Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose. April 7-Detective Rob-
ert Stephenson and William Morgan,
agent for the United States EX-
press company at Binghamton,
are in town, in search of goods
supposed to have been stolen
from the Express company by Clarence
Warbeck, who has been employed as
porter and wagon man for the COM
pany at Jersey Cit. They have just
returned from the home of James Fox,
Warbeck's father-in-law, who lives in
Franklin township, three miles dis
tant from Montrose.
A thorough search was made, and a
tin pail half filled with cheap jewelry,
silver water pitcher and other articles
which are alleged to have been stolen
by Clarence Warbeck were found.
Mr.. Fox denies that he knew of the
existence of these articles. He has not
as yet been arrested for being implicat-
ed in the robberies and it is thought
that he will not be, as his reputation is
that of an honest man and his charac-
ter is beyond reproach.

TELEPHONE CASE REVIVED
Government Devising Means to
Further Prosecute It.
Berliner Patent Decision May BE Car
ried 10 the Supreme Court for
Final Sett lement.

The law officers of the Government have
| with the case against the Bell Telephone
Company for the repeal of the Berliner pat
| ent.
As the case now stands the bill of the Gov
ernment has been dismissed by the court
| of appeals for the first circuit. and under
that judgment the Bell Company has begun
proceedings against several of the corpora
tions which entered the telephone field after
the expiration OF the Bell patent in 1893.
The validity OF the Berliner patent is es-
sential to the further control of the telephone
business by the Bell Company, and the pres
ent situation is of additional interest, from
a legal or judicial point OF view, because
the case involves consideration of the act
of 1891 establishing the circuit court of
appeals.
BY the terms of the act creating circuit
courts OF appeal, the judgments of those
courts is final in all cases arising under
the patent laws, except where the judges
certify case to the Supreme Court ur
where the Supreme Court directs the case
to b, brought before it for review on a writ
of certiorari.
The telephone company is evidently in
clincd, to accept the decree of the curt of
appeals as final, and is proceeding to
enforce its claims under the patent. But
the government representatives are by no
means disposed to let the case rest he.e.
They say that a cas. Involving the question
whether or not the United States has the
right to sue for II ? cance!ia ion of a patent
is vastly different from controversy be-
tween two private parties over a patens
right, and that upsn -tt.at point an appeal
win lie to the Supreme Court from the iudg-
ment of thecourt of appeals.
And even il that ground should fail them,
they can sue for a review OF -. case nn a
writ of certiora.;. as provided in the law
itself. Which method of procedure will be
followed has not ye. been finally settled,
but il is asserted that the case will not be
permitted TO rest in its present condition.

He WAS KILLED And BURNED
Finding of the Body Of Little How
ard Pitezsl in a Stone Hole.
Though the Remains Were Neager,
Are Those of the Missing BOys

indianapolis, Aug. 28.-Probably the
greatest sensation yet developed in con-
nection with the career of the murderer
Holmes is that of the finding of the charred
remains of little Howard Pitczel in a small
vacant cottage in the little suburban vii
| lage of Covington. A trunk taken by
Holmes from the Circle House in this
city was traced by detectives. The
party went to the cottage and few
minutes later the officers found beneath
the side porch the missing trunk, which
was taken from the side door of the
Circle House in this city October 10 by
H. H. Holmes, and which was thought to
contain the body of the boy.
Great excitement followed and hundreds
flocked to the scene as ssoon as the discovery
leaked out, although the officers erdeay-
orcd TO keep the matter secret. The
house was guarded and work began searca-
ing for additional evidence.
Developments followed thick and fast
and the chain of evidence is damnng.
In q barn connected with the house was
a large stove OF cyliEdric shape of the came
pattern as Holmes bought in Cincinnati.
He rented the house under the same alag.
The stove bad been moved from the house
to the stable by the owEer of the house
after Holmes left 1t was at once concluded
that the body had been burned in the stove
and search began for the remains.
Late this evening DR.. j. F. Barnhill's
attention was called by small boy
named Walter Jenny to the stove hole
where the stove had been. 1t was filled
with refuse This was pulled out and the
remains OF the boy were found.
Physicians aud dentists We're there, and
in this pit of refuse hundreds OF pieces
of charred homes Were found. The teeth
showed that the body was that OF boy
between eight and ten years OF age, and
all the other bones confirmed this.
All were charred, and pieces of flesh
clung to some of them. The Skull bones
and plevis added to the same convincing
truth.
The boy had evidently been burned in
cob fire and in the huge stove found in
the barn. Howard's overcoat was found
at a grocery store nearby, where Holmes
had left 1t, saying the boy would call
for 1t. He never came.
Owners of the house recognized Holmes
fsom the pictures shown them. All iden-
tify him as the man who, last October,
rented the house with the same story
he told in Toronto and other places, came
with the boy and the bill stove, wash-stand
and bed. stayed two days and then dis
appeared.
Several people have identified him,
and all doubt is removed. Other develop
ments areexpecied tomorrow, and with this
evidence Indianapolis will demand Holmes
