SHE HAD MURDERED HER SISTER

As Alleged by Holmes, i'm a Fit Of Jeai-
ousy Over Himself
This is what Holmes writes next: "And
with only this one thought in her dsor
dered mind had rushed into the adjoining
room, where her sister then sat, and in
voice, which only the very few who have
been intimately acquainted with Miss
Williams can appreciate or understand the
the tragedy of had said: You devil.
You have stolen my usband from me.
At the same time she had struck her sister
with a small foot-stool causing her TO fall
to the floor where, with hardly struggle,
she had ceased to breathe. At first Min
ME thought her sister had only tainted
and tried to revive her, but finding her eff
forts useless, had remained In the position
in which he found her. Then came the
question of what TO do.
Holmes story of what was done follows:
I'VE clothed Mamie in light dress she
had liked TO wear, and taking a large
trunk she had brought with her from
Texas placed her therein went TO a
livery stable and obtained "a covered con.
veyance, and upon my return l engaged
man TO accompany me TO the house and
i then drove to the lake side and waited
until night had fallen, thus appearing to
parties noticing me, If any, that l was
awaiting the return OF some belated boat
ing party Then l procured boat at
some distance and took it near my waiting
place, and later with considerable trouble
placed the trunk in the craft and pro-
ceeded about one mile from the shore
There in the darkness passed beyond
the sight of this world into the ever grasp
ing depts of Lake Michigan all that was
mortal of this beautiful Christian girl.
Coming toward the shore thought it wise
TO deposit the trunk upon another and re-
mote portion of the beach did this and
after returning the boat drove away, and
later came back for the trunk. The house
keeping was broken up, and very shortly
thereafter Mr. Hatch took Minnie Will

sound mental condition had then been re-
moved.
I'VE kept Nannie's things several weeks

them when / assorted some of them and
gave them to Pitzel, telling him that they
were some that Miss Williams had sent To
his children. All the others were burned
In the large stove in the third-story Office,

authorities in the fall of 1894.

books was not taken from the express com
pany, owing To q mistake in charges,
though Miss Williams supposed this had
also been disposed of, and this was the one
later returned TO Fort Worth. The last
ever saw of Miss Williams was In Detroit

alive and well"
