Memphis. Tenn. July 2.-Hatch. alias
Allen. alias Caldwell. alias Foggert. alias
Mascot, the convict doing time in the Ar
kansas penitentiary. who has been alluded
to as one of the right hand confederates
of Holmes. is undoubtedly huge fake. so
far as any connection he may have had
with Holmes and his crimes is concerned,
and it is most probable that the police OF
Memphis viii be able to show that at the
time this man of many aliases claims to
have been operating with Holmes in
Texas, he was doing term in the peniten-
tiary OF Tennessee. His first penitentiary
sentence in this state was for horse steaI-
ing and was for twenty-one years, but
he was pardoned and resumed his old
habits. He is not at all the kind of man
Holmes would select for his confederate.
and his travels have not carried him OUT
side Tennessee and Arkansas.
Chicago. Aug 2-There were no new
important developments in the Holmes
case to-day. Geyer, the Philadelphia de-
tective, arrived this morning, held a con-
ference with the police and left again for
Philadelphia tonight His conferences
with the police was in the presence oe
Patrick Quinlan and his wife. In COM
pany with the police officials, Mrs. Quin-
Ian went to Holmes castle" to-day and
gave the officers considerable information.
Some of the furniture in the Quinlan
apartments there was identified as hav-
ing once belonged 20 Julia Connor, who,
with her daughter is thought to be dead
"a victim of Holmes. Mrs. Quinlan gave
the police this much information. After
the police had talked with Detective
Geyor and permitted Detective Geyer to
talk with Quinlan and his wife the two
became more communicative. The police
became more alert and il was announced
that important information had been re-
ceiYed. Chief Badenoch said: I'VE have
secured some new and very important
Information from Mrs. Quinlan. She has
given as some very strong evidence
against Holiness"
Does 1t relate to the charge Of forgery
or murder?"
THAT 1 viii not say at this time we
are using the information and adding to
1t by new discoveries made by the use Of
her evidence. We are not through yet
and Will not give the information to the
press until we are. Then l think the press
will not be disposed to criticise us for the
work we have done in this very much
| tangled case"
It is not true that the Quinlans are
| staring a twenty-year sentence In the
| peniteutiary in the face when they contera-
plate requisition to Texas?"
Yes, that is true. We have undisputed
| evidence that viii send Holmes and Mrs.
Quinlan TO the penitentiary for twenty
years in Texas, and think Pat could be-
placed in the same net"
From the fact that Geyer has gone to
Philadelphia and that Lawyer Capps has
gone there, It seems probable that there
Will be convocation of Holmes accusers
in Philadelphia some time next week, and
that It will then be decided who has the
strongest case against him, and arrange-
ments will be made for a requisition.
To-day Detective Geyer said: THE To.
ronto authorities are anxious to get
Holmes. / know they can prove the iden-
tity of the Pietzel children whose bodies
We're found in the cellar Of the house in
Henry street. The Texas people, mean
the faction represented by Attorney
Capps of Forth Worth, can send Holmes
TO the penitentiary for twenty years cas-
lily enough"
When asked what had been the result
OF his search for the body Of Howard
Pietzel in indianapolis, Detective Geyer
said: THUS far there have been no re-
suits, but have not given up. / think ths
boys body is buried somewhere in In
dianapolis."
do you think either of the Williams
sisters is alive?'
mo, If either were alive Holmes would
not attempt to explain how one of them
was killed. If their blood was not ON
his hands he would have no story of blood
to tell about either one of them"
Chief OF Police Badenoch left the city
tonight, saying he was going to his
summer home In Wisconsin and would NOT
return to Chicago until Saturday and 1t is
said he has gone there to verify evidence
given by Mrs. Quinian against Holmes.
