CAPPs GOING TO SEE HATCH.
The Police Do Not Believe He Would
Prove Valuable Wftmessgassl-

Prove Valuable Wftnessg-as1l-
Chicago, Aug. Attorney William
Capps OF Fort Worth. who is in Chicago
representing the heirs of the Williams sis
ters, left tonight for Little Rock. He goes
with a letter from States Attorney Kern
of Cook county, authorizing him to repre-
sent Mr.. Kern in the negotiations con-
cerning Caldwell, alias Hatch, alias AL
len, now in the Little Rock penitenuary.
At best, the Chicago authorities do not
believe Allen, alias Hatch, can give infor-
nation that will develop evidence that
will prove murder, and they say his state
ments are contradictory and that the evil
dence of his having had absolute know
ledge of the murders committed by Holmes
is decidedly weak. Attorney Gapps has
convinced them, however, that there is
proof of the identity Of the prisoner as A.
E. Allen, alias A. E. Bond. alias Mascott
1t is clear that the police have been con-
ferring or attempting to confer with the
life insurance companies. An inadvertant
remark from one of the police was to-day:
You can bet they (meaning the life in
surance companies) will not admit having
paid losses to Holmes or upon any of his
alleged victims until they have proof that
will convict every conspirator against
them"
The foregoing remark referred to a $2O
900 policy believed to have been paid by
one of the companies. A well known local
hypnotist called upon Chief of Police Bad
enoch to-day and requested that he be
permitted to try his art upon Quinlan, the
proposition being to secure a confession
from Quinlan while the latter was in the
hypnotic state. The chief refused to test
the hypnotist's powers.

Spring street to the river bottom and the
other to the west, emptying 10 the north

the east of the city, mingling its waters
with the one coming down Spring street.
The flood came in two big waves, one
filing the Arroyo bank full and the other
pouring out over every street in the city.
