answer to an advertisement for a COM
panion of an elderly woman. and was
lurcd to a place of i'll reputc. She man.
AGED to cscaDo from the house and was
sheltered by a Dhilauthropic woman in
this city
She became an adapt at manicurfng
and through an advertisement met one,
Minnie Williams who is supposed to be
the woman of that name whom Holmes is
accused Of numbering i'm Chicago. Minnie
introduced Mabel to a Mr.. Howard. who
is believed to have been Holmes. Howard
agreed to start Mabel in business in New
York with a Mary Forster of u West 18th
street and MabclacCompanied Howard and
Minnie Williams 10 New York promising
to write to her friends here These friends
have received no letter from her and they
have been unable to find any trace of her
in New York. They are positive that
Holmes murdered her to obtain insurance
money. Mabel learned the names of many
wealthy men who visited the house OF Ill
repute while she was an inmate and it is
thought that Holmes obtained Information
of this through the Williams girl and in
tended to blackmail them. This may eN-
plain why Boston man has been tinan-
cially assisting Holmes, it being suggested
that he is being blaclmailed.

SEARCH FOR INMAN ABANDONED.
His wife Believes That He Is Dead -
Others That He Left Town

White River Junction. VT, July 81
There is continued sorrowing in tho Inman
family, a no word has been received from
the missing husband. The civil authori-
ties are doing nothing, except what Sheriff
Peck is doing of his own volition, without
prospect of remuneration, and the search
has practically been abandoned. Mr.. In
man has not been a we'll man since he
was discharged from the army in 1850.
He has suffered greatly from stomach
trouble, affection of the spine and rheu-
matism in the right shoulder, resulting
from amputation of the arm.
/ Mrs. Inman is still confident that her
husband is not alive. His malfcasance in
the appropriation of funds of the @. \. +.
post is the only reason offered that he has
absc onded. The fact that he turned over
the keys to the rooms of railroad men
whom he called to work, and removed
private papers from the Office desk at the
depot, and left it unlocked for the first
time, indicate his purpose to leave town.
