Mr.. Holmes has lived for forty-six
years, and where Miss Shute has had
charge of the household affairs since
the earlier months of 1874, just preyi-
GUS to the death of Mrs Holmes, who
died in December of that year. Not
for from the brick dwelling was the
more modern frame structure, the
home of the eldest son, Charles
Holmes, who has lived there since
his marriage. The latter has been
for years the manager of the planta-
tion.
Last night, about half-past six
O'Clock, Mr.. Charles Homes left the
farm with double team to take a
party of Second Presbyterian Church
people out to Cohansey on a straw
ride. Job Williams, a colored man
employed upon the place, left the
farm about ten minutes of seven.
At that time Mr.. John Holmes was
comfortably ensconced in the kitchen,
where Miss Shute was engaged in
making up some canned fruit.
The barns had been closed up for
the night. No lights had been used
in the structure, and all of the Ian
terms have been accounted for. There
was absolutely nothing about the
place to Indicate any danger of fire.
1t was few minutes after seven,
possibly twenty minutes past, when
the fire broke out and it seemed to
come from all parts Of the double
barns at once, lighting up all about
that vicinity.
When William Vineyard, a farmer
living north of the plantation, the first
one to get to the place, arrived, there
seemed to be no one about. He rushed
around to the back of the barn and
broke open the doors leading to the
barnyard. His efforts were directed
solely to saving the horses In spite
of the fierce heat, the fire burning the

[From Daily Pioneer, Thursday, Aug. 49, ]

[From Daily Pioneer Thursday, Aug. ISL
A horrible tragedy occurred last
might on the Bowentown road, two
persons losing their lives in most
terrible and devastating fire.
The victims of the tragedy are Mr..
John Holmes, an aged and highly re-
spected. retired farmer and his house
Keeper, Miss Catharine Shute, sister
of Edgar Shute.
1t was shortly after seven O'Clock
last night when bright glare was
noticed off to the west of sthe city,
lighting up the entire sky, indicating a
fire OF considerable consequence.
Many people went out from this city,
where it was found that the fire was
destroying the property of John
Holmes, just south of the Central
railroad crossing at Bowentown.
In town the rumor was that the
burning property was the barns and
outbuildings of Frank Tice, on the
farm formerly owned by Robert J.
Buck. The horrible truth Of the
nights tragedy was not known gen.
orally until this morning.
When. two OF the ''Pioneer'' report
ers visited the ruins this morning a
most remarkable sight was witnessed.
Never has fire been more complete.
The two great double barns, the
wagon house, the workshop and other
adjoining outbuildings were not only
destroyed, but the ruins were simply
great mounds of powdered ashes, not
a piece of charred timber being notice
able, excepting few posts which had
entered into the construction of fences
about the buildings.
Where the stalls had been in the
barn were the whitened, crumbling
bones of two fine horses that had per-
ished in the flames, while little way
from them we're the few remaining
bones of Mr.. Holmes and Miss Shute,
Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1902-09-04

were zealously guarded and as previ-
ously stated, were cared for by the
undertaken.
From the situation it would seem
that when the fire burst forth, Mr..
Holmes and Miss Shute went out to
the barn in the hope of saving the
horses from the fearful death await
ing them. They evidently went
through the wagon house leading into
the barn and from that point the
horse stables were reached by mar
row passage and it was in this passage
they fell and perished. 1t is quite
probable that they were overcome by
the smoke and suffooated
Mr.. Ed. S. Holmes was taken out
to the farm during the blaze. He
was overcome by the tragedy. He
could scarcely believe that his father
had met such horrible fate, but at
daylight this morning he was con-
vinced.
Mr.. Charles Holmes learned of the
fire after he arrived at Cohansey with
his party, and did not arrive home
until late. He could scarcely believe
the story.
lFrom Daily Pioneer Friday Aug. 2s.l
"We know the house was robbed
and we know we have the man, " posi-
lively said Coroner Clayton McPher-
son this morning in discussing the
Holmes tragedy of Wednesday night.
This sensational statement was given
to Pioneer" reporter this morning
by the Coroner. Further than that
the Coroner declines to make any ex-

Job Williams, the colored farm
hand employed on the Holmes farm,
Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1902-09-04

signed the paper as witness to the
signature of Williams.
Later Thursday night Williams
broke down and for some time was in
tears. Then he talked more freely,
this time to Sheriff Hendee and JUS
tice of the Peace Samuel M. Hall,
who was the magistrate who COM
mitted him.
In this confession Williams declared
that after Mr.. Charles Holmes had
started off with the straw ride party,
he determined to rob Mr.. Holmes of
the money he knew that he kept in
his desk in small room. To get
Mr. Holmes and Miss Shute from the
house he decided he would fire the
barn. This he says he did by going
in the structure, which was bursting
with the harvests of the farm and the
live stock, and threw lighted cigar.
cite into the straw. Then he went
out into the road and secreted himself
Watching the old folks AS he
thought. Mr.. Holmes and Miss Shute
then came from the house and entered
the burning barn, being attracted by
the fire.
AS soon as the old folks entered the
barn, Williams says he rushed in the
house by the front door, hooking it
inside. Then he went to the desk
where the money was kept, and says
he unlocked the drawer with one of
his bureau keys. Seizing the purse
and money he rushed from the rear of
the house ont over the railroad and
proceeded along the railroad toward
Oak Villa. Along the road, just back
OF the Krauter property, Williams
took the money from Mr.. Holmes

cap from Vineyards head, the gentle
man managed to get hold of one of
the animals but he could not get it
from the structure and it perished
with it's mate. When Mr.. Vineyard
opened the door he heard a moaning
sound which he thought came from
the horses, but from subsequent in
vestigation, he learns that the sounds
were from the perishing human beings
in another part of the barn.
Mrs. Vineyard accompanied her
husband to the Holmes place and she
found kitchen door open, but no one
was around and Mrs. Vineyard re-
manned right there to prevent the in
creasing crowds from going through
the house.
