FEssION WAS PARTLY s'FAKED."
Several of His Alleged Victims Are
Still Alive, and One Died Weeks
After Leaving His Castle.

=
PITTSBURG, Pa. April 14-Insurance In
spector Gary, of the Fidelity Mutual Life.
of Philadelphia, in which Holiness victim,
Pitezel, was insured, is in the city. He
says Holmes did not commit all the muir
ders he confessed TO. Kate Darke Is in
Omaha; DIR. Russell in Michigan; Roma Van
Fasant in Arkansas, and Robert Latimer in
Chicago. Gertrude Conner did not die for
six weeks after leaving Chicago for Iowa
A dispatch from Anderson, Ind, says:
Peter Cigrand, father OF Emile Cigrand. one
of Holiness victims, has waited for years
for an account of the disappearance of his
daughter. Mr.. Cigrand, his wife and daugh-
ter, however, put no credit in the state
ments made by Holmes rega riding her death
and they introduce the argument that any
one familiar with Emile and her high sense
of morality will not accept the statement
that she became his mistress. Cigrand, In
his examination of Holiness castle In CHI
cago convinced himself that she was not
smothered to death in the vault, but came
to her death in the room where the case
disappeared her sister, who was seen to-day,
was her guest at the castle. They had al
ways been exceptionally frank with each
though enjoying her happiest days. when.
according to the confession, she was being
severely harassed by Holmes. who was
TO be married and was going TO Europe.
When the sister was in Chicago IL was but
a month before the wedding. Although the
affianced was paying the closest attentions
to her sister during her long stay. she never
saw him and her sister did not have a pic
ture of him. From later descriptions she is
positive he was Pitezel, under an alias.
Holmes made overtures to her to insure her
life. She says Holmes was very pleasant 10
her. He had told her to go anywhere else
in the house, but never to pass through
certain door. Miss Cigrand afterward
passed through this door, and found her
self in the mysterious series of death cham
bers. The last ever heard Of Emile was two
weeks after the sister returned home. 1t
was a card announcing her marriage to the
unknown. There was not so much as an
address ON the card. A few days
later Emiles trunk. with all her
clothes and trinkets, was sent
home Only last week life-sized picture OF
Emile from the picture found on Holmes
was completed and delivered at the home
1t was framed and placed in a. room with
all of the girls clothes and trinkets.
Holiness letters and newspapers. 1t is a
room of horrors. They will write TO Holmes
and ask for a story in detail. If Holmes
will not give it in letter Cigrand will go
to him. He wants to be present at the
hanging and will ask for permit.

Holiness victims prepared by himself ap-
pears the name of Mrs. Havercamp. of
Hamilton. No person of that name is liv-
ing here or ever known to have lived here.

she ever lived here.
TORONTO, April H.-Holmes, in his con-
fession, says that he asphyxiated the

Superintendent Colbert is dissatisfied with
the action of the Criminal Court in sentenc-
ing James Wilson, the colored burglar. TO
the penitentiary for five years upon plea
of guilty. When he was arraigned Wilson
pleaded not guilty, but upon the advice OF
his attorneys he afterwards changed the
plea and was sentenced without trial. The
superintendent says that the department had
positive evidence that Wilson robbed at least
four houses and he feels that this evidence
ought to have been heard. or that the police
should have at least been notified that the

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is 10 be my successor

This consulate is one OF the hardest TO man

that the greatest part of the claims 10 be

The Porte Has Backed Down.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1.-THE thor
ough ventilation which the action of the Sui
tan towards the Protestant and Catholic
missionaries in Asia Minor has received
through the American press has had decided
ly beneficial effect. The United States charge
d'affaires, Mr.. John w. Riddle, has received
a written assurance from the Turkish gov
eminent that the Rev. Mr. George p.
Knapp, the American missionary recently
expelled from Bitlis, VIII be delivered to the
United States consul at Alexandretta. 1t Is
further stated that the Su,tan's trade pro-
vidng for the expulsion of the other mis-
sionaries from Asia Minor has been repealed
and. for the present at least, the missionar-
les need not anticipate any further trouble.
1t is understood that in both these cases

THE REVOLT SPREADING.
Uprising of Blacks Along the Trans
vaal BOrder-Buluwayo in PERIL

Nual bOruef-buluWayO In Peril.
CAPE TOWN, April 14-News has been
received here that the natives are preparing
TO rise along the Transvaal border. A rising
in northern Transvaal itself is also reported
to be imminent. There is something Of
panic among the Burghers who have ap-
pealed for arms with which to protect them
selves. The threatened spread of the dis
turbance along the Transvaal border makes
the situation at Buluwayo and in Matabele
much more serious. The authorities have
felt that Buluwayo was reasonably safe If
the food supply should hold out, but the
danger has been that the Matabeles would
stop the wagon roads through the Matoppo
hills and TO the south and thus prevent sup
plies from getting through from Mafeking
1t is believed that the white settlers scat
tered through Matabeleland are in places OF
safety by this time in BuluwayO or Gwelo
and the missionaries do not feel that they
run any risk from the natives, to whom
they are known, though there might be in
danger from strange wandering bands.
Only a part OF the five hundred reinforce
ments designed for Buiuwayo nave been dis
patched from Mafeking. the nearest point
available for that purpose 1t takes four
weeks hard travelling by OK wogans 10
reach Buluwayo from there and 1t is said
that the journey cannot be done in that
time except with very light loads. Trans
are needed at this time in Matabe,eland,
must therefore be slow and the new devel-
opments in the situation threaten to cut of,
at least to interrupt communication be-
tween Buluwayo and the only source to
which 1t can look for renewal or It's sup
plies.
1t has been discovered that some of the
Matabele who are employed as servants in
Buluwayo have been acting as spies and
conveying information of the movements of
expeditions TO their friends in outlying dis
tricts One of these traitorous natives was
shot TODAY.
