Identified
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 28.-IndianapOls
will claim the right to try q. H. Holmes
for murder. This claim will be based
upon horrible developments, which in
clude the finding Of the charred remains
of 8-year-old Howard Pitzel and evil
dence which, before any jury in the
country, would convict H. H. Holmes
of having murdered him and then par
TALLY burned his body i'll stove. The
boy was traced here with Holmes and
disappeared. The city was secured and
work began in the suburbs hunting for
a house rented by Holmes on Oct. 10,
II or ~ of last year. Tuesday the de-
teetives went to IrVington and located
a small vacant cottage situated in the
woods at the edge of town, and far re-
moved from any other dwelling.
The officers found beneath the side
porch the missing trunk which was
taken from the side door of the Circle
House in this city Oct. 10 by H. H.
Holmes and which was thought to con-
tain the body of the boy The house
was guarded and work began searching
for additional evidence. Developments
followed thick and fast and the chain
is damning. In a barn connected with
the house was large stove of cylindri,
cal shape. Of the same pattern as Holmes
bought in Cincinnati. He rented the
house under the same alias. The stove
had been moved from the house to the
stable by the owner of the house after
Holmes left. 1t was at once concluded
that the body had been burned in the
stove and search began for the remains.
Late Tuesday evening D, J. E. Barn
hills attention was called by small
boy named Walter Jenny to the stove
hole where the stove had been. 1t was
filed with refuse. This was pulled out
and the remains Of the boy were found.
Physicians and dentists were there
and in this pile of refuse hundreds If
pieces of eharred bones were found.
