HOLMES woRKINI FOR DELAY

Boston. Mass. April I6-Deputy Su-

1t Is the most remarkable story Of

but Of course il Is not all startling TO
those who are familiar with Holmes
and the iPetzel case. since his arrest.
He has told nothing particularly new.
and has only added TO the interest in
the case by his account. several other
crimes. This Is not the first statement
made by Holmes. He published 4 book
that appeared shortly before his trial
for the murder of PietzeL In his pub
lication he denied ever having commit
ted murder, but told a very extra
ordinary story Of defrauding insurance
companies by securing subjects from
medical colleges. II seems very clear
10 my mind that this blk was written
for the purpose Of preparing the public
mind for his defense n the Peitzel case.
In this latest confession il occurs 70
ne that he possibly may have in mind
The postpoDeme@t Of The day Of execu-
zion, and that he has perhaps had a

OF scientists and medical men in his
