: HOLMES ALLEGED SCHEME.
VIII Try to Induce Mrs. Pitezel to Save
Him from the Gallows.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24-The North
American prints a story to the effect that
Murderer H. H. Holmes has evolved a
new scheme in last desperate effort to
escape the gallows. Upon what is said to
be authoritative information it is declared
that he means to ask Mrs. Pitezel, the
widow of the man for whose murder
Holmes is under death sentence, to inter
cede for commutation by the board of
pardons. Knowing the woman's penni-
less situation Holiness it is asserted, had
her brought here from her Illinois home,
and will pay her the $1,000 recently OBJ
tanned for his alleged confession. Thus
working en- her feelings the story goes,
he will beg for forgiveness, and, should
he win her over, perhaps induce her to
plead for his life. Mrs. Pitezel, who ar
rived here on Wednesday, admits that she
was ignorant of any preparations to call
her to this city, but by her lawyers advice
she will say nothing further.
