HUNGER|NG FOR HIS NECK
The Chicago Police Want to
Try Holmes
FOR THE WILLIAMS MURDERS
Systematic Digging for Bodies Will Be
Done
Detective Geyer Has Positive Evidence That
Body Was Burned in the
Big Stove
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated frSSS SpeClhi h'Ie.
CHICAGO, July Alt is the inten-
Zion of the Chicago police to make every
effort to have II. II. Holmes, the swind-
Ter, brought here to answer the charge OF
having murdered the Williams sisters.
The local officials are convinced that the
murder of the Williams girls was the first
committed by Holmes, and they argue
that in consequence he should be re-
quired to stand trial for it first. They
also insist that they will be able to pro-
duce evidence that he did murder the
sisters. The police are by no means con-
yinced by the analysis made by doctor
on Saturday showing that the substance
found in the big stove in Holmes house
was fire-clay and not human bones. They
say that fireclay would not become brittle
in any kind of heat whereas portion
OF that found in the stove crumbled in
the hands of Detective Fitzpatrick.
1t developed today that the substance
on which the first report of the finding OF
the bones of Minnie Williams was hinged
was in the hands of Detective Geyer OF
Philadelphia 1t was said that he visited
Chicago a week ago, and when he lett
carried with him positive evidence that a
in Holmes office. 1t was also learned to-
day that Detective Geyer would come to
Chicago after he completes his search for
the remains of Howard Pitzel in Detroit
and will cooperate with the Chicago Off
GERS in whatever may be done hereafter.
In police circles it was said tor ight the
only hope of convicting Holmes was in
Chicago. 1t was said that the Philadel-
phIa authorities could convict him OF
nothing more serious than insurance
swindiing. and that the Canadian author
tiles would not 60 TO the expense OF ex-
traditing and trying him. In the event
that Detective Geyert fails to locate the
body of Howard Pitzel in Detroit every
thing will depend on the work OF the
Chicago police. No work was done upon
the basement of the Engelwood house to-
day, but twenty-five men will be put TO
work in the morning digging it up. The
work that has been done thus far in this
direction has been without system, and
it is Just as likely that evidence OF
crime may have been more deeply buried
as that one might have been disclosed.
The tank in which the explosion took
place Saturday has been filled with water,
and it will require the services Of fire
engine to pump it out before the invest-
cation can proceed.
nor, discredits the story that she and her
daughter were murdered by Holmes. He
thinks that both are alive and that Mrs.
Connor does not make her whereabou
known on account OF the trouble she had
with her husband.
TORONTO. July 21.-By a clever ruse
Mrs. Pltzel was saved from intervewefs
yesterday. A closed cab drove 10 to the
Rossin house and Defective Geyer got out
and entered the hotel, returning in a few
moments with a veiled female, whom it
was announced he was taking to Detroit
and that she was Mr.. Pitzel. AS mat
ter OF fact she did not leave till this
morning.

WASHINGTON. July 2l.-The district
land officers in those parts Of Kansas
and Nebraska where parts of the former
Otoe and Missouri Indian reservations
are located have been instructed to inform
the purchasers of the lands that the bal
ances due from them must be paid within
ninety days or their entries will be can
celed.
These lands were bought at public auc-
tion in 1883 AT prices largely in excess of
their appraised value. One-fourth of the
purchase money was paid down and the
rest was payable in one, two and three
years at live per cent interest. Congress
extended the limit of the time of payment
of these amounts two years each time.
In March 1885 it passed bill giving re-
lief in case the Indians would accept
the provisions. The Indians have refused
to do this and the department will enforce
the original contracts. There is now $l92,-
122 principal and $4,000 interest due on
the lands.
