pressed with the gravity of his duty,
turned to the twelve men in the jury box,
and, in slow, measured tones, said the
fateful form:
Jurors, look on the prisoner. Prison
er, look on the jurors. How say you, gen
tlemen of the jury? Do you find the pris-
oner Mt the bar, Herman w. Mudgett,
alias III. III. Holmes, guilty of the murder
Of Benjamin +. Pitzel, or not guilty?"
The spokesman of the twelve men had
not been touched with pity for the pris.
oner, for he answered promptly, clearly
and without shadow of feeling:
Guilty of murder in the first degree"
The accused stood like statue as the
verdict was being pronounced. There
was no tremor in his shrunken form; no
twitching of lip. His marvellous self
mastery had not forsaken him. There
was a tighter clasp on a paper he held
in his hand, but the eyes rested on the
Jury as though held by mysterious
magnet. At last Holmes relieved the ten
sion by clearing his throat with hoarse
"hem" as he slowly sank into, his seat,
and the people moved in their seats and
turned to make whispered comments.
This remarkable criminal, however
was to give yet another evidence of his
self-possession. His counsel requested
the clerk to poll the jury, and each Of the
twelve men reaffirmed the verdict which
their foreman had already given. AS each
name was called Holmes wrote 1t on the
margin of the newspaper. There was no
trembling of the fingers which guided the
lead pencil, and the writer glanced up al
each juryman in turn, as though fixing
the face in his memory.
The Court made formal record of the
verdict, and Holmes counsel made the
expected motion for a new trial. Holmes
followed the proceedings in silence, and
when an officer indicated that he was nc
longer wanted he arose alertly without
protest or apparent reluctance, and start.
ed out of the courtroom. He was taken
to his cellroom, and few minutes later
left for the prison, where he will proba.
bly, remain several months until his ap.
peal is passed on.
Holmes spoke to his counsel, Rotan and
Shoemaker. in the cellroom before he was
taken back to Moyamensing prison. To
them he said: II feel that his condemns
ME. 1t was an unjust trial"
The specific offense for which Holmes
was tried was the murder of his confed.
crate in fraud, Pitzel. They had planned
that the latter should insure his life, that
a dead body procured III some way should
be palmed off on the insurance company
as that of Pitzel, and the money be col
lected and divided. Holmes simplified
matters by numbering Pitzel and getting
rid Of partner who would have insisted
on division of the spoils. The only dis
puted question was whether Pitzel com
mitted suicide or was murdered. The evi
dence satisfied the jury that he did not
kill himself. but was murdered That
being the case they had no difficulty In
arriving at the conclusion that Holmes
was the murderer. He alone had mo-
tive, and he had abundant opportunity
His conduct subsequent to Pitzels death
furnished ample corroborative evidence.

HOLMES Is TO HANG
MODERN BoRolA CONVICTED IN
PHILADELPHIA
Arch Fiend and Monster In Human
Form Found Guilty of Murder In
the First Degree-Jury Needed No
Time for Debate.


Henry II. Holmes, otherwise Herman
w. Mudgett, swindler, bigamist, murder
er and arch hend, has been arrested in his
career of crime by verdict of murder In
the first degree, that Is likely to send him
after his many victims into the unknown
beyond the grave. The monster who
built In Chicago labyrinth to snare and
kill human game without detection, who
slew innocent children without reason or
compunction, who made pastime Of be-
traying women, who waded through blood
for money, who robbed widows and or
phans, who exhausted an experts ingenu-
ity In devising new forms of death, who
successfully swindled insurance compa-
mics of thousands, who escaped detection
for years in the most remarkable and
varied career in the annals of American
crime, was convicted in Philadelphia Sat
urday of the murder of Benjamin Il Pit
eel, of Chicago.
The man who was about to hear the
warrant for his death, who had melted
out death to others without mercy and
who had gone through trying ordeals
almost without a culver of the lips or n
twinge of the conscience, stood erect in
the dock, unmoved, apparently unheeding.
On his face sat the pallor Of death, but
1t had been there for days, and did not
deepen as he gave one swift glance at the
rows of unsympathizing eyes at his back
turned his gaze at the jury in q blank
stare, and clasped his hands behind him.
Once or twice he moistened his lips with
his tongue, apparently. betraying a fever
Of anxiety that he held in check with his
Iron nerve. There was no other sign of
agitation, and Holmes heard his doom in
silence, as though it might have been a
dream.
The clerk of the court, in voice op-

The names are both feminine and the
address is a wellknown city. The uni

such a speculation, even to accommodate
two young ladies of 10.
