HOLMES GRIMES.
A Woman's Disappearance Laid at the
Door of tho Murderer.
AURoA Uu.), July 2S.-Albert Phillips
OF this city. father OF Clarence Phillips,
who conducted restaurant IN Holmes
building: on Sixty-third street, during
the Worlds Fair, is confident that
Holmes is responsible Tor the disappear
ance of still another victim than those so
far known. Her name is Mrs. Lee.
Albert Phillips for several months as
sisted his son Clarence III conducting bis
restaurant, and became we'll acquainted
with Holmes during that time. Iester-
day he said to a reporter: "Ihe reVela-
tions in the case of Holmes make clear to

came to the place while | was there. she
was handsome brunette, tall and stately
and we'll dressed. She often displayed

ANOTHER ALLEGED DISCOVERY.
CHICAGO, July Is. Another alleged
startling discovery reported by the police
Yesterday was the finding Of woman's
footprint on the inside door OF the blind
vault on the third iloOr Of the building.
Although the vault had been carefully
examined on previous occasions, the foot
print was not found until yesterday. Up
TO that time the police had been entirely

construction of the vault arrangement
other than that advanced by onjecture.
Now it is believed by tho police that
Holmes victims, or some OF them, were
invelgled into the vault between the two
sets OF doors and there they were smoth-
cred to death.
\ mechanic who is generally known as
Charley Chapman is under surveillance
by the police. lie has not been formally
placed under arrest, but probably will be
as soon rs the police get from him all the
information he will give. II is said he
knows too much about Holmes to be an
innocent man. 1t was what he claims to
be the skull OF Mrs. Counor that he de-
livered to Inspector Fitzpatrick yeSter
day. He says that the balance OF the
bones are now III the hands of young
medical student to whom he loaned them.
The entire skeleton will probably be in
the hands of the police tomorrow, to-
gether with that OF Annie Williams.
Chapman is quite positive that he
knows from whose bodies the skeletons
were taken, and does not seem to realize
that he can be made 10 tell whore he ac-
quired the information or explain why he
held it secret. The mechanic was greatly
startled when he found that the police
knew of his connection with Holmes.
He was drinking in saloon and being
slightly intoxicated let slip several re-
marks which led to his apprehension.
He denied all knowledge of Holmes or
his doings at first, but decided later to
tell al least part OF what he knows. He
has pleaded with the police to keep his
name quiet, as he has two respectable
sons who are clerks in mercantile houses,
and stand we'll with their employers.
Upon information obtained from Chap
man, Inspector Fitzpatrick tonight got
possession of the trunk in which
Holmes claims to have put the Williams
girl when he said he threw it into the
lake. The body was put into the
trunk, but instead of being sunk in he
lake. it was sent to q house on Wen T.
worth avenue, near IWenty-second street,
Tor Chapman to work on.
Chapman says that when he received the
body there was only half the meat lett on
the bones, that the back of the head and
the hair were intact. He cleaned the bones
and set the skeleton for Holmes This
skeleton, he alleges, is still in the city,
and early tomorrow morning he PROM
ises to take the police to it. He also says
that the skeleton was disposed Of by
Holmes, and that the present holders are
unaware that the tiend ever had anything
to do with it, as the sale was made through
an agent
Chapman was to-day taken to the
Holmes house IN EnglewoOd. He has
pointed out two spots, one in the north
east corner of the cellar and another un-
der the sidewalk, where he claims the
police will find beneath the surface two
bricked graves, and he is of the opinion
that body may be found in one or both
of them An extra force OF men will be
put to digging for them early in the morn
ing.
Chapman's connection with Holmes
seems TO have been quite extensive. He
admits making trip to Davenport, Iowa,
to do some work for Holmes, but says
that after he arrived in the Iowa town ne
was unable to find Holmes, and came
back to Chicago without doing anything.
This was before the disappearance Of
Mrs. Connor, and it is believed that
Holmes original intention was TO murder
her there, but his plans miscarried at
that time.
Chapman further says that Holmes
offered him $50 TO set up the skeletons of
two children, and that he refused to do it.
When asked his reasons he became con-
fused, and said he simply disliked to job.
There is no person connected with
Holmes whom Chapman does not know.
He greeted Quinlan very cordially with
Hello, old man. how are you?"
As to Quinlan. Inspector Fitzpatrick
claims to have sufficient evidence already
