
delphia.
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. Nu-
del, of the educational department,
who owns S16, and without any hesi-
tation he identified it as that Of his
tenant. When they reached the cellar
1t 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 portion Of the
head Of one Of the little murdered
girls. Further work revealed the en-.
tire body not only Of the first; but of
her sister. They were both naked
and had lain there in all probability
since last October. The last trace the
officers had of the children was at
Detroit. The children were taken
there from Chicago where they had
been attending school. They boarded
on Congress street, west. one week
In October, 1894. Holmes secured
possession of Alice, aged thirteen
first taking her to Philadelphia to
identify her fathers body. Then he
went to St. Louis and told the mother
that he would put Howard and Nellie
In good school In Indianapolis. This
was on Sept. %, 1894. Mrs. Pitze
received two letters from Holmes IL
Indianapolis, and. acting on~hi al
vice she went to her parents home In
Illinois. Becoming worried about the
children she went to Chicago where
she received word from Holmes to &C
to Detroit. She met him in that city
and demanded the children, but was
induced to 60 with him to Toronto
and then to Burlington, VT. So far as
known the boy was never seen in De
troit.
