A TRAIL OF BLOOD
More Startling Evidence Brought
10 Light in the caste"
LOOKS VERY BAD FOR QUINLAN
Two Trunks Which lie Claims Are His
Bear the Initials of Miss
Williams.

Chicago. Aug. 5.-Human blood was
found today in the Holmes castle" be-
spattered from one room to another
Science aided Detectives Fitzpatrick
and Norton where other agents had
failed and uncovered more startling ey-
ldence against H. II. Holmes and Pat
Quinlan than has been found in the
castle" There was found in the cas-
tle' by the detectives and a medical ex-
pert trail Of blood leading from the
doorway Of the dining room Of Mrs.
Julia l.. Conner to sink in the same
room, from there into the dark chamber
where she and Pearl formerly slept and
from there to the inside Of the door
secret trapdoor was, on the Dashboard
of that room above the trapdoor, and
down onto the secret staircase which
led TO the false elevator shaft and
thence into the basement
In Pat Quinlan's private living rooms
were found two trunks Of a theatrical
type. On both trunks were the initials
NJ. K, W. The initials had been paint
ed over. The initials are those Of Minnie
K. Williams. Pat Quinlan stated after
his being taken into custody that both
Of the trunks belonged to him Detect
ives Norton and Fitzpa atrick have now
the truth that both the trunks belonged
to Minnie Williams. The inference
drawn by the officers from the trail Of
blood which was discovered was that
the blood, being human, came from
some person who was killed In the dark
chamber, dragged from there to the
lrapdoor, thence to the basement be-
meath. A chemical analysis of all the
blood will Immediately follow.

THE RIOTS ARE SPREADING
England Is Reused and Demands That

| Chicago, Aug. 6.-The following letter
from Rev. NJ. Updegraft, dated at

| here this morning:
ne present occupation Of the mis-
| slonaries in Chung King may be de-
| scf1oed as permanent council of war.
| AS the reports come in from the differ
ent parts Of the province we begin to
| understand how Widespread and seri-
Gus are the riots. So far as can be
learned that only Chen Tu but the
Tar western part Of the province has
been raided. The annual festival Of the
fifth moon, May 20, found a widely
scattered force of French, Americans
and English in serene possession Of the
field, yet before the feast had closed
the central stronghold had fallen and
the mission premises at Chen Tu were
devastated and the residents prisoners
in the Yamen. E,xtravagant stories Of
child eating. treasure hunting, mutila-
ton and other practices as absurd as
false We're abroad and a spark set the
whole mass aflame

dist and spreading with diabolical Inn
partiality to Catholic, China inland

hateful foreigner was rooted out.

the whole left a wreck and ruin, the full
tale Of which will never be told Hav,

either looted or attempted, and a reign
of terror was inaugurated."
STORY OF THE ATTACK.
A second letter from Dr. Updegraft,
dated June 90 describes the situation
further. as follows:
Slowly the details Of the riots in
the western part Of Szchuen filter down
to US here. Three separate parties or
refugees left for the coast and from
them We gather more knowledge Of
the experience of these days When
the mob first struck the Canadian Meth
odist place in the northeast corner
Of Chen Tu 1t was towards the evening
Of the fifth feast day. Stones We're
used first, then the doors burst in and
the rioters had possession Of the outer
yard. Two plucky Anglo-saxons
stood off that yelling host and made
them run with the only show Of resist
ance possible. while messengers were
sent to the Yamen to urge the dilatory
officials to instant action, but in vain
The forces Of fear and custom both |
operate to prevent promptness, and as |
they united until the mobs gathered in |
numbers and strength and impetus, |
and the inadequate but heroic garrison |
saw their hopes Of safety carried off |
