HOLMES REMARK
He Said ~ Suppose I'll Swing
for This"
Police Officials Think He Murdered
the Pietzel Children.
The Inquest on the Bodies Was Opened
Last Night.

TORONTO, Ont, July 1.-THE inquest
on the bodies OF Ell and Nellie Pietzel
was opened last night. Evidence was
taken as to the finding OF the bodies and
then thet jury adjourned until tonight TO
await the post mortem report OF the medi-
cal men, entrusted with the examination
OF the bodies.
Detectives Gever and Cuddy are hard at
work. They have discovered the express
men who took the trunk, which has In
variably accompanied Holmes in all his
journeys to the st. Vincent street house
and this man had no difficulty in picking
out Holmes photograph form a number
OF others. Detective Geyer thinks he has
clues that will lead to. the discovery of
the father OF Minnie X. Williams, Holmes
Chicago stenographer, who Holmes said
went to England with the children, but
whom Geyer believes Holmes to have
murdered.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 17.-H. III.
Holmes, alias Herman Nudge, according
to one Interpretation OF a remark made
by him, has virtually confessed 10 the
murder OF the two Pietzel children,
whose bodies where found In the cellar
of Toronto house. IL was learned today
at the Office Of the district attorney, that
during the two hours interview Holmes
had yesterday with three members of the
district attorneys staff he SAID: 81 sup
pose I'll swing for this. " This is the only
remark dropped from his lips which in
any way would tend TO incriminate him
and the district attorney takes this as a
practical admission OF Holmes guilt.
Notwithstanding Holmes remark his
counsel says he can prove an alibi in his
clients case. He says that Holmes was
not in Toronto when thSsPietzel children
were murdered. This, he states, can be
proved by Miss Howard, Holmes third
wife, who is at present in Franklin, Ind.

Local Stock Market.

The local stock market is in a peculiar
position. The brokers have inquiries
enough, those to sell overbalancing those
to buy, but it is difficult to get hold of
the bonds or stocks. Those that can be
obtained are up pretty high, being any
where from 81 TO go above the street
prices. Take Gorham preferred, for in
stance. II is quoted around ia, but the
brokers have to get 40 for 1t in order to
satisfy their patrons. Here is a peculiar
example of the way the thing works. A
customer ordered his broker TO sell 40
shares OF Pawtucket Gas at S1l2. About
the same time another customer came
along and said: "Buy me 30 shares OF
Pawtuckot Gas at ST. There was a
difference OF only half point, but neither
would change his proposition, and the
broker hasn't made the sale yet
There Is said TO be an excellent demand
for National and Providence Worsted
bonds, but they don't come out, thus
signifying that those who pinned their
faith to "Charlie" Fletcher have not been
influenced TO relinquish 1t because OF
labor troubles.

absorb all stock that anyone wanted 10 sell:
There has been close watch for evidences OF
selling by this Interest, but none that was
conclusive has been soen
IL looks as though some interest had ac-
cumulated large amount cf stock Tor long

say that the stock is not likely 20 be shaken

Linemen are now working from
Henderson this way stringing 'long
distance" telephone wires to Nash
vile, and in a few weeks Hopkins
vile will be connected by telephone
with New York, Philadelphia, Wash
ington Boston, Chicago, Cleveland,
Terre Haute, Cincinnati, and in
brief, every village, town and city
through which the wires of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany extend, and this includes TWEEN
ty-five states. At present the furth-
est northwestern point touched is Mar
rinet, Wisconsin; the furthest south
ern, Henderson; the furthest east
ern, New York, and the furthest
northern town is little place in
Maine.
The system is the double metallic
circuit. 1t is commonly known as
the '1ong distance telephone" It
will be far easier to talk from here to
New York over this wire than across
the street over the regular line. One
peculiararity about the metallic sys
tenn is that the further the distance
the more dictinct the sound.

lived at home, but adds that they are
innocent in thought, word and deed
