MORE EVIDENCE.
Boys Charred Remains In a Room
Formerly Occupied by Holmes.
CHASTITY FIND At INDIANAPOLIS
Which May Explain the How
ard Pltze! Mystery.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8.-Indianapelis
will claim the right to try III. II. Holmes
for murder. This claim will be based
upon the horrible Developments of yester-
day, which include the finding of the
charred remains OF 9-year-old Howard Pit
EEL and evidence which should convict
III. III. Holmes of having murdered him
and then partially burned his body In
stove. Detectives Geyer Of Philadelphia,
Richards of indianapolis. and Inspector
Gary Of the Fidelity Insurance company
have been at work for weeks hunting for
traces Of the boys body. He was traced
20 here with Holmes, and then he disap-
peared.
Yesterday morning the detectives went
TO Covington, a suburb of the city, and
the seat Of Butler college. and before they
had been at work an hour their attention
was called by local real estate dealer TO
small vacant cottage situated In the
woods ut the edge Of the town and far
from any other dwelling.
The party went to the house, and few
minutes later the officers found bensath
the side porch the missing trunk which
was taken from the side door Of the Circle
House In this city by III. III. Holmes and
which was thought To contain the body OF
the boy. Great excitement followed, and
hundreds hocked to the scene as soon as
the discovery leaked out, although the
officers endeavored to keep the matter
secret. The Ssuse was guarded and work
begun searching for additional evidence.
In "a barn connected with the house
was large stove of cylindrical shape, OF
the same pattern as Holmes bought In
Cincinnati.
Young Pitxers Body Found.
Late last evening ID. j. r. BarnhilPs at
tention was called by n small boy named
Walter Jenny TO the stove-hole where the
stove had been. Itwas filled with refnse
This was pulled out and the remains of
the boy were found.
Physicians and dentists were there, and
In this pit Of refuse hundreds OF pieces of
char-ed bones were found The teeth
showed that the body was that of boy be-
between s and 10 years Of age, and ali the
other bones confirmed -ti1is-Aff were
charred, and pieces Of flesh clung to some
OF them. The skull-bones and pelvis
added to the same convincing truth.
The boy had evidently, been burned In a
cob fire and in the huge stove found Ia the
barn. Howard's ovcrcoat was found at
grocery store nearby, where Holmes had
left IL, saying the boy would call for IL.
He never came. Owners of the house
recognized Holmes from the pictures
shown them.
Allidentify him as the man who, last
October, rented the house, with the same
story as he told in Toronto and other
places, came with the boy and the big stove,
washstand and bed, stayed two DAYS and
then disappeared. Several people have
identified him and all doubt Is removed.

4 RACE SPIN OF CHALLENGER
Afforded but Little Satisfaction
TO "Spotters.o

New YORK, Aug 2s.-The idea thar
Valkyrie III is going to give Us the big
gest tussel of our lives In the fall match
Tor the Americas cup has been greatly
heightened by the result Of yesterdays
race spin on Sandy Hook.
The prospocts Of drawing q line through
the Vigilant upon Valkyris were deemed
good when Vigilant started from her an
chorage previous TO the departure Of Val
kyrie. She had On board George Corpack,
and was sailed by Captain Charles Barr.
She had set only her small gadtopsail
and jib, in addition TO her mainsail, and
saluted Valkyric and Mr.. Glennie as she
passed the trim black British challenger
The tide was at the last Of the food, and
Valkyyie " left her mooring buoy at 8
o'clock under her big mainsail, which was
hoisted from below, AID jib, set up by q
fall In stops upon the port tack. 1t was
evident that she did not desire q trial spin
for any other purpose than TO stretch her
canvas and make her sheets pliable. She
followed the Vigilant out toward the
Hook In leisurely way, breaking out her
forestaysail as she neared the channel.
Performance Kept Secret.
She tackled about, luffed and eased
sheets from starboard to port at will upon
her way out to the channel, and IL was
evident that the men in charge did not In
tend TO allow the small feet of newspaper
tugs TO have chance of seeing her work be-
side that Of the Vigilant. Cranfield did not
hurry at all. and IL was evident that he
had an eye to the necessity OF sufficient
preliminary testing of even his strong,
able rig.
The canvas set beautifully. The main
sail, in particular was admirable in its
dit, although the buttons were not yet In
the pockets. Her headsails look smaller
than the Defenders, but are still good
fitting cloths. No jibtopsail was carried
during the spin, nor was any gaf or club
topsails stretched.
She moved beautifully under the good
breeze, and showed that her hull Is
moulded to delicacy and power enough
to insure the fact that she is very
dangerous rival OF any American boat.
She is msrvelously quick in stays and
>time ut 30 seconds from eased sheets.
Little can be learned from what was so
evidently u relaxation trip. and Mr..
Glennie showed that he enjoyed IL after
the hard life he has had in the heat and
dust at Erie basin drydock. The yacht
came about OF can buoy No. and re-
turned to the Horseshoe
