AN INJUNCTION ASKED.
Question Of Northern Pacific
Reorganization in Court
at ST. Paul.
Stockholder PearSall Of the
Great Northern Opposed
to the Deal.
Arguments by Prominent At
torneys Before Judge
Sanborn.

ST.. PAUL, Aug. S9.-One Of the most
important railroad law suits that has
been tried here in some time was begun
during the day before Judge Sanborn,
sitting in the United States circuit
court. It is the injunction suit of
Thomas w. Pearsall, stockholder in
the Great Northern railroad, to restrain
the officers of that road from carrying
through the deal for the control Of the
Northern Pacific. AS far as the direct
interests Of the parties to the action are
concerned the suit is not of material
consequence, but the final outcome is
expected to be so far-reaching in its ef-
feet and the public interest in the Teor-
ganization scheme is so great that the
action becomes Of the utmost import
ance. The public interest is shown by
the large number of leading attorneys
who are spectators at the hearing.
Asks an Injunction.
Pearsall is the holder Of 500 shares of
Great Northern stock, the face value Of
which is 800 per share, and he asks for
the injunction ON the ground that his
interests are likely to suffer if the Great
Northern is permitted to guarantee the
interest on the bonds of the Northern
Pacific, as the reorganization scheme
proposes. The Great Northern officials
have maintained that the suit was only
friendly action to settle the legal diff
culties in the way of carrying out the
proposed consolidation, but the manner
in which the plaintiff and his attorneys
are fighting the case seems to prove the
contrary.
Attorney General Childs is an inter-
ested spectator from the jury box, being
present to look after the interests of the
state. President Hill himself is also
present, and seated all around are a
number Of leading attorneys Of the city,
who drop in occasionally to watch the
proceedings.
The Argument Begun.
Attorney Kellogg read the answer to
the complaint in which defendant holds
that the consummation of the deal with
the Northern Pacific would result most
advantageously to the Great Northern
and would not depreciate the value of
the stock as plaintiff contends. At
torney Horn then began his address for
the plaintiff, going into the history OF
the roads at ome length. He declared
the two systems We're competitive lines
and the proposition TO consolidate was
in violation of the statutes.
Colonel Grover followed Mr.. Horn in
a brief statement of the case for the de-
fense, leaving the main argument to
Senator Davis. The senator began
speaking just before adjournment and
the bulk of his argument was confined
to quotations from decisions in cases
involving points similar to those raised
in this one.

Charred Remains Of Howard
Pietzel Unearthed Near
indianapolis.
Cottage Once Occupied by H.H.
Holmes the Scene of the
Discovery.
This New Evidence Believed
Sufficient to Secure
Conviction.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 28.-Indianapolis
will claim the right to try III. HI. Holmes
for murder This claim will be based
upon the horrible developments of
Tuesday, which include the finding Of
the charred remains of 9-year-old How
ard Pietzel and evidence which, before
any jury in the country, would convict
Holmes Of having murdered him and
then partially burned his body in a
stove.
Detective Geyer of Philadelphia,
Richards of indianapolis and Inspector
Gary of the Fidelity Insurance COM
pany, have been at work for weeks
hunting for traces of the boys body.
He was traced here with Holmes and
disappeared, The city was secured and
work begun in the suburbs hunting for
house rented by Holmes about Oct. 10
of last year. 49,
Located Holmes Cottage.
Tuesday morning the detectives went
to Irvington, a suburb of the city, and
the seat of Butler college, and before
they had been at work an hour their at
tention was called by local real estate
dealer to a small vacant cottage in the
woods at the edge of the town and far
removed from any other dwelling. In
a few minutes after the officers had en-
tered the cottage they found beneath
the side porch the missing trunk which
was taken from the side porch of the
"circle" house in this city Oct. 10 by H.
H. Holmes, and which was thought to
have contained the body of the boy. In
q barn connected with the house was a
large stove of the same pattern as
Holmes bought in Cincinnati He rented
the house under the same alias. The
stove haa been moved from the house
to the stable by the owner of the house
after Holmes left.
Search for the Remains
began, for it was concluded that the
body had been burned in the stove. Late
in the evening attention was called to
the stove hole where the stove had been.
1t was filled with refuse. This was
pulled and the remains of the boy were
found Physicians and dentists were
there, and in this pile of refuse hun
dreds of pieces of charred bones were
ut tcttu SilOWGu tildU IhC
was that Of boy between and 10
years of age, and all the other bones con-
firmed this. All were charred and
pieces of flesh clung to some of them.
The skull, bones and pelvis added to the
same convincing truth. The body had
evidently been
Burned In q Cob Fire
and in the huge stove found in the barn.
Howard's overcoat was found at a gro
Gerry store near by where Holmes had
left it, saying the boy would call for it.
Owners of the house recognize Holmes
from pictures, and several neighbors
distinctly remember him. All identify
him as the man who rented tina house
with the same story he told in Toronto
and other places, came with the boy and
the big stove, washstand and bed stayed
two days and then disappeared. Other
developments are expected, and with
this evidence Indianapolis will demand
Holmes for trial.
