Fl. H. Holmes Left No Will and Failed to

Rotan stated that he found among them nothing of in- terest There is no will among the pa pers and no provisions made for Mrs. Pietzel. Most of the papers were letters addressed to members of Holmes family bidding them farewell, and to other per- sons explaining points in the cases against him. Among his effects were a number of remembrances, which he de- sired to have sent to his wife (the first wife) and son at Gilmahton, N. H., and these trinkets will be forwarded. i
 When Thomas A. Fahy, the attorney for Mrs. Pietzel, learned that Holmes had not left a will and had not carried out his promise to provide for the widow of the man he murdered, he stated that he was both surprised and disappointed. Mir Fahy had hoped that when Holmes sincerely promised to leave one-third of his property to Mrs. Pietzel that he would keep his word. Mrs. PietzAl will leave for her home in Galya, H.. on Wednes- day.
