FOUND IN THE CHIMNEY.
Charred Chunks Which May Be Part of the Re- mains of Howard lndianapo-
 lis After Holmes.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 2S.-Last night three large charred chunks were found in the chimney of the house in Irvington. where H. H. Holmes is supposed to have murdered Howard Pietzel. This morning examinations showed that one was a hu- and spine of a human being. Another was the base of a skull with three yer tebrae attached to the larynx and dried up brains. The third was part of the pelvis. with section of thigh bone at tached. The doctors were able to dis tinguish these only after the charred flesh had been scraped away. A bunch of black hair corresponding to that of the murdered lad was dug from the dirt of the cellar this morning.
 From the bottom of the stove, in which the body is supposed to have been burned, the detectives scraped substance which they supposed was formed by the blood and grease from the body. The corpse was evidently burned on the second floor, and the unburned portions thrown into the chimney fiue, the base of which rests on the cellar floor. This morning the chimney was torn away and scarf pin was found. It was made in the shape of a twig, with branches and flower orna- ments, and is supposed to have been worn by the boy. At noon today Superintend- ent of Police Powell and Coroner Castor went before the grand jury and presented the facts in the case. d. ,i.<
 A strong effort will be made to bring Holmes here, as the evidence is thought to be very conclusive.

The Atrocous Murder of Woman by Her Mad
 dened Husband.


 New York, Aug. 2S.-One of the most atrocious murders that has occurred in New York for years was committed about 10:30 o'clock today at 515 East Thirteenth street, when a jealous hus- band, crazed with rage, because, as he claims, his wife wronged him, butchered her with a knife. The murdered woman was Annie Postulka, 45 years of age. The murderer is Charles Postullxa, butcher, who married her two years ago, when-sbe was a widow with six children, all of whom are living. The eldest is Lizzie 19 wears old, who assisted her mother in running the Cafe Waldorf, at IA East Fourth street.
 The murderer's explanation of the act is that he went home unexpectedly and found a strange man in compromising position with his wife. He asserts that he saw sufficient to convince him that his wife was not a proper woman and was unfaithful to him. He picked up 8 butcher knife and slashed her until she was left a mangled corpse on the floor The womans hands were cut to pieces where she grasped the knife with which her death wounds were inflicted and struggled mady with her murderer for its possession. The frenzied man drew the weapon across her throat from ear to ear. Then he showed the blade down her throat and drew 1t across her cheek, so that her chin was almost entirely cut away. Not satisfied with this he jabbed the knife into the unfortunate womans s back and cut out large piece of flesh The murderer was arrested while calmly seated at table at his wife's cafe.
