made by A II. Parker. OF Evanston,

frequent excursions into the wood
during he last two months Mrs
Parker some weeks ago declared the
place was grave and urgel her hus-
band to investigate it. He at first re-
fused, but finally consented, just to
show his wifi. that she knew nothing
about graves. He dug long enough to
turn up few ribs and thigh bone,
and then called on the police for help.

is only few rods from the house in
which H. II. Holmes lived at Wilmette,

Tins. The bones had evidently been
inferred within two years. and were
apparently placed in the grave without
