lieved TO be that of Mrs. Conner, one of

Chappell, who claimed to have articulated
several skeletons for Holmes, took two
detectives to the house of a West Side
physician. where the complete skeleton was
found. Chappell says that he got the
bones from Holmes. After examination the
police decided that thes skeleton is probably
that of Miss Eneline Cigrand. the Indiana
girl instead of that of Mrs. Conner 1t

One of the many theories that has been
advanced concerning the Holmes castle and
the many uses 10 which il was put is to
the effect that Holmes was a professional
''procurer.' The presence of so many
young girls about the premises at various
times has led TO the suspicion that Holmes
added this TO his other nefarious crimes.
In this way the disappearance of some of
the unfortunate creatures is accounted for.

Accounts for. the skeletons.


PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-Hoimes's at
torney gave out another statement to-
night. purporting to come from the arch
conspirator and relating to the statements
made by Charles Chappell. OF Chicago. to
the effect that he had articulated three
skeletons for Holmes. In the first place,
Holmes declared that any medical man
who failed to make a living by the practice
Of his profession adds 10 il in many other
ways By calling into play his scientific
knowledge. Accepting this idea himself,
he said he resolved to secure a number of
skeletons. and when he found them ex-
pensive he concluded that TO deal in the
ghastly articles would be a lucrative busi-
ness. Thereupon he procured a number of
corpses and had them scraped and articu-
lated, but the supposition that he had
murdered people to obtain them he secuted
as arrant nonsense
Il got them in legitimate manner,
he continued, ''aDd am prepared to prove
IL when the time comes"
There is not a soul living in Chicago who
can prove that i had anything to do with
the disappearance Of this aggregation of
people whose murder / am accused Of
