garding the Pietzel Children.
PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-At his own
request H. H. Holmes, insurance
swindler and alleged murderer, was
brought into the Office of District At
torney Graham and allowed to maze a

effect. Mr.. Maher had recently sued
Mcnamara for attorney fees, winning
his suit, which angered Mcnamara
Doctors succeeded in removing the ball,
and say that Mr.. Maher will rapidly
recover. MtNamara is in Jail.
