1T WAS MIGHTY DRY IN GOTHAM.
Even the "Init!ated" Found 1t Dime uIt to
Obtain s.Hard Drinks"

NEW YORK, July 29-The police made
a supreme effort to enforce tho excise law
yesterday, and to all appearance they re-
allied their expectations almost to the
letter. To al practical intents the law
was SO thoroughly enforced that not sa-
loon was open to the general public, and
SO fearful had tho saloonkeepers become
OF the 'citizen spy" that it was difficult
matter for even tho initiated to get q
drink at any place. Iu the jurisdictio
OF the MacDougal street police, where vi
olatons of tho law have been found on
many Of the preceding Sundays by sa-
loonkeepers who have boastcd that no
power was strong enough to close up
their resorts, everything was especially
quiet.
Within the territory covered by the
Mulberry street police, esreci lily IN the
area filed with Italians. there was evil
dence that liquor was being sold, but it
was impossible to catch tho sellers. At
the clubs also the excise law was to all
appearances strictly observed. The pre-
cinct commanders had strict orders from
Acting Chief Coniin to see that clubs
were dealt with as saloons have been. At
the hotels 1t was somewhat different, as
the regular guests We're supplied with all
the refreshments they wanted at their
regular meals. At tho Fifth Avenue no.
tel the wants of the regular thirsty sun
day patrons were attended to in pariOr
+, where supply Of biscuit was fur
nished with every order for u drink

BONES SAID TO BE SOUP BONES,
But Hair FGund Believed To BE q Wom.
ans Clotted with Blood.

Another local paper says the physicians
have examined the bones found in the
Castle" basement and pronounce them
''soup bones" Some hair about foot
long was found matted together with
what ap. sars to be blood, but it may be
mud. Another friend OF Holmes named
Mischof has written to Philadelphia say
he has just returned from Europe and is
sure Holmes wasn't in Toronto at the
time of the alleged murder of tho Pitzel
children.
a telegram from Anderson, Lad, tho
home of Eneline Cigrandc, says that in
an interview her father, sefcrfingsto n
letter from Holmes to him stating that
his daughter had gone to Michigan and
been married to man named Phelps,
that the fact that they were to have gone
to Michigan senarricd and no point
given by them apsive that Holmes
made sure Of erasihg every clue. Even
though she was married it would be i'm
possible to find her marriage record.
From the descriptions she gave in her
letters. and to her sister when the latter
was in Chicago on a ten-days visit, he is
quite certain that Phelps was Pitzel. She
never spoke of aman by the name OF Pitzel
either. Another thipashass odds greatly
to his discomtiture5u6d makes him be.
lieve that his sdaughterh M teen dealt foul
ly with is the fact that although Miss
Phoebe Cigrand was in Chicago visiting
her sister ten days. less than n month be-
fore Phelps was to marry her, he never
showed up.
A close inspection OF letters shows
that one signed Emelino and supposed
to be from her three weeks after her mar
riage is not her writing on the typewrit-
er. 1t was done by some one that was by
no means an expert and there are traces
everywhere that Indicate that it was not
the work OF a proficient typewriter.
A lock ot her hair has been found. 1t
was taken from her head in 1872 and is a
foo. long, brown and very fine. Il corre-
spends with some of the hair found in the

The Ouinlans Now Believed To Bs Parti-
ceps Crininis, and Even Pitzers Hands
Not Unstained with Blood-Murder OF
Women on the Roil-Friends Of the Ac-
cused Man Put in Word.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Yesterday's devcl-
Opments in the Holmes investigation
closed the net till tighter around Pat
Quinlan, and added more proof to that
already obtained that he was an accom-
nlice and fully cognizant Of most If not
all his deeds. The police gave out the
name of Edward Chappell as a man who
not only had articulated skeletons for
Holmes, but also did much of the work
of constructing the mysterious tanks for
acid and lime in tho basement of the
Castle" The further the police get into
the matter the moro striking the fact
seems that all the elaborate plans were
part of u shillfully concocted scheme for
murder. 1t is thought that the proof now
In hand is such that the QuiElans can be
urraigncd for murder. Moro develop
ments are coming to the front every few
hours.
Pitzel Now Charged with Murder.
Inspector Fitzpatrick was put into
possession Of facts which weave a closer
web of proof around Holmes, and add
another victim to the already long list.
This information was furnished by At
torney George b. Chamberlain, general
manager of the Lafayette Mercantile
Agency. This murder is shown to have
been prior to or during 1891. B. f. Pit.
eel, who later fell victim, was n partici-
pant in the murder of this man, and
Chamberlain saws he vas equally guilty
with Holmes The crime was committed
in Chicago either in 1891 or early in 1882.
Again tho victim was traced to the
Holmes building in Englewood.
Eelieved to Have Been the First Victim.
The police do not think this body has
been found. The skeletons that were
articulated were furnished n year and two
years later. 1t is the belief that the body
was dissected and cremated, or buried
deep in quicklime in the basement. The
name of this victim is kept from the public
to allow the police to work up further
evidence. 1t is believed that this was
the first victim of Holmes. The police
have found woman's footprint in q
OHM vault IN unc CcStie anu con-
clude from this that a woman was killed
there. Another alleged victim of Holmes
is n Mrs. Lee, who disappeared during the
Worlds fair.
Still Another Murder Rumcre6.
St!li another alleged victim is Emily
Van Tasscl, who is another missing girl.
She was about 10 years old. At Toronto
it Is said that the evidence that Holmes
Alice and Nellie Pitzel is con-
elusive.
On the other hand a local newspaper is
In receipt of an anonymous letter which
says Minnie Williams. Mrs. Conner. an
man and little boy are living
on Wabash avenue, somewhere between
Forty first and Forty second streets, in
this city. The writer says he is friend
OF Holmes and ho knew Minnie Williams
and Mrs. Conner we'll He claims that
he met them last week. He also says
Holmes will be able to produce Annie
Williams ut the proper time.
