Two Other Girls Are Thought to Have Been
Chief Badenooh Says 1t Becomes More
Horrible Every Day.
Chicago, July 26.-Startlng disclos-
ures We're made last night to the chief
of police and the police engaged in the
Holmes investigation by Patrick Quln-
Ian, the trusted friend and former en-
ploye Of the alleged wholesale muir
derer.
He gave information which convinced
the police that Holmes made away with
Miss Kittie Kelly, who was employed by
him as his clerk at the drug store in
Englewood. Quinlan gave the police a
picture which he said was that of the
missing girl,
Chief Badenoch said at midnight that
the case was growing more horrible
and mysterious every hour, and he was
sure Holmes had committed many more
murders than those mentioned.
Two women called on the chief yes
terday and gave him the name Of a
sixteen-year-old girl, The daughter of
wealthy parents, who became acquaint-
ed with Holmes during the fall of 1898
and afterward disappeared.
The chief refuses to give the name
Of the girl, but he says he Is satisfied
that she Is another Of Holmes vic
Tins.
One Of the most important develop
mi nj 70 in Jn1y 90
was the alleged connection established
between Holmes and an insurance So
licitor, T. j, Downey, who operated In
Englewood and who is said to be the
man who assisted Holmes in placing
insurance on his victims and upon the
tiyes Of other persons insured in his ia
vor.
Julius T. Conner, whose first wife
was Julia e. Conner, one Of the women
supposed to have been murdered by
Holmes was examined at some length
by Chief Badenoch and Inspector Fitz-
patrick last night.
An interesting part of his statement
related to the persistent effort Of Holmes
to make him get his life insured. His
wife also wanted him to have his life
insured in favor Of Pearl, their little
girl, but he would never consent to take
out policy.
After telling in detail how he cams
to meet Holmes Conner proceeded az
follows 'GThe last time saw my wife
was once when Holmes wanted to Dor
row So. took the money to his Office
and my wife was there, but did no
speak to her. This was shortly befors
she went away. Some time after sht
had gone Holmes came to me and asked
| IL had heard from her. told him no
and he said that she had gone to st
Louis At one time Holmes asked me !
| knew where Mrs. Conner was, ant
1 told him / did, which seemed to great
| ly agitate him.
However, I did not know where sht
was, and finally told him so, which
seemed to greatly relieve him. Ont
thing | want to say and that Is my
sister Gertrude never worked TO-
Holmes. He told her if he could teacl
her the typewriter he would give he
the place of Miss Kelly, who had beer
| working in his office. One day Gerti'
said she would never go to his offic'
again, but she would not tell the rea
son. After she died the young MAJ
with whom she had been keeping com
pany said the reason was that HI
| (Holmes) had proposed to her to rui
away with him and he would MARI,
her and leave his family to shift fol
itself"
