THE HOLMES CASE.
There Were no New Developments Yesterday, But the Chicago Police Are Again
 Mysteriousy Alert

Chicago, Aug. 2-There were no new developments in the Holmes case today. Grier. the Philadelphia detective, arrived this morning and held a conference with the police and left again for Philadelphia tonight. His conference with the police was in the presence of Pat Quinlan and his wife. In company with the police of this city Mir. Quinlan went to the Holmes castle today and gave the officers con- siderable information. Some of the fur niture in the Quinlan apartments there was identified as having once belonged 10 Julia Conner, who, with her daughter, is thought to be dead, victim of Holmes Mir. Quinlan gave the police this much information. After the police had talked with Grier and permitted Grier to talk with Quinlan and his wife the two be- came much more communicative.
 The police became mysteriously alert and it was at once learned that impor- tant information had been received. Chief Badenoch said: We have secured some very new and important information some very strong evidence against Holmes"
 Does it relate to the charge of for gery or murder?"
 That will not say at this time. We are using the information and adding to
  her testimony. We are not through yet and L will not give the information to the press until we are. Then I think the press will not be disposed to criticise us for the work we have done in this very much tangled case"
 .'Is it not true that the Quinlans are serving twenty years in the peniten- tiary when they contemplate return to Texas"
 "Yes. that is true We have undis- puted evidence that will send Holmes and Mrs Qunlan to the penitentiary for twenty years in Texas. and think Pat could be placed in the same net"
 From the fact that Greer has gone to Philadelphia and that Lawyer Capps has gone there it seems probable that there will be a convocation of Holmes ac- cusers in Philadelphia next week, and that it will then be decided who has the strongest case against him, and arrange ments will be made for requsition.
 Today Detective Grier said: The Toronto authorities are anxious to get Holmes. know they can prove the 1den- tity of the Pietzel children, whose bodies were found In the cellar Of the Henry street house. The Texas people, l mean the faction represented by Attorney Capps of Fort Worth, can send Holmes to the penitentiary for forty years.
