HOLMES, TERRIBLE CRIMES

Herman W. Mudgett, known as H. H.
Holmes, was one or the most conspicuous
criminals of modern times, and il the CON
fessiOns' which he has written can only
partially be believed, was without a Ieer
as a hlood-thirsty demon. His recent in
genious confession in which he Claimed
10 have killed twenty-seven persons was
disproyed, partly, at least, by the appear
ance of several OF the so-called victims;
but Holmes object in ma aking the con
i sum, said to be 81 500, and which amount
is said to have been settled upon the GRIM
inars eighteen-year-old son. While the
confessions. have served to increase the
The only capital crime Tor which Holmes
had TO answer was the Killing in this city,
on September 2, 1894, of Benjamin F.
Piteze!, his fellow cons spirator. The muir
der was committed In the dwelling No. 1916
Callowhill street Holmes conviction of
murder in the first degree, the affirmation
by the Pennsylvania supreme court of the
verdict, and the recen, refusal OF Gov
Hastings TO grant respite are so well
known that narration Of these facts Is
unnecessary.
HIS CAPTURE.
Holmes was captured in Boston, Mass in
the latter part of 1894 by Owen Hanscnn,
the deputy superintendent of Police, upon
a telegram from Fort Worth, Tex, where he
was wanted for horse stealing q nd for other
charges OF larceny. AT that time officials
of the Fidelity Mutual Life Association OF
Philadelphia were hot On Holmes trail Tor
defrauding the concern out OF SO OF 0 in
connection with PiteZeis death, the latter
being insured for this amount, and as the ac-
cuscd belle yed horse stealing a high criSie
in Texas, lie volunta rily confessed to Deputy
Supt Hanscom Ia the Insurance fraud.
He did not, for moment. dream that he
was then suspected of the murder of Pite-
eel, and lie came to Philadelphia without
reQuisition papers. He expressed willing
ness TO he tried here on the conspiracy
charge in preference to that of horse stealing
at Fort Worth. Before leaving Boston.
