Harry Walkers Disappearance
Credited to the Suspected Man.
HE WAS HIS SECRETARY
Lured BY Tempting Offers He Is Said
10 Have Entered Holmes Employ
In Chicago and Suddenly Dropped
Out of Stght-His Life Was
Insured.
by Associated Pressl

Greensburg, Ind, Aug. 1.-Facts have de-
Veloped here which make the supposition
very strong that Harry Walker, who mys-
terlously disappeared from here about two
years ago, became another victim of H
II. Holmes
He first met Holmes at indianapolis.
Holmes was deslrous of employing a secre-
tary and Offered Walker large salary
TO fill the position Mr.. TilSon, Walker $
employer, thought it was some queer
scheme and acting upon his advice Walker
abandoned the idea.
About three weeks afterward Holmes
came to the city and registered at the
Hotel Dearmond as Waldo Bunkhorn, In
didnapohs He inquired for Walker, and
they had a long talk together and drove
over the City and out into the country a
distance. Holmes offered TO inCrea Sc
his proposition If Walker would go to
Chicago with him and assured Walker that
he would enjoy living there. He also
induced Walker TO have his life insured
for S15 900, and promised TO pay all
dues in case Walker died.
Walker left shortly afterwards and went
to Eatesyille, where he engaged in the
Jewelry business. He had not been there
long, however, when he mysteriously dis
appeared. IN about ten days the pro-
prietor OF the hotel at which he boarded
received the following letter:
Chicago, Nov. z, 1898.
Mr.. ROlphes:--I am secretary for Holmes
who was down to see me the other day.
He viii pay me 81 900 year, which is
more than | could make in Batesvile or
Greenburg either. | Will be down i'll few
days aud settle. Yours, as ever,
HARRY WALKER.

TO REDEEM OLD EDGEDWOOD
Kate Chase Tells Of the Plan to
Save the Estate.
She Is Now Homeless, But Hopes
Funds VIII Be Raised to Clear
the IDcumbrance.
lBy Associated Press.l

New York, Aug. Mrs. Kate Chase has
arrived in this city from Washington and is
stopping at hotel here. In conversation
to-day Mrs. Chase said:
$50 many somewhat contradictory stories
have appeared Of late throughout the coun-
try In regard to my undertakings to re-
deem Edgewood, the home of the late
Chief Justice Chase, that it is wise, per-
haps, for me to state that the moment has
not yet arrived for me to give full and
complete history embracing the real facts
that led tony nancialembarrassInent
Perhaps am not the only individual whose
resources have been impaired during the last
three years.
II regret the tenor OF these articles, for
they cannot fail TO be misleading. The CO.
operation of a number of prominent men
and men of large wealth TO save Edgew ood, q,
a valuable, historic landmark, as testi-
mony of their appreciation of the valuable
public services of Secretary Chase, and to
relieve the urgent pecuniary needs of his
daughter, has been liberal. As to the part
Ohio people have taken in the matter, /
may say that a great number have ex-
pressed approval, but / have not heard what
has been accomplished in that State,
though many Ohioans in New York are
participating.
Regarding the publications mentioned
| have noticed names Of men as participant
ing, who, to my own knowledge, have not
been approached. These publ ca tions
are calculated To give the impression that
my work is completed. But the fact is that,
until its claim is satisfied, the trust com
pany that foreclosed has seen fit TO insist
that | aud my children should yacate our
home and give them absolute possession,
though portion OF my furniture is per
mitted to remain temporarily. L have
been compelled to find domicile for my
invalid daughter and her compa and
l am now actually without a home: The
fund necessary TO clear Edgewood is not
sufficient aud l make this statement
that those who may care to interest
themselves may know that the need has
not passed"

Mr.. Sands was present at the meeting

prior TO the transaction OF any other busi-
ness, the accusation was presented and he
was given permission to make a defense
His explanation was not accepted. however.
and upon a vote being taken there was a
practically unanimous expression against
him.
There have been grave doubts enter
talned OF Sands loyalty ever since the
trouble began between the employees and

him only through the agency or an in

fuse 10 take cut the cars on Monday unless
the discharged employees are reinstated,

without foundation. The information ot
such proposition given TO the press was
declared TO be incorrect and W withouU

appointed by the union but composed OF
Columbia Road employees, win call upon
superintendent BOteler to-day and ask
for the reinstatement of Conductor Moore

By unanimous vote the union decided
that the union men on the Metropolitan

cars on the Ninth street line. The penalty
for a violation OF this order viii be q
dismissal from the organization.
The declaration by Mr.. Phillips president
